Ugh, made the mistake of dropping by that thread regarding whether or not anyone hates Garrus. Ever notice it's almost always a Liara lover who does?

Anyway, good to be back in friendly waters.

I have noticed this. Obviously asari and turians are at very opposite ends of the spectrum of aesthetics. Asari are soft, supple, female in appearance and typically have an overtly feminine demeanor. Turians are hard, sharp, male in appearance (since we don't see any females) and typically have an overtly masculine demeanor. Obviously there are a lot of people that like both, but I think it makes sense why they'd be polarizing, since the two races are pretty much polar opposites.

I'm one of those turian fans that also happens to really dislike asari, but I'm not sure how connected that is since I like pretty much every other race but asari. I agree with everything Neria Rose said about the asari, except I don't actually hate Liara, I just found her boring. I just hate that they made a point to call them 'non-gendered' but then made no effort to make them androgynous. It seemed like an obvious excuse for the typical male lesbian fantasy.

That said, Samara really grew on me. I respected the fact that (despite dressing like a ****) she did actually refrain from using her sexuality to get what she wanted.. Maybe because she didn't have a lot of screentime.

But yeah. Anyhoo, back to turians, I like them but I'm not 'YAY IT'S A TURIAN!' whenever one is on-screen. I think most of them are interesting but Garrus and Nihlus are the only ones where I really gush over how cool they are.

Honestly I'm not even that into quarians but I was all, 'Ooooo, quarians!' whenever one showed up since there was just Tali in ME1. I just like it when the 'lesser' races have more exposure considering how many humans, asari and krogan we see running around. That said, Palaven for ME3!

EDIT: Ack! I hate it when I'm typing a response and fail to notice a subject change. Sorry guys, I fail. ._.;;;

Er, so to bring the subject squarely back onto turian-related things.. I'm not sure if we had any of these?

[Mr.BlazenGlazen]

Kick.



Ass.

[ciaweth]

I want to see all the major species homeworlds. But yeah, Palaven, definitely.

[Giggles_Manically]

If the choice was between shirtless garrus or turian females in part three which would yall chose?

Definitely shirtless Garrus. I'm curious about Turian females for sure, but I'm waaaay more curious about what Garrus has under that armor <3.

[ThatDancingTurian]

For some reason I assume Palaven is a warm-toned planet from the higher temperature and radiation and such, but I know that line of reasoning makes no sense. ::clears throat awkwardly:: It could be ice blue there for all we know, right? Just a really hot ice blue. xD



@Giggles_Manically: Ack! I couldn't choose. I really would be happy with either in ME3, let me put it that way. Although shirtless Garrus might imply a more substantial romance scene for us Garrus romancers, so... >_>

[kglaser]

It really is impossible to choose. Can't I have you both?

/Renegade +2!!

How about shirtless Garrus causing nearby turian female to swoon and me smiling knowing that she can't have him? Will that work?

Possibly.

I wish in part two when all the bloody asari where throwing themselves at my femshep, that Garrus would have done something.

Other than just stand there and be awsome that is.

[kglaser]

That works Raga.

But aren't turians very private and don't take their armor/clothing off in public? If we did get a shirtless Garrus, I kind of would like it to be just for Shepard. Unless of course they were captured and he was forced to go shirtless like in KoTOR (or was it KoTOR 2?) when everyone was stripped to their underwear. >_>  That could be awkward fun.

@Giggles: I think Garrus was just standing there chuckling since he knows better.

Shepard: ::looking irritated as an asari drapes herself all over her:: Laugh it up, Garrus...

I haven't seen any reference to this in the game--is there a BioWare source for this detail?  I know it's common in fic, but that don't make it canon.

[ThatDancingTurian]

Okay, I covered my bases as far as color goes. >_>



















PS: What the heck... Tinypic kept giving me crazy special characters in their captcha.

EDIT: Is it not canon? I thought it was but I could have gotten confused after months of conjecture and speculation. Sorry, ;

Oooh, purty, Aris!

[ciaweth]

Ah, I'd forgotten about that Grunt quote. It's funny because we see turians in regular clothing all over the place in places like the Citadel.

[Kim Shepard]

Awesome banners. I might actually get around to changing my signature... it's too bad only two regular-sized banners there. Also, Palaven is supposed to be similar to Virmire, so I guess green/blue would be most accurate.

Shirtless Garrus would mean we get to know more about turian appearances for sure. Female turians in-game would mean the same thing. If the female turian is a squadmate and possible romance option for MaleShep, I would actually choose that because it means more squadmates, more options, and more game content for my Shepards. I liked Garrus' romance scene in ME2 the way it was. In my opinion, the best and most emotional romance scenes were the ones that showed the least amount of skin. That might be a coincidence, and it might not. If they can do both in ME3, go for it - but if I had to choose one, it would be emotional by far.

Garrus probably thinks that Shepard can handle unwanted flirting herself. Unfortunately, the game doesn't let us handle it. >_>; There need to be more Renegade interrupts and "back off" options.

[kglaser]

I definitely support more "back off" options! Whatever happened to personal space? (I'm looking at YOU, Sha'ira!!)

Oh, I didn't mean I wanted to change ME2's, I just mean since we had the emotional, touching type in ME2, they could push the envelope farther in ME3 what with it being the last we'll ever see of them (Am I the only one getting depressed already? ).

Obviously skin isn't my biggest priority, but while we're wishing, I tend to be of the 'I want more of everything' opinion. My wanting one thing doesn't mean I want them to compromise on another. ;D

I totally agree! Aria rocks!



I'm writing my Shepard's verison of ME2. Heehee I just wrote in Garrus and my Female Shepard tapping fists like Brofist! To show their friendship YAY!! This is my first time writing Garrus so I hope I get him right >.< (Right now, I'm writing the destruction of the Normandy. Garrus is going to show up again XDDDD

Yeah, this. xD My Shepards want their personal space without avoiding side missions. Even for people who don't get frustrated with it like I would, it's very immersion-breaking when a Shepard who wouldn't be interested just stands there and takes it. The only sidequest I haven't done in ME2 (I played it, just didn't save it) was the one with Shiala, because there's no way MainShep would just smile while she flirts. And the thing is... it seems like Shepard can only respond to unwelcome flirting from guys. When it's a woman, Shepard says nothing. MainShep would respond the same way (disgusted and angry) to both.

On topic - more turian flirting! Just include "back off" options for everyone. No double standards.

@Aris: I know you weren't saying "more of one and less of the other." I was just pointing out that it normally seems to be one or the other with the romances scenes. Like I said - if they can do both, go for it. I trust BioWare to make the Garrus romance in ME3 awesome.
