I can’t believe people forgive the geth, just like that, for killing Jenkins Like, do you not realize what you owe Jenkins? How can you just walk around with Legion as a party member when he was part of the hive mind that killed Jenkins??

It is a bit off putting that he was done in by a Geth flying drone. Would it have been more effective/ impactful if he was taken away and spiked by a Geth? Or caught by Husks?

Bioware has a thing for introducing temporary party members in the beginning who die really quickly but Jenkins is one of the shortest lived.

I’m curious what the logic is since they use that trope a lot. Maybe it’s so they can quickly demonstrate how evil and dangerous the antagonists are?

It's an extension of the Doomed First Town

It’s kind of interesting though how Bioware’s doomed tutorial guy is usually someone your player character just met. It’d be different if the doomed first party member was like your character’s beloved dad or something.

Baldur's Gate axes your adopted dad. Andromeda goes for the twofer, puts your sibling in a coma AND kills your dad. As for Jenkins specifically, he's just a Leeroy Jenkins/Gears of War joke, isn't he? Arguably the "real" guy who gets killed to kickstart the plot is Nihlus.

Yeah I think it's easy for some people to forget how ubiquitous the Leeroy Jenkins joke was back then
