So I haven't played ME2 in a couple weeks and after having the conversation with him on the Normandy after his loyalty mission I'm having a hard time not starting a romance with him again. My first playthrough was Kaidan in ME1 then Garrus in ME2 and this one will be Liara in ME1 and stay faithful to her through ME2. I want to do all the romances(and I want to do the Garrus one 3-5 times)but I have a hard time not picking Garrus. Does anyone have this problem? I picked the option "Goodbye" instead of "We could ease stress together" so the option for the romance will still be open later if I changed my mind about Liara. I also could watch the romance on youtube a few dozen more times...

Oh yes.  I have a playthrough going right now where I'm trying to stay loyal to Liara, and it's harder than I thought it would be.  I'm also having the same problem with my ManShep, who's trying to stay loyal to Ashley, but I've grown attached to all three of the possible ManShep LIs in ME2.  It just seems like the leadup to sexing is done so much better in ME2 (minus Jacob and some of the worst pickup lines in all of human history), even though they lead to little more than dry-humping.  Of course, Ashley's wasn't bad, either, so maybe it's just because the cast of ME2 is so much easier to emotionally relate to.  In my opinion, anyway.
It also doesn't help that Garrus is a sexy beast and makes me laugh 'til my sides hurt.  Damn him for being so smooth!

Also, has anyone noticed that if you do pick the "Goodbye" option instead of the "We could ease stress together" then he says a couple new lines when you talk to him again?

Nope, haven't noticed.

Another thing I wanted to know is that for those who romanced Garrus, will that Shepard be the first one you import into ME3? And did that Shepard romance someone in ME1 too or was it just Garrus?

For me, yes.  Ellen, my pure paragon soldier, is my "trail-blazer," the first Shep I made in ME1 and the first one I used in ME2.  She got in with Garrus and only Garrus, and she's got dibs on my first ME3 run.  She's not my favorite Shep by far, but she's good for testing out the game without deviating too far into possible sideplots.

I haven't made my Shepard that will be my first to import yet, but that one will be one that will romance Kaidan in ME1 and Garrus in ME2. I will stick with Garrus in ME3. But just incase I somehow get screwed and have to stick with Kaidan no matter what for some reason (which I doubt Bioware will do) and I can't choose Garrus in ME3, then I will have a backup where I didn't have a romance in ME1 and I romance Garrus in ME2.

Yeah, that had better not happen.  My ManShep will be very upset if he has to go back to Ashley after experiencing the glory that is Miranda's boobies.

EDIT: WHOAH DUDE TOP OF PAGE 600 AWWW YEEEAAAHHH.



For some reason, Garrus crouching is full of win.  It would have been better if I turned off the subtitles, though.

"Argh, ragh, argh" I believe is what the subtitles say. I always was kind of confused as to why he looked like he was smiling.

If I remember correctly, that is what the subtitles say. I never thought he was smiling in that scene though. The whole scene goes by pretty fast without screenshots, but I did pause it on youtube once. I was just amazed by how wide his mouth and mandibles were spread open, in a "How is that even possible?" sort of way.

I don't, but that's because I mostly have one Shepard for each romance. The only exceptions are for the squadmates I don't care much about, and the Shepard cheated on (or basically broke up with) them. If another one of my Shepards romanced Garrus, it would be like he was cheating on the original. That's what slightly different clones of the same Shepard are for. It's not cheating - same person, just an alternate universe. xD

By the way, most of my FemSheps will use the non-romance sparring dialogue. If it works for your character, I think it makes the whole thing sound less awkward and more like they're friends, instead of "I need to get out of here before I start the romance again." One of my FemSheps would be awkward there though, so the goodbye is better for her.

Also, has anyone noticed that if you do pick the "Goodbye" option instead of the "We could ease stress together" then he says a couple new lines when you talk to him again?

Is that the line where he says something like he still hasn't found a way to ease stress and FemShep can make the offer again? I can't remember the line, but I know that some people have used that to make the romance drawn out longer with an extra conversation. I've never tried it out myself.

No idea. It's possible, but it really depends on what happens in ME3 and which choices I want to play through first. I read all of the spoilers, so I'll know. I'd say there's a good chance Garrus' romance will be played through before any others, considering the fact that his only competition would be Saren and Kai Leng.

@AdmiralCheez: Nice screenshot. I don't think I've ever seen Garrus' boots before, and that's my favorite armor.

Thanks.  I love his little bewts.

[Kim Shepard]

I like the pattern of the metal there. I don't think the boots on his Archangel uniform have anything like that.

That scene is from the Overlord DLC, right? Garrus looks like he's checking the body, then his omni-tool, and thinking "yeah, this one is definitely dead." xD

[AdmiralCheez]

Yep, that's Overlord. I always take Tali and Garrus on that mission; not only do their powers set them up to cream synthetics, but it's always fun to drag them along on missions that involve reckless driving and lots and lots of geth. Just like old times.



Granted, Garrus is a bit better for merc busting, but he can spam Area Overload and provides the raw muscle and range that Tali lacks. Really, my only problem with the guy is that his AI seems to be worse than most. Not only have I seen him try to fight at close range with a sniper rifle, but he also tends to stand out in the open unless I specifically order him to take cover. Of all my squadmates, Garrus takes the most micromanaging. And the most medigel.

I brought Garrus and Legion on Overlord--I like Archer's line about Legion.  And yeah, Garrus is slightly suicidal.  I have to babysit him on Insanity, but it's worth it.  He puts on the pain with Area Overload and a sniper rifle.

As for the Shep romancing Garrus, I have one Shep whose playthrough is complete--canon Paragade Shep who romanced Garrus.  She's my trailblazer, and since I have trouble playing with other Sheps, I've played her through the games three times to refine her roleplay.  Currently trying to play jerkass Renegon ManShep--it's slow going.

[Kim Shepard]

When I'm not trying to figure out squad commands, Garrus always uses his assault rifle (the default), and he kind of alternates between staying behind cover, standing on top of cover, and rushing into battle. He doesn't get killed very often, but I play on Casual.

Garrus' Overload is great against geth. In combination with my MainShep's Overload and Tali's combat drone, it made her loyalty mission really easy. And fun, because MainShep got to watch the geth explode up close.

[Giggles_Manically]

Garrus is just is so useful to bring along in ME1 or ME2.

I just renegaded him and watched him take out Saleon with a sniper shot from the hip.



Garrus does have a glass chin on higher settings though.

[Kim Shepard]

I've never noticed how Garrus kills him, but it's kind of funny that when Shepard chooses the option to let Garrus kill Saleon and the scene goes straight to battle mode, Garrus still acts like he killed Saleon even if Shepard does it. Now I always let him kill Saleon, even if Shepard has to stand there like a fool not even holding a weapon. xD Does anyone else make sure Garrus is really the one to kill him? Even if he doesn't know any different, it just seems more right that way.

[Alexine]

I never actually brought Garrus out a lot until I beefed up his tactical armour, First Aid and electronics to a substantial amount. He often dies on me whenever I play from Veteran and higher difficulty. But he doesn't die as quickly in ME2, since his AI is not so buggy than in ME1.

But Garrus does steal my snipes in ME2. D<

There were a few times in ME1 when either Garrus or Tali stole my Vanguard's shots. That was disappointing. He had those geth lifted up to shoot with high explosive rounds... and then they get shot, but they're not flaming. Still, I would never blame them for stealing my shots when I'm about to get Shepard killed. My favorite combat moment was when Garrus saved my MainShep from Collectors. I turned Shepard around thinking another one was right next to her, but it was Garrus.

Alexine, your avatar is adorable. xD

Garrus's Area Overload saves my canon!Shep's life at least once every other fight on Insanity, even in ME1.  Every opponent has defenses--shields are the only defense in ME1, and the most common among non-Collectors in ME2.  My poor Adept Shep has no way of dealing with them in a suitable manner on Insanity until she gets the Geth Pulse Rifle in ME2,

Enter Garrus and his explosions to the rescue.  Oh Garr-bear 

[Alexine]

Aw, thanks! (been brainwashing the guys over at Clan V with it, haha).

I found that in ME1 Garrus didn't take my shots, since he always kept running in front of my targets (accidentally knocked him out once since he ran in front of the enemies while I was aiming at that boss' head). But then again, I didn't play as an Infiltrator in ME1 as much, because my eyes strained where the sniper kept shaking whenever I zoom in for a shot (unless I filled up all the of the sniper rifle points). I prefer Infiltrator class in ME2, because the sniper zoom is much better.

[Kim Shepard]

There aren't as many enemies with shields on Casual, but whenever there's a mission centered around the geth, like Tali's and Legion's missions, I get a lot of use out of Overload. Most of the time, I use Concussive Shot. That's probably the squad power I've used more than any other. I don't remember all of his ME1 attacks, just that I alternated between them a lot, so they must have been good. Garrus is great for any mission, I think. There are a few squadmates that I'm still trying to figure out how to use well enough in battle. I've never had any trouble with Garrus.

I saw a few youtube videos of the sniper rifle in ME2, and it looked cool. I tried it once in ME1, and really failed at it - couldn't tell where I was shooting, and if I actually managed to hit anything, it was a lucky shot. Of course, I tried it out on a Vanguard. xD I'll leave the sniper to Garrus for a while.

No it isn't that one. What you have to do is talk to him after his loyalty mission and instead of picking "We could ease stress together" on the top right after his "Reach and Flexibility" story pick "Goodbye". Then when you talk to him again after Shepard says "Do you got a minute?" Garrus will say "Sure, Just killing time anyway. Optimizing weapon charges, planning attack vectors. You know, Relaxing. I'm still trying to figure out how to prepare for this mission. Humans don't deal with stress the way turians do.". Then you have a chance to listen to all his post-loyalty mission dialogue again and be able to start the romance. Then after you say "Goodbye" he says "Sure thing". So it sort of replaces his "Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations" line if you don't start the romance and if you totally avoid the "We could ease stress together" line.

[Evelinessa]

Actually now that I remember I think he did say some of that before but I believe the "Optimizing..." line was new.

[Kim Shepard]

That sounds familiar, so I've probably heard that line before. Maybe it is the one I was thinking of. I only saw it once on youtube, quite some time ago. More Garrus dialogue is good. My Shepard started the romance as soon as possible, putting off a bunch of other missions to get Garrus' loyalty early on. That made the conversations end really quickly though.

Isn't it nice how Garrus thinks that kind of thing, getting the ship's weapons ready and planning attack, is relaxing? xD I guess I have a few Shepards who would agree with him though. They could feel more relaxed being prepared for anything and having a routine (or just being around all the weapons).

Or his ability to calibrate all the time? XD

[Kim Shepard]

Well... that one's good for the ship, not so much for our Shepards. xD Most of them at least take a break every now and then. Spare a few minutes to talk more with your friends, Garrus.

[Sable Rhapsody]

So I've been watching Walking Dead lately, and part of me now wants to see Shep and the squad deal with a zombie apocalypse. Not husks--good, old-fashioned Walking Dead style zombies. Maybe they pick up a distress signal into a zombie survival situation where they have to last until Normandy can extract them.



Garrus, Mordin, and Shep would be zombie killing machines. It would be awesome. That's kinda random, but now I want to see this.

[Kim Shepard]

And now I can just imagine my paranoid, Crazy Prepared MaleShep telling the whole crew, "See? You said they didn't exist. You said I was crazy. But I knew!" (You know, Shepard should really say that to the Council in ME3.) xD Garrus would just accept the fact that he's finally lost it and help snipe zombies.

That sounds very cool! I would like that, even for a DLC. They could re-use some areas (The Citadel has a zombie virus breakout, and Shepard has to save the council or let them be killed again XD).

And you can rescue Garrus and the rest of the squaddies from it.

[fallele]

hmm I've looked pretty much everywhere online and there's no record of that particular line. I think i'll go back to the game at some point and find it for myself.

xD, if being around weapons is what makes him comfortable so be it. At least Shepard won't have to worry too much if something goes wrong.

Now i'm just wondering if anyone has noticed that Jacob is almost exactly like Garrus personality/goal wise?

edit: ah man didn't notice the thread jump xP

I doubt it would ever happen. But if it did, I know exactly what my reaction would be. "What did I miss in the DLC this time? Zombies? Oh, come on! This isn't the Saren resurrection I've been asking for, is it? Wait a minute, if we found a cure and returned him to normal... Mordin, to the lab! >:D"

[Alexine]

@Kim: It could be an alternative DLC, sort of like the Darkspawn Chronicles for DA:O. I mean, Read Dead Redemption did that for their dlc pack. XD

@Fal: I noticed that as well, but I think what peeved everyone off about Jacob was that he wasn't keen on opening up, while Garrus voiced his opinion quite loudly.
