I agree. I didn't mean that each character had all of the others qualities, just that they have a little of both.YamiSnuffles wrote...
I could see Fenris maybe being a combo of Jack and Garrus. My only issue being humor and loyalty. To me, the main reason I love Garrus is that he makes me laugh all the time and he's loyal to the end. Fenris, meanwhile, never made me laugh and was always storming off. I think I was too much of a mage sympathizer in that game to ever fully love Fenris.
If he still had more of his humor, I'd say Anders is fairly close to Garrus. He's funny and he's extremely passionate about justice. Granted, he ihas to be passionate about justice with said spirit inside him but that definitely gave him a Garrusy vibe for me. On the other hand, I never saw Garrus breaking my Shepard's heart but felt like Anders had a blinking sign above his head warning off Hawke.
When my favorite characters actually aren't villains, which is very rare, they tend to almost die. If Garrus follows that pattern, then he already had his brush with death in ME2 and should be fine.My problem is, my favorite characters are generally heroes, but I seem to be an expert at loving the heroes that will somehow end up crushing me to pieces. Since I get so invested in those characters, I haven't managed to get used to it. That's why I am still hoping Garrus is immune to this particular problem. So far he seems imbued with so much awesome that he could pull out ahead in the end.
And welcome to the Garrus thread.

Hello all! Long time lurker first time poster.
Was really interested in the comparisons between Garrus and the DA2 love interests. My first playthrough I romanced Anders (completely missed the mission where you get Fenris >_<) and one of my first thoughts upon meeting him was:
"Hmm... outlaw with good intentions who failed at his first job (CSEC/Wardens) and now lives in the cruddiest part of town trying to do good... Wizard Garrus?!"

And they're willing to go to extreme measures for their cause, including killing off their recruit/apprentice to keep a secret. The other things that were mentioned are from one of the novels, which I haven't read yet.Liec wrote...
I don't see much of Duncan in Saren, tbh :-/ other than them being the senior members of their respective clubhouses.

I would recommend buying the Xbox copy again. The PS3 comic does a horrible job of retelling ME1, with several things missing and inaccurate. >_>And they're willing to go to extreme measures for their cause, including killing off their recruit/apprentice to keep a secret.

Did you play Awakening? Anders makes a lot of jokes back then. I can see a Varric-Merrill sort of relationship between Garrus and Tali though.Shadow_Soul wrote...
Re: Common Qualities
I can see that BioWare characters all have things in common. Example: Merrill reminds me of Tali. I see where you guys are getting Fenris and Anders for Garrus, but he's got that little touch of humor like Varric. They also seem to care...like how Varric sorta watches out for Merrill like a big bro, Garrus cares for Shepard as a friend and, if romanced, more then that. (Might just be me, though. >_>)
I mean, my favorite characters from different series have a lot in common, and most of the time, I instantly like other characters with those same traits. It would be sad if there was never another one like them.
No, I haven'tb played Awakening. I've heard good stuff about it and all, I might get it at some point, I don't know yet...Kim Shepard wrote...

I don't mind the similarities.
I can DEFINITLY see a similarity between him and Garrus like Shadow said. I dunno. I guess its a bit silly to be like "Garrus is like this guy mixed with this guy and ...etc" cause if you think about it, everyone is a bit like everyone, even IRL.

A lot of the things Anders was doing when we met him in the beginning were similar to Garrus during his time as Archangel. And there's the whole obsession with justice... although, Garrus is a lot less extreme.YamiSnuffles wrote...
But the way I figure it, it would always be possible to find commonalities between favorite characters from any series. Otherwise, what would make them all appealing to one person? That said, I can't say why I love DA2 Anders so much. Awakenings, I understood, but now Anders has little in common with my usual favorites. The best I've been able to guess is that he's mind controlling me with his puppy eyes.
