Jaques was a bartender for 2 hundred years despite being rich enough to own an entire station and then update it to jump across the galaxy. I think unless the narrative has him returning to his black ops roots and he's now "Salvation" ...he would still be a bartender for sure.

Wouldn't that be a doozy!

One could see a way to retcon / reveal the actions of jaques across the entire game as having been part of a plan he has had in motion to oppose "The Club" - an organization he could be indirectly responsible for creating 300 years ago... We know he was created by the fed's to be a black ops soldier but wasn't totally pro-military. He was tortured by the empire for years if not decades but never gave them what they wanted it would seem. They didn't kill him for some reason, so he must contain some knowledge about something that killing him would lose. That makes him seem oddly integral way more than a random soldier from 300 years ago should (and he's the only such survivor we ever hear about).
I think the lore they could build around jaques eclipses the whole formadine rift story by an order magnitude ... Though they've alienated the only remaining good fiction writer probably capable of doing all of that in a cohesive way that wont be fumbled badly through disjointed galnet stories and bad puzzles
After 200 years of living and interacting with people you probably know what everyone around you will do long before them.
It's a lot of time to learn patterns of human behaviors.
I'm a President you know?
Where's my tapioca pudding?
Which means being a bartender has a purpose beyond simply being a hobby he enjoys.
I think Jaques is one of the original members of the Club before it became the Club. I think his position as bartender was used as a cover ..and as an espionage tool.
i'm not convinced he's not still a member if not the leader of the Club rather than some opposition of it. His actions and their plans are in alignment so far. His long life and experience makes him super-human in his ability in politics and strategy.
Really you could go either way with him. But i dont think he would abandon his cover unless he was ready to end the subterfuge either way....so he would still be a bartender otherwise.
What's the fun of being a president if I can't sniff hair of young girls anymore because it's allegedly creepy?
Still better than what the last one wanted to do to young women (including his daughter). So we're improving!
Well, being tricked into choosing the (slightly) lesser evil is great summary of modern democracy.
But let's not dig too deep into this, it's wrong to SERIALLY talk about such disgusting thing like politics here.
And against forum rules as far as I know...
We could trick mods by disguising real politicians under names of PP leaders and officially talk about in-game politics
(Lacking in creep)
I followed the campaign slogan of Montgomery Brewster during the last election and voted for "NONE OF THE ABOVE", so no lesser evil on my part.
And here's a cat:

As far as I can tell, that guy went back and made a weak effort! Lol!
I know right?!
I was a bit confused that he'd gone back to edit it, as if we are some sort of mad, bossy clique in here, but then to see the effort, it was immensely lame, almost rude. I hope he returns with a better attitude in future!
Let me clarify - I hope he doesn't come back, but if he does, a better effort is made.
OUTSIDER!

It is encouraging that patch 7 wasn't a month away from patch 6.
They really need to go with a frequency of updates that limits how many total changes are being included in each update so feedback and regression/bug reporting can more easily be done to reflect the changes in a given patch. Weekly probably works well at this time. Or even bi-weekly.
