Sialater:

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Salute!

[Sialater]

You're welcome!



I think Garrus just has a thing for the bad girls.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Whenever I see that picture, I know think of boob impalement!

My first playthrough was a colonist, sole survivor, now THAT is definately too much drama for one character. I definately prefer the Earthborn background, I like the idea that Shepard isn't just some dreamy eyed marine who has had it easy. She has roughed it and worked for what she got. And that perfectly relates to Garrus after Omega.

Before Omega, I think he may have related more to the War Hero's past because of the mentor-student relationship they had in ME1.

I have yet to do a spacer playthrough, but I am intrigued to meet Hannah Shepard...

[Aeowyn]

You never actually meet her. You just hear her voice. Would be fun to meet her in ME3, but considering how racially diverse everyone makes their Shepard, it would be difficult to make a Mother that appeals to everyone.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Hmm, true that. Although in DA2, Bethany (Hawke's sister) is customised to have the same skin tone as Hawke. Although I see what you mean, you have paragon/renegade, background, LI, accent, morals and all that to consider with Shepard's mum.

I finished my fourth play through of ME2 last night and also just watched Life Aquatic, so this came readily to mind and had to share it.

[Leonia]

Aww! Thanks for sharing that, FoxNimue. That's a really good screengrab.

[Kim Shepard]

Actually, Garrus will only catch Shepard if the other squadmate is Jack or Thane. (And Thane will only catch Shepard if the second squadmate is dead. xD I found that one out for myself with an unloyal Miranda.) If you want Shepard to catch Garrus, he has to be in the squadmate slot on the right. That's random, and it doesn't matter which order you choose him - if he comes up in the left slot, just reload or get Shepard killed in battle for an automatic reload.

About backgrounds: It's interesting that so many Earthborn Sole Survivors romanced Garrus. My FemShep isn't one, but that MaleShep I mentioned who is Earthborn Sole Survivor was also my first playthrough. I have a Colonist Sole Survivor planned out, but I like tragic backgrounds for my Shepards. In some ways, he's more sane than my Earthborn Sole Survivors (I have two, both are extremely paranoid). Poor guy can't romance anyone though. He has a bit of an "everyone I care about dies" mentality. A badass female turian could totally change that though.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Yeah, I love that screenie, his armour looks really cool. And I love Garrus' armour.

I usually kill the collectors with Garrus and Thane and get Miranda to lead the final squad (Garrus leads the others.) I just have to have him there with me for the final battle. So usually, I catch Garrus and Garrus catches me.

And I still remember that thread Pacifien posted here I love Thane, but really, he's such a jerk!

And Earthborn Sole survivors for Garrus!

[Kim Shepard]

My FemShep had Garrus leading both teams and then brought him to the final battle. She'll also bring Thane to the final battle in her replay so Garrus can catch her, after I make sure Miranda is loyal (because with no Zaeed and Kasumi, she'll die from a low hold the line score when I bring Thane).

I think any background would work equally well for Garrus. I'd say it mostly depends on personality, but all of our Shepards have completely different personalities. So really, it depends on recruiting him, not ignoring his personal mission, and being Shepard. xD

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Is the hold the line score really that low if you bring Thane and Garrus but don't have Kasumi or Zaeed? Who did you send to escort the crew? It's always best if you send someone with a lower hold the line score like Jack or Mordin. As long as they are all loyal anyway.
Garrus and the final battle is a must.

[Leonia]

Could have sworn I had Garrus catch FemShep when I did the final batttle with Jacob and Garrus as my squaddies.. but I could be remembering it totally wrong too. It's good to know what all the different combinations are, especially if someone plans to say.. Fraps the sequence for later use. Going to be a long time before I get that far with my Insanity run though.

No, before getting the DLC, that was my team.  I've even "won" with Garrus and Miranda at the final battle, with the rest holding the line.

I always took Thane and Garrus to the human reaper battle and the hold the line score was high enough without DLC for no one to die. Who was the leader holding the line? Was it Zaeed? I hear he can make it work.

[Sialater]

You don't pick the leader for HTL. You just pick your team for the baby Reaper. However, if you take Garrus, I imagine either Miranda or Jacob is in charge.



But I think as long as you have Loyal Grunt HTL, you're good to go. (And send Mordin back with the crew.)

[Shadow_Soul]

I have fanart and figured it does have Garrus in it. So here's the link: Just Once I did another peice yesterday...here: Forever
Tell me what you guys think.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Must... rescue from page 2!!!

Shadow soul, that art is really sweet, I love how Shepard has painted her nails blue on forever!

And Sia, I forgot that Jacob is a successful leader for holding the line.

But I am so glad that Garrus has such an epic role in the suicide mission, he deserves it. He is most suited for squad leader in my opinion, and I think if Garrus is Shepard's co-leader, then he can develop to his full potential in terms of leadership.

Some new fanart for the thread!

Garrus and the final battle is a must.

Forgot to mention that. I sent Mordin back with the crew - this was before I knew what killed off each squadmate, and Mordin's death holding the line was still thought to be random. Every time I've replayed the final battle, he was already sent back, so I guess it's easy to forget. xD But yeah, that score is low enough for one squadmate to die, and the unloyals are first in line. Miranda was my only unloyal. It didn't happen in my first playthrough, only when I was testing a bunch of catching combinations. I must be one of the few people who managed to get her killed off completely by accident.

Here's the thread with the information: http://social.biowar...5/index/5855452
For the playthrough I'm talking about here - no Zaeed and Kasumi, Mordin back at the ship, Garrus and Thane at the final battle, and an unloyal Miranda in my hold the line group - 13 points from 7 squadmates, which makes a score of 1.8, means the death of one squadmate.

But I am so glad that Garrus has such an epic role in the suicide mission, he deserves it. He is most suited for squad leader in my opinion, and I think if Garrus is Shepard's co-leader, then he can develop to his full potential in terms of leadership.

Also, I agree with this. That Shadow Broker was so wrong. Working with Shepard does bring out Garrus' full potential.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Hell yeah the Broker is wrong. Garrus for XO in ME3!

Actually Kim, on my first playthrough Miranda died for me too. This was before I knew all the combinations. I had Miranda unloyal because I stood by Jack, she was in the right anyway. I had Samara lead the first team, and sent Legion as my tech specialist, so he got killed. (Miranda said Samara was an excellent choice, so this is why you don't listen to her!)

Grunt went back to take the squad. I assigned Samara as squad leader again because I didn't know about the connection between her being the squad leader and the tech specialist dying. And Miranda thought she was the perfect choice (LIESS!!)

I took Garrus and Thane with me to the collector battle - my deadly duo. And I returned to see Miranda and Mordin both dead.



And that is how I got Miranda accidently killed before having a clue what all the scores and assignments should be. Of course, my main playthrough has everyone surviving. I want to see everyone's story arc, even those I'm not so keen on.

As for Garrus' leadership potential, well, that is why you can play as him in place of Shepard

[Kim Shepard]

I read all of the spoilers before I played the suicide mission, so I knew how to keep everyone alive. If I hadn't read the spoilers, I would have kept Garrus with Shepard the whole time to make sure he wouldn't die, instead of making him team leader both times. (Keep in mind, it's totally in character for my Shepard to choose Garrus as team leader. This is me metagaming. No way my favorite squadmate dies if I can prevent it.)

[Aeowyn]

Lol that's what I did Kim. Kept Garrus close as everyone else dies around us

[Kim Shepard]

Everyone else died around you? Yikes. Well, at least Garrus was safe. xD
