Thanks! Mass Effect is actually the first thing I've ever really obsessed about like this. I've always been sort of a fan of all trades - one day I'll be watchin' some anime, the next day reading some books, whatever, s'all good. The structure of that blog was entirely unintentioal, but I like it. It captures my train of thought while playing the game, as I invested more and more into the character. (For the curious, blog here)
Sooo, which one are you going to go for first in ME3? I found it interesting how your Shepard thought of Garrus as "just a friend" until she was dumped by Kaidan.
In the case of my main Shepard, Kaidan died on Virmire. She hadn't really "connected" with any of the L.I.s, but his death effected her deeply because she thought of her crew as a kind of substitute family (she's a colonial). That's also why she was so disturbed by the initial hostility of the new crew, and she found herself relying more and more on Garrus, until he became more of a partner than a subordinate.
It's a bit of my feelings mixed in with my character's backstory. I didn't fall in love with Garrus right away in ME1. I thought he was a cool guy, and his voice was awesome, but he was my bro, y'know? We were kindred spirits, except that my Shepard tried to work around authority whereas Garrus just barged right through it. It was only near the end of ME1 that I realized that I'd developed a weird kind of crush on him. I'd talked to him more than any other squaddie, he (and Wrex) were always on my team, and I felt closer to him than any of the others.
