Spaedar: Are you saving Kaidan at Virmire so you can see him and Garrus interact again in ME3?

I ship him with Kaidan, personally, and I am one of those Garrus loving gay fanboys who can't pin him as strictly "into females" because of the gender neutral replies and my personal experiences with this character. Plus turians and their culture, though I'm sure I'm probably fairly alone in feeling this too. The Kaidan thing is however a bit of stretch in my imagination I admit, but I loved their banter a lot in Mass Effect and thought they'd make a very cute couple. ^^;
Hope my 2 cents doesn't rub anyone the wrong way.
It's hard for me to see Garrus like that. But I hope that he is a same sex LI in ME3 for everyone else out there.

Im pretty sure if you were to really rub someone the wrong way in here... well we spooked them off a long time ago.
Theres fair part of the Garrus fans who ship him with their maleShep.
I have to say in a Kaidan/Garrus pairing tho, Garrus woulnt be the badass one with the most initiative. Quite diffrent then with Shep but it could balance out pretty well (like a renegade femshep/Kaidan deal)

Garrus has a self-deprecating humility/false bravado about him. After everything he's been through, he probably certainly feels like he's been a "bad turian." Of course, that only extends insofar as his reluctance to sit idly by while being BS'd by superiors, which is what the line was referring to. But I think it's pretty clear, at least for me, that he displays some of the best qualities of a "good turian" in spite of what less than stellar circumstances throw his way. He is loyal to a fault, recklessly courageous, has a heart of gold, takes his responsibilities seriously, genuinely cares for those under his command, and never runs from a fight (the only time you'll see a turian's back is when they're dead). Being a "bad turian" or a "bad human" should have nothing to do with romantic preferences as they really aren't related at all. Just my take. ^^
I see how that would not affect an interspecies relationship but maybe it would have an impact if romancing someone of your own species. Here in America (even in French Canada where im from) being a rebel is seen as a quality but in a more restrictive culture it might not be the case. I think Garrus has all the good turian qualities and then some but a normal lady Turian looking for the father of her children might think diffrently.
That said I could certainly see Garrus with a badass Turian gal. But she would have to be open to his less conventional views. Maybe someone who has been on the Citadel andmet other species ad opened herself to other cultures. They could hate politicians together
There's got to be more than one rebel out there in the Hierarchy.
I can't say much more because I'd be crossing over into ME3 spoiler territory...but we're overblowing his whole "outcast" status. He's really not the type of rebel some think he is...and he does very well for himself. Anyway, I'll shut up now, but I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised at how BW has developed/revealed his character in ME3...I know I was pleasantly, er, pleased.
Er...where was I going with this? Oh, right. Garrus should have no problems with the turian ladies. I'm sure he'd rub many of them all the right ways.

My headcanon is that Garrus could have easily been a playa since feamle turians approached garrus all the time. But he was too focused and busy with work to notice or pay attention to it.
That's pretty close to my headcanon too. He seems too busy and obsessive to be the turian Zevran.

Being entirely serious for a moment, I would have to agree as well. Now if you will all excuse me, I need to crawl into bed before I pass out. Being this tired does weird things to what's left of my brain. Garrus plushies to all and to all a good night.

That makes it sounds like Tali has been pining for Garrus all along, which I'm pretty sure isn't true. At least I hope not. I really don't like the idea of Tali and Shepard in a "competition" for Garrus, or vice versa. That's just so....unecessary and juvenile.
Don't worry, I was only joking...

Yessss, Team Dextro threesome! Because no matter what someone is getting some <33333
"If Tali and Garrus got married, they'd have no sex life at all, because they'd spend all day cleaning up engines and calibrating guns."
Haha where did this quote come from? I don't remember reading it but it's funny!
I will never think of Team Dextro again as nothing less than a threesome. <33 If bioware did this it would be my #1 game for life.
And I found that comment from a youtube video and decided to save that comment. Saddly I forgot which video and who wrote it. >.>

Okay, done.
Now on to Garrus...
Here's a Garrus papercraft!

You know, references to Garrus being fairly young and inexperienced in ME1 kind of confused me for one reason: Why the hell would a rookie (or relative rookie) be asked to investigate Saren? Granted, he's told to back off and one gets the feeling the counsel didn't give the investigation all the attention/resources it merited, but all the same.... just not the kind of thing I thought you'd dole out to a young cop/investigator, still earning his stripes. <--- which is all to say I wouldn't be surprised to find out there's been more going on there than Bioware felt like/was able to divulge. I just hope new information is provided via great conversations/storyline and not just some background filler info we get 'Oh, hey, btw -- some things you never knew Garrus was up to!' in a codex or something. *crosses fingers*
And with that random bit of rambling.... off to bed!

How come everytime I look at it all I can imagine him saying is "Da de da de dum" over and over again?
Other than that he does look nice.

Harkin may not be feeling the same way of course. Not after I let Garrus shoot him. He's an even bigger idiot than I thought if he's going to try and get revenge. Hehehehe... I hope he does try. This time I won't "shoot him in the leg" as FemShep put it.

What you're imagining is better than knowing what he actually says and having that repeat over and over in your head. LOL.
But! He's so adorable! I just had to use it. XD

That one is cute, Peppar. It certainly is an attention stealer.
And as for team dextro threesome, wouldn't that be kinda dangerous? With their different anatomy and all? Or does that make it even more exciting?

Damn, that tale is positively cringe-worthy. Poor Garrus, and poor Thane. *snicker*
And I'm definitely up for seeing a bit of Team Dextro. It would be.... an educating experience to say the least. For them I mean.
