Folks, this is GARRUS VAKARIAN we are talking about - he got his own video for himself recently. They know how popular he is. IF he is a scripted death, there is no possibly way they'd let him die without it being a glorious one. They know Garrus is not cannon-fodder/red shirt character - he was a love interest (CH boasting that he was actually the most popular one) and a recurring character for two games. It won't be for nothing.

And because of that, Garrus has some plot armor....hm. Perhaps this has something to do with Sidonis. Save Sidonis and he'll take the knife for Garrus. Don't save him and...well. Sorry, Archangel.

To some of us it doesn't matter if it is glorious or not. I certainly didn't buy two games and wait 5 years for the third to get a bunch of scripted deaths I don't want. It would rob me of any sense of reward for this whole saga.

Giving people the OPTION of seeing those "glorious deaths" though...to each their own. People are free to choose. But BW better not force that sort of...well...**** on me.

Really? I love it! They're will be a lot of death in ME3 and it just wouldn't hit us the same if people close to us didn't die. 

Its like going through all the Harry Potter books without anyone close to Harry dying. Pretty boring...


Killing characters for the drama and emotion is just weak.

I think characters can provide a lot of it even if they're not dying to complete some cliché scene.

Well like anything, it depends on the execution.

first time for everything.


Except the game is built on choices. Railroading someone into losing a fan favorite character, like Garrus, is just stupid.

I really think they were referring to the consequences for cheating anyway. Cheat on Kaidan with Garrus? Garrus or Kaidan may sacrifice themselves for some stupid reason later in the game.

Oh, Garrus doesn't have any plot armor. Plot armor refers to being so integral to the plot that a character can't die no matter what happens. Garrus can die as of ME2; therefore, he has no plot armor. The only squadmate who actually does have plot armor is Liara, but you could count the Virmire survivor as well--though not quite to the same extent.

Doesn't anyone else want Mordin as a perma squadmate? If fans don't demand it then it won't happen, and it seems like fans aren't demanding it...


I've demanded it before. It's just my voice has been drowned out. But Mordin is quite possibly my favourite character, along with Garrus and Ashley.


Well, many of the professional reviews briefly fixated on Mordin and the reviewer's love of the character. So that's definitely worth pointing out!

I meant plot armor in the sense that he does have such a high popularity that it would be unlikely for a death to be unpreventable. Though I suppose that might be giving the devs too much/little credit I suppose. Maybe I should just be quiet. :mellow:

But I still like my Sidonis theory.

Fans taking my Garrus=Wash/Mercutio joke as canon: I was trying to use fear to get Number One Fan rank on @arch4ngel's page. (I failed)

I also wrote about Hawke catching chili in that neck-armor thing on this feed, so I guess that's canonical, too! Fear my power!

Where's that link to random ME3 plots? If they're taking me as gospel, I can have some fun with it.

Anderson/thresher maw romance CONFIRMED! Urz indoctrinated by Tali! Kirrahe assumes direct control of Aria!

If Garrus dies in an awesome way, I can live with it. Emotionally, I won't be happy (and my wife will be PISSED), but if done well it would make for great storytelling. The same for Thane, but with a slightly lesser emotional connection.

But there's something about finishing the game with all the ME1 survivors alive to reap(heheh) the benefits of a saved galaxy when it's all said and done. !Shep, Garebear, Taltal, Wrexypoo, Lil Blue, Batman Villain, and One Who Didn't Get Nuked are like a big family, in my opinion.

Edit: Ah. Thanks for that, Cheez.

It got me good as I typed it. I think it's Anne-Moss' voice using that word that really made it work for me.

On my next playthrough i'm going to have to stop Garrus killing Sidonis, in case that's the difference in whether my buddy lives or dies.

Adding Anderson/TM romance as a confirmed feature.



Kidding aside, sorry for being lousy at updating the thread lately, exams and stuff. I'll see that it gets properly even during those.

"Thresher Maw, I... I've been thinking. All these sleepless nights, I've wondered if we really had something together down on Akuze. You know the truth -- and only you -- that I was there. That I witnessed the whole thing. And that you spared me because we had something. One soldier to a monster."
