It may sound callous, but I don't really care about Garrus' mom at all. I don't want him to have any more tragedy in his life so I don't want her to die, but I'm just not interested in the terminal illness angle. I find it melodramatic and what's more, we've already got Thane going through that. Also, I've been wanting so much for them to explore Garrus' relationship with his father, I just feel like the illness thing isn't nearly as compelling as him having a father who hates guys who make their own rules just like him (not to mention his Spectre girlfriend, ::cough:: ).outmane wrote...
On other topics... someone asked about Garrus family, specifically his mom. I guess the outcome of that will depend also on where she is. Is she getting her treaments on the Salarian world or still on the Turian world? Did the tissue samples Garrus sent actually produce anything useful (medical research is a long process)?
I guess im the only one who thinks she might die. Maybe i prefer to think that and be surprised that she can be saved. If she is on Pavalen and in bedrest from an incurable illness when the evacuation start i dont think she will accept being taken off the planet over someone who can fight the reapers/ rebuild. I tend to think Garrus took it from her to be selfless (not sure this is the exact english term) and that he would be sad but also proud of her because he would have done the same thing if he was the ill one. Also Turians seem to be a pragmatic society, i dont see them evacuating hospitals during an invasion (well the doctors of course but not the patients), so if Garrus family doesnt have their own evacuation shuttle it doesnt look well.
If we get there jsut in time to save his mother but that costs many other civilians lives? Then my Shep would probably save her still or be very conflicted about it because of her Mindoir background. She lost her family and wouldnt want Garrus to lose his, even if it makes for some non-pragmatic decisions.
I hope we get to save / met his sister tho. And his father, if working for the military, might be an interesting NPC we get to argue with.
Plus, having never played it until just recently, I have a hard time feeling a connection with anything we learned in LotSB. The dossiers just felt kind of disconnected from the rest of the game to me, less like actual character development and more like some kind of easter egg. I'd hate for a significant amount of his interaction to be based on this one 'sick mother' story when he's got so much more to explore (and so little time left to do so).

hey what ever happened to that fan comicstrip where the turian councilor is taking on a mercenary, and he does his finger quote and dismisses them with an explosion?

Hmmmmmm thats actually a VERY good point. I applaud at this.Aris Ravenstar wrote...
Most of the iconic, earlier comic characters all had that 'I'm a hero, I don't kill' rule. Batman was one of the few heroes to bend that rule to its limit. Batman was (arguably) the original gritty superhero. It was his thing long before anybody knew who this upstart Punisher was. The nickname 'Space Batman' isn't about his methods so much as personality and inspiration.
One thing to understand is that the 'rule of cool' is very much in play here. If someone is closer to Zam Wessel than Boba Fett, it's still appropriate to choose Boba Fett as a moniker for them. Because Boba Fett is iconic. This is the difference between Batman and The Punisher. Batman is Batman. You don't have to know comics to know who Batman is.
Ok - why does that remind me of Assassin's Creed!?Cranbert wrote...

Oh, no hard feelings! Sorry if I sounded all 'SRS BZNS' in my lengthy post. It's really not that big of a deal what anyone calls him, it's just a silly nickname, I just wanted to take the opportunity to get my thoughts out on it since you'd mentioned it.ArcanaLegacy wrote...

Im guessing the comic book nerd inside got the better of me X3
And if it makes anyone feel any better, the more you say it - Space Batman does have a nicer ring to it.
Surprisingly enough Punisher isnt ALL THAT ruthless personality wise, which is why i made the comparison. He's only ruthless to criminals - murdering, causing threats, extortion in other means. Doing all this because of the deaths of his family and close friends. Wanting to bring down hell in the form of justice upon those who deserve it to prevent anything else like that to happen. Disregarding rules and the authorities. And he was a master marksman and tactician X3 So i always figured it fit quite well with Garrus personally. Sure not his family was killed, but his team was and wanting to bring down Sidonis. And wanting to bring justice to criminals in the renegade way he always seems think being right.Trying to make life easier of others. BUT now that you mention it, i see where you're coming from - the whole mainstream and "iconic" part. Batman is a classic. Its true you dont have to know comics to know about the guy XP Im sorry if my geekiness somehow offended anyone. We're all friends here. *headbumps all around*
See, this is what I want from a Vakarian family reunion, not some angsty hospital scene. And Papa Vakarian is so biased against Spectres that Shepard doesn't even have to be romancing Garrus for that to cause some tension. Obviously it wouldn't be quite as tense, but LI or not Papa Vakarian still won't be happy to see his son show up with half of his face scarred up, following dutifully behind that disgraced human Spectre.ArcanaLegacy wrote...
Plus, i saw this on one of the bioware pulse episodes and twitter, Casey and others mentioned that characters are scattered in the beginning. Most are dealing with "personal issues" during this critical time. When they join up, apparently, they will carry with them SOME of these issues. Shep will have to confront these in some form. Now while I dont mind clearing some of this issues, diving deeper into character backgrounds, I dont want this to be an all out personal mission quest after another. This is war. With all thats going on - wouldnt these "issues" be the least of Shepards concerns? Heck - she has to combine entire civilizations. Theres alot of things that need to get done. Im guessing this is going to be some kind of "Loyalty missions" all over again. Just random missions if we "have the time". Though Im sure they of course wont be called "loyalty" missions. And something tells me Garrus wants some closure with his dad, or want to confront him. Who knows - it could be apart of the story itself as we try to confront the turian civilization and his dad is there. Like Aris said, its also more "compelling". How steamed will he be when he discovers what his son has been up to, IF he discovers about Omega, and DUN DUN DUN - Shepard his girlfriend. A human AND a spectre. It just screams tension XP

. It wasnt the intention really. I guess since she is gonna die i would jsut prefer she does it in a somewhat heroic way (making sure a healthy Turian gets her place on the shuttle) then having Garrus worry about her and not being able to help. Id like him to be proud of her. No hospital scene needed and that way he doenst get a letter from Sol saying that he should have been there to save his family and that its all his fault. Id really hate.
