This is hilarious. I have trouble taking that scene seriously anyway. I know indoctrination can make people violent, but I felt more like the developers were trying to tell us "see this guy? In case you hadn't understood that already, he's the bad guy."

Saren is still a badass villain though.

[Karrie788]

That's what I was thinking of. XD

I love that they don't actually chibi-fy Wrex and Grunt (un-chibi-fiable?). They just make them smaller

Krogans are rather chibified by nature. You would just have to enlarge the eyes realy.

Anyone seen "Garrus" on TV lately? He's in the latest Castle Episode and a speed dating ad for AT&T.

I had to tell my husband it was it him because he wanted to know why I found that AT&T commercial so funny.  Now he keeps making two-timing jokes about Garrus cheating on me.

I have my mom (who is 62) over every Sunday to watch Game of Thrones. She used to give me all kinds of grief about my gaming "addiction", but in the last year she's finally realized just how entertaining and intellectually stimulating it is for me... after a few years of listening to me explain things like the strategy and coordination of ~20 people involved in things like mmo raiding of course.
Well a couple weeks ago she came up for GoT and I was playing ME3 when she got here. She heard Garrus talking during the scene when he first comes aboard the Normandy and came over to watch my screen.
She said something to the effect of "Wow, I love that voice! It's so gravelly and sexy... But WTH is he? a dinosaur?"

I almost fell out of my chair.

Should tell her he's a dragon.

Reminds me of my brother who litterally let out a cry of disgust when he first saw Garrus on screen (was watching me playing), to which I replied "Hey, that's the man of Shep's life." "Well, good luck with that."

Silly brothers. I need to get him to play the game.

[Sialater]

At least he's not making fun of the alien thing any more. Especially after I reminded him he went blue for his first three run-throughs of ME1.

[Argraharg]

Xenophilia for the win. All cool people realises this sooner or later.

Yes! *hi5*
I also love it when Garrus follows up my cryo with his concussive shot. Kablooeh!
...I honestly did not mean to make that sound dirty. :innocent:
 I love playing infiltrator! I'm going to try vangaurd some day. I was afraid to get close but then I found out that shotguns are really fun.

Oh look, Lorik Qui'in.

-*snip*

I hated vanguard in me2 so much I went back to soldier. Don't mind it so much in multiplayer but I can't imagine having to run it in campaign.

Also, I was mildly butthurt about the lack of Lorik Qui'in in the final game. His letter in 2 made me smile. Also perhaps made my heart skip a beat. Garrus is the bestest, but Lorik's just a bit smoother, eh?

The only one I have going on right now is Dark Space, an AU FemShep/Saren.  It went on hiatus for a long, long time while I was having lots of health problems, and I've picked it back up within the last few weeks.

Voted. I always vote in polls like that, though I'm not sure why. They're subject to which fanbase is the most eager for recognition at the time of poll creation.

Kaidan used to poll a lot higher, I would look into his thread occasionally and see polls posted and diligently responded to. Now Thane polls higher than he ever has because of a very dedicated group currently frequenting the forum. Once Garrus was confirmed as a squadmate for ME3 I think the majority of his fangirls stopped worrying about polls. It's obvious where he stands, and we got an excellent romance from Mass Effect 3.

Besides, if ever I want to know what BSN thinks about FemShep romances, I just go back to the oldest and most voted on poll on the subject.

EDIT: Re: Family responses. I'm lucky to have a mom cool enough to think that Garrus is awesome too. I grew up watching Star Trek with her, so she's no stranger to xenophilia.

There's no Tali on the poll. o_O
EDIT: DERP. I can't read.


And while I appreciated Kaidan a lot in the first game, it kinda bugged me how he and Ashley turned into pretty much the same person in the third game. Plus, he takes everything so seriously that I can't imagine any Shep of mine ever being interested in him at that point.

I'm not a fan of Kaidan, but I loved Ashley. I think that's a testament to how different the characters were in the first game. ME3 Ashley is just... not Ashley. She's an Ashley stand-in. If you aren't romancing her, it's like she's not even there. It makes me so sad.

I feel the same. I loved Ash in ME1, she was wonderfully written. I created a ManShep just for her. What she became in ME3 truly made me sad. I had her go in a blaze of glory in my newest playthrough on Virmire. I'd rather remember her as this awesome character rather than that piece of furniture in ME3. Plus I like Kaidan in the last game.

On the other hand, Garrus's character arc was probably one of the best in the trilogy. Along with Wrex, IMO.

Thirded.  I couldn't stand Ash in ME3.  She was such a witch-with-a-b.  And I loved her in ME1.  I had the opposite happen with Kaidan; I was meh on him in ME1, and adored him in ME3.

I hated Ashley at first in ME1, but my second playthrough I actually grew fond of her. Even my first, completely blind playthrough, I agonized about having to kill either Kaidan or Ashley. My meeting with her on Horizon in 2 went really well, even. So well, that my jerkwad renegade Shepard didn't even hook up with anyone beyond flirting with Kelly, contrary to what I figured I'd do. It also made me really excited for whatever was going to happen between my manshep and Ashley in the final game.

My opinion of Kaidan was rather mild, but I thought that his romance was the most well-written of the first game, and better than most of the romances in the second. (A few of them, especially Jack's and Miranda's, seemed kind of.... cliché.) My run-in with him on Horizon, though, was positively infuriating. I was also taken aback at how he could be less reasonable than Ash was, when I got the perspective of both encounters.

Kaidan actually does a pretty good job of apologizing for sticking his foot in his mouth in the third game, but then resolves to be furniture for most of the rest of the game. (Though his awkward saying-but-not-saying his feelings for Shepard on Earth added an interesting depth to their final conversation). Ashley had a few other interesting things happen (visiting her sister on the Citadel, that time she drank too much on the Normandy), but pretty much does exactly as Kaidan does, even though they're fairly different in the first game.

I, too, was pretty disappointed with what happened with Ashley in me3.

That reminds me, the problem I had with Ash's scene at the memorial is that Ash seems to have stolen Fenris' sister from DA2. Both Sarah Williams and Varania have bright red hair, pale skin and look nothing like their sibling. TBH, I'm glad Papa Vakarian never showed his face in-game if that's the kind of attention to detail they give family members. They'd probably use some barefaced stock turian. ::mutter::

Same with Miranda and Oriana. :C So disappointing.

Edit: Arg! Top again.
Here, have a cute Garrus (By Meken, very good at Turians):
