How about Morinth and Jacob Virmire.

I mini Virmired Morinth, fed her to the Swarm on the Long Walk. See, Jacob actually does have some uses!

I'm a Brit, and I want my happy ending(s) too! (Possibly minus the ponies. Bad google search flashback.)

Cerr- the Al picture is so funny... that poor guy. I make him do the deed every time for my CElf. I want my marginally happy ending that's going to bite me in the butt someday.



Bug, it's Nihlus! A pretty damn good render of him too. XD

Darth, not afraid per say. I was actually able to warm up to the ice queen my second time through. It's fun to tell her to STFU and deal. XD Then shower her with shiny things...

Otherwise, things are going good.

Archive of 3.0 updated.

Working on pgs 500 to 600 today. XD

Hello beautiful Garrus thread!



I have been on the road a lot this past month, it's good to be back.



...Nihlus is a lovely welcome back for me I really hope someday they do some more expanded universe stuff with him, the way we got more Saren in the first novel.

I've done a few "tell me what you think about the character" runs around the forum this morning, but I'm actually having trouble coming up with a few different questions about Garrus. I got as far as...

1) Is Garrus an only child?
2) Destined for fatherhood or too busy saving the galaxy to settle down?
3) Enjoys the rain?
4) Do you think he grumbled as much as the Krogan mechanic on Tuchanka while he was working on the Mako in ME1?
5) Do you think he's got a sniper rifle akin to Zaeed's Jessie? Maybe not as extreme, but a personal favorite?

Hey Warlord! Welcome back! Make sure you join our Clan V group.

1) Is Garrus an only child?
     I think if he does have a sibling, they're ages are pretty far apart. Like a difference of 7 or more years from each other.

2) Destined for fatherhood or too busy saving the galaxy to settle down?
     I don't think he'd have children unless he knew he'd be there for them. Otherwise, he'd become his father. Though people do that, they swear they will do better than their parents only to discover to their horror that they've become their parents.

3) Enjoys the rain?
     I bet he enjoys the novelty of it, staying most of his life in space these days.

4) Do you think he grumbled as much as the Krogan mechanic on Tuchanka while he was working on the Mako in ME1?
     I bet he did and everyone but Shepard knew about it.

5) Do you think he's got a sniper rifle akin to Zaeed's Jessie? Maybe not as extreme, but a personal favorite?
     Yes. He calls her Luscious Liz. Bonus points if anyone knows where that name came from without using Google.

[Cerrydd]

Haha, some funny questions XD

Pacifien wrote...

1) Is Garrus an only child?

We don't hear anything about siblings... but the way he keeps moaning when things don't go his way, reminds me of an only child. (no offense to people here who are an only child... I just see this a lot )

2) Destined for fatherhood or too busy saving the galaxy to settle down?

I haven't had the chance yet to discuss MUTANT BABIES/adoption with him, but until now... no, not really a father. He's always busy. Either with calibrations or with fighting injustice. (though I can vaguely imagine him raising a son to be just like him... XD)

3) Enjoys the rain?

Palaven is hot. Maybe some rain is very welcome there. On other planets I'm not so sure.

4) Do you think he grumbled as much as the Krogan mechanic on Tuchanka while he was working on the Mako in ME1?

"Damn Shepard brought the Mako back without a combustion manifold... She can't drive for ****."

5) Do you think he's got a sniper rifle akin to Zaeed's Jessie? Maybe not as extreme, but a personal favorite?

He says "I love his rifle" with every sniper rifle I give him. Garrus doesn't do rifle discrimination.

Game mechanics aside, I think Garrus would actually have a personal sniper rifle he'd prefer to stick with. Everything perfect, everything just so, fits his talons like a glove.

1.  No idea.  His lack of mention of any doesn't really help--apart from the chat about his father, he seems to keep talk of family and other friends pretty close to his chest.  The only person he talks about at any length other than his dad was that recon scout.  Makes me think he's been kind of an amiable loner for a long time.

2.  Kinda depends what happens in ME3, I think, although I can see him being the favorite uncle of his teammates' kids.

3.  I think it would be hard for him to relax and really enjoy rain, unless prodded to do so.

4.  Not at first.  I can't imagine that kind of grumbling about one's job being well received in mainstream turian culture.  After he settled in, maybe he loosened up some, but I think it would be in a joking way, the way he jokes about going into the plague area on Omega.

5.  I think he's a serial rifle fondler, and proud of it.

He loved every rifle until now. It's just that he hasn't found his true love yet. One that's so perfect that it fits his talons like a glove (awesome!). BW, make it happen!

He probably was immensely jealous when Shepard got the Widow. Not only that Shepard got a better sniper rifle, but also because Shepard would fondle it with more love and care than she would Garrus. Yes, sorry Garrus, you might be together until the end of days, but you will have to live with the knowledge that Shepard loves the Widow more.

I'm kidding, of course.

Mostly.

[Cerrydd]

Well, then I guess it's a good thing I don't have the Widow. The only thing Garrus could be jealous of is the time I spend with the baby

[lovgreno]

The sollution is obvoius: Both Garrus and Shepard marries the Widow!

Not that anyone would think of a separation, but the custody battle would be the fiercest in history.

[WarlordFil]

1. Well, I'm writing Garrus as a middle child. Big family that he feels alienated from. He sees everyone else fitting in and wonders WTF is wrong with him, particularly as his father seems to pressure him more than the others. Anything else is spoilers for "Closer to Home".



I could also see a good argument made for only child, with the reason for Papa V's pressure being "only child to carry on my legacy."



2. Fatherhood? Maybe ten or twenty years in the future. Not now.



3. Rain? No idea, but it better be warm rain.



4. Grumbling on the mako? No. He likes working on the Mako. I actually imagined him wanting to be a mechanic/engineer for a while as a kid.



5. Special rifle - no, I don't think so, he will happily switch weapons. I think he's more attached to that visor, so much so that he doesn't even think to take it off when he comes visiting shep in his civvvy clothes. It's like a part of him.

What? It is a part of him! Someone gave him, like, a local anesthetic and drilled a hole in his head so they could attach the thing directly to his brain.

Okay, I don't actually believe that.

Yes, I do.

No, not really.

But I do.

Nah, I'm just kidding.

Or am I?

Actually, just think it's the developers being a bit lazy again. For instance, why is Kasumi in her ninja outfit while Shepard is in formal wear when they were both trying to enter Hock's party? I can see Hock denying Kasumi access simply because she looks like she's prepared to break into his vault.

1) Is Garrus an only child?


I'd say yes, there’s a lot of pressure put on him to be "just like his dad" and the focus could be explainable if he was an only kid. If his dad wanted a mini-me and like parents who expect their children to have the same beliefs and interests as them and then are angry and disappointed that they don't, then it would also explain the hostility.

2) Destined for fatherhood or too busy saving the galaxy to settle down?

No, no, no, a thousand times no. If Bioware mentioned babies or adopting or any of that during their romance in ME3 I would be very disappointed in them. It’s a boring cliché that the only way people can make a couple progress in their relationships is to have babies. Look at your typical sitcom, movie sequel, forms of propaganda, you name it, it has been done to DEATH. It’s not edgy, it’s not surprising, and it’s the lazy option most of the time,you don't create a universe full of endless possibilities and imagination just to do what every other source of media does anyway.

The other problem is that Shepard and Garrus have far more important things to think about and do, their lives are full of chaos and danger  and they are heroes first and foremost. I can't ever see them "settle down" as they hate injustice so much they aren't the type of people to just give up and do something else or do it half heartedly. I'd rather see them to continue their lives as a spectre couple; and have lots of adventures together; it suits them and their characters to do so. As I said, you can show progression without resorting to such an over-used cliché, and if it happens in ME3 it would feel out of place and bloody strange to hear Garrus and Shepard talk about kids, you think a renegade Shepard would say something like that???? Let alone neutral Shepard? Frankly I'd rather they say that they love each other and it end so people can write as much fan fiction as they want about it without making other players feel uncomfortable with their Shepard's talking about babies.  Sorry if I rambled 

3) Enjoys the rain?


He wouldn't admit it out loud but I think he would enjoy it, as palaveen is so hot I think he’d like the sensation of rain.


4) Do you think he grumbled as much as the Krogan mechanic on Tuchanka while he was working on the Mako in ME1?


Big time! All the times I crashed that Mako you bet he grumbled!


5) Do you think he's got a sniper rifle akin to Zaeed's Jessie? Maybe not as extreme, but a personal favorite?
He must view it as a “lucky rifle” and have a great fondness for it but does it have a name?  Maybe but Garrus wouldn’t tell anybody

I was wondering about the rain question. Garrus says Virmire reminds him of Palaven, yeah? Virmire was apparently based off of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. This makes me think of monsoons, rain, heat, and mugginess. Ugh. I mean, pretty. But ugh. I wonder if Garrus ever sat in an unconditioned room in the heat of summer with no windy relief in sight and just went "ugh."

Great, now I picture Garrus and Shepard fighting over the thermostat. Shepard: 23! Garrus: That's freezing!

Oh yes, I used metric. Take that you unscientific imperial heathens.

ETA: Oh yeah, and agree with Hyrule's rant about everything leading to children. That irritates.
