Adding my opinion

*** It's possible the Precursors offered this gift knowing Veger was nearby and that he would be the one to take "the honor" instead. Note that Veger doesn't step into the light and "steal" it from Jak; the Precursors actually ''grant him the gift instead''. By doing so, Veger gets his comeuppance; it's probably [[AFateWorseThanDeath the worst thing]] that could happen to him and the ultimate "be careful what you wish for". So the Precursors never intended to actually turn Jak into one of them -- even though they could easily do so. This is underlined by the fact that Jak is never granted his "gift" later on, either, not even after he ''has'' defeated Erol. And Jak never asks for it again.
*** Then again, it's possible that if JAK had recieved the gift, he could have recieved the power of the precursors. Don't forget, Jak is a decendant of Mar and an amazing eco sage. If he'd beome a precursor he may have been capable of using the Precursor's legendary power unlike Veger (who just thinks he's God) and Daxter (who's...Daxter). The extent of the Precursors abilities can only be guessed at, most of it seeming to draw from their technology, but perhaps the remainder of the Precursors were weakened by the metal heads and Jak could have pulled them out the gutter. It's a possibility.

* Forget all of the migraine-inducing time travel issues. This is what's really bothering me: aside from the dramatic StabTheSky gesture, why the heck did Praxis [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight bring a]] ''[[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight sword]]'' to confront the Metal Head Leader? Yes, it was very nice and glowy (which doesn't make sense, either) but... ''why''? The guards all had guns ([[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy and a fat lot of good that did them]]), and they meant to [[spoiler: set off a ''bomb'']]. There was absolutely ''no'' reason for Praxis to have a melee weapon with him. And here's the kicker-- you only see it for ''one'' scene. Not an entire cutscene. Just part of one. The Baron doesn't have it when [[spoiler: he dies]].
* Here's a kicker: when you finally reach Freedom League HQ in 3, Veger shows up after you repel an assault from the KG bots. And after trying to make AnOfferYouCantRefuse, which of course gets refused, Ashelin then steps up and tells Veger that she hereby disbands the council and strips him of his power. Two problems with this little development. 1) Why didn't she do it before the council banished Jak to the Wasteland? And 2) How does she even have such power anyway? At the end of II, she became the new leader of the Krimzon Guard, but we all know how that deal turned out by 3. I suppose she leads the Freedom League along with Torn now, but still, it's questionable how she can disband the council and why she didn't do it earlier.

** Near the end, just before TheReveal, The Precursors are about to give Jak the right to become "one of them", but what is the point of that in a time of extreme emergency, when a giant alien spaceship is about to destroy the planet? If Veger hadn't been there and if Jak had been transformed into an Ottsel, he probably wouldn't have been physically able to get to Errol and save the world.
