 In my experience women really do tend to be worse than men.  We just don't let people see as often.  But it manifests online in the form of stuff like Garrus threads and slash fanfic.  Anonymity can be a wonderful scary thing sometimes. 

THIS! xD 
*hides in corner* although not so much slash fanfic but Nihlus and Samara.......mmmmmmm :innocent::innocent::innocent::innocent::innocent:

I don't read slash fanfic either, but the amount of attention it gets kinda fascinates me.  I read once about a study that was done that showed the most of the women who wrote slash pre-internet tended to be middle-class women with college degrees and steady jobs.  It made me laugh.  So now sometimes when I see that pleasant looking woman behind a counter in a bank, I can't help but think "so she's the type who writes Spock slash:devil:."  it makes me laugh every time.

lol, thank god I don't have any college degree ....wait, that metaphor just went somewhere horrible

What does Garrus say if you don't take him with you when you kill Fist? I have never done this before. I did it once with Wrex just to see what happened but I never did it with Garrus because obviously not having Garrus around for five minutes is five minutes sorely wasted.

I have no idea to be honest. I took him with me and didn't kill fist, can't remember though what he said to that. Only remember his comment on not shooting the workers before Fist's office.

Actually, though as surprising as this may seem, I never read fanfic before Garrus fanfic. It always weirded me out because most of it was really OCC or involved self-insertion. However, as ME is an RPG there is actually an outlet for self-insertion. People can make Shepard's personality pretty much any way they want. It lends itself very well to fanfic. People still have to create their own characters. They can't just steal and shoehorn other people's characters into situations that they WANT to happen. Crack fic is an exception of course. That stuff is fun and funny. I'm talking about the serious stuff here.

Anyway, I have since tried to read fanfic for other stuff and I just can't do it. It weirds me out somehow. Any graphic fanfic or art involving human guys usually does. Even the risque art in the Kaidan thread weirds me out. It makes me want to avert my eyes. It seems more "real" somehow, I guess because those characters are human and so it seems a little more alarming. I can't explain it. It's the strangest thing. I'm not saying this makes sense, but it is a weird reaction that I get.

yeah, I think others get that with aliens instead.

I'm actually writing something serious, no smut and my current chapter is draining in a way. idk....maybe I should just go to bed.

And I think Wrex is quite dismissive of Garrus on Tuchanka in a "can't be bothered" kind of way.

Wrex and Liara only recognize Shepard. If you take Garrus there they will ignore him. That's doesn't say how they think of him, but it's more an oversight from the writers I think. Wrex always says "I don't care what you aliens call it" IIRC, no matter who you bring. It would be so much better if Wrex and Liara also said hi to Garrus and Tali if they are present.  Wrex and Garrus will probably never be best friends, but I'm sure they respect eachother for doing what they have done together with Shepard.

Horizan is the only place Garrus and Tali get bonus lines from Ash/Kaiden. Liara and Wrex don't give you anything IIRC. Sad that only Garrus, and the secret dialog with Tali is well done.

According to the codex, Turian society has 27 'ranks' of citizenship.  Any idea what rank Garrus got to while working for C-Sec? 

Garrus actually unlocked the secret 28th rank.

Ragabul, re: the mind-reading thing--I can't tell you how many times I've been glad people couldn't read my mind (say, at work) especially since I started coming here. I think I've become even more perverted lately, if that's even possible. LOL seriously dude, I need to go to rehab or something XD

[Jackalope]

Don't worry about rehab, Garrus and this group here will not judge you.

I just never see a moment in ME1 where Wrex softens in his opinion of Garrus and seeing as he doesn't know "Archangel" Garrus I don't see why his opinion would have changed in ME2.

Granted, Garrus was a bit of a cocky smartass in ME1. He's very turian-focused, probably because he's green. When asked what he thinks about chasing an evil turian (Saren), he will respond that this will restore the good name of turians. He even makes a slight jab at Kaidan for not liking his powerful L2 implants because of the headaches. Garrus says that "Humanity will be judged by the sacrifices its people are willing to make, Lieutenant. The Turians would have kept the L2 implants." When you're talking to the Terra Firma guy, Garrus brags how even the sick and infirm turians will stand at the front lines in war. It's all turian, turian, turian. I think spending time on the Normandy in ME1, serving with different species, has given him food for thought and reshape his opinion. Like you said, he did this with the quarians. It won't change his mind about the krogan or the genophage, but I think he can appreciate Wrex for what he is. I also don't think Wrex would resent Garrus for simply being a turian, because Garrus was not there when they released the genophage. Garrus is simply defending this because he learned this from his father, history class or whatever shaped him when he was younger. They'll never give eachother a brofist or -hug and grab some drinks together to chat a bit, but if we get them both back in in ME3, they'll get along just fine. Their different opinions might collide at times, but there's not really any clear animosity between them on a personal level. Especially when Wrex meets the new, improved and matured Garrus .

As for Wrex being dismissive of aliens in general, I don't think that's the case. He says the same line no matter who says what. Garrus mentions adolescence, Miranda calls it puberty. He doesn't care about the name. He only knows Grunt has to do the Rite.

Now, I'm off to survive zerg swarms again.

I agree with the Garrus/Wrex bits. Two likable characters do not need to like each other. That being said, in ME3, you potentially have an army of Krogan under Wrex, and I look forward to any interaction betwen the two.



And I'm off...my friends called and said they're watching 'He's Not That Into You'. I think I need ice cream.
