I can't really say why without spoiling a big secret.
SPOILERS
Societal pressures and expectations can totally force an asexual person into sexual situations
There's no reason he couldn't be both asexual and still continue the family line leading to Lydia

Well, given the game takes place in a rather short period of time and as far as I can tell there isn't much opportunity presented through the narrative to support that assumption either way.
I had the permanent XP boost from the gold version, which comes in auto-renewing 10 hour expirations. When I 100%ed the game, I had 1:30 left on my seventh refresh of of the XP boost. There was an aggregate 1:30 over my entire playthrough where the XP boost had temporarily reverted to a non-expiring one before it renewed it a 10 hour expiration. So the 68.5 hours tracked over seven 10 hour expirations + the 1.5 hours I manually counted.
Evie is the star of the Jack the Ripper DLC, taking place 20 years after the main game, and after she has been living in India for some time
Nothing yet rules out that Jacob is the Ripper
You made me think it was out so I rushed over to check but now I am downloading some victorian legends costume pack. This thing is 2 gigs! Must be some costumes!
The London map is certainly slimmed down from Paris, at least as far as collectibles go
I think space-wise it might be bigger
It's very manageable though
london is both larger and more collectible-filled than paris, though this is not immediately apparent because the rope launcher and carriages let you get around much faster and they don't immediately dump all the collectible icons on the map
Ratonhnhake:ton leered at that woman's ass and Altair had that whole thing with Adha
These are small things, but Jacob's lack of even small things is what I'm talking about, not just the lack of a love interest
That's why I said during AC1; all those elements of Altair were put in after the first game. The scene you mention in ACIII I seriously don't remember at all, but I'll of course take your word for it.
But with the latter, if you're saying there aren't even examples of Jacob having any sexual interest or innuendo, I mean... there's all of Sequence 5.
I genuinely did not find Jacob and Pearl to be flirtatious
Total opposite for me; one of the things I was really impressed by in Syndicate's engine was how they animated a lot of really good mannerisms in body language and facial expressions.
I totally read
Alexander Graham Bell as having a crush on Evie too in the way he talked to her versus Jacob.

oh yeah bell is totally fitzin' for evie and she is aware of it
Similarly, roth was clearly into jacob from the start and Henry and evie kicked it off early
Jacob seemed to consider pearl and roth friends

Probably. Unity kind of hurt the brand and it'd already been losing steam.
If true then thank god. Maybe they will finally attempt something new now instead of the usual formulaic paste. Like the next "Black Flag" of the series.

I'd say "Eh..."
I have lots of thoughts about the game but I'll save that for after Thanksgiving.

TL;DR: I'm OCD and crazy.

The thing most making me want to go back is honestly the crime-solving
They're all SO GOOD

Neither did Connor or Altair (during AC1 that is)
"Asexual" doesn't necessarily equate to "has a story not involving a romantic partner."

That's surprisingly soon, and makes me pretty amped I held off on the pre-order.
And here I was hovering my finger over the GMG 43% off deal.
Glad I didn't jump on that!

To be devil's advocate here, I got Dragon Age Inquisition on a $35 Gold Box deal like a month after it came out too.

Even if they did it wouldn't be done in a year
Also Syndicate is fantastic
I love Green, I love Evie, I love Clara, I love Abberline
This entry has made the strongest first impression on me in I think the whole run of the series
Jacob is also there
He is certainly present
(I don't hate him, or anything - he's just not as dope as everyone else)
