Yeah, and tell them that Shepard is the one doing the call, because he's spot free. It's not like he's with some questional group or something...

Planning to murder somebody is a good reason.

You're not being consistent. Not to mention your virtual boner for the Reapers mean you're willingly giving up trillions of lives for the off-chance of not getting offed which completely butchers your above statement. Your word doesn't really carry that much weight, all things considered.

And really, you are trying way, way, WAY too hard to be like Zulu_DFA.

Pshh people and their 'tension'. Sidonis was dead the moment we laid eyes on him. The only reason I considered blocking the shot was so I could shoot Sidonis myself.

Garrus, you could have killed an innocent person by shooting into a crowd.

I am grounding you from calibrations until you learn your lesson.


Garrus don't miss yo.

So being wrong doesn't invalidate ones position, huh? I hope you will all remember this in ME3 when I'm fighting off Cerberus mooks armed with Collector tech and I have no rachni queen to back me up.

*headdesk*  Yes, getting a DETAIL wrong does not invalidate an entire ARGUMENT.

"A lot of people have plot armor.  Liara, Anderson, Joker, Chakwas..."

"CHAKWAS CAN DIE YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG HAHAHA."

"... 8| Yeah okay, bro, sorry I was wrong about Chakwas, but the rest still stand.  Plot armor exists.  Get over it."

Garrus was angry. Being angry caused him to make choices that put him in a situation where he would have died if Shepard had not saved him.


There is never any indication of this. Garrus was lured away, but Sidonis was gone. He returned to his hideout to find most of his men dead and the survivors under fire. Garrus, naturally, stayed to try and keep his men alive but once they died he had no way out. It had nothing to do with being reckless or angry on his part beyond his initial decision to go to Omega and work as a vigilante in the first place.

Apparently by indulging in his desires until the last possible minute and then hollowly lecturing him about right and wrong while they both scrub blood out of their armor.

Do I have to simplify my rhetoric further? Very well, I will endeavor too. Crap, shouldn't have used endeavor. Rhetoric isn't good either. Crap crap! Ok. Simplify! You can do this.

Shepard wants to help him not make similar decisions in the future, so that he will not end up in a situation where he will die if Shepard does not save him.

Probably should bust out the baby dictionary, just to be sure.

Paragon Shepard does not betray friends.  See Tali's loyalty mission.

Well Paragon Shepard does just that when he stands in the way when Garrus is trying to shoot Sidonis.

I would hardly call that betrayal. More like buying time to convince Garrus that killing Sidonis is not going to solve anything.

Because standing in your friend's way when he's being a royal ****** and telling him to get his head out of his anus is EXACTLY THE SAME AS selling him out and sending him into a trap.

Not the same, but still a betrayal.

I didn't know Convincing your friend not to kill someone is considered betrayal. Posted Image

But he must see it with his own eyes to believe it. That's why he's dismissing it all.

Yep, every time my best friend prevents me from punching someone in the face, she's betraying me.  We should totally be worst enemies now.  If she was really my best friend, she'd let my rage run unchecked.  Totally.

Please.  Garrus didn't feel betrayed afterwards, did he?  No, he thanked you, because he realized why you did what you did and understands that he was letting his anger rule his life.  He may have been a little pissed off and confused for a while at first, but like me with my best friend, he gets it.  Sometimes, the violence isn't worth it.  It's good to have friends to keep you from behaving badly.

By the way, I owe it to my BFF for talking me out of a lot of fights.  Seriously.  I was a violent little b*tch in high school.

That's something impulsive. What Garrus wanted was not an impulsive decision. It was something he thought long and hard about and planned. First degree, in other words.  Not what I'd call a crime of passion.

So...a friend stopping you from commiting GBH is not betraying you, but one who stops you from committing Murder is?  Are you serious?
