Suddenly I have an image of Thane and Garrus in a scarlet wallpapered Victorian style living room sitting in matching wingback chairs, sipping brandy and discussing their latest assignments a la Sherlock Holmes :-P

I so wish I could draw right now!

I think both Garrus and Thane could make a good victorian gentleman stereotype.

This has probably been brought up before, but due to their fringes, there is no way a turian could possible lay flat on his or her back comfortably. Their entire race either sleeps on their side or stomach.

I, like many others I'm sure, noticed this in the Garrus/Shepard cuddle scene.

Their fringes probably can bend so they could lay flat on the bed.

[Kim Shepard]

Yeah, I've noticed that about the Garrus cuddle scene. His fringe goes right through the pillow. I could see Garrus and most turians sleeping with the side of his face on a pillow, but I haven't figured out how the same would work for Saren with his side-fringe. Maybe he sleeps sitting up.

I don't think the fringes are that flexible. They probably have the similar movement to some of their faceplates - a little, but not much.

I always thought it was kind of weird that Purgatory was run by the Blue Suns. To me that made the whole operation fishy like it was never supposed to be anything but a way to make money. Why would a former cop join a merc group to try to make a difference? I never got that. I'm reasonably suspicious that Kuril never even had noble intentions. I really think a lot of what he says is just hot air for the PR department. Maybe he has said it enough that he himself started believing it, but I always thought Kuril is pretty much the nastiest turian we have met so far except maybe Joram Talid. Even Saren has some redeeming qualities, but to me those two are mustache twirlers.

Interesting theory about Kuril. I must have missed something about Joram Talid though. Is he the anti-human politician from Thane's loyalty mission?

Saren's way of dealing with criminals is actually the opposite of Kuril. Kuril keeps them in prison and then sells them off to whoever pays the most for them. Saren would just kill them, like he says in Revelation, "Some Spectres arrest people. I don't."

[Bugsie]

Yes Joram is the anti-human turian politician who Kolyat was contracted to take out.

Also - Kim did you see this:



Aricle posted it over in Clan V, but I thought - hey shouldn't we be discussing Saren's status here?

What did Talid do that makes him one of the worst turians? I totally missed it.

Yeah, but it's just someone roleplaying Saren. xD On that topic though, I think the "real" Saren is probably the same as Garrus about relationships, too busy with his work, has some fun every now and then but nothing serious. I got the feeling that his normal day-to-day life was just like it was in Revelation - spends most of his time on missions, hardly sleeps at all, no idea when he eats, etc. MainShep wouldn't have a problem with it, since she has family and friends like that so she grew up around that sort of mindset, but a lot of people might not be too happy about never getting to see him.

What!! A false Saren! This is an Outrage!!



I can't imagine Saren being interested in having a family, unless it plays some role in him furthering himself within the turian heirachy.



I think it was just that he was anti-human and actually was bullying human shopkeepers in the wards for protection money using his krogan bodyguards, so not a nice person really.

Talid was an upcoming politician. And his anti-human outlooks were extreme.

On the other hand, Elias Kelham, the crime boss who hired Kolyat to kill Talid, wasn't much of an alien fan either if I look at some of the video footage from LotSB.

Yeah that poor turian he ran over. Made me happy I punched him every opportunity I was given in Thanes mission, Scumbag.

Yeah, I think the game of Good Cop/Bad Cop between Thane and Shepard is definitely one of the more memorable points of the game.

Even on Paragon playthroughs I give into temptation and play Bad Cop... D:

I'd imagine they use a neck roll type of pillow if they want to sleep on their backs, or perhaps something like the props that some of the Chinese or Japanese ladies used to use to keep their lackered hairdos from getting mashed while they slept.

I like the idea of a Garrus/Thane friendship, I think it's an unusual pairing but I think it would work (well my inner fangirl WANTS it to work).

I think it could totally work.  They both respect competence, and are both highly competent.  The trick for me is that I don't see them becoming friends over some long heart-to-heart, but rather by going and doing stuff together and not talking.  Missions, probably.  With sniper rifles.

I can see that Garrus respects his skill after all of his fanboyism during Thane's recruitment, but I'd say that the fact that he's an assassin (a precise merc, as Jacob put it) would be a bigger issue for Garrus than being a Cerberus agent. Besides turians are very big on personal responsibility and that's kind of at odds with the whole soul/body dichotomy in Thane's philosophy. Imagine if Sidonis had that view, he'd have said that the mercs used his body as a gun and thus he felt no guilt. I don't think Garrus would react kindly to that.
They are just polar opposites in many ways.

[Eradyn]

I do think Garrus has enough self-confidence that he can acknowledge another's skill without feeling threatened in some way. But you're right, Liec; Thane's personal philosophy could be at odds with Garrus' own. Not to say they wouldn't be able to work together on a professional level, because they prove they can, but on a personal level? I just can't see them going out for some drinks at the local pub.

[Eradyn]

That Garrus does, mrsph. ^^ I hope in ME3 the devs will consider having squad and crewmembers moving around the ship as if they're on their own personal schedules...this would provide an excellent opportunity for inter-squad banter "springing up" as you make your rounds through the Normandy.

Yeah I agree. Some how with everything he's been through in ME1, Shepard's death and then Omega Garrus saying "I'll be here if you need me" holds so much more weight. It feels like he really would follow Shepard through hell and beyond if asked (at least to me).

Being a nice guy, I think Garrus would follow Shep into hell without being asked.
