Mass Effect 3 has its problems.

Garrus Vakarian is not one of them.

In fact, I would GLADLY pay for an entire game starring just Garrus being Garrus and doing Garrus things for 20+ hours.


I would rejoice if Garrus was the protagonist of ME4...or of some FF-like spin off. Such an amazing character. Glad he hooked up with Tali. Ultimate Broheim.


Mass Calibration 3


My money is already disappearing from my wallet over Mass Calibration 3.

Shepard is nr 1 in ME all the way up to the ending, when he/she suddently breaks character and starts to listen an aknowledge some crazy genocidal AI or whatever it is. So out of character.

1 Shepard minus the ending Shepard, two different personalitites.
2 Garrus, he really is a good character in ME3, just the best friend Shepard could have.
3 Mordin, the very image of a scientist sallarian. And he at least sticks to his character at his end.
All the characters are great, except maybe Jacob...

To bad that so many great characters was neglected at the end, such a waste.

Garrus Vakarian is a fine character, but "greatest"? No. For one thing, Garrus' actions in the games mean NOTHING in the larger course of events. In ME1, if you recruit Garrus, he goes with you and helps you stop Saren. If you don't recruit him, you still stop Saren, and it plays out in the exact same way. So Garrus' participation makes no difference, anyone with a gun can do what he would have done. In ME2, you find Garrus in a sticky situation, after he foolishly kicked over the biggest hornet's nest in the galaxy. You have to save him from his own folly. Then he joins your mission to stop the Collectors, which we now know was a colossal waste of time. The Baby Reaper was never going to be a galaxy-wide threat, like the actual big Reapers are, and the Collectors are just Prothean husks, and husks are husks. Killing Prothean husks is no different from killing human, turian, batarian, or asari husks. Stopping the Collectors SO could have waited. Not to mention there's nothing that Garrus does during the Collector mission that couldn't be done by anyone else. And in ME3, we hear that Garrus had been working night and day to help the turians prepare for the Reapers, hardening communication lines, etc. Making a difference, right? Wrong, in ME3, if Garrus is dead, is there any noticeable difference in the way things play out? None whatsoever. Not. One. Thing. The only difference is that you don't talk to Garrus on Palaven's moon, and you don't have a guide to help you find Victus, but you still find Victus. And nothing any of the squadmates do in ME3 matters, except for Tali, Legion/Fake Legion, Liara and EDI, so it's not like there's any reason to trumpet Garrus' accomplishments in ME3 either.

So yeah, Garrus is a bro, he's a fun character, and all that good stuff, but he's just a hired gun, someone who will drop whatever he's doing to follow the main character around. That's nice from a character standpoint, but for a character to be truly great, his or her actions in the game should amount to more than just being a friend to the main character. Just my opinion, naturally.


This is true, but it does not change my view on Garrus in anyway. He's still my favorite NPC in any video game ever.

Oh I'd put him on my list. His awkward sense of humor (ME2-3) alone makes up for it. And there's also top notch VA, badassery, moral ambiguity, conflicting ethics, drama and a great sense of friendship with the main character (you).

You're picking favourites out of the ME cast? Impossible I say. It's a tie between all of them

Garrus is space batman. Mordin is space... uhhh....... damnit I can't think of a good equivalent. Legion is the awesomest synthetic in the galaxy. Liara is kinda... a blue Indiana Jones, with more sexy. And so on and so forth.

Is this thread a joke? I mean I like Garrus but he is in no way one of the best ever in history.

Besides. You can't possibly resist his anime hair.

It's been out since March 28. I'm playing it right now actually. 4 Missions in to very hard mode in DMC3. Currently playing as Dante with the LDK costume.

Sparda ftw! Because him having a monocle just plain makes him better than everyone else.

Top 5 easy.

It's funny, I didn't use Garrus much for my 3 ME1 and first 2 ME2 playthroughs. I used him a lot in my third ME2 playthrough and realized just how awesome he was. For ME3 it was Liara and Garrus all the way.

Garrus is a godly character. A true bro. I would gobble up a garrus game in a heart beat.

I love Garrus, but Legion and Wrex would be above him for me and I don't think they'd be in my top ten.

Didn't Rex win the award for best sidekick in ME1? As a general rule, the best ever has to beat the other people in the game.

In ME1, you could cause Garrus's views to evolve. In contrast, I don't see the same level of evolution in him after the first game. He's still a fantastic character, but compared with Wrex, he's just not that complex. I would say that Miranda (especially if you read the stuff about her in the LotSB terminal) is the second most iconic/dynamic character in the series. Next, I'd say Tali. So many interesting developments/character growth.

Garrus 0wns. The best sidekick ever, and he was written perfectly in ME3.

I'm pretty sure a cool dude like him would hate the endings :).
