Wow, whatever happened to the forums that caused my triple post... it happened with Ragabul's post too. o_o; Now I have to edit them with Garrus pics from the OP. I really should start saving them. I don't even have any Saren pics.


Yea, and something just happened that turned a Garrus pic I posted into a porn pic....
I deleted it but yikes.  The forums have been acting stupid for me the last few days.  I thought it might be my computer, but now I don't know.


Was it Garrus porn??? :unsure:


unfortunately not -.-

A resounding NO! It was the eyeball rupture inducing kind of porn.

Serves me right for grabbing some random image off google image search. Well now I know better.

Ahh, yes, the kind that seems to show up when you plug the most innocuous of terms into google. I wonder if it's their secret mission <_<

I don't get it. Is it just random mischief or do they really think that will draw people to whatever site? If I type in "giraffe" then I probably want a picture of a giraffe. Why am I gonna go "oh look porn, that's what I really meant by giraffe." I know most of that crap has viruses and tracking cookies and such in it, but some of it does just seem like random mischief. I am not web savvy.

I'm so glad I missed it. At least the Zombie Garrus pic I tried to post only came up with an "image has been removed or deleted" message. I gave up trying to post pics.

So, back to Garrus. Or turians. I think we were talking about our Shepards.

Like I said before, MainShep's a Sentinel. She's what the forums would call an Assault Sentinel. She fights like a happy krogan with biotics, tech powers, and a shotgun. Garrus probably worries when she rushes into battle like that, or at least he's relieved she didn't want a real sparring match.

I've got three Sheps, but I just designed a new paragon for a pure paragon Garrus. She's an adept. I'm working my way through ME1 with her right now.

Does anybody else wish they could renegade Garrus with slightly different reasons? I agree with renegade Garrus but I hate how Shep seems to focus on gratuitous jollies off violence there. "Remember that feeling. That's how it should be." I kill Saleon because he's a slimeball and is hurting innocent people. Not because it makes me feel big and tough. I don't like that.

For planned playthroughs, I have too many to list. For those I've actually played so for, the only other one is MaleShep. He's a Vanguard who really likes explosions. His battle style will actually translate well into ME2. Lift + high explosive ammo = Pull + Incendiary/Inferno Ammo, and for grenades he has his heavy weapon. I remember reading that the Claymore (or whichever the krogan-made one is) is the best shotgun, so he'll use that.

More options for Shepard would be good. The "remember that feeling" dialogue works really well for my Shepards. Yeah, they're a vengeful bunch. One of my Shepards really needed an extra choice for dealing with Jacob's father though - he wouldn't just leave him, but he doesn't want Jacob to just hand him a gun either. He would have Renegade interrupted Jacob and killed his father for him. Unfortunately, there can't always be a perfect option for every Shepard.

I only very recently started designing characters with a set personality. After DAO in fact. Otherwise I just played good guys and changed things up by mixing up gender and class and going for new LIs. Sometimes I'd do a slightly darker run of something sort of like a paragade. The only game I have ever had fun playing as an overtly evil guy was in Oblivion. It is just too fun to run around as a vampire assassin in that game. However, I also like playing a goody goody knight in that game just as much. I think the thing that finally got me to design characters beforehand was the level of nuance in DAO. You can fine tune a character's personality in that. Being able to import has something to do with it in ME2. Anyway, my point is that I have actually played through with 20+ different Shepards, but I only have 4 that are official and designed from the ground up and those are all post DAO Sheps.

Well, it's been swell talking to the Garrus crew tonight, but I'm turning in. Since I don't know the appropriate Turian signoff, I will say simply Keelah Se'lai.

I have a very clear image in mind for my Sheps when I start playing:
MainShep is Paragon, Adept, Earth born/War Hero....she's someone with strong beliefs, very passionate and loyal to her friends. She believes in the good nature of everyone! The perfect hero! She stays faithful to Kaidan.

on contrary to that:

Kara: Renegade, Sentinel, Colony Kid, War Hero. She went the Paragon way in ME1 because after Elysium she saw that she's become some sort of role model, if she liked it or not. She's a loner, very insecure inside, never talks about her feelings. The loss of her Me1 crew is very hard on her. In Me2 she turns Renegade. She's angry, disappointed, hurt, confused about her own actions and so frustrated because she just can't do anything about the situation she is stuck in. She went from being everybody's darling to a stranger that is eyed suspiciously, even the ones she trusted the most. She's always had a thing for Garrus but never admitted it. Her insecurity would have never allowed her to actually voice these feelings. She used to "entertain" herself with one night stands. Feelings were something to be ignored because they only hurt. When she woke up in the Cerberus lab, first thought was to get back to the Alliance. But the events after that made her hit rock bottom. Meeting Tali was hard on her. No warm welcome because Shep had Cerberus in tow and acted all weird herself, pushing Tali back just like she had always done it with people that had gotten too close to her. She interprets Tali's reactions as betrayal and distrust. God, her inner conflict is so interesting to figure out. She is with Garrus because she had always wanted to be with him and feels, he's the only person she can truely rely on.

Keelah Se'lai Buscuit, was a pleasure to have you around. Feel free to stop by whenever you like. Good night.

What could a turian signoff be like? Hmmm... *Rubs chin*

"Travel with the spirits" Naah.

"May your citisen tier rise" That just went somehere horrible in my mind...

"Keep your enemies in scope" Too Garrus centric.

I need to work on these. But SpaceBuscuit has a point; a cool sounding turian signoff would be usefull. It's hard to beat our friends the Tali fans "Keelah Se'lai" though.

@Ragabul: Wow, 20 Shepards? That's about the same as I have planned.

I only bought ME1 a few months before ME2 was released. So... I'm on my fourth playthrough of ME1, but only have one playthrough of ME2. (It would have been three for ME1 and two for ME2 had Liara not messed it up.) Mass Effect was the first game I played with the ability to make so many choices for the character. That's the reason I bought it, to make different characters. I bought DAO because I liked Mass Effect and BioWare made both. xD

I think I might have some of the more "evil" Shepards out of everyone on this thread, even just judging by MainShep. Most people destroy the base, and MainShep gave it to TIM as a present. Also the DLC decisions she doesn't get in-game, she would have gladly helped Zaeed with his revenge and let the Overlord project continue because her relationship with TIM is based on favors like that. But even EvilShep with his plans to rule the galaxy has standards - he doesn't like Saleon's "overkill," and he's disgusted by people like Jacob's father. There are some decisions my Shepards will never make.

@Jane: My MainShep is Sentinel, Colonist, War Hero like Kara. xD At least, the one who romanced Garrus is. The "true" MainShep is Colonist Ruthless. MaleShep who romanced Tali is Vanguard, Earthborn, Sole Survivor.

I got four Sheps.

Gayle is my mainshep paragade. She's a little like Garrus, but she is more cautious. She's all about "cold" justice. About not being biased when dispatching it. To her that's what makes you different from a thug. She isn't impulsive. She is very meticulous and thinks hard about everything. She's Colony/Ruthless Hates batarians with a passion. Loosely based on myself. She's with Garrus-renegades him in ME1, paragons him in ME2.

Robin is my flat out paragon. She's military through and through. Pretty big on order. Spacer/War Hero She values authority and has tremendous respect for those who have earned it. She also buys into a sort of opposites attract and refine idea which is why she goes for paragon Garrus. They kind of complete each other.  

Nate is another paragade, values loyalty above anything. Will do anything for his squaddies, he's a sucker for damsels in distress, he's for Tali

Gail is a variant of Gayle, a "what if," the only difference is she went through Akuze instead of Torfan and it changed everything. She's a paragon, got an almost Buddhist like compassion streak in her, high value for life, in a lot of ways she is the most interesting, I could write a small novel trying to explain her, she's with Thane.

My mainshep is a colonist/ War hero and an inflitraitor . She is also a paragon turned paragade in ME2.

Neat story I did just for her to explain the transition *ahem*

When saved during Mindoir, instead of using that experience as a reason to be vengeful, my Shepard wanted to be just like those soldiers so she could save others and make a difference. They saw importance in her life even though she was just some colony kid that didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Shepard makes a point to never to forget the little people which explains why she gladly stops to help strangers all the time. It’s also why she argues so strongly with Garrus in the beginning because he spoke of bystanders as if they were just numbers to him. Despite this strong belief, something happened that challenged her most important philosophy during "Bring down the sky". Shepard promised herself that she wouldn't let what happened on Mindoir ever cloud her judgement, but Balak was the most evil baterian she had ever encountered and no doubt was responsible for lots of human enslavement and deaths.

In the moment she had to choose, she was filled with so much hate that his death was immediately more important than the life of those 3 scientists. She leaves him wounded for reinforcements but the result is horribly bittersweet, Shepard isn't the same afterwards as she can’t forgive herself for what she did.

After she is brought back, it's obvious that's she's a bit more vengeful and has a lot more contempt for criminals than she originally did . It explains why she behaves so differently in ME2 (more likely to say and do renegade things) she seems to have “wised up” to how the most of the Galaxy works at that point, it’s not a nice place and you can’t be the nice guy all the time. ME2, for me, was all about my mainshep slowly regaining her past idealism, by stopping Garrus from killing Sidonis, stopping Miranda, Mordin etc. She has to live with horrible regret so she doesn’t want her team mates to do the same.

Ok I’ll stop now, sorry, I love inventing stories, it’s so much fun!

Yea, but that's the thing.  I just made them up as I went along so I don't remember crap about them.  That's why my import screen is such a mess.  I have like 20 Sheps I don't remember anything about and I can't delete the files.  It is very frustrating.

For Kara, the events on Mindoir have been her fuel to make a change in the galaxy. For the better. But after the Alliance turned their back on her, she finds herself more vulnerable than ever. She is alone, for the first time in years and she hates the feeling. She's always been wary around Batarians but never allowed herself to actually hate them. In Me2 her emotional chaos can't stop her from turning into a Batarian racist. She finds herself more than once considering certain things and it all just adds to everything.

Yet, she starts to like the whole having her own ship thing with no regulations from doing her job.

Making up stories for Shepard is fun. :D I do the same with all of my Shepards. It's way too long and detailed for me to post though. By the way, I think MainShep wants to high-five or brofist all these batarian-hating Shepards. "These humans, they understand!"

MaleShep in my very first playthrough wasn't planned out that well either, since I didn't know all the choices he would have to make. And he technically has just one NG+, so if I accidentally load the wrong save into ME2, there's only one more with his name. I can imagine trying to sort through that many Shepards would be difficult.

@Xsauce: If someone said goodbye to EvilShep by saying "may your enemies be crushed beneath your feet," he would be a happy Shepard.

Yeah that's why I love going to Omega first, it's where she acts most renegade during the game before she becomes more paragon again later. It's also the place that has the most Baterian confrontation. Shepard gets to threaten the ones at the entrance to afterlife, smart talk the one that calls her a stripper, get revenge on the one that poisons her, electrocute cafka not to mention being able to kill the ones that hold Mordin's assistant hostage. Despite all this My Mainshep still helps the sick one in Mordin's recruitment only because he isn't a criminal, she makes a point that she can see the difference between a Baterian and a criminal buts is extremely difficult considering their reputation and attitude.
