Wrex is different than Grunt. Wrex is not > Grunt. Grunt does not = Wrex. If we're talking about awesomeness of personality, give anyone a thousand years of stories and see what that gets you.

Grunt is there to fill Wrex's archetype. Thats reason enough to compare the two.

No, Zaeed is the old soldier with a black sense of humor and a head full of war stories. Grunt occupies an archetype not seen in ME1.

Just because he's a krogan doesn't mean he's trying to be Wrex, racist.

[Pacifien]

Heh. I was going to point out the similarities between Zaeed and Wrex earlier. Don't really see Grunt's type in the first game. Maybe he's Minsc. But smart.

Oddly, Grunt kind of steps into Garrus' shoes a little. Though accomplished in his own right (Garrus as a respected C-Sec agent, Grunt as the 'perfect' krogan) he is nevertheless student to Shepard as mentor, enthusiastic for the opportunity but grappling with deeper questions about his place in it.

It'd be interesting to see how Grunt develops then in ME3, much as Garrus developed in ME2. Some people say Garrus took a step backwards if they did a paragon ending to his quest with Dr. Saleon, but even in spite of that, he develops into someone who looks up to Shepard to someone who is willing to speak on equal terms with Shepard.

I'm not sure if Grunt will ever reach that step so long as he views Shepard as his battlemaster. But Shepard is played as a bit of a tactician compared to the brute force of a krogan. It would be interesting if Grunt took on such an approach to his own combat. Decidedly unkrogan behavior, but makes him a much stronger warrior.

Grunt is Shale in space.



And therefore awesome.

Times like these I wonder about that polite Krogan I met on illium.

The calming influence of the asari. You get poetry spouting krogan on Illium as well.

The krogan in Zakera Ward seem nice enough, but they do still talk a lot about kicking the ass of random turians.

This is true.

Just to add something:



Grunt starts his life with Shepard!

Grunt knows about life because Shep was there to help him!

What can be cooler for a mate?



It's not about Wrex or Grunt, IMHO. I could have them both by my side.



I is not really inspired today, but Go Grunt!

Grunt's character has always rubbed me the wrong way. Always eager to cause a fight than end one. But he does have that distinct ability to eat rockets to the face like Wrex did for me in Mass Effect 1. So ya, hes ok I guess. But something Grunt says worries me, my Paragon Shepard once told Grunt that some day the fighting has to end, and Grunt retaliated by saying that he'll kill my Shepard himself if he ever chooses to stop. Or something like that.

[PseudoEthnic]

Something has been annoying me lately. When Grunt called Shepard his Battlemaster, don't you need to be a biotic like Wrex? I don't know a lot about the whole 'Battlemaster' thing.

[DevinGuyX]

I'd say my love of Grunt consists of equal parts awe of his badassery and amazement at the beauty of his character model.

No, I think the biotic aspect is incidental to Wrex. I think a battlemaster is considered a veteran of many great fights and of whom has achieved victory through various trials of deadly odds. So hence Grunt looks at Shepard as a perfect example of that.

[Raizo]

I love Grunt. I would love to see him return in ME3. Not only was he a very useful and powerful squadmate to to take into battle but I also enjoyed talking to him on the Normandy.

While as V-Rex already said, I think "Battlemaster" is really a title for someone who has proven to be a considerable warrior. You can read more about them in the Codex entry "Krogan: Military Doctrine" which you can access on the ME Wiki here.

It would appear that a lot of biotic krogans do tend to get promoted up the ranks so that a disproportionate number of them will reach Battlemaster status. But that's not to say most Battlemasters are biotics.

Wonder when a krogans head plate is supposed to harden completely as we see on Wrex. That'll alter Grunt's look considerably, I'd think.

[Cerrydd]

Ahhh, the baby hasn't dried up yet.

They designed him to look young. Makes me wonder when a krogan reaches his 'finished' look.

I do want to pinch Grunt's cheeks.
