Well, I just started my Garrus Romance PT, and after the bloody debacle of the Thane romance I need some reassurance that this one hasn't been screwed up.
Please tell me it wasn't screwed up. I don't think my heart to take much more.
It wasn't screwed up at all.

Not at all...Garrus was by far the best LI Bioware has ever done in my humble and limited experience.
He's even great just as a 'bro' for the manSheps

I'll just leave this here.
Also I'd like to say that this was the best romance I've ever seen. Bioware nailed it with this one.

I've been playing every single Bioware game - Jade Empire excepted - since the release of Baldur's Gate and I can confirm this is the best romance they have ever written.

Agreed and then some. Frankly I think it's owed a lot in part to the fact that Garrus was never meant to be a romance option in the first place, as he was simply your friend and comrade during the events of ME1. That allowed for a much more naturally progressing relationship, that went from comraderie, to an awkward - yet adorable - testing the waters stage, and then finally to a stage where you could tell that they truly loved and trusted one another implicitly. All the while you knew that at the heart of it all, regardless of how the relationship turned out he would always have your back - which made it even more rewarding when it finally culminated in the final* game.Karrie788 wrote...

It's just damn perfect.

Exactly. For once we didn't have a guy who looked at your character and fell instantly in love with her. It grew from respect, to honest friendship and trust, then moved on to "interspecies awkwardness" (as he himself puts it), and culminated into love. The relationship felt so natural.
I roleplayed my Shep as being very wary of Garrus at first, with him being so hotheaded and her not being used to work with aliens (and frankly, being a bit of a b*tch)... and then he surprised her, proved his loyalty to her and earned her complete respect and trust. And made her reconsider her view of aliens (much like Priestly).
Then comes ME2, and she's dealing with having died and having to work with an organization she loathes (being a sole survivor) and suddenly her friend appears among the darkness like a gigantic beacon of hope, so she relies on him a lot, hanging out in the main battery while he's doing his damn calibrations. Starts to see him in a different light, helped in that regard by Kelly's comment on how cute they would look together as a couple, and says "well why not". Goes for it (while drunk. It amuses me greatly to imagine her hitting on him by accident). Doesn't regret it for a second.
Beginning of ME3, she loves him. He's pretty much the reason why she keeps fighting. That was easy to roleplay; the writing was on my side.
Overall, it was so easy to roleplay her falling in love with him. It felt completely natural.
Wow, that was longer than expected.

Mm, that's what I meant. Usually if so many bugs need to be cleared up so soon after release date it usually means they didn't have enough time to properly test and release it. Doesn't give the endings much hope.

Eeek. If you download the Datapad app for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, you see this message. I wonder if it checks your save data since it shows up after you log in? But anyway, hideous fangirl screech:
This is ADORABLE. I have the BIGGEST smile on my face right now.

...Yeah, I still grin like an idiot when I read his messages. It's quite unnerving actually, I haven't felt this giddy or swoon worthy since...
I want to say Alistair, but I have a feeling I should say 'Since my boyfriend and I first hooked up'.

I did the sameSame Shepard, too. Only changed her haircut. And the fact that I want to save her ass, this time. I'm not letting her die. No way.
"Hope you're still flexible."

I know! It's so amazing that we get a hot message and then a message that squeezes your heart.
Because, "Wanted to say how beautiful I think you are. Love G," is just killing me with happiness right now
