Dreams are crazy sometimes. I mean really, cheating on Garrus? xD That would never happen.

Before ME2 was released, I had a dream that Shepard was fighting in a room oddly similar to the Collector ship with those moving platforms, and Garrus was a squadmate. This was around the time when everyone on the forums was worried about who would be brought back as a squadmate, and before I knew about the Collectors or any circular battle platforms.


True :P. Though in my dream, James smelled very good ;x;. Must've been hugging my boyfriends pillow, haha.

And that's pretty awesome, you must be a prophet then! Be sure to post any ME3 related dreams you have :P.

Not really a dream, but I've just had a feeling that ME3 would be awesome and there was nothing to worry about, even though I read some things early on (TIM and Cerberus-related) that I wasn't happy with - and this proved true for the Garrus romance at least, because it's perfect. I read the spoilers. >:D

That's good to hear ^^. I haven't read any spoilers (which is hard, because I always spoiler myself :P) but it's good to hear the Garrus romance won't be dissapointing. Guess I'll just have to wait and see in March how everything plays out.

I think BioWare pays even more attention to their fans than we realize. They've been reading the Garrus threads, for sure.

About ME3 predictions - I totally forgot about this one because it wasn't a dream, just one of those random things I planned out for my craziest Shepard's personal story, never posted anywhere, and never thought it would actually happen. Now something very close to that is a major ending spoiler. o_o This one isn't Garrus-related though.

I'm sure they do :). But really, it's the fans to play the game, so giving them what they want sometimes can be good.

And now I'm curious ;D.

I'm still hoping for a Saren/Shepard type of ending.

Minor spoilers? I don't think it's much of a spoiler, but I'll add a warning anyway.

I don't mind minor spoilers, but I'll ask again after I've played ME3 ^_^.

I was just playing my second playthrough of ME2 (yeah.. I'm a newb :P) and I did Garrus' recruitment mission first. Knowing beforehand that it was Garrus the mercs talked about was fun, because I shows how much of a badass he really is.

I knew before I played ME2 that Archangel was really Garrus. It was great to hear about everything he did knowing it was him, and seeing him fighting like a one-man army... my Shepards were so proud.

Am I allowed to post an ME3 picture of Garrus in this thread? It's not really a spoiler because its just a face shot but I wanted to ask before sharing it just in case.

As long as the picture doesn't spoil anything, it should be fine.

*wishes for artistic talant* Is dextro food only paste or... how does this allergy thing work?


Actually, the allergy/anaphylactic shock thing is a tad bit overblown by the fandom. An allergic reaction is certainly possible, but like any other allergy, it depends on the individual. It's in fact much more likely that dextro-amino based foodstuffs would pass harmlessly through the digestive tract. A human (or any other levo-based life form) wouldn't be able to live on dextro food, since their bodies wouldn't be able to extract any nourishment from it, but consumption is far from an automatic warrant for anaphylactic shock.

Also, word on the scientific street is that dextro-based proteins tend to be on the sweet side...


LOL, that reminds me of a fic where krogans were on the sweet side and Miranda had a huge sweet tooth and used a certain crewmember as a substitute for the stack of candy and chocolate she'd lost when they had to evacuate the Cerberus research station...

Well I'm a newbie to the forums so I don't know how to embed a picture anyway :blush:

Those who don't want to see--don't click!

For those that do--this is Garrus' "Oh crap" face.

Nice screenshots, I look forward to doing his Loyalty Quest ^^. Do you know how you make screenshots in ME2? I've tried using printscreen, but they don't show up in the Screenshot map my ME2 files has.

I use trial version of Fraps 'cause then I don't have to deal with reloading/minimizing for Print Screens pasting in a program like Paint...

and photobucket to upload images to share....

I used to renegade Garrus' loyalty mission but then I went Paragon and haven't gone back. I sometimes let him shoot Harkin though...

I decided to put some ME2 dialogue on my Ipod...my playlists are peppered with Garrus dialogue....I wonder if people notice when I momentarily go all swoony...

Out of all the Shepards I have planned, I'll have a hard time making any of them go the Paragon route on Garrus' loyalty mission. They're all so vengeful... but so are all of my favorite characters from games/movies/books, so it's no surprise I like to play Shepard that way. I even created a FemShep specifically to be more Paragon than the others, and somehow she turned into a "kill all the bad guys" vigilante. I have one or two Shepards who it might be in character for, so I'll wait and see what happens.

And a few of my FemSheps let Garrus shoot Harkin because he flirted with them in ME1. What a fun crowd they are.

@Pyn - so there isn't any way to make a screenshot without another programs? Weird, since they've got the map with the game files.

I was wondering about something.. I've got 2 femsheps now, and both are paragon.. I tried playing renegade but hearing sheps voice be so.. mean and well, renegade against everyone just makes me feel so bad :c. how do you guys deal with that? the two morality's with the same voice.

I always have a hard time understanding why some people will go for torture and shoot Harkin in the leg but would rather not go for clean death and kill Sidonis.

I guess its my own videogame sensibility. Shooting dudes on screen I have no problem. But I would have to roleplay a really ruthless character to torture someone so I rarely do it.

It reminds me of one of Garrus quote about torture not being effective because after a while the person would say anything to make it stop. Its something he says if you bring him on the Purgatory.

Good question there

I have 1 Shepard per class (3males 3 females/ 3 renegade 3 paragon) so I got used to seeing the same dialogue with diffrent voices and to imagine diffrent intentions behind it...

what I usually do when I roleplay a Shep is not go just for full paragon / renegade. I try to give them things they are very attached to and things they dislike and big turning points in their lives that events of the game will bring.


Like my canon Shep was very bitter after the Horizon events and even if shes mostly paragon I had her use her renegade tone for a little while after that and tell some squaddies (Grunt and Miri if I recall) that we would only do their loyalty mission if we had time because she wanted to be left alone.

So I guess what Im saying is that it might be easier if you dont always go full renegade but choose some reasons why your Shep would yell/be ****y (not liking aliens, not liking wasting time, not liking working for Cerberus, etc) and jsut roleplay that when it makes sense to you.

You shouldnt worry about filling your renegade bar. As long as you take some interrupts and choose renegade outcomes, you could use mostly a friendly tone in convos and still end up with a full renegade bar.


...and ToP
