See, I love Garrus... but for me he's like that guy who you don't think is hot until you've known him for a long time, and it comes up somehow and makes you rethink everything. And while I think turians are very pretty, I don't think I prefer them over humans inhernetly.
That's how my interest in him progressed, anyway. In the first game I was like"you're a decent guy, Garrus, but you're no Wrex or Kaidan." In Mass Effect 2 I was like "Oh thank God a friendly face, also, you've become more self-deprecating which is +50 sexypoints in my book." Then "I'm bored, so I'm going to talk to you, because everyone else is boring or out of dialogue." And onto "I... am actually very charmed, also I want to help you feel better about yourself." And then finally "You are truly the most loyal and trustworthy person I have ever met, you get me, and we need each other."
Pretty much this, only I find turians quite handsome.
Seriously, Nihlus walks onto the screen, and I immediately decide Mass Effect is my new favorite game.
Anyway, haven't forgotten about my Partinax speech/"project." Just really need to focus on schoolwork.
Also, I really do hope to see a more "mature" Garrus in ME3. I don't expect him to lose his passion, but I wouldn't mind seeing a more level-headed, big picture kind of guy.
EDIT: Crap, TotP. Hangon, y'all...
Oh, Turians are handsome alright - that's sort of what I meant by pretty. For me, "pretty" means good-looking but not necessarily in an inherently sexy way. A "Sort of want... definitely want to look at" kind of thing, like a beautiful woman or a sexy robot (or a
sexy robot woman.) I've talked about
Turian strippers before - the uniqueness and alienness of the anatomy makes them much more interesting to observe. I would still rather go to a Turian strip club than a human one. I'd definitely prefer to go to a Turian life-drawing class, though a Salarian one would also be interesting.
When Nihlus came on screen I got a very strong "Want to befriend and glomp that" response, but for me that's very different than "Must... remove... clothing." It's also much more common, the only fictional characters I can recall who immediately evoked blazing crushes were Vincent Valentine (I know, shut up. I was young!) and Zelgadis Greywords. Well, and Wash. "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
Actually, now that I think about it, that writer's reference to Garrus being Wash + Mercutio might mean he's maturing. Mercutio is a witty, egotistical idiot-badass, but Wash is only immature in fun ways, but he's also the most compassionate and emotionally stable person on that ship. Having Garrus take a slightly-more-laid-back "I'm here if you need me, and also, Quips!" attitude in ME3 would be simply divine. I also hope he keeps our Paragonning and Renegading of him... I actually saw someone in another thread comment on how she actually noticed a significant difference in Garrus's general attitude based on how you mold him in both ME1 and ME2. It would be interesting to do both kinds of playthroughs and really pay attention to the changes. I think the actual changes are small, but we really have only small clues to all the characters' personalities anyway.
The lesson my Shepard has been trying to teach Garrus is that you can get things done with planning and diplomacy, and you don't need to throw everything out the window the first time something goes wrong. You're more good to us alive and sane, Garrus! Stop trying to go crazy and get killed!
On Garrus's self confidence and further development: There was a thread a few days ago about characters not being worried about the suicide mission, and Cheez pointed out that Garrus is one of the only people to express serious concerns that it will go badly, showing his current tendency toward pessimism. I was thinking about how having him lead one of the fire teams (and succeed) and getting the No One Left Behind achievment might put another tick in his self-confidence bar. "Hey, I was given a major leadership role and nothing bad happened! Also, something went pretty much totally right, for once!" I doubt the writers will factor that in, but I'm putting it in my personal cannon, at least. And who knows, they might. Honestly, I think surviving characters having their outlooks on life colored by how many people died on the SM would be pretty amazing.
