I think so far, my Shepard who will lose the most squadmates is the one who will romance Jack. It'll be just like my current MaleShep (who will romance Tali), except Jacob will get killed off in the suicide mission too. The only other difference is their reasons - my current MaleShep does it because he's paranoid, and the other does it for revenge against Cerberus. They're both Sole Survivors. Actually, they're both Earthborn Sole Survivors. But the paranoid one is Neutral (Chaotic Neutral?) and the vengeful one is Renegade.

Tali is probably safe too... I mean, some of the Shepards don't exactly like her or agree with all of her opinions, but I don't think they would kill her off. Same with Thane. And Mordin is totally safe. The Shepards all love his "advice." xD

Steel, regarding your sig, Paragon Garrus headbumps Harkin and he didn't seem to enjoy it too much.

But really, didn't you notice all this tension between the two of them? What's that about?

Garrus headbutt needs to be made into a gif.

Yeh, I know.
But that reminded me of this Garrus fact: *Garrus Vakarian can impregnate women through headbumps alone.
Thus my need for brain bleach.

Yup, some serious UST right there.

 

This can't end well.

[Kim Shepard]

My Shepards Renegade Garrus, so he just shoots Harkin. No krogan/turian headbutt for him.

[Arhka]

I don't know, a headbutt is usually more badass than just shooting. Unless it's with a horribly oversized gun.

That's right. Turian bites abscess. Write that into your fanfic.

I'm sorry, I'm really far behind today, but I had to stop right there and grin at this post.  Well-done

As far as kissing... I look at it like Laurell K. Hamilton wrote about french kissing a vampire (her vamps don't have retractable fangs). Takes practice. The more I think about it, the more I think the two hours before the Omega 4 Relay just wasn't enough for Shep and Garrus (or even Thane) to figure out the logistics.

I completely agree.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  Not enough time!

and Jacob.

NOOOOOOOO!!

/shrugs
I don't mind the biting.
Buuuuuut to each their
own /whistles

Neither do I, although I can empathize with Pacifien's earlier comment that a cat bite hurts like a modefo.  Ouch!!

Speaking of which...

Taking the game as having a very simplistic design of a turian, I can
picture there being teeth on the front, just as sharp but perhaps not as
long as what we see on the sides. All the better rip something apart.
Gruesomely.

Like this, kinda?  Look at this cat's teeth between the canine fang teeth.  They are very short and small.

If the romance scene was paced a little quicker, then Garrus would knock FemShep off her feet.

And for my new randomness, I have this image of Garrus looking down at his finger with a very irritable and solemn look on his face. I present a story in emoticon.

Shepard: Garrus, what's wrong?
Garrus: I broke a nail. <_<
Shepard:
Garrus: How am I supposed to calibrate now?
Shepard: With you're fingers?
Garrus: It hurts, Shepard! 
Shepard: Oh it's just a nail, Garrus! Suck it up, soldier!
Garrus:
Shepard: I can kiss it and make it better.
Garrus:
Shepard:
Garrus:
Shepard: Now get back to work.
Garrus: But it still hurts! I think that last kiss was only temporary healing!

This is completely adorable. <3

In my MaleShep playthrough, he'll let the crew get killed off by waiting too long on purpose and get Miranda killed off. Jacob will be the only Cerberus agent to survive. (I was originally planning to bring Miranda to the Human Reaper battle, but thanks to the suicide mission guide and squadmate catching research, I think I came up with an idea that'll work better. )

Garrus will never die in my playthroughs. He's just so awesome, all of my Shepards have at least one reason to like him.

Neria Rose wrote...

I would, but the only squadmate (or former, for now, I suppose) I really want to kill isn't killable.

Would this former squadmate be... Liara? xD I'm glad she helped bring Shepard back to life and all, but she trapped my MaleShep in her romance, so I think he'd support this.

You got it!

I think the disconnect here in regards to the Harkin situation comes down to the fact that I don't view it as torture.  Torture is disturbing (and possibly involves nipple clamps) but the Harkin scene, for me, wasn't torture - it was a justifiable roughing up on par with any cop movie.  It's not the "correct" response when viewed in hindsight by most rational, law-abiding citizens, but Harkin is hardly a figure that elicits sympathy considering that he just tried to murder you.  We've seen Shep (albeit Renegade Shep) behave in a similar fashion, and even Captain Anderson in ME1 punches out an unarmed Udina; but in these instances I don't think we're meant to think too much about it, since we're not supposed to like these characters and thus it's "okay" for them to suffer.

I love that scene.  It resonates even more for me if I imagine (RP) Shepard told Garrus about Harkin sleazily hitting on her back in Chora's Den in ME1, during one of their talks or something.  It makes it more like, "THIS is what you get for hitting on my girlfriend, dirtbag!"

- I must admit to finding Garrus' aggressiveness sexy on a fantasy level
(I agree with Tootles on the Harkin scene). Would I want him to get
violent with Shep? Of course not, but some fantasies are meant to STAY
fantasies. The potential for aggressiveness in a man is a turn on to
quite a few women, but that doesn't mean they actually want the violence to happen to them.
It's the bad boy appeal, and yes, it's very primal. Harkens back to the
image of the typical dominant male. So if it works with a human male, it
would also work with a turian male.

This, too.  /ardent nod

I would certainly hope so.  I would lose most, if not all, of my respect for Garrus if he just went all doe-eyed over what Shepard wanted, all the time.  It would wreck his awesome personality for me.

Awesome. I guessed right. (TIM, why couldn't you get Shepard's body back without Liara? I haven't read all of Redemption yet... but I still think a Cerberus agent could have done it.)

@ silentstephi: Those giraffes and their flailing... it's hilarious. xD

@ kglaser: That's one of the reasons why MainShep lets Garrus shoot Harkin. That's what he gets for flirting with her in ME1.

Did anyone do Garrus' loyalty mission and find that Shepard appears to not know who Harkin is despite having met him in ME1? That happened to me and it got me a little frustrated to be honest...
