If I may give my humble opinion in the matter...

I do believe Garrus developed something towards Shepard.
I think that as the whole point. It started as a joke, and then at the end they didn't do anything physical BECAUSE it turn into something... well, more profound.

I do believe it is a romantic option, precisely because of the way it ends. The realization that, "hey, maybe there's something more here, let's not ruin it and just be together (bumping) and that's perfect."

That's a very interesting observation. I find that I agree with you on this. Garrus is not attracted to Shepard. Hence, there is no romance. What is here is heartwarming, but it's not love in all its breathtaking glory.

I got a strong impression that the writer did that for fanservice, but never managed to break their disbelief about a human / turian romance, and that disbelief shines through. Garrus goes through the paces because he respects Shepard and Shepard asked him to, and there's practically nothing he wouldn't do for Shepard, but he doesn't know how to properly imitate that romance that Shepard's probably expecting. The result is...painfully awkward.

It's honest, though, all throughout. Garrus respects you; he is not attracted to you; bedding a human is about the same to him as bedding a rachni; he's still going to do it simply because Shepard asked; and he really hopes that he's not going to botch it, because Shepard is important to him. It's really nice of him, and not many people would do it for you, bedding the disgusting human, but it isn't love.

In my overly romantic opinion, true love transgresses the interspecies barriers. If you're interested in someone, you would, at the very least, want a simple physical touch. You'd want to spend time in that person's company. It's absent from Garrus' romance. There's no passion, there's no chemistry, there's no desire to be with Shepard, not even to converse with Shepard (in fact, Garrus uses that calibration excuse constantly to get rid of Shepard). Garrus and Shepard had more chemistry in ME1 than they did in ME2.

And I believe strongly that my Shepard deserves someone who actively wants her, not simply humors her. Same for Jacob romance.


Interesting two cents. =)

The thing is, the relationship doesn't really start until the very end of the game. It's probably in the very early stages of becoming a romantic relationship and, unfortunately, we're going to miss those first few months because of the time skip to ME3. But at least the two of them will have time together to go through the motions, it's a lot more time than Shepard has with any of the ME1 love-interests, it just.. may occur off-screen (kind of like that line FemShep feeds Liara in LotSB about finding peace in the arms of a turian). We'll get to see more of it in ME3 and hopefully be able to influence the direction the relationship goes in from there.

I see the Shep/Garrus romance arc as a very slow one. it will proably take the whole 3 games to unfold.

As laecraft pointed out, Shep and Garrus definitly arent 'lovestruck'. Their connection is first of all on an intellectual level. Specially in ME1 with Shep mentoring Garrus. If you choose to romance him in ME2, then it becomes more an emotional connection. The profound trust between the two of them evolving toward love. But it still feels like they arent there just yet on the physical level. Like Leonia said, its still up in the air to figure if they got over it after that one night. LoTSB lets you think they might have.

And well its also interesting to see how aliens react to humans. We always see things from Sheps eyes and have choice to be very open to other species or have a problem with it. Its nice to have the table turned on us, playing a Shep who has feelings toward an alien who feels uneasy toward a diffrent species. Do you give up? Do you push? As Iaecroft pointed, Garrus could be simply 'humoring' Shepard. Its something to find out im ME3. Hopefully hes not... but its a chance to take, like any relationship.

All romance arcs end up with something 'lacking'. With VS its the trust, with Miranda you dont know if the feelings are there, with Jack its the commitment, for Thane its longevity, etc. (its not exaustive but im sure if we think about it we could find out what is missing in each arc). For Garrus the problem is on the physical level.  Well find out if its jsut an 'Im not sure waht to do' thing or an 'im just not attracted to you' thing when March comes.

Gotta disagree with this. I do agree that Garrus' inital reaction to an interspecies relationship is that  it's strange, probably even a bit kinky and transgressive. I'll even agree that may well have no substantial physical attraction to Shepard. But I don't think he's totally repulsed and unwilling. Once he's had a chance to get accustomed to the shock of Shepard's proposition, he's both nervous and excitied. Refer to the last conversation they have before the SM, around 4:50:



Garrus said...

"But I want to try it with you. I want a few moments that are just for us..."


The bolded and the way he says it sells it for me, that there's at least some curiosity and affection on his end. I don't think he's just humoring his pal.

I think he's also genuinely disappointed if you call it off. Rejection:


His reaction starting at 1:13 is pretty clearly hurt to me. You could argue that he's upset to think he let his friend down, but if he was so uncomfortable about being with Shepard you'd think his reaction would be closer to sighing relief. You can tell the way he's 'agreeing' with her about it all being a bad idea is a put on.

Also, re: calibrations - he's just a hard worker! Calibrations are important! :lol:

*Delurks*

Garrus only says he doesn’t have a fetish for humans. He never says he isn't attracted to Shepard. It's two entirely different things. A fetish implies an almost abnormal fixation on something.

Secondly, the only way to get Garrus to stop saying he's calibrating all the damn time is to romance him.

The relationship between Shepard and Garrus is based primarily on trust and respect, sure. But that doesn't mean there's no affection, no love and no attraction at all. Garrus seems more nervous to me about the whole thing than anything else and I think by the end he definitely does want to be with Shepard. Also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't consider bedding someone who he basically outright says is his closest friend to be on par with bedding a Rachni.

I can sort of see where you’re coming from in your arguments, but I guess we just interpret things very differently! I think Garrus and Shepard have great chemistry together and the romance is both touching and very funny. It’s by far my favourite after having done the more traditional Jacob and Kaidan options as well.
But each to their own :)

So, I have a question for you guys. On my first playthrough, I eagerly romanced Garrus because he's charmingly quick-witted, and badass. So on my second playthrough, as soon as I get the chance to start the romance - I'm put off by what Garrus says. "Well, why the hell not? You're the person who I respect most the galaxy." Later he outright says he has no human fetish, so there's no physical attraction


I don't know, not having a human fetish doesn't mean there isn't a physical attraction, as far as I'm aware Garrus having a human fetish would mean he's primarily interested in humans

Hey I like both, and I'm really looking forward to what direction their relationship goes in if they have both romanced Shepard.

Would be nice if there would grow some sort of a rivarly between them on the field, not just some different dialog options.

Im pretty sure that'll happen since it seems to be in the same category as "squad banter". I'd love both a serious rivalry and a silly one b/w various squaddies. What if at some point Garrus started yelling out his sniper kill count against Thane or Legion? XD

No Kaidan here. I'd personally like to see what Ashley might have to say about a Shepard/Garrus relationship. [if anything.] I'd hope she might mention it though. She doesn't seem like the kind of person to keep her opinions to herself.

One of the reasons I like having Ash around. Im really hoping that ppl comment on Sheps relationship regardless who she's with. I loved how Kelly and Kasumi had lines about the subject. Heres hoping that's a sign that more ppl with have comments like that in ME3. Personally I think the ME1 cast will say more on the ShepxGarrus romance seeing as they know him better and had no idea. Im dying to see if Wrex will say anything about it. XDDDDD Liara knows, and so does Tali. Liara supported Shep so thats nice. Tali should have some lines since she and Garrus seem to have that Bro/Sis relationship. Some teasing would be cute. 

As for kai - *sigh* I dont have a file of a love triangle. Im replaying ME1 again and Im at the point where I can decide if I want the Kaiden romance. Honestly I dont >.> Ive tried various occasions to get with him but I can't seem to do it. I like Kaiden but not LOVE him. Its like when I tried romancing Jacob so I could see what he says when you dump him for Thane. I couldnt go thru with it! >.< I really want to see how Garrus will act in ME3 fighting for Sheps heart but I just dont want to put him thru that - especially when I dont even like Kaiden that much. I think Imma just keep the loyal Garrus files that i have. I personally would hate myself if I romanced Kai just to see some extra lines of Garrus dialog, especially of him going thru hell in a love triangle. Isn't that what youtube is for? ;3
I just want my ME3 romance to be focused on the growing relationship with Garrus and Garrus alone. Not on the fight b/w him and Kaiden.

Personally this is what I love most about their "arc" as you put it. Its clearly developing as the games progress. In the first game they became friends towards the progress of the game, but towards the beginning with more emphasis on "Student/Mentor" theme. Him ALWAYS saying "Yes, Ma'am." "No Ma'am.", always addressing her as "Commander". I like that he wasnt romancable in the game. It made the relationship in ME2 that much more meaningful, at least to me it was. Im not into the whole - "HEY! We just met! Im automatically in love with you!". No. Just no. The fact we already knew and trusted Garrus established that deep connection that later sparked into romance.
So we can be sure that in ME3, we'll see their relationship blossom more now that they've been together officially for 6-12 months since the ending of ME2.
I think of their relationship progress this way :
ME1 = Student/Mentor to Friends ----> ME2 = Friends to Closer Friends to then transition to lovers ----> ME3 = Lovers

Also I think the relationship is slow during ME2 because its new territory for Garrus. He has every right to be cautious. He's been asked to "blow off steam" with his "only friend in this screwed up galaxy" and this person is his commanding officer AND of another species. Plus I bet he was hoping that if anything happened b/w them - if things didnt work out - that he wouldnt risk ruining their relationship since it one of few things he has left that he cares so much for. Thus the fact he tried to hard during the romance scene. He wanted it so bad to work. So much so he was stumbling as over the place. Its was rather sweet.

speaking of the romance scene -

Gosh I hate that video. It gets me every time i see it. At 1:13 is the exact moment that hurts. Did you guys hear that sound at that moment? Thats Garrus' heart shattering to pieces. Posted Image
I've never done it. I dont have the heart to do that to him. Garrus has been through enough pain. I'd hate to be the one to add more to it, especially directly to his heart.

Heh. I love when ppl bring up that fact because I always come out with a simple explanation that makes total sense.

Yes. Garrus says he doesnt have a fetish for humans. Sure of course. BUT He has a Shepard Fetish. And that in itself makes ALL the difference.Posted Image lol

I think there is some attraction, but I think it stems more from a point of view that he admires Shepards strength both in combat and in commanding. Physically, he seems to like her 'waist' (I love how he emphasises that word!)

And I think that physical attraction isn't important, but that he is getting used to how Shepard looks and accomodating features he finds attractive and applying them to Shepard.

Like others have said though, Shepard and Garrus both need someone to be with to work off the stress and just have someone to be with, to care for, and to live for before embarking on a suicide mission. And what better match is there than the one whose loyalty is the most unquestionable on the whole damn ship.

The main reason that I love Garrus is that he will do anything for Shepard. And without expecting much back.

I think its normal to question if Garrus is simply trying to please Shepard or if hes truly ok with an interspecies relationship. I think its something HE will have to think of himself. 

'Do I love her or is she just the one person i admire the most?'

Tali/Shep arc also has that 'hes my hero' vibe to it.

That level of emotional vulnerability is what makes their love story interesting.

If Shep chooses that Garrus is worth it even if hes not always that super-badass-invulnerable-witty-sniper and if Garrus decides species isnt a boundary for love then wont it be the best love story :wub:.

On the topic at hand - Thus the wise words of Kelly Chambers shine:
"Intimacy brings understanding. And passion is nice wherever you find it. Character matters, not race or gender.”

edit: IDK if anyone is watching the PAX coverage these days, but I just stumbled upon something interesting just now. The idea of ME3 DLC specifically for romances a possibility. Hmmmmm interesting. 

I quote:
Silverman - *reading a question off twitter* : "Have you ever considered DLC that focusing exclusively on conversations and romances?"  
"Where's the Sex DLC Mike?"

Mike: [producer on ME3] "Oh of course. We think about making Sex DLC all the time! Whether or not we can put it out is another thing. It's important to have romances and additional conversation branches. You guys played Shadow broker. We really thought that was really important. We wanna kinda do to same sorts of things for Mass Effect 3. Course obviously the main game has to come out before any DLC does ya know."

hmmmmm Ideas for ME3 DLC for specifically for Garrus anyone? ^_O Im COMPLETELY ok with that! Something to do with his family perhaps? I doubt it'll go in depth during the actual game, maybe we run into his father. OR if we meet Sol and his mom, its just quick. DLC could give us a chance to go deep into Garrus' past AND a possibility of ...oh i dont know....*COUGH* Sol as a temp squaddie! *COUGH*
Badass Brother-Sister Team Up!! And Banter/Teasing each other the whole time. I WANT THIS SO HARD!!!!!

I know this has already been said, but I'd like to add my two cents. :) *shot for cliche*

People are using the word fetish wrong. A fetish is an odd attraction/obsession to something that doesn't warrant erotic feelings by normal standards, such as feet, or a garden bench. Garrus doesn't go out of his way every day to seduce every human woman he sees, he just said he never thought about "cross species intercourse". Garrus doesn't turn Shepard away, he just said:

"I didn't know you had a weakness for men with scars."
and
"Why the hell not?"

I think it's safe to say that Garrus isn't opposed by the idea of testing reach and flexibility with the only person he really trusts. He said so long as they can find a way for it to work, then "definitely". Then Garrus starts thinking about it. He cares about Shepard enough to worry that she was just settling, and when Shepard tells him that isn't the case and she wants him because she trusts him above everyone else, Garrus's voice gets a little thick when he says: "I can do that" (at least that's what I hear), indicating that he is relieved and surprised by her choice. He didn't want to get ahead of himself if Shepard was just going to back down. Also, Shepard does say that if Garrus doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to. And what does Garrus do? He says that you are his only friend, and he goes through with it...because he wants to. He says "it's about us", not just as friends at that point, but as something more. To me, that's Garrus admiting his attraction to Shepard. It's a shot in the dark, but that's my opinion.

And while Garrus is still apparently nervous about the whole shebang (because of all the obvious medical concerns involving *cough* allergic reactions), he still says he wants to set aside time just for you and him. You and him against the galaxy. Of course he's nervous when the night actually comes along - he reminds me of a kid who didn't do his homework (especially after he said "I should have watched the vids!"). Garrus wants it all to be perfect, he tries so hard and when Shepard tells him to chill...he just kind of slumps and admits he's afraid of screwing the both of you up. He just wants something to go right "just once".

In my opinion a man that tries so hard to please you, and is comfortable enough to show his vulnerabilty...is in love with you. Or he just really really really REALLY likes you. :wub:

Well. That's my analysis on the romance. I'm sure it's been done dozens of times. :P

If BioWare does anything to Garrus, I will be sorely put out. :crying:

And there he was telling us he was too busy calibrating. Yeah, calibrating dance routines. Sly fox.

To answer this as I started then got distracted by pictures of assets...

I think Garrus loves Shepard, but not in a romantic way.

In ME1 I romanced Kaidan, more by default than anything else. (He's a whiny little thing compared to Garrus) But at least it felt like Kaidan had real feelings for Shepard, as ridiculous as he acted on Horizon.

So I want to know your thoughts. Do you think Garrus love-loves Shepard? And is it worth it to holdout for Kaidan on Save2 and hope he's not such a p**** in ME3? (First choice is Joker, but like that's gonna happen)

And yes I KNOW IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME. ,_,


I guess, more so than some of the romances*, I got the impression that it was definitely more than just physical attraction. This isn't to say neither party doesn't find the other attractive though; just because he tells us he doesn't have a fetish for humans, it doesn't mean he doesn't find our femshep attractive either. Attractive= she's a strong, confident leader. Attractive isn't just about looks.

Similarly, throughout the whole buildup between femshep and Garrus, we keep hearing about their mutual trust and respect, and I guess this is why I love their relationship sfm. They trust each other so much and this is probably better than hearing declarations of love towards each other. I never, ever got the impression that Garrus is just going along with it because lol hormonal femshep/commanding officer orders. He wants to do it as much as she does, and this gradual process of becoming more than just best friends results in an awkward, adorable romance scence (the best of the bunch imo).

*I hate Jacob THE PRIIIIIIZE moment. My god, way to objectify my femshep :? kinda wanted to send him through the vents after that point.

THANK-YOU. I wanted to punch him for calling my FemShep "the prize". Really, Jacob? Get out.

I also agree with you about Garrus's romance being the best. =] If Garrus didn't want Shepard, he would have told her. He's awkward and off the charts adorable because he wants to. XD

@ Celestina: I have a Shepard ready for Joker. Just...putting that out there. :whistle: :lol:

 Coming in to throw my support for Garrus out there. I love Garrus, he's always in my party in both ME1 and ME2, and he's the first squaddie I recruit in ME2 (Zaeed doesn't count, I mean, he's standing right at the entrance to Omega and all you do is talk to him). I wasn't too keen on his romance, but it doesn't make me like him any less. Looking forward to seeing him in ME3!

Okay, and I'm also here cuz Sialater promised she would explain Turian kissing. :kissing: I'm curious.

There are two "schools of thought" on this among the members of Clan V.

#1:  The "lips" as shown in game aren't really all that rigid.  While not as flexible and sensitive as a human's, they are mobile enough for complex speech, at least.  He just won't get as much out of a kiss as FemShep.  And at a guess, I'd think that for her, it'd feel a bit like leather.

#2:  If FemShep's careful of the teeth, French kissing is probably the easier way to go.  :D

Im not too fond of the idea that head bump is the only turian kiss

Any sort of contact that serves to share a feeling/emotion/appreciation can serve as a kiss. I dont think it matters that much if they cant exactly kiss the same way. Shep can always kiss him on the 'beak' and Garrus can give her little beak bites (not teeth bites... maybe the adequate english word would be nibbleing?). And Turians look lke they have long enough tongue to get good use of it. Really wheres theres a will theres a way.


@Danny

Wow this is awsome. Made me think Shep could have told Garrus 'You want to put mood music on? Ok but you have to dance !'

Just checked the voting results in Gamespot's Greatest Game Side-Kick and Garrus is placed at 3rd place. Your fans are proud of you, Garrus!

Third is not bad at all. :D

Who is the mystery turian?

Armour is the same shape as Garrus' C-Sec armour in ME1 but obviously has a different colour scheme.

My money is on General Partinax or maybe a Primarch coordinating the war effort near/on Palaven.


Is it just me or am I looking at Lorik Qui'in?

and Garrus lost to Luigi and Yoshi?! Typical. Mario is extremely overrated. People who dont know videogames can easily vote for those two. So technically Garrus won the poll. WOOO!
