Even after spending hours reading human-alien smut I find it hysterical that I have no trouble believing you on this point.
To whoever linked Sound of the Clarion, I salute you. That is some solid AU fic. I'm especially appreciative of the depiction of Turian society.
P.S. Umpteenth Round of Citadel Elevator Banter - Garrus vs Tali. Omgggg Garrus you started out as such a tool I am astounded.
You know, I love Garrus, even in ME1 (in a "OMG he's adorable" kinda way) but this honestly makes me wonder why he got so much love in the first place. Same with Tali. I mean, she never shuts up about quarians. Ash got a lot of hate for her supposed "racism", and yet when Garrus insults Tali's or Wrex's people or says humanity doesn't know what making sacrifices means nobody says anything?
Again, I love team dextro to death, but I'm curious as to what sparked the love before ME2 and 3 came out.
Maybe it's because Garrus you can tell he has good intentions, and he ended up changing towards the end? He's affected by what Shep tells him in the first one, and when he does disagree with you he at least tries to see it your way first. I remember having issues with a lot of stuff that sprouted from his lips in the first game. When you first get his side mission in ME1, he tells you that he wanted to shoot Saleon's ship while he was still close to the Citadel, which would have killed a lot of innocents on the Citadel (and most definitely the innocent hostages), and he said they were "dead anyway" (which he was wrong about). That really got to me when I was playing ME1 and actually made me wonder about liking him, but then at the end of the assignment, he listens to your Shep's reasoning and he seems to understand. When he said "If the people I'm sworn to protect can't trust me, I don't deserve to be the one protecting them" back on the Normandy, I knew it was all good. And even though I never encourage him to be more renegade, he still listens and sticks to renegade Sheps too. Though I suppose there wouldn't be a problem about what he says in the first game.
His comic relief probably also helped.
I know that was more about paragon/renegade reasoning, but encouraging him to be more paragon seemed to be connected to his tolerance somehow. I guess because they say that paragon is about building bridges abd bonds. But by the time I finished his assignment, he stopped making racist remarks in the elevator and seemed to be getting along with everyone.
I think Tali was well recieved because she's sweet. It's true that the only thing she talks about is her people in ME1, but I think she was pretty much the only source of that information in the game, right? I gotta admit that while Tali's info was informative and interesting in my first playthrough, I didn't want to sit through it in later playthroughs. So much talking... So much info that I already knew. lol (Wrex's stories never got old for me though :happy: ) And I actually liked Ash in ME1 because her sarcasm was great and I understood her distrust of aliens, but I think that people expected that she would get over that distrust like Pressly did, but she didn't change as much as people would have liked in that aspect. For the most part she was fine, but then she'd drop a condescending comment and you'd want to remind her that humanity isn't any better.
Well that's just my guess about that. Didn't mean to type so much.
Retour en haut
Garrus =/
