Eeehhh... I think I prefer to not think about things like that JulianP.

Sorry!    It's just that... having just discovered the world of fanfiction and being unable to unread certain things, it starts to seem kind of ridiculous how many assumptions writers make which just *happen* to be convenient for human anatomy (and thus, human fantasy)... I can't help but sense a huge opportunity for mischief! :innocent:  Shutting up now.

This is the Distress Call trailer.

"Many decisions lie ahead...none of them easy."

Garrus' only prerendered appearance, and it's so blurry and short.

This is why I don't betray him =(

Poor Lorik! D: He sounds so sad... I wouldn't betray him either. Even with a Renegade Shepard, there isn't much of a reason for it. I think the most Paragon option is convincing him to testify anyway, so giving him the evidence to keep is probably "neutral." I think most of my Shepards will side with him because he's the one who helps out right away, and handing over the evidence to Parasini is a form of betrayal too, just not as bad as giving it to Anoleis. I did that once by accident during one of my early playthroughs, but I'll eventually correct it with a NG+.

I have a question for you guys. Is it possible to have Shepard get the evidence for Lorik, tell Anoleis about Parasini being an undercover agent so they both kill each other, and then give Lorik his evidence? I'd like my Renegade Adept MaleShep to do that.

Garrus should have his own unique Sniper Rifle in the game. Like Legion. Or maybe a unique AR.

I usually give Garrus the Widow Sniper rifle (like his lithograph artwork). It looks cool on Garrus.

GUIS.  I was going nutso trying to figure out why Nassana Dantius wouldn't talk to me...but it turned out I got her quest, but in reverse!  I killed Dahlia (her sister) as part of the Mercenary quest I'd already somehow gotten, and then it said I had to go talk to her.  Did this happen to anyone else?  Never happened to me in 3 PT...weird.

And more on-topic...I decided to put my Infiltrator sniping skills more to the test in ME1 this time 'round, so I did that quest and the one with Haliat from a distance instead of getting up close and personal to kill all those mercs.  And Garrus stole 2 of my kills!  Well, my hands are not too steady, so I don't blame him getting sick of me to aim for all those seconds.

That happened on my first playthrough (I was a perfectionist at that time) and it was interesting though. I kind of missed that in ME2 where you can't do a quest in reverse. Which is why I don't trust Nassana from first impressions.

Anyway, Garrus-related:

AAAGH! Garrus Sheploo!! XD

[Alexine]

Yeah, I made this because Garrus has no more dialogue for ManShep, unless I decide to swap models for a FemShep. But sadly, that's already been done.

[kglaser]

Even if we were to get 1 or 2 more lines of dialogue for Garrus from somewhere, I think we would be talking about it for weeks. LOL

I finished my dudeshep PT last night and somehow one of my savefiles is corrupt. when I went around to talk to the crew after the SM, I got weird dialogues from Jack, Jacob and Miranda. All three acted like it had been right after their loyalty missions and right after telling me that they think blowing the collector base to dust was the right decision, they thank me for helping with their personal missions. WTH? I never had that before. Jack didn't even give me post SM dialogue, she just jumped at me telling me how she needed to wipe Praggia off the map. O.O Has this ever happened to any of you before? It feels now like I can drop the Tali romance and start romancing the other two ladies all over again although I've dumped them already before. This feels so weird on so many levels....

Indeed! It's what we do and if we can't, we dig around for whatever information we can find.... Resourceful, smitten and a tad crazy, all because of Garrus (and dat voice- thanks Brandon!)

I just saw a recent post about the Turian Councillor over on the  RPG.net  forums by member "Stephenls" (interestingly, under a "Lair of the Shadow Broker" thread) that I thought was nicely put:

I see I remain alone in liking the Turian councilor.

Every other politician you meet throughout both games butters you up or condescends to you. The Illusive Man in particular does his whole song and dance where he goes out of his way to talk about how he supports every decision you make, even when it's blowing up Cerberus facilities or sending Cerberus assets to alliance medical facilities. Then at the end of the game he orders Miranda to kill you if you don't give him the base.

The Turian councilor thinks you're full of ****, and he tells you flat out that he thinks you're full of **** the first time he meets you. He then proceeds to continue to tell you he thinks you're full of **** every single time you interact with him. He never gives you a break.

He also never actually acts to obstruct you in any way.

I find him refreshing. I'd rather deal with him than the Illusive Man any day.

That's actually a pretty good point, I think.  Turian Councillor is growing on me.  He's antagonistic and critical, but perhaps also frank enough not to be a backstabbing sort like TIM or Udina.  I'm not entirely convinced that the Turian Councillor *actually* believes we're just full of ****, but he certainly doesn't just buy our story, either.  Fascinating fellow.  Would definitely take his attitude over TIM's conniving any day.

I don't hate the turian councillor either. The things he says to Shepard are more funny than annoying, I guess... although, the first time I played ME2 and saw his airquotes, my thoughts were a mix of "oh no you didn't" and "my Shepard just saved your life!" xD I hope Shepard gets to return the favor with airquotes in ME3.

One of my Shepards would get really angry about his claims being dismissed, but the Council will be dead on his playthrough anyway.

I read that some quests could be done in reverse. I wonder if that means there should be no problem getting the quest from her before Therum then. So are you going to ignore this one and not replay because of some asari? xD They like to mess up our playthroughs.

And more on-topic...I decided to put my Infiltrator sniping skills more to the test in ME1 this time 'round, so I did that quest and the one with Haliat from a distance instead of getting up close and personal to kill all those mercs.  And Garrus stole 2 of my kills!  Well, my hands are not too steady, so I don't blame him getting sick of me to aim for all those seconds.

The one time I tried out sniper rifles, it was with a Shepard who wasn't trained for them because I didn't know the combat system yet, but it was complete fail. I had no idea where I was shooting because I couldn't see the red target thing that tells me where the bullets will go... I'd like to think that was partly because it's harder for a Shepard not trained in sniper rifles to use them, but I'm not sure if that's how it works. It would make the fail seem less bad though. 

The squadmates steal kills a lot. xD I'm the same way with pausing and aiming. The "point your controller at the screen and shoot" games are so much easier.

[J4N3_M3]

I like the turian councillor xD he's such a badass politician, I want to do dirty things to him....did I just say that out loud? O.O anyway, compared to Udina he's just plain pure awesomeness! And I prefer blunt people who tell me they hate me over those who kiss my ass for no particular reason any time. it's that simple!

besides, I have this idea in my head that the councillor has a secret fetish for women who kick asses and don't back off or run away crying only because he's rude to them. I imagine him getting a kick out of treating FemShep like that and her snappy reactions .... :innocent:

Yes! I love the turian councilor now too! He is just so badass with his airquotes and his critical nature with Shepard. I used to hate so much! XDD For a joke because I hated so much that everytime his face will be on a close up shot when Shepard is made a Spectre, I would imagine a bullet hole going through his head XDDD I still imagine that for laughs. Man! I just hated so much but I adore him XDDDD



Hate him so much I love him XDDD



So YAY to him! XD

[lovgreno]

The turian councilour takes crap from nobody. No one messes with him. He doesn't have to be polite to smartass humans. I suspect the writers wanted us to hate him but I just like him more and more.

I don't like him but I also do not dislike him. I think he's a bit of jerk towards humasns but at least he stands for what he believes in, even though that does stand in the way of fighting the Reapers.

[ReiSilver]

oh man I LOVE the Turian councillor and how you just cannot do any right by him. You killed the rachni? Way to go you genocidal maniac. You let the Rachni queen live? Way to go, I look forward to Rachni Wars part II.

I can't even say why I like him so much, his hate of Shepard makes me laugh every time, now when I see his air quotes I think they're adorable. But then I love all three of the Alien council. I really want more of him and the other two in ME3

Haha, the first playthrough I think I actually went and reloaded making the opposite choice just to see if I could make him happy... no, he's determined to find fault!  What a talent for seeing the drawbacks of any situation!

Unlike some of the other weapons, sniper rifles are practically useless unless you put points in the skill.  Once you max it out and get a decent weapon and upgrades, though, it's awesome.  I was so addicted to it that I used it for practically everything that I possibly could, even close-quarters no-scope stuff.  (My infiltrator didn't have shotgun skill.  Would probably have preferred playing sentinel, but I had to have the sniper... ).  I coup-de-graced absolutely everything outside the Mako for the extra XP and sniped out all the pirate bands from those convenient hills on the UNCs.  At long distances, it's also easier to dodge rockets!  Only downside was that when shooting long distance, you don't get close enough to use powers and teammates without snipers get kind of useless.   

I. love. this. rifle.

So, I had a Garrus dream last night!  Didn't think I was that obsessed... time to admit it, I guess.

Dreams are pretty irrational things, so I'm not even sure what was going on.  Apparently, we were all sort of hanging out in some nice comfortable cabin in the woods and got surrounded or ambushed or something.  Miranda, Jacob, and Wrex had gone ahead to punch through the cordon or something while Garrus, Thane, and Mordin worked as a sniper team supporting them.  (Mordin, of course, being a non-sniper, was spotter).  Then I (as femShep, I guess) was like, "Oh no!  I didn't say goodbye to Garrus!  Garrus doesn't even know I *like* him!"  (Apparently, in my nonsensical dream logic, this was pre-romance Garrus?)   All I had of Garrus was a small bit of fabric from some outfit of his.  Things got bad, and we were all convinced that the teams had gotten slaughtered or something.  I spent some time agonizing over which would be worse: being alive while everyone else was dead, or getting killed, too.  Very nervous about the battle (clearly a reflection of my real-life frustration about various things.)  We fought our way out, and happily, all was well and we were reunited with both teams.  But Shepard never got a chance to talk to Garrus. 

Random, huh?
