Garrus: "Hey Commander Shepard, I'm Garrus. I couldn't find any evidence against Saren."
Shepard: "No problem, I'll do it myself."

G: "Hey Shepard, I tried to catch an evil scientist, but he escaped"
S: "I'll help you."

G: "Shepard, you're alive. These evil mercs try to kill me!"
S: "I'll deal with them!"

G: "I put my own squad together, like you did."
S: "Awesome!"
G: "They are all dead."
S: "Hmmm"

K: "Shepard, there's this traitor..."
S: *sigh*

Well put! Garrus is whining whuss, even Kaidan is more BADass!

I'm sorry I think somebody somewhere said Tali was badass. If so, please break me off on some of the weed you're smoking. This comment seriously gave me stomach cramps (from laughter that is).

[Clonedzero]

Tali is a horrible character. and she's not even remotely badass by any definition of the term.
stop saying she is. ugh.

damn tali fans will claim anything.

[Abispa]

Maybe the people who think Tali is a bad ass are assuming we're talking about personal hygiene.

On a side note, what about Kid Rock's Bad Ass Beer? Is that BAD ASS Beer, or BAD Ass Beer?

If Garrus is Batman, Zaeed is Boba Fett. Both are incredible warriors. I think I fight between them would hours. But in the end, Zaeed is just too experienced in one-on-one conflicts.

Wow, way to crap all over Zaeed, dude. I mean, Bobba Fett? Incredible warrior!? Doesn't he share the same DNA as the those Keystone Cops wannabes, the Imperial Stormtroopers (sci-fi equivelent of DA2's Templars)? Wasn't he taken out ACCIDENTALLY by a blind man wielding a stick? An appetizer for some stupid mouth-in-the-desert thing?

Yeah, Boba Fett,  the guy who (and even that ****** Lucas admitted this, so it is canon) killed the Sarlacc after it ate him, fought Jedi, is a billionaire, and restarted the Mandalorians. 

Oh, and interestingly enough, Fett almost took out Luke. Tied him up, and was going to stun him. It was blind and unpredictable luck that Solo knocked him off the balcony, nothing more.

Garrus, being a turian, was able to take hits that would've killed Zaeed, because he's got an exoskeleton.

Nice post but my inner lore**** wanted this to be clear, turians don't literally have an "exoskeleton". Their plates don't offer any kind of protection except against radiation, and they are sensitive to pressure. If I remember correctly, the codex compares them to human nails.  Furthermore, there are many real life instances of people surviving gun shots to the head. It's not common, but it happens a lot more often than people think. On the other hand, you don't even need to be hit directly by a rocket to be blown up by it...

Still, Garrus's outter hide is tougher than human flesh. Hell, even Grunt, a Krogan probably four times Garrus's strenghth admitted that Turians require a lot of work to kill. I believe he used the phrase "work the blade" for Turian dissection, while describing humans as "soft".

But that's not really the point. Garrus, being the God-Tier bad ass that he is, survived and was on the verge of recovering from a gunship shooting him with a mini gun! Even Shepard would've died from that. This is because Turians have tougher skin than the other races. Fingernails are tough, and several inches of pure fingernail-like material making up the surface layer of a organic life form would be like the trunk of an oak at the very least. 

(part of this may also be because Garrus was wearing armor that dwarfed anything Shepard or Zaeed wore, but we know that the bullets still penetrated the suit, because Garrus was bleeding.)

Now tell me honestly, if you had a hide that was at least as sturdy as a few inches of an oak tree, and a thick suit of armor that could probably take several hits before being pierced, wouldn't you rather risk taking a small missile to the chest knowing that there's a possibility that you might survive, rather than having someone hold you down and shoot you with even the smallest hand gun in the most valuable part of your anatomy?

OT: Forgive me for continuing the off-topic discussion, but Boba Fett is indeed awesome, even though I'm only just getting through his childhood books (and kinda got distracted by the Republic Commando/Imperial Commando books, which I'm finishing now, the movies didn't do the clones justice, even the regular troopers).

Back on topic: Garrus holds my Shep's heart, that's enough for her, badass or not.

 garrus is no badass.. he is a directionless fool 

Garrus: "I'm not what you'd call a good Turian. First I left the
military, because when a good Turian hears a bad order, he follows it!
And that ain't me! Then I joined C-Sec. But I couldn't deal with the
red tape, man! I gotta do things MY way! Then we went after that
salarian doctor. I was going to kill him! But then you convinced me to
turn him into the authorities. Then... you died... and I started a
vigilante group! Yeah! I AM the law! But then Sidonis said "Hey Garrus
meet me way over on the other side of Omega, I have to tell you
something, I got a job" and I said OK! Because telling him to come back
to base, or tell me over the radio, or taking my team with me to a job
would have been... um... well anyway, my whole team got killed, and I
was trapped, but you saved me! Then I was going to KILL Sidonis for
what he did, and you convinced me not to."

Shepard: "Wow, Garrus, it
really sounds like you're made of fail. I mean, seriously, everything
you've done, you've made a royal ****-up of. And everything you take a
stand on, I've just told you to do something else, and you've done it,
and thanked me for it. I hope I don't die after this mission. I'd hate
to see how you handle being on your own again, without me to dictate
your actions and morals to you."

Everyone on Shepard's team is a badass.

Even Jacob, considering that he's the one "normal" guy on a team of supersoldiers, and that he saved the Council from batarian terrorists. Hell, the fact that he's with Cerberus and STILL doesn't trust TIM is reason enough for me to think he's a badass.

[Hathur]

While I love Garrus as a character, he's no "badass" ... Garrus is a lost, confused & frustrated soul. He's a man / Turian struggling to find a place for himself in the universe - a purpose, direction.

If anything, he's the farthest thing from "badass" ... he's a highly skilled warrior with a troubled psyche who struggles with his emotions and needs guidance... he uses his skills as a warrior to mask his flaws and puts on the impression he is "badass".

This, however, in no way diminishes him as a character... if anything, there is far more to admire in him than your traditional stereotypical badass character (i.e. Zaeed... tough grizzled warrior who makes no apologies for doing things his way.. he knows who and what he is and accepts it.. he has no doubts whatsoever as to his own identity.. good or bad as it may be).

I find Garrus far more admirable because he is someone trying to portray himself as a badass, yet the whole while is in a constant inner battle to find his identity & path in life.

Garrus is a sheep with fangs & claws.... fortunately he has Shepard to guide him on his way in life. And I love him just the way he is

No, no he's not. He's a great character, but he's anything BUT badass.

[Hatchetman77]

Garrus is one of the best bromances, but I'd put Wrex for the best ME badass.

[RainyDayLover]

While I love Garrus, he's got nothin' on Wrex in terms of badassery.

[Errol Dnamyx]

Is Garrus in your list of Video Game Biggest Failures?

Yus.

[littlevmills]

I don't know if he's a top badass but the dude suffers a mortal wound and goes back to work after getting it patched up! That's got to count for something. That being said I'm pretty sure everyone suffers a mortal wound working with Shep sooner or later!

[Antivenger]

"Scoped" and "Dropped" does NOT rhyme. Damn translators.

[stuboy52]

as they say "only thing more badass than garrus is his gun"

[Kronner]

No.

I never understood what made him badass to some people.

[Lady Luck]

^Thank God for opinions

[stuboy52]

now that i think about it garrus is more cool than badass because with paragon shep he isnt like the renegade

[thatguy212]

Did Garrus even take that missile to the face? To me it looks like he was just hit with the explosion

[rolson00]

i love it when he shouts "scratch one!"
