You think that's bad? I dumped him on accident once.  I thought I'd be telling him, "No matter what happens, you're still my best friend."  What actually came out of Shep's mouth was, "Maybe we're better off as just friends."


Keener sounded like I shot his dog.

 

That's probably just as bad as Zev calling you "my love" when you dump him...

Still, I don't think anything can be worse than dumping Jack during the O4 sequence...That's gotta be the worst breakup of ME2.

But yeah, putting the "just friends" option as a top-right choice is a sneaky, sneaky move. I'm sure lots of people have broken up with their LIs by accident like that.

Yeah.  That is an odd move.  I wonder if it was on purpose or by accident.
I want to learn more about the character and sticking to the friends only options doesn't give you much.  But I just can't stand having a femShep cheat on Kaidan either.  But Garrus is her best friend.  She wouldn't want to hurt him either.

Yeah, I have one "Cheating" Shep and well, she's infamous.   Garrus will also have his own Shep.  And Kaidan has his own Shep.

And then... I'll play ME1 through again with both Meghan and Avery because I miss their beginnings.

The solution: making a single FemShep just for Garrus!

At least, that's what I did. That way, my KaidanShep can remain cheat-free, and my GarrusShep can have her own fun

problem is that we're learning more about the whole metrics for ME2 (data mining).  And we've been told that Kaidan is already at the bottom--well, duh!  He can't really be romanced in ME2.  So we've speculated that only by refraining from romancing anyone else does he get a 'vote."  I'm not going to further mess up his stats at this point.  When we're closer to ME3 I'll play through the romances completely for Garrus and Thane.

But I like my Shepard feeling a close friendship with Garrus--one of the few that stands by her and doesn't dump on her for her position in ME2.  He's her best friend.

[Sialater]

Well, Bioware can't see the account I play with since it's on my Xbox and not the one I go online with. And Meghan made her decision before I moved from the DA:O boards over here. I don't count for or against anyone. Unless Microsoft is hacking ALL accounts?



It really bugs me that JACOB of all characters is more popular than staying celibate. And that data won't tell them that we want more friendship dialogue with Garrus either.

Ooh.  Where did BioWare say this?

[Collider]

Yea, I'd like to know too.

[Pacifien]

I highly doubt the developers are going to be making any decisions based on data mining the players' decisions for ME2. The choices are flagged. They're interesting to look at. But no one should be using such methods to write their games, and I would think Bioware would be one of the last game development companies to think that is even remotely a good idea.

[Sialater]

Jade wrote a letter to one of them. It's posted on the KAAS.

[Collider]

From Kaas: the person who responded to Jade's letter said (paraphrased): Kaidan is the least romanced character, but all romance interests are of equal importance to bioware.

I disagree a bit, here.  If you have to make a decision as to what content to cut due to a time/resources shortage, one of the factors you'd naturally take into account is which content is the post popular.  That doesn't mean there aren't other factors coming into play, or that the story is being written solely based on what's popular.  That would indeed be dumb.

I doubt Kaidan will get the shaft in ME3 just because there was next to zero data to collect on him in ME2.  That sounds to me like a rumor born of worry and not founded in fact.  I want to see where anyone from BioWare said that Kaidan (or any ME1 LI) was at the bottom of any popularity list that they are using as a basis for storyline.

Ok.  So if that's the case, then Kaidan's being the least romanced character doesn't matter, and people need to quit worrying that he'll somehow get knocked out of ME3. 

ETA:  Can't believe I typoed Kaidan's name.

I'm actually more worried they'll continue cloning Ashely for him.

But I'm really worried about how the possibility Garrus' death will effect his being in ME3.

[Collider]

Garrus (along with the other ME2 squad mates) can't be vital to the plot - that much is certain. However I am rather confident that he'll return and as a squad mate.

Hurr.  How would Garrus' death affect Kaidan?  You mean like, only if Garrus bites it in ME2 does Kaidan become a squadmate in ME3?

I'm still confused.  If he dies in ME2, then he won't be in ME3 for those that import that PT.  Any squadmate can die in ME2, so Garrus shouldn't be affected any more than other squadmates.

Or are you worried that he'll die in ME3 for some reason?  I guess that's a possibility, but there'd probably be some way around that, too.  This isn't Dragon Age, where the writers delight in screwing you over no matter what you do.  Casey Hudson said that ME3 would be more "light hearted."

I think this is more in the way of fearing that Garrus won't be a squad mate in ME3 or in some way downplayed/sidelined because he can possibly die in ME2 - fear that because of that Bioware is not going to committ enough resources to bringing Garrus back, since not everyone is going to have him alive when they import their game into ME3.  Same goes for every other ME2 squad mate.

[ciaweth]

Yeah, practically everyone can die in ME2. Tali can die in ME2. I, uh, seriously doubt they'll sideline her just because of that possibility. Same with Garrus.

[Collider]

I agree.

[Jade5233]

I'd like most of the ME1 characters to come back as squadmates in ME3.
Kaidan or Ash (VS)
Tali
Garrus
Liara I would like to at least be on the ship to interact with, but since I play an Adept or Sentinel, I don't usually take her along anyways.
Wrex--I really like that he's in charge of his planet and consolidating the Krogan.  I'd like him to continue that work.
But the VS if a current or former romance of Shepard belongs on the squad with Shepard.
Tali and Garrus--I think that the devs are quite aware of their popularity since it bought both of them romance status in ME2 that wasn't originally planned.  Even though they can be killed in ME2, I doubt that many allowed them to be killed off--likely the players would have put them in protected positions so they would continue on in the next game.  I know I did.  They are Shepard's best friends!  I can't see the devs not making each them a big part of ME3 with or without the romance portion.
As for the new ME2 characters?  I don't really care if they are squad members.  I just want the above 3

[Hazzel42]

I just couldn't bear to miss out on any options for ME3 so after my first play through losing Jack and the crew, I had play through again and keep everyone including the crew alive.

[Hazzel42]

Whatever happens in ME3 Garrus, Tali and Mordin will be my faves.



I do kind of hope they don't add too many more main characters since there are some pretty good ones already in play. I'd be happiest to see an amalgam of ME1 and ME2 NPCs to help you go after the big bad reapers - that way you get the best of both earlier games and a real sense of continuation.

[Kularexcal]

Hey Garrus lovers, I have a new poll on demographics of Garrus romance I would appreciate if you voted in. Thanks.

I have present for my Garrus friends. (Not that I made it. Just found it.) 'Cause, CUTE! Hope you like. ^_~

[Andaius20]

Widow for Garrus? I'm up for that! Tali To learn the tech powers she had in ME 1 would be great! Sabotage, and Damping? Hails yeah! Zaeed gets a Revvy or Gets Jessie repaired! JAcob gets Biotic charge so he can be a "proper ME 2 Vanguard". Really I would like everyone to have more abilities like they did in ME 1.



Also *wistles innocently* I got Garrus new armor and a new paint job for that armor....



And I got him some new "firepower":



Let him use my scar fixin' machine:
