It's quite simple, actually, and can be accomplished in one simple step.

1. Don't.

How is it possible for anyone to hate Garrus. Better question is why he hasn't hunted them down and removed them from the gene pool.

:lol:

I have to admit the revenge rut is a bit disheartening, but I hope he'll have some good growth in ME3. I'd like for him to step out of Shepard's shadow (without dying, of course). Grunt got more self-determination in ME2, for goshsakes.

Because he's proven himself an ineffective vigilante who get's all of his team members killed. I mean Tali I can understand getting people killed as a leader, she's just tech support. Garrus on the other hand is too busy playing Batturian rather than being smart about what he's doing.

Simple. The more popular a character becomes, the more vocal the haters get. It's a kind of sport. The same happens with some stars in real life mass media.

Love Garrus to bits, I could get why people might not of liked him as much in ME1, in ME1 I found him not that interesting at first and kept him out of all the missions and never talked to him on the ship. Only on a second playthrough did I find him a touch more interesting but its ME2 where he really developed and become awesome.

Garrus should've been the main character in Mass Effect. In the beginning ME1, he was already investigating Saren while Shepard didn't even know that Saren existed. Before ME2 he was on Omega, instilling fear in criminals while Shepard spent those two years being dead. I'm pretty sure Garrus is doing something equally awesome before the events of ME3 while Shepard is being grounded on Earth.

Bottom line - Garrus is ridiculously cool.

This man speaks the truth. Do not be hating on Garrus. <_<

i love garrus, self admitted garrus fangirl right here! I think because he and my original femshep had very similar attitudes, the council are a bunch of stuck up narrow minded politicians and we should just shoot Saren in the face repeatedly when we catch up to him. The bond was immediate so of course he became her LI in 2 and i've just loved him since he joined my squad. Viva la Garrus!

I have noticed alot of haters towars Garus. Why? I like Garrus. He and Shepard have a bond, they have been through quite a lot together. In my playthroughs, Garrus is always one of my SM. I am really just curious as to all the hate.


People spitting their pacifiers out over their ME2 squadmate of choice not being available

His arrogance rubbed me the wrong way (and he really has no reason to be arrogant).

Garrus: "Hey Commander Shepard, I'm Garrus. I couldn't find any evidence against Saren."
Shepard: "No problem, I'll do it myself."

G: "Hey Shepard, I tried to catch an evil scientist, but he escaped"
S: "I'll help you..."

G: "Shepard, you're alive. These evil mercs try to kill me!"
S: "I'll deal with them!"

G: "I put my own squad together, like you did."
S: "Awesome!"
G: "They are all dead."
S: :blink:

G: "Shepard, there's this traitor..."
S: *sigh*

They're called hipsters.

Funnily enough, Garrus is more popular than Tali (character-wise, she's still the most popular LI by a long shot) but doesn't even have a fraction of the amount of haters Tali's got. That's because Garrus is generally considered a pretty cool guy and a bro.

Garrus is awesome, by far my favourite character in ME. I don't think my Shepard ever went on a mission without his man Garrus and it'll be the same in ME3. I found myself strangely attracted to Garrus throughout ME2.

I like Garrus. I'm not going to romance him, mind you, but I like him a lot. Great buddy. Although it's really throwing me off now that I'm replaying the first two games and Brandon Keener's got a couple of commercials running at the moment. Next thing I know Garrus is talking about leaving his 401k at his old job.

Garrus is the sh*t, and that is my totally, non-biased opinion...:whistle:

Ok past that, I'll refer to one of the first posts I read on this discussion.  If people are hating on Garrus, it's probably because their favorite character is getting shunned because of Garrus' massive popularity explosion over the past couple of years.

This attitude has a lot to do with it.

But basically, it's this:

(1) I was indifferent to him in ME1, which, since I like everyone else, made him my least favorite in ME1,
(2) then he was written as Shepard's canon buddy in ME2, which I did not feel him to be at all,
(3) and now he gets preferential treatment as one of two team members who are team members
in all three games, while all the ME2-exclusives (among them my three favorites) got sidelined and
didn't even get two games with their being on the team.

Personally in ME 1 I felt more kinship with Wrex, he was full of awesome stories and a nice tragic background that he didn't whine about.

Then in ME 2 Garrus is my BFF while Wrex is stuck on the ground. Frustrating.

What? He asks Shepard for help, guidance and even trusts shepard almost implicitly in ME2 because he doesn't trust himself enough after getting his team killed. Garrus isn't arrogant at the most he is pissed because he can't kill every murderer in the galaxy. Garrus is angry and pretty self loathing at times.

It's because of the SOP for Team Dextro:

1. Bend them into fanbait.
2. Once bent into fanbait and fans start liking the character in droves, blatantly shove a romance/bromance in everyone's faces and not give them an option, even if the majority are either indifferent or outright dislike the characters.
3. Once step 2 is complete, shove everyone else out of the series and blatantly shove another romance/bromance in everyone's faces, leaving them without much of a choice.
4. Give them a 'Get Out of ME2 Suicide Mission Free' card, and they're the only squadmates whose missions will have generic people taking over in their roles (if dead). And make sure to post loudly and proudly on BSN that you're pandering to the fans when you brought them back.

That said, I don't really mind Garrus, it's just that he was constantly mastur-I mean, calibrating until he wanted me to help him get revenge by killing Sidonis, and then he went back to calibrations. Boring as a rock, and I have no idea what happened to the stuff Shepard taught him in ME1.

Sorry birdman, you'll never be my bro. That position is reserved for Wrex, Legion and Vega.
