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.

HEADCANON WILL SAVE US ALL.

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.

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.

"Bite me, Garrus. Better yet, bite her, that's probably how she likes it."

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."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.

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
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.Karrie788 wrote...
Ok, just finished the game. Just have to say I loved the game to death. Now about the ending...

And then Garrus and Shep had adopted babies and moved somewhere warm and tropical. Like Southern France, I guess. Ok, not tropical. Still warm.

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 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

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.

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*

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.
