Is Vega and Shepard flirting? I can't tell and I don't want to have to yell at my screen calling her a shameless hussy like I had to with Jacob.

. . . sort of? I got the impression (perhaps wrongly) that they were "flirthing" not necessarily because they were interested in each other, but more because it was just the first witty retort that sprang to mind, and they were giving each other a hard time. I do that all the time, personally, so it didn't strike me as odd.

. . . though now that I think on it, it explains a lot about my misunderstandings in high school. :blink:

I swear that whole Jacob thing scarred me. It was like watching a trainwreck, no matter how hard you try to look away you can't and can only stare in open mouthed horror. As long as no ninjamancing occurs than I guess it's fine if they 'play' around. Garrus is the only one for my Shep. >.>

weh I can't take this anymore, can someone PM the script so I can read the ending? I already know most of it but I want to see what happens exactly without watching the video.

i bloody adore Vega so far. and i'm only about 8 hours into the game. he makes me so happy. he kinda reminds me of a golden retriever. he's happy and jolly and loyal.

and the Tali/Garrus thing... i saw the video and it made me squee. i know. i will never get it myself... (unless i play a boyshep) but... still. its wicked cute.

k. back to playing. i'm ignoring everything i know about the endings. cause i want to have fun with this. and i wont if i think about how depressing that is. :(
HEADCANON WILL SAVE US ALL.



also. Cortez makes me SO HAPPY. and sad. really really ****ing sad cause of his situation. like i started crying. but that they put him in ... "i lost my husband"  .... thank you for that one BW. it doesnt make up for the endings... but it helps.

I love the squad banter on the Normandy. Like when Garrus appears in the cockpit with Joker and they keep telling jokes.

The story here has even more weight than the last game. You talk your squadmates and they actually have a lot to say. Just talked to Garrus after Thessia. That was...emotional.

Love the Garrus banter, his pissing contest with James, his snarking at Legion. he is such a babe in this game. It makes up for any disappointment that may or may not come. And Tali warning Shepard to watch her back when Garrus goes on about the chocolate Dr. Michele sent him? There is a doctor Shep may need to have words with.

For those of you still bummed out about the ending and its relation to Garrus, I think I have something that will cheer you up.

WARNING: This does have some ending spoilers. Also, a little slow to start. Give it time. Heh heh

 Just did the Grissom Academy mission. Brought Garrus along (naturally) and Jack has one of the best lines ever.
"Bite me, Garrus. Better yet, bite her, that's probably how she likes it."

:lol: Never change, Jack.

Yeah, I've never really been a Jack fan particularly, but I absolutely adore her in this. I think I'm making a Bro!Shep next just to romance her.

Her line about Garrus certainly helped. ;)

Haha, that line was great. I was super satisfied with how the Garrusmance was handled in this game, all the little acknowledgments and stuff... I can live without the ending (well, specifically bits that happen after the "Big Choice") but the rest of the game, especially in this regard, was super good.

Ok, just finished the game. Just have to say I loved the game to death. Now about the ending...

HUUUUGE ENDING SPOILERS till the end of my post:

I'm in tears. Of rage. I hated every second of it. Except when I discovered I had unlocked the three endings, Destroy, Control and Merge. I guess I was paragon enough that that stupid kid liked me enough to give me choice.
Oh, and I saved Earth. Ok, I cracked a smile there. I was happy to have saved humanity's home.

I GOT A LIARA FLASHBACK. BIOWARE, I WAS JUST STARTING TO LIKE HER, what is wrong with you.

But Shep died. I did every side quest I could and she still died. Didn't do any multiplayer, that's probably why. Hell, I'm not even sure she died, THEY DIDN'T SHOW ME ANYTHING. Only Joker, Javik and Garrus coming out off the Normandy and staring at their new "home". Oh, and for so long I had been wondering what the hell Joker was doing anywhere near the Charon relay when things went to hell.

After baiting us with a happy ending. After hearing Garrus pleading Shep to come back alive and her willing to adopt turian and human babies.

And then I got that incredibly CHEESY scene with the kid and the grandpa. "Tell me another story about the Shepard". Whatever. I'll tell you what happened, kid. The Reapers' creators were incredible morons who thought synthetics could not live with organics for... some reason, Shep decided to destroy them and their stupid plans once and for all, survived the explosion (Akuze survivor, she can pull it off :D) Joker DID NOT flee the battle like an idiot and they all reunited on the only part destroyed Earth (this part of the actual ending I'm keeping). And then Garrus and Shep had adopted babies and moved somewhere warm and tropical. Like Southern France, I guess. Ok, not tropical. Still warm.

There. Headcanon. That's how my ME3 will end, from now on. I could go on (lots of ideas for these two), but I believe my rant was long enough. I cannot believe how awful that ending truly was.

I'm sorry about the rant. I knew about the endings and this still kicked me in the nuts (so to speak) so hard. I'm so damn depressed. I'm not even sure I want to play the game anymore. One thing is certain, I will NEVER play that last mission again. Pure torture.

I need hugs.

What was your EMS? You need 4000 to survive the destroy ending if you can convince TIM, 5000 otherwise.
Also, in case you didnt know, your galactic readiness (which you cana only increase through multiplayer) is the percentage of your total military strength that translates to your effecctive military strength. For example, if you have 1000 TMS and 50% GR, your EMS will be 500.

I don't have Garrus as my LI for any I plan on importing, but he is my femShep's bro. More so than Kaidan will ever be.

I love his trip with Shepard and their shooting match. I let him win.

"I'm Garrus Varkarian and this is my favorite spot on the Citadel." Loved it.

Yeah I got lower than 4000. Some side quests were bugged, I could not finish them for some reason. I got something like 3976 or something like that... my Paragon score wasn't high enough anyway to convince TIM. Screw paragades, apparently. That'll teach me.

... and wow, didn't my post sound bitter. Sorry again, guys. Regardless, I'm in full denial of the endings :lol: Ok enough negativity. Going to bed.

Well, I'm glad to be able to post again. Lurking really doesn't suit me =D ME3 currently at 31% install, me all spoiler-ed up and ready to tackle that b**** of an ending. I never intended my Shep to live, but it sucks that there isn't an option to be with your crew D8 If DLCs come out, sure I'll play them. I love dark, twisted endings if they're written well....but these? -shakes head-

And more on topic, Garrus....you are absolutely awesome...just wait till my F!Shep sees ya ;D -jumping turians ensues-

I lol'd whenever I recall Bioware saying that multiplayer is optional for the best ending.

Then again, they did promise that the endings were supposed to tie up loose ends....

Oh, by the way, Garrus ain't giving up his calibrations so easily... Atleast people tend to notice it and joke about it now in ME3, which made me laugh a lot. ;D

Yeah, I can already tell I'll be forced to play multiplayer. So many bloody side quests just scanning planets for artifacts. Not sure I like having to flee a system everytime I scan just so the Reapers don't get me. Is it true side quests are timed? If so I'm kinda screwed in that regard... At least Garrus is with me. Also Turians FTW.

Some side quests are timed, like the bomb on Tuchunka, Grissom Academy and a couple of the Citadel "fetch-quests". Basically, just do them all before doing the Priority missions, and you should be safe.

I'm just annoyed that the EMS score is halved by the GAW thing. Its near impossible to get a rating of 4000 or 5000 on single player alone.

Soooo I just got done with the date scene

I squee'd so hard but then started to tear up when shep said: "The only thing that made leaving Earth bearable was knowing you were out there somewhere" That whole exchange just ugh, I have too many feelings.
I was just saying in the Thane thread that nothing lasts forever but now I'm eating those words *dies a little*

It's kinda hard to finish sidequests when the quest logs are so vague. Plus the bloody reapers pushing me out if a system within seconds. When does Garrus come up to your cabin? I just had Liara come up with her sparkly record book.

Spoilery feels ahead!

Well here we are; the release day of the game here in the UK. I have to say that I've reached the point where I'm so grateful that I was spoiled for the endings (almost a week ago now) because the idea of finding them out after playing through the whole game... it would have been utterly traumatising. Finding out was pretty damn difficult - I did indeed have quite a few creys over it all. Then I thought that since I was spoiled for the ending, I would pamper myself with the new Garrus/Femshep romance scenes because I've always found that the best cure for sadness is cotton wooling yourself with stuff that makes you grin like an idiot. I don't regret spoiling myself for those scenes either; it made things fluffy round the edges, and the more I watch them, the happier I get, so I can only imagine by the time I get to them in game I'll be bouncing off the walls squealing about my ship and that they are the shippiest ship of all the ships that ever shipped!

I think the hardest part of the endings though was the fact that Femshep and Garrus genuinely believed that they'd face the end together, and they'd either die fighting side-by-side, or they'd pull through and go off and have a life with children and a house and lots and lots of love. But there is always headcannon, and with a fail of an ending that Bioware gave us, it really isn't difficult to believe that they found each other again after the victory, the galaxy a little bit broken but belonging to the people that fought for it, and my god, would there be one epic reunion when they saw each other again. I kind of like to imagine Femshep, battered and bruised after getting back to Earth, trying to keep her cool as she searches around before spotting him, and he's there and he's alive and real and she just runs across the room and flings herself into a giant tackle hug with her turian because they made it back. And who cares if they're now making out in full view of everyone, they don't care about the taboo on human/turian relationships godamnit; they're Shepard and Vakarian and this is now their favourite place on the planet. Then 
they'd head to the Normandy after hearing it crash landed on Earth, and stumble into Shep's quarters (which they quickly decided would become THEIR quarters, by the way) before stripping each other's armor off, collapsing in a tangled heap on the bed and just laying there contentedly in the quiet together because they're too exhausted for anything else right now, thank you very much, there'll be so much time for that and more later.

I'm thankful that the romance scenes we got between them went above and beyond anything I thought we would get. The way they talk to each other is just beautiful, and there is absolutely no fear between them of letting each other know how they feel. No dancing around each other, no games, just "I love you", "I need you" and "I want to have children with you". They were completely honest with each other from the first day they met and that never changed. And the best part for me? The talk about meeting up in heaven. It's canon; whenever their time is, Shep and Garrus are booking out their spot in heaven and staying there for the long haul. They didn't just want a life together, they promised eternity to each other and that makes my tummy do happy flips of joy, because that's the one thing Bioware let us keep with the endings.

They will be together for as long as heaven exists, and that's all I could ever want for them.

How often can you btw even talk with Garrus aboard Normandy? Is it like in ME2 where you can talk to after about two main missions?
