@TheSweetGirl: Yeah, that was one of the most beautifully heartbreaking lines in that scene (of many heartbreaking lines), it's like the armor he keeps up is crumbling. That whole conversation was probably the most emotionally taxing in the game, IMO. It's obvious how broken he is in that moment. :crying:

It shows you how much Garrus is emotionally distraught. Poor guy

You know what?

I wonder how he reacted when he was told Shepard was dead. Posted Image

I was just listening to a song on youtube, and then I saw dancing turian. His dance moves fit the song so well. xD

Is that line you guys are talking about from Garrus' Paragon loyalty mission?

Yup. It's in the car, if you go paragon and argue with him about why he wants to kill Sidonis. Poor Garrus, he tried to sound so tough but he was so obviously vulnerable. I want to kick Shepard for not hugging him. :<

@Sialater: Very true, but he delivered all of his lines excellently. ::swoon:: :wub:

I think I've only heard it once on youtube. My Shepards tend to go Renegade in Garrus' loyalty mission.

I think almost everyone has a morbid curiosity to see Shepard's funeral, I know I do at least. Who spoke, who cried, who held it in like a trooper... Garrus is obviously squarely in the last group.

@Kim: You need to try it firsthand at least once! Especially with a FemShep.. Meer's voice just doesn't handle that kind of subtlety well. When FemShep goes, "This isn't you either." ... Man. I just love that scene so much. ::goes to watch it again::

Loved in my sig opens with Kaidan and Garrus at my Shep's funeral.  And now that I've pimped myself....

I was thinking of trying the Paragon path with a "redeemed Ruthless" MaleShep that I'm planning. It might just be one of those missions that all of my Shepards do the same way though. They seem to be more Renegade than the other Shepards I've seen around the Garrus thread. When I think about some of my Shepards, who would actually shoot through anyone who gets in the way of their revenge, teammate or not... it just wouldn't be in character, and it's difficult to make one Shepard do it when I know how the others would feel if they were in Garrus' place during that mission. (Of course, Garrus would never shoot at Shepard or hold a grudge. I'm just talking about some of my Shepards here.)

This is what happens because I like to imagine all of my Shepards in the Normandy together. It would be like "MainShep disapproves -100."

Yay for the dancing turian! :D Somebody paste Garrus' head on top and off we go! XD

Don't know if anyone heard, but Garrus is the 10 best video-game characters for the Guardian in the UK (sadly at the end)

Woah. At the bottom of the list or no, being on a -top ten best game characters- with the likes of GLaDOS and Mario is a major win. O_O

Wow...did not expect to see Captain Olimar on there. He wins everything, hands down.

Regardless, Garrus certainly earned his spot on that list to stand next to Mario.

As happy as I am to see him on the list, his section was reeeeeally vague. You think they did that to avoid spoilers or something?

I think it is because of that. D: I mean, they used his ME1 picture instead of ME2. Not to mention his profile hasn't risen from the classified status on the official website.

Yeah, it is a little hard to get 'official' looking info on him. ::mutters::

Well that is quite an accomplishment. :) Considering the amount of time and overhype some of the other characters have had at their disposal.



But I have to admit I love GLaDoS too.

I think the fact that he's on there and ManShep isn't is frankly, quite awesome.

I'm not begrudging Garrus being there, but it seems like a really odd choice. Garrus? Out of all the video game characters out there? Even out of all the Bioware characters? Heck, even out of all the ME characters? I dunno. He's my favorite but I don't know that he's the best.

Well it is subjective. The criteria for the greatest could just be who the author liked the most.

Top X lists are always up for grabs based on the writer's personal preferences. *shrug*

Granted I also think that people like Kratos and Solid Snake often end up on there "just because" or because the writer might think he'll be lynched if he doesn't. So going with something that isn't obvious is good as well. And Bioware games have always been really underrepresented. There is a kind of bias towards games with realistic characters with guns. Think of the amazing reviews stuff like Gears of War 1 got. Gears? I never got that.

And in some ways, I guess picking a face for ME is  just the thing to do because the whole thing is an amazing study in great characters. Having to pick the "best" ME character would make my head explode. I'd just have to pick some guy to stand in for them all.

Somewhat off-topic: This thread kindly requests your support. Garrus is too awesome to share a board with other non-character topics. And he needs a place to discuss his favorite rifle. Thank you.

Got a question for you guys. I am currently doctoring up an old aborted fic of mine and I wanted to try something. If Shep was female do you think Garrus would get buddy/buddy with any other male crew member? I know he's friends with Tali, but I'm specifically looking for a male friendship here. I can't really think of anybody. Who do you think would be the strongest candidate for that? Or do you think he would do such a thing at all?

Kaidan: I can see Garrus getting along with Kaidan, but their difference in opinion would probably mean that they'd never be buddy buddy.

Wrex: Can't see a friendship here.

Jacob: He seems to be jealous of Garrus, so if Shepard is female I can't see any friendship.

Mordin: They'd get along. I'm not sure if Mordin is really big on being bros with anyone though. Too much science (is that possible?)

Thane: I think Thane has the greatest potential. The only thing that I could see as possible road block is that Garrus would probably not agree with Thane's philosophy on the soul being separate from the body. Just imagine a criminal using that as an excuse to Garrus for the things he did. Thane doesn't really have any friends, so if F!Shepard isn't really hanging out with him and Garrus can look past the philosophical difference, Garrus could be Thane's only friend.

Zaeed: Nope
