For some reason, I want to say the Arterius family is from Palaven (haven't read issue 3 of Evolution yet) but I can't remember why I am thinking that. There could be multiple tattoos for the homeworld as well, like based on what region one is from since the population would probably be much higher than any colony world.

That would make sense, the tattoos being based on different regions of Palaven. I can't help but think they messed up their facts a little with the tattoos though, with Desolas getting one out of nowhere, possibly to help us tell him apart from Saren (I noticed his colors also got darker/brighter too - he looked much closer to Saren in volume 1).

Do you know something I don't know about Saren's family? Posted Image All I know is that Desolas acted like he knows Palaven well, but that was from volume 3. Before that, I would have guessed they weren't from Palaven because of Saren not having tattoos.

Well, keep in mind that just because a turian is from a colony doesn't mean they HAVE to manifest that colony's tattoos.  They could very well choose not to and just be a barefaced badass rebel.

It was mentioned how sane Garrus (and other ME LI's) seems after playing DA2, and I completely agree. I probably wouldn't change the Anders romance for anything, but it definitely made me want to immediately pick up ME2. Garrus is such a rock for Shepard, whether as a friend or LI. 


Seconded.  I swear the LIs in BioWare games get crazier as time goes by.  I thought the ME2 LIs were a bit off the wall (Garrus and Jacob excepted), but everyone in DA2 is bats***.

I threw in ME2 to finish my canon Shep on PC last night and listening to her and Garrus banter and be awesome and pretty freaking normal for a physically incompatible couple with a suicide mission looming over them was...nice.

Oh, who am I kidding. I practically hugged my monitor and sobbed "OhgodI'vemissedyou." and "Goddammit, Anders, why couldn't you have been a Mass Effect LI?" (A: Because I would die if I had to choose between him and Garrus). Shepard and Garrus are the cure for the common case of Dysfunctional Couple Syndrome in video games.

I too want to know what turian rank Saren and Garrus have. The whole citizenship hierachy thing sounds like a good idea for the turian style of life.

And yeah, I'm starting to miss Garrus. I still love playing ME. But I know all the lines now, and what he does. But fanfics fill in the time nicely!

And Garrus is quite sane (and amazing) in his romance dialogue and scene, but of course, he is an alien looking alien, so a lot of people may perceive that as reason enough for him being a crazy LI. Not me though! I love them turians!

The simple solution being that Shepard should be able to choose both of them. Really though, I need to get back to my canonShep replay. Although, now I'll wish all the more for the option to hug Garrus. Not because he needs it (though he does) but because I feel like clinging to his sanity and stability.

Aaaw, Obsydian! You have the fanfic sigbar that Nod made for Heroes Never Die in your sig! Thanks, hehe!
And turians were excellently designed. They look alien, and still look cool. Not even Star Wars could manage that!

And Garrus NEEDS HUGS!!

I like the direction BioWare is going with their romance options! They're getting better every time, in my opinion. If they keep this up in ME3... *looks at Saren, Kai Leng, and TIM* :D

Well, can't argue with that. xD

I thought being barefaced was a bad thing. Even though the whole galaxy seems to trust Saren anyway.

Boo, I always loved Garrus, from ME1, but I romanced Thane for my ME2 playthrough... I did everything, intending it to be my main Shep, and now I honestly can't be bothered to replay everything to change love interests >.< (I even managed to gather over one million credits, was a lot of work....) Gah, I don't have any savefiles from before the IFF mission so I could, at least, not have to start from scratch. This makes me so sad :crying: I read here that relationships can be changed after the suicide mission, but when I broke up with Thane and went to talk to Garrus, he was all like, CALIBRATIONS!... Any help here for a fellow Garrus lover? :innocent:

Did you not know that Garrus was a romance option before you played through the game?

My advice is always to play multiple Shepards. Garrus and Thane are both great romance options. I don't know if it would work to romance him after the suicide mission if his dialogue about sparring and "blowing off steam" isn't there anymore... and it kind of makes sense that it wouldn't be, because the dialogue sounds like it's made for pre-suicide mission romance. If you still have your ME1 save file to import, you could play the same Shepard again with Thane romanced on one playthrough and Garrus on the other.

More advice, save often and keep many saves. :)

Thanks :P I usually keep a bunch of savegames, but I guess I just accidentally replaced the ONE SAVEGAME that mattered. Oh well, I guess an excuse to play the game again is always good, right? ;)

In the criminal justice system, the people of the citadel are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. C-sec, and the goddamn Garrus Vakarian (cue music from law and order intro).

Anyways... I'm dropping in to show my support for Garrus again. Hopefully this picture is at least new to someone.

Sure, it's a bad thing.  But when did that ever stop Saren? :lol:

Yeah...I'm starting to miss my nice, sweet, sane turian.  Not that Garrus doesn't have his problems; he's hot-headed, impulsive, and vengeance-obsessed.  (Great, that makes him sound like Anders).  But he gets saner, not crazier, and he's 100% always got Shepard's back.

Good point. But Saren always has a reason... and I want to know the reason. xD And the reason why his brother got random tattoos when TIM was unconscious. He must have been just as confused as I was.

TIM: ...Desolas? You look different.
Desolas: No, I don't.
TIM: Are those tattoos new? Were your colors always that bright?
Saren: Ignore him. It's a fashion thing.

Hey, it's possible. xD

Desolas: Oh, you're one to talk about fashion, Saren. You've been wearing those headbands for years.
Saren: Headbands are a subtle fashion statement. Your face is bright purple.
Desolas: Purple is our genetic destiny.
Saren: Brother, you know I can't debate this crazy Reaper logic.
TIM: Guys, I'm still here. Handcuffed to a chair.

Imagine if that romance scene went differently


Garrus: I've seen so many things go wrong shepard, my work at c-sec... what happened with Sidonis....*eyes narrow*  Sidonis ...*SMASH*

Shepard: Posted Image

Garrus: It's nice that I can still take pleasure in the small things

Shepard:uh...You going to clean that up anytime soon?

I wouldn't mind if there was a scene like that... Of course, I wouldn't want to change the romance scene they already have. It's adorable. :) I mean as a second scene.

Then again, Garrus probably wouldn't let himself rage like that in front of Shepard. That's more Saren's style.

Hey guys, a disturbing thought occurred to me.

What if Garrus gets indoctrinated in ME3?

If bioware stoops that low, I do hope there is a way to save him.

Letting us save him would be stooping even lower.

Of course, I would never condone the first hypothesis in the first place.
