Sorry got a tad possessive of garrus ^_^ I had a feeling they'd make him be with someone else I just hope it wasn't just for the sake of it. Wait "them"? There's more than one person?

Well...*cough*... :?

But as long as you plan on romancing Garrus or knocking off a certain character, it need never see the light of day.  Or maybe BW will come to their senses and not implement it.  We'll see how it goes. :D

I've been considering redoing ME2 just to ensure that, but I don't want to gimp myself in ME3.  I'm waiting to see just how much I'll be shooting myself in the foot if I went ahead with it.  And yes, it's sad I'm even contemplating it for this, but this pairing with Garrus/[spoiler] is just so...out there...and...yes, insulting...it's driven me to that point.  I can think of a few far more appropriate hook-ups for the two characters, but these two together is just...no.

It's okay, I felt the same way when I first found out about it but I'm trying to stay chill about it because, like others say, there are ways around it.  I was actually raging at first which is really bizarre because I love non-Shepard pairings but this one...definitely not a fan.  I am interested in seeing how it plays out and under which circumstances.  If, for example, it occurs when Garrus was NOT recruited in ME1 then I will be very, very upset.  But if they take things like that into account then it'll be better, I think.  I'm just weirded out that they're doing this with Garrus of all characters...I thought Femshep was the exception to his interspecies attraction...I guess he was lying :P

Jesus, y'all, don't get all possessive with Garrus; remember, right now, we are all technically sharing him.

As for the UNWANTED CANON SHIPPING, it's obvious fandom trollbait, but I can't deny that they... I dunno, WORK together. He's definitely her type, and he likes women with spunk. And the fact that their relationship evolved like that way the hell out of nowhere somehow makes it... more realistic?

Probably because I've personally encountered so many WHAT THE HELL WHY ARE YOU TWO DATING situations in real life. And a large portion of them just... worked.

But seriously I hate how basically every fictional series out there can't have two people of the opposite sex just stay really good friends WHOOPS I JUST FORGOT THAT'S BASICALLY HOW THE GARRUSMANCE GOT STARTED IGNORE ME FOLKS.

That's what pissed me off a little, all that fuss in ME2 and now it's no problem Posted Image
I think after playing DA2 I was annoyed that bioware decided to make BOTH male love interests bang a certain party member in some fashion (Isabella). It soured the hawke relationship a bit because I knew if I didn’t romance fenris he’d just boink the nearest team member (and not leave her for 3 years when he did). And if I romanced anders well he boinked her already so that was fun to hear in conversation.

I was hoping they would stop this trend when they made ME3 but that's obviously not the case. I loved the idea that femshep was the exception , that she was SO SPECIAL he would over look her being human. This kind of...ruins that.

Oh, I love the idea of Garrus hooking up with someone besides Femshep---I just don't like the one Bioware is apparently pairing him with in the game.  To me, it doesn't make a lick of sense, but that's just how I see it.  Everyone likes something different :)

Nah, it's just proof that he really does value friendship and trust above physical attraction and sex.

Look at it this way: Now EVERYONE can experience Awkward Sexy Garrus, even if they don't boink him themselves.

... I need that PM too. TELL ME WHO TO BUMP OFF.

--I'm kidding, of course. ... Not about the PM, I do want to know who he romances so I can prepare myself appropriately. Maybe by reading fanfiction with the pairing so it makes more sense?

So, in conclusion... PM please? :wub:

--also I can't believe I de-lurked for this. I should be ashamed. ASHAMED.

I think it kinda-sorta does make sense, but I think they made better friends than lovers.

I'm just mostly pissed because a certain gruff and loyal marine is now FOREVER ALONE.

If one isn't romanced, they hook up.  That's the only condition I'm aware of...though I hope it 1)doesn't make it into game in the first place or 2)takes a hell of a lot more than that.  In order of preference. <_<

For me, it's not that I'm weirded out on the idea of Garrus hooking up, I just...expected (hoped?) it would be with someone that made more sense.  Namely his own species.  I would have loved to see him hook up with a nice turian lady, especially considering his not-really-into-cross-species roadbump thing.  (Okay, and it would mean I got to see female turians, so I'm not exactly a disinterested party.)

That's exactly what bothers me most.  It was SUCH A BIG DEAL GOING OUT WITH A NON-TURIAN OMG HOW CAN WE DO IT and now it's like that whole thing was just...a lie or something :P  Maybe Garrus thought saying that would be attractive to another species?  Who knows with the kind of research he was doing!

I agree, they would make far better friends than lovers.  I still don't think them being lovers makes a lick of sense. :P

That character is basically the one existing character that might be Garrus' type.
They could make a new character just to give Garrus a love interest...but that might be a bit odd and excessive.

Yeah, we share him meta-verse, but not in-verse. :P I will respect your perspective on those two, even if I disagree with your assessment100%.  In the spirit of communal Garrus obsession, I extend to you this Garrus Plushy of Peace and Harmony.  Please forgive the stains.

It makes more sense in my headcanon.  You... probably don't want me to explain my headcanon.

Dammit, really? *^above posts regarding non-shep/garrus hook ups* That drove me rather batty in DA2 with Fenris. And, yes, because of all the fuss over 'no one else ever caught my eye" (insert: no non-turian's ever done it for me) just seems to be an utter non-issue with someone else. *grumps*

Thaaaat said... to be fair, I'm sure the writers all have their own in-jokes/what-ifs/creator-musings, little tid-bits they share with us in-game in small ways. So I'll try to look at this instance as something of the same. And, well, my main Shep is all Garrus so I'll also hope not to encounter it in-game whatsoever (please no bugs on this... please, please, please!)

Also dying to know who this supposed hook up is, but if its who I think I don't think I want another reason to dislike her. ¬.¬

I'm pretty certain there's an option NOT to recruit one of them so then the romance won't happen since only one will be on the ship.  But we'll see when the game comes out...

I also think it's really bizarre that they'd put him in another interspecies relationship IN GAME.  Since we're apparently not getting female Turians, I guess they decided to go with what they had.  I don't know.  To me, it makes the Garrus/Femshep romance seem less special now...I know I should love it and be happy with whatever Bioware does with Garrus but that's just how I feel about it :/

Garrus and Ashley would be pretty hot, I must admit.  I'd actually go for that more than the one happening in game, regardless of the interspecies stuff.

One question is whether Garrus likes Ashley.

Considering how he calls her "Williams" instead of "Ashley" or "Ash" (he calls the other characters by their given names), I get the impression that he views her in a professional or formal way rather than a friend, exactly.
