Just a quick question. I've just completed Sur'kesh...and apart from Jack, no one seems to acknowledge Shep/Garrus's relationship. Is it too early for other squaddies to comment on it? Does it have to be "locked" before they comment?
Spoilers ahead!
Take Garrus with you in the Quarian missions, along with Tali, even if you don't have to take Tali. She'll comment about the relationship, too. Something about Dr. Chakwas giving him dextro-chocolate. Tali tells Shepard to watch herself. (Wouldn't want the doctor stealing Garrus away with chocolate and Serrice ice brandy, now would we?)
I really think that Kaidan should say something. Or Joker, since apparently that's where Garrus got his "research" materials (makes me wonder if he doesn't realize that it's pornography, since he seems to take what he sees in the porn vids seriously--perhaps turian vids can be fairly explicit and no one thinks anything of it?). EDI sort-of references it, but only in the sense that you have a relationship--or, as she puts it, "actual sexual experience." If you've got the collector's edition, Javik will comment that he knows you and "the turian" are "joined."
And I love that romanced Garrus so often adds in some romantic dialogue no matter what he's saying to Shepard. He makes it very clear that it's not just about sex, that's just the only way he knows how to frame their relationship because he's terrified of getting things wrong. But it's sweet how often he shows support or concern for her.
I admit I'm disappointed that if you break it off with him (I reloaded and tested this) he doesn't seem disappointed at all. Even if you break up with him on the date. This seems strange considering both your chances to break up with him, he seems to really want to keep going with the relationship (in fact on the date he's asking you to make it exclusive and long-term). If you break up with him the first time you talk on the Normandy, he just says he has no regrets and that he understands he was a distraction. Shepard reassures him that he wasn't, but that's the most disappointment you get from him. He'll even ask her out for drinks later. If you break up with him on his date, you don't get an offer for drinks or to reassure him that he wasn't ever a distraction. But he doesn't seem upset in the least. The man has a will of steel not to be upset after someone he so obviously cares deeply about rejects him out of hand despite not being in a relationship with anyone else at the time.
Oh yeah, and for all the old fans who used to post here who vaguely remember me, I'm back now that I've played ME3. Although, I'm not happy about the ending. But few are.
I'm okay with Garrus living even if Shepard dies. Actually it's selfish not to hope he can move on eventually without her. But if he's still alive, I'd like some dialogue, some apparent grief over his loss.
I don't know. The ending just ruined the whole series for me. That tends to happen when you've put hundreds of hours into something and are told your choices matter, only to find that they don't. I may replay it, if only because I enjoyed time spent with all the squaddies past.
Retour en haut
SHEPARD, NO.
Garrus (albeit platonically in my case).
