Am I the only one who misses Garrus's light armor? He's an Infiltrator, why in god's name is he wearing heavy armor? The same goes for Kaidan, too, borrowing Rip Hardcheese's armor and using an assault rifle are literally the worst possible combat choices he can make.


Miss it too...but mostly because the heavy armor doesn't allow me to enjoy his curves as much...I am bad I know.

LOL This!! <3:wub:
This doesn't make us bad..:whistle: I think..


Someone needs to draw a cartoon of Shepard ranting at a store clerk on the citadel about how no-one sells Light Turian armour any more, and how much more difficult it is for her to ogle her gunnery officer's ass when he wears heavy armour. Posted Image


<3  ALL!  ^ ^ ^ ^

Best post of the day. Posted Image So simple yet effective.

@ BSN clans other than us going into depression[?] topic: I wouldnt really know - cuz like most, my time on BSN is now limited. I visit just this clan to see my fav clanmates *hugs all* and post some shenanigans. Ppl need to realize, Yes - this is a war story. Ppl WILL die. And it confirmed that this game WILL make ya cry. Heck, even in the VO sessions, the director and the actor themselves cry! If thats not a confirmation that this game is a tear jerker that even the creators are crying - then i dont know what is. But there are happy and silly times. Its not all sadness. Gotta look at the experience as a whole. This grand journey with the ppl we care about at our side and the epicness we'll all have, then thinking "OMG ______ IS GONNA DIE!" Besides the obvious Garrusmance, Im looking forward to all the banter b/w squaddies. Its been upped to such an incredible notch that it makes me giddy! <3

I recently ran through the demo again and tried to get Garrus to go up the first ladder in the last mission, just to see how the animation looked on him. Once at the top I watched the ladder, Liara came up and then I waited for Garrus... he didn't come. I turn around to find him right behind me. Apparently he had ran all the way around to take the stairs instead. Posted Image

ROFL!
That hasnt havent to me. Its always Liara who runs to the stairs. Garrus is leaping and climbing everything, heh.
Am I the only one that had an occurence where Garrus tried to seduce me mid mission?Posted Image
It that section with the 2floors. I went upstairs; Garrus and Liara stayed below. Once the battle ended, I explored abit in the front of the 2nd floor. Was at a dark shady dead end, [thought i saw some weird mark on the wall] and next thing I know - I turn around and Garrus is standing there extremely close to me. XDDDD And liara was still downstairs!
Oh Garrus. Trying to have a sexy moment with me in a shady spot in private mid-mission? You naughty lil turian.....

I love what you wrote !

All those deliberatly obscure endings can be interpreted one way or the other. They all are unclear enough to let us headcanon most of the stuff. (Im already seeing the troll posts about how their favorite squaddy survived but yours didnt <_<)

But a ME game full of Garrus awsomeness, his adorable romance, the snarktastic quips and silly banters... that is priceless :police:

That is actually one of my favorite Garrus pic. It comes from Tali's trial. I jsut like having Garrus all quiet like, observing attentively Shep telling off the quarian admiralty.

Plus the lighting is jsut georgous.

I've attempted to grey some stuff below just in case you don't want to see anything at all. Like my last post, nothing specific, but I'd rather be safe.

I think we all get that this is a war story and death is an inevitable part of war, but knowing ahead of time what happens to characters we've become attached to over 5 years is problematic.

Take me for example. I'm now a massive fan of the show Criminal Minds. I started watching random episodes, and have since bought the first four seasons of the show. Now back when I saw it for the first time, I had no way of knowing when these episodes were in the plot (turns out they're mostly from seasons 4 and beyond), but by watching those episodes I had accidentally spoiled a lot of plot points.

Whenever one of the characters on the show finds themselves in mortal peril I know that, somehow, they'll make it out alive. I don't get to experience that range of emotions, the fear, the panic, the hope, and the joy when they are saved by whatever. I know they'll survive.

The reverse applies too. Although I haven't sought spoilers (some sons of [naughty] on a few threads have caught me out) it's safe to assume they involve people dying. So now, when players pick up the game it's no longer a open ended RPG. Since you know character X can die unless you do Y and Z, anyone with an attachment to character X is going to play to make sure they survive.

Crap, can't get grey text to work. If you don't want vague musings on spoilers, stop here!!!!!!!!!













Now what if (again, don't know if this is one of the "spoilers or not")  you know nobody's getting out of this alive. True, there may be some great banter, some witty dialog, mandible caressing, what have you, but you're now tainted with the knowledge that at some point it's all going to hell, and you're all going to die.

With that, it's understandable why people are pissed, losing their heads. If indeed there is no way, no choice, no amount of preparedness that'll see Shep and Co through the fight, that's one hell of a sucker punch. If this were allowed to develop itself naturally throughout the course of the game, you'd have all those background experiences to lead you up to the final curtain. It would be an emotional journey, with a tragic ending. I'm not so sure that most people are mad at the apparent lack of a "everyone gets out alive" ending. I think most people are angry about knowing ahead of time, and having to bare that burden of knowledge throughout the entire game.

@shygravel Thank you <3
@ eshrafel Thank you, but unfortunately, my current gaming is limited to the xbox 360, so I will have to sit this one out.

Golden Garrus: The funny thing is, I chose the exact same colors for my Turian Sentinel 2 weeks ago. It looks really nice, especially with the Tech-Armor on. The DLC outfit in ME2 wasn't as hot as I thought, Jack's on the other hand was pretty awesome (space-chick sunglasses? check. Leather Jacket? Check.)

The endings... I hope ArcanaLegacy is right, it sounds reasonable after all.

A sudden thoguht: I hope femshep is allowed to have some degree of emotional breakdown, be it aggression or despair. She's being tough all the time, but there's the weight of an entire galaxy on her shoulders. To her crew, she is always the leader, faultless, unwavering, like Chakwas said: "Solid as a rock...". But in her private quarters, I could see this turning into quite the opposite. tears, aggression, despair. And only one special turian who could calm her down. *Garrus hug* D'aww.

Weird. I'm usually not into this kind of stuff. Bioware is manipulating my brain wires.



EDIT: Response to spoilerfishy post:
@AgentMulder

One thing would be loosing the special someone, probably one of "Biowares best characters ever". The other would be, that me atleast, could not go back to ME 1 /2, ever. It would be like seing ghosts, or living through a bad dream again. And again. *shudders*

And oh gawd - I had a feeling that was gonna start happening. The whole "Haha! ______ dies! You all suck! Take that!" immaturity. I actually love all the characters. Its their pros & cons that I love. Each character isnt perfect - and that makes the interaction and personalities more believable. Yes, I disagree with Ash's view on aliens in me1, but i see why she was like that. I dislike Miranda's habit of trying to control everything i do and put TIM this and TIM that 1st, but that's who she respected [past tense since she left....]. I disliked Jacob's negativity at times. But the chances were slim, and its understandable that not everyone can be so "We totally got this! We'll succeed!".

And yes - a whole game of Garrus loving since they are officially together is gonna be awesome! And I LOVE the fact, that the game WILL actually cater to sheps current romance. So in our case, theres gonna be some chats and squad banter about Garrus being with Shep and vice versa.
Heres an interesting read by Mac Walters about the romances and character moments in me3.

 @ AgentMulder
Coming on the BSN boards implies chances to be spoiled, thats no one elses fault but their own :unsure:


Also all the endings are obscure enough to give place to many interpretations. To stay away from spoilers, heres a Garrus example:

Do FemShep and Garrus get intimate before hitting the Omega4 relay ? If you feel secure enough to give an interpretation to the headbump, youll be fine with giving an interpretation to the 'good ending'.

Thanks! I agree with you, Aria is pretty cool. I always wished that you could talk to her more. She just fits my Renegade FemShep's personality. They would tear up Omega if they became buds! :D

Awesome drawing! (specially the first one) And with pencil. And smudging! Do you prefer smudging with fingers or do you use cotton swabs? When I get caught up drawing, especially with coal pencils it always gets messy because I frantically alternate between fingertips and the pencil. 2hrs later *looks like a chimney sweep* Done! :lol:

Aww, I'd like to play, but the xbox is being camped. Been waiting to jump into a few matches with you guys, but it seems that you play when my other half is playing. :unsure: I have to go pinch someone.

This thread is like a breath of fresh air compared to all the other ones. So much happiness [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/w00t.png[/smilie] and Garrus :wub:
Anyway just wanted to say hi! The reason I actually started playing Mass Effect was Garrus, I saw some artwork of him and thought that the idea of romancing an alien is quite interesting. (I played ME2 first). Really thankful that Bioware included him, I might have missed out on (hopefully) 3 great games.

I have read a hell of a lot of spoilers at this point and have recently learned some information that indicates that the endings for us don't have to be...quite as nasty as I thought if we do certain things that I kind of don't feel like spoiling out loud here. I still have some serious problems with the endings - well, particular parts of all the endings - but that's not what this thread is about. Anyone know if there are people doing Garrus romance playthroughs? The ones I've been following have been FemShep/Liara/Samantha and ManShep/Kaidan - s/s Kaidan confirmed, by the way :) - and would love to hear if anyone's doing the Garrus romance yet and reporting back!  :)

enormousmoonboots - I miss Garrus' light armor too.  dem skinny legs!
