On Garrus finding asari/quarians or whatever attractive. I think it's entirely possible but it's probably idle. "Thinks so-and-so is attractive" and "wants to sleep with so-and-so" are way different things. I think LotSB Liara is gorgeous. I also think that random asari who is a greeter for the Consort is gorgeous. I can't take my eyes off them. Doesn't mean I want to jump them. As Garrus says he's never considered cross-species intercourse before, but that doesn't mean he hasn't eyeballed an asari here or there or idly wondered what a quarian looks like under a suit. (No, not Tali. Not what I mean.) And I think there is a good chance he did watch Fleet and Flotilla and like it. It's got turians in it for one and with the term "fleet" it makes it sound like it might actually have some fighting or something in it, and the more data we get, it's beginning to look like Garrus is a little more cheeseball than I thought. He likes techno. That's hilarious. And as for Vaenia, well Garrus is a guy...a guy not above telling racy stories for lulz with his best friends. Need I say more? Obviously this isn't evidence of anything, but I don't think it would be out of character for him to actually like those vids is my point.
Good point on the attractiveness, although Garrus finding an asari attractive is not quite the same thing as you finding an asari attractive, due to the gender difference. In your case, it's a case of "I want to be her/look at her" rather than "I want to be
with her " (
extremely simplified version of the attraction to someone of the same gender, but going into details would just make this impossibly long). If you wanted to make this a fair comparison, you'd have to either use the example of you finding a male alien attractive, or Garrus finding a male alien attractive.
That being said, it's not unrealistic that he may have considered a female alien with interest before, but a male finding a female attractive does have a much more obvious sexual component than a male finding a male attractive or a female finding a female attractive. Garrus specifically says he's never considered cross-species intercourse before, which is to say that he's never seriously contemplated sex with an alien female. So beyond the "oh, she looks kinda cool", no, I don't think he's ever had naked asari posters in his room or a Fornax under his pillow (well...unless it was a "special turian edition" Fornax). 'Course, he could still appreciate Fleet and Flotilla as a curiosity or for the fighting (I'm picturing it as a "doomed love in wartime" story). As for Vaenia...we know next to nothing about it, but it does sound like a chick flick. Telling racy stories with friends is one thing, but a guy watching a chick flick? Not very common (reminds me of that HUGE snore I heard in the cinema during the big romantic scene in
Emma 
) Don't think Garrus is quite
that cheesy.
Couple more random things. The fact that Garrus is so darn hard to kill in the SM makes me very happy. Hopefully that improves his chances of being in ME3.
And yet, I still can't wrap my head around why Thane has a higher HTL score.
And I feel conflicted about that pic as well. Garrus and femshep with kids? I just...I dunno. I mean adopted ones here. Mutant babies make me curl up in a fetal position and cry. I have seen a grand total of 1 fic that managed to pull off the adopted kids thing (The Hundred Year Distance) and that was because it just idly mentioned it as something that had happened in the past. You never actually saw the kids. It just talked about them a bit. But 95% of the time I think it is a bad idea. Something maybe mentioned in a text epilogue for a Shep who explicitly said they wanted that. That's the most I would ever be even somewhat okay with in game.
Agreed. Shep/Garrus doesn't rhyme with kids for me either. Although Shep/Tali could...but they'd have to be adopted, of course.
Dick head malesheps seem to be a trend around here. I don't have any dick head Sheps, but my dudeshep is way closer than any of my femsheps. Kinda weird. I have also noticed that a lot of guys seem to have renegade female characters and their dudeshep is more paragon. Why is that do you think?
Funnily enough, my MaleShep is the softie among my Sheps, even though they're all mostly Paragons. Although I'm guessing it's more typical to picture a male as a bastard, which would be why most people here have Renegade MaleSheps. Conversely, male gamers probably don't have that stereotype quite as much, which would be why their FemSheps are Renegades.
I've also heard quite a few people say that Hale does a better job as a Renegade, while Meer does a better job as a Paragon, line delivery-wise. Could also be a reason.
