Thanks for answering my question.

Buggirl, I agree with Chimervera about the Sentinel. It was a lot of fun in ME1 (I hardly ever had to use the pistol with all of those biotic and tech powers), and even more fun in ME2. It's probably the class with the widest range of battle styles. If you like Vanguard, go for Assault Armor and shotgun training in ME2. It's kind of like a Vanguard with tech powers instead of Charge.

I'd put Garrus a little younger than 27 in ME1 because of how the devs said he was "young and brash."

Nah its basically a role playing forum. Make up your own character in the mass effect universe and go crazy. I got silentstephi to join the forums playing as a female turian. And yeah its very addicting.Rebe70 wrote...

In the middle of a ME2 playthrough and I just found a little snippet of Garrus dialog I had never heard before. It's fairly insignificant, but I thought I might drop by and mention it. If you let the sick batarian in Mordin's recruitment mission die than Garrus says "Poor bastard. Never thought I'd say that about a batarian." I thought it was kinda interesting.

Garrus doesn't have a very high opinion of batarians either, does he? xD That batarian is actually really nice if you save him, and says that he might have been wrong about humans. Most of them just seem to give Shepard a lot of reason to hate them though. I have one Shepard who would think that Garrus even having a batarian on his squad is like a betrayal. If only he and Saren could have a conversation... he's like Saren fifteen years younger. He's also my Well Intentioned Extremist.

Yea, I am currently doing a run with my "hates batarians' guts colonist Shepard." I can never figure out what to do with her there. One the one hand she hates them and wants them dead. On the other, that guy just went on a rant about horrible humans are and she thinks humans are better than batarians. Sometimes she cures him just so she can say "this proves we're better than you. I hate you and I healed you anyway." This is actually one of the few times I let the guy die and happened to have Garrus with me so I got that dialog. Made her feel a little guilty. Probably not guilty enough not to kill those batarians with Daniel though. Anyway, I'm off to play some more so I'll probably be scarce for a while. Just a few periodic drop-ins here and there to see how things are doing.

Where is it officially stated that turians have lifespans comparable to those of humans? Is it on the Wiki? (sorry, having an attack of laziness here)
A dev on the old boards said this. Yes, it's on the wiki, you lazy KG. (w00t, I'm rhyming)
Does this mean you're going back to being the Limerick Master?

My Colonist War Hero healed him to get information only. Colonist Sole Survivor doesn't need the information that badly. The only reason Colonist Ruthless doesn't want to kill him herself is because the plague is more painful. xD
I still have to decide what my current MaleShep will do. He doesn't have much reason to hate them except by reputation, but he probably thinks they're not worth the medi-gel. In that case, I should get to hear Garrus' comment in... three or four months. >_>; If the poor guy ever makes it to ME2, that is.

I've got a ways to go before I do that mission, but I know I am definitely taking Garrus to hear his comments.

Does Garrus make any comments if Shepard does save him? I can't remember.

Hi Garrus thread, I haven't been here in a long time (and back then I was more of a lurker anyway) and I just wanted to say that the OP is amazing, especially the Turian Tattoo database, that looks like it would've taken a lot of effort. Keep up the good work!

I always give that batarian the medi-gel. I'm such a nice person.
The extra dialogue you get at the end if you sent Mordin's assistants after him is well worth it. Bit of a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, really.
I also can't let the wheezy salarian in Thane's RM die. So if, by chance, a decision in ME3 comes along where it's either Shepard's happiness or that of the galaxy as a whole...screw you, Shepard. That's how weak a person I am.

Nope. Only if you let him die. And I guess I'll do a catch up post here since I just got done reading what I had missed the last few days.
On chirality: From what Pacifen, my sis, and other smart folks have told me it seems that allergy stuff would just be over proteins. So it makes sense a turian could eat donuts as I don't think donuts really have many proteins to speak of in them. They could probably eat various human vegetables and bread products as well. Though as they appear carnivorous to me I'd still hazard their bodies are designed to run principally on proteins so stuff that is mostly carbs and starch wouldn't do it for them nutritionally. That's my guess anyway. Also explains why they should be cautious with nuts as nuts have high protein in them. Paci or smart science people feel free to correct me if I just said something stupid.
On turian leg spurs: My favorite design idea is that they are only on male turians like a rooster's spurs. I also think they are somewhat flexible. Somewhere in between the flexibility of your nose and solid bone. I don't think they are sharp or used as weapons. One explanation I have seen is that they are a sort of adaprted dewclaw used for balance. I do think turians have a dewclaw as otherwise they only have two digits on their feet and three on their hands which seems kind of odd. I am not completely convinced the spur is an adapted dewclaw, however, but I admit the the only reason I think that is a design one. I like the idea of female turians not having them, but if they were for balance it wouldn't make sense for the females not to have them. I think somebody (can't recall who) on the thread way back when mentioned making a gargoyle costume for a convention of some kind. That costume walked on tip-toes and the person had issues balancing, but she/he added something like leg spurs on the back and it helped tremendously. That's why they proposed they might be for balance and that explanation seemed plausible enough to me. If only male turians have spurs, it could be a display designed to impress females. That is pretty common with birds and reptiles that the males have brighter plumage, a fancy crest, a throat pouch they can flare or whatever. It serves no biological purpose whatsoever except that females think it is sexy and will be more likely to mate with a male that has a good specimen. And no, that wasn't supposed to be an innuendo at all.
Anyway, it could be some leftover biological thing like that. And if that is case and given my previously mentioned thing for leg spurs, than it is certainly working on at least one female.

I don't think so. That's more a DA thing to me. I don't think we will ever see something like "save your LI or save the galaxy" in ME. I don't think it would match.
