In ME2, the Garrus romance pretty much starts when it ends, unlike the others which feel like ongoing relationships throughout the game. I'm not sure if Bioware recognises this problem (or even thinks of it as a problem) and with nine love-interests to juggle in ME3.. it's going to be hard to give everyone equal treatment. Some of us haven't been getting equal treatment already (the VS fans barely got to see the VS in ME2, the Liara fans are the most spoiled, etc.) so hopefully they will be able to devote enough resources to each LI (including Garrus).
Word
I'm still annoyed about that, if the VS had gotten a DLC in which the romance could have continued a bit then I wouldn't be so grumpy about Liara. For one thing it would given the "cheating" consequence for all the ME1 LI's more of a reason to be equal. I will be most displeased if sleeping with liara while you're in a cemented ME2 relationship gets the same consequence as shepard and the VS parting ways after horizon and meeting new people.
I will call b*llsh*t on that and it will just confirm that liara is still the golden girl that does no wrong, even if she participates in affairs. I would have respected her character a hell of a lot more if she refused to be with you if you were with someone else.The truth is I KNOW the others won't be getting more attention than Liara in ME3 despite the fact she's had lots of romance content already, I will be pleasantly surprised if that's the case but I don't expect this to happen.
I don't think the pair of them would say anything cliche, every time I think of either Shepard or Garrus saying the l word it never quite sounds right. They wouldn't openly flaunt their affection for one another, especially Garrus who wanted to keep things quiet in ME2. Maybe that will change a bit as his confidence comes back but I can't see either of them putting their relationship at the forefront. They have a mission and a job to do, saving the galaxy is the number one priority.
Shep and gar aren't a cliché couple by any means and so I don't expect cliché things to come out their mouths. Fenris in DA2 managed to express his love for you without ever using the word once, everything he said felt and sounded like real love. I can picture garrus and shepard doing the same thing, using their own words and their own way to express that they love eachother without actually saying it. Or maybe they will but the build up will be so good that it won't sound cheesy when its finally said, who knows.
But a few touches and nuzzles along the way would be nice, it would feel more realistic then hearing "Oh I love you!" all the time.And yeah, I am not too big on nicknames either. Even when he refers to Shepard as "commander" there's a certain.. familiarity in how he addresses her that it feels like a nickname all its own. Hopefully it stays that way.
Nuzzles are always good! And you're right,
if the L word is dropped it can only be done one time, after lots of build up so that it really means something. This made me think of Doctor who actually, when Rose Tyler thinks she'll never see the doc again so she finally confesses that she loves him and before he can finish his reply the doc disappears. When he DOES finally say it back he whispers it but you KNOW that's what he says back to her even if you don't hear it. the point is the l word was used without making anyone behave ooc , and it was used during a crucial point where it meant something.

I actually feel bad for him that my Shepard is with Garrus...
