After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
Oh wow. Makes me wonder if the artist put it there on purpose "
What does? I don't get this. Moderately worthy of maybe the thought of laughter, but they are making two completely different faces. And fuck the people who drew these characters. Especially that third one on the right.
God damn this game looks horrible. Thanks for answering me, people, so I don't have to play this.

They probably figured Jacob was way too nice in ME2, so he must be light-skinned.
The ME2 character models for Jacob and Miranda are based on the voice actors' actual faces. EA probably didn't want to pay for their likenesses in this game.
Galaxy came out before the character designs for Jacob and Miranda had been finalized. They went with what they had at the time. Miranda didn't change too much, but Jacob ended up being changed a little more. I know this because I met and talked with one of the lead artists for Galaxy this past summer at a convention.
And yes, I have the game, that is an old Batarian Ambassador attempting to make peace between his people and the rest and bring his race back to the Citadel.

Guess this is just a case of not knowing what the final look would be, rather than an artist taking a different interpretation of something already established. Personally, I don't mind the different look at all.
