"Now you can own both Garrus and Saren..." xD It's like they know I don't order anything online. I've definitely seen that Garrus image before. And who's in the background behind Saren?

Garrus's family could find out about his actions through one of those reporters running around on the Citadel.  All it would take would be an interview with Shepard asking a few questions including some about Garrus (in case you didn't have him there) and pow - instant triggering of a family conference call or something.  I could see his sister freaking out after seeing him all scarred up and hearing about what he's been doing trying to clear up Omega or trying to fight the reapers.  Something along the lines of "Why didn't you tell me!!!"

I forgot to comment on the idea of Garrus' sister seeing Garrus during one of Shepard's interviews in my catch-up post. It sounds good to me. (So does that reporter saying something about Garrus, Shepard punching her, and his sister watching on the vids. That would be awesome.)

Also, I agree that Garrus letting Shepard use his sniper rifle shows a lot of trust. The same could be said for Shepard allowing Garrus to aim that same rifle at his/her back during his loyalty mission.

That's Anderson behind Saren, in the litho.  If I didn't already have a Garrus litho...

And during Garrus' loyalty mission, the amount of trust evident there is compelling.  I don't think Shep would be comfortable doing that with almost anyone else.

BioWare store has Garrus lithos back in stock, as well as Saren.

AWESOME. Aww, but they aren't as big as before.

Also, lol

[Kim Shepard]

Thanks. The picture was kind of small, so I couldn't tell. BioWare should sell this stuff in stores... but until then, I've got a picture of Saren on the cover of Revelation.

I don't think there are many crew members that so many Shepards could trust. There are a lot of them that could be trusted by some Shepards and not others depending on how the character is played, but Garrus is the only one who's been completely loyal so far in the way that he's never acted against Shepard or his/her plans. His loyalty can't be lost either. Even my EvilShep trusts him, in his own "I know he wouldn't shoot me, I know he wouldn't shoot me... he'd better not shoot me" sort of way. xD

Fixed that for ya.

...It's so fun saying "Officer Vakarian"... 

[Mr.BlazenGlazen]

I can imagine getting pulled over by C-SEC on the citadel and have garrus writing a ticket for me.

[aznsoisauce]

He's probably the type you couldn't persuade your way out of a ticket.

"Bu-but, Officer I swear...that Volus just threw himself onto the hood of my car!"

"Uh-huh." *submits ticket via omni-tool*

"...he was screaming something about a credit chit on the wipers, I think."

*Garrus walks away*

[aznsoisauce]

I can see him leading a team to handle some riot that started over the wait-time to see Sha'ira. That reminds me...anyone have a link to a video of taking Garrus to talk to Septimus in Mass Effect 1?

[Kim Shepard]

I agree about Garrus not being a "let's talk about our feelings" kind of guy, but that's a good thing in a way. Like you said, he is the type who would be there for Shepard no matter what. One of my Shepards in particular would be really annoyed if anyone tried to give him advice - he knows what's bothering him, and he already knows how to deal with it the best he can. This Shepard would think it's just nice to know he have a friend who's there if he needs him, even though he'll never talk about his own problems. As for the Shepard who romances him... well, she knows there are only a few people who can actually deal with her when she's angry. Poor Garrus just isn't ready for that kind of emotional biotic storm yet. She can keep that sort of thing under control around Garrus and the others.

For some reason, that was just so funny. xD

Well, I guess it's rare that between Shepard's personal and military history, nothing happened to make them a little "damaged." Only one out of nine (I think?) possibilities, Spacer War Hero, could fit that description - unless there's a Shepard who doesn't care about all the past stuff, but that would be hard to find. The Earthborn Ruthless Shepard I was talking about in my last post was more damaged by the events that led him to make those decisions, rather than growing up in a gang or killing a lot of surrendering batarians. The Garrus romance Shepard is a Colonist War Hero who learned to deal pretty well with Mindoir over the years, but after being killed, abandoned by the Council/Alliance, and watching Saren kill himself... she just has to throw her biotics at the model ship of Sovereign, who caused it all, every now and then. xD I have a Spacer War Hero Shepard. She's a Renegade though. They can never not be eccentric. Takes all the fun out of it.

[nekhbet]

Yeah, the background story given by BioWare makes Shepard damaged goods by default. Doesn't matter what you pick, Shepard's always traumatised by alien abductions, getting dumped by parents or never having solid and stable friend/relationships outside the military. And then there's the psychological profile thing that doesn't really improve the situation.



Garrus is also pretty damaged, so it's hard to play it ignoring all that crap. Might as well revel in it! Well, that's what I do anyway.

[Numa-Fai]

I'm usually a Spacer War hero/Survivor (I like to have a family) and always I'm a female character, always keep single or romance Garrus. But I think it's because he's the only one who doen't not press you to have a formal relationship but remains as your friend...

Hmm, this is interesting. Most of our Shepards seem to be "damaged goods" or else kind of eccentric. Does anybody here actually romance Garrus with a standard "average Joe" nice paragon with no big issues?

Yo, I got Lana for that. Earth-Born warhero, she's a renegon and romanced him just because it clicked.

Edit: Lana has no emotional baggage whatsoever. She's pretty good at dealing with tough situations and if it gets too tense for her, she punches the shyt out of some crates until she feels better. She very blunt, can't be bothered and has a great sense of humour.

Impossible to roleplay in ME? The only "impossibility" is deciding Shepard's sexual orientation. I'd ask you more details as to what the DA2 boards mean when they say that but that would be derailing the topic. I could always peruse the forums myself.

To keep it somewhat on topic...Spacer War Hero Shepard that romanced Garrus, here. (Somehow, my roleplaying of that character led to many renegade decisions.) War Hero Shep is particularly portrayed as a good leader. To me, that means Shep communicates well. She is willing and able to talk about your feelings -- understanding her crew is important. However, that doesn't mean she's the type to open up about herself.

I guess that's a reason why I was drawn to romancing Garrus with that character (ahahahaha! As if I can actually play as FemShep and NOT romance Garrus!). With Garrus it doesn't really feel like any emotional baggage needs to be unpacked or that something needs to be fixed for their relationship to work. My Shep is more concerned with what you show her than what you tell her (let's pretend I don't mean anything dirty, mmkay?). Garrus seems like the same type.

Kate's not damaged goods - she's (mostly) Paragon Colonist / War Hero, but has genuinely dealt with and moved past what happened on Mindoir. The only thing is that she despises slavers more than any other bad guy, but I wouldn't really call that a problem. She's my MainShep, and will always be Garrus's girl

Funnily enough, none of my Shepards are "damaged goods" who romanced Garrus. My Shepard who romanced Garrus is a total paragon (with the devil behind her whispering renegade taunts) with Spacer/War Hero. I consider her relationship with Garrus is due to the separation from her race in a way, since Spacer background (correct me if I'm wrong) is going through many places depending on where Shepard's parents are stationed. My Shep and Garrus clicked because they were both running around in circles. At least what I see it as that.

But I could see the "damaged goods" seemed to be a nice story plot. It's not too cliche.

[Sialater]

Meghan's a tough girl. Earthborn and sole survivor. I don't consider her "damaged goods." And she'd deck the first person who told her she was anyway. She's just violent and aggressive because that's how she deals, but she does have a great deal of charm and knows when to use it. I let her romance Garrus because I never thought Kaidan was a good fit for her anyway, but she's not the type to ignore advances or a romantic nature, either.



Garrus didn't get my "damaged girl." He got the tough girl.

[Giggles_Manically]

My Shep Anna who romanced him isin't damaged.



She just sees him as a project to fix, and tries to bring him out of the darkness he seems to slip into some times.
