Yeah, Dredd's kinda Lawful Neutral.

Garrus is more Lawful Evil





Garrus is chaotic good. 
or at lest the broad deffantion of it.  he loths evil and injustace, but can't handle the red tape that comes with being lawful.


on topic, 
I like him , he is loyal and kicks ass. but he isn't without fult. none of the charcters are. 

plus he is space batman.

He follows you into hell - no questions asked. With some funny banter and insults along the way.

good posts everyone Garrus is fun because he recognises the galaxies greyness from the turian military days strict discipline no question. or the opaqueness and burecratic stalemate of C-sec and he is funny as hell .

and he will back sheppard and squadmates he is a better moral compass for shep then kaiden who is to much of a whiny **** at times who quite frankly i don't mind shooting the ****** pillock kaiden. or be ultimate renegade let Garrus shoot him ..

Like some people's opinion of Liara (I'm personally a Liara-phile), I found the friendship between my Shep and Garrus quite out of place. The line "there is no Shepard without Vakarian", I was like, really? I never took him anywhere anyway. Was also personally perturbed that Liara was dumped back to the Normandy the moment Garrus turned up on the scene. For me, there is no Shepard without T'Soni.


Have Garrus die on the SM, and Liara will be with you for the whole of Menae. Some Talimancers always make sure Garrus dies as they can't stand the innuendo between Garrus and Tali.

I'm like that with the entire ME1 cast, and for EDI (while she's a squadmate.) I don't understand their draw or appeal. They're just people who happened to be in the same place as my Shepard, whom he used for his own purposes. It was far less than ideal.

In ME2, he was actively picking up people for his team, with knowledge and information from dossiers, and later from them themselves. He worked to bring them together. He worked to make them bring the absolute best of their abilities together, and he worked to make them do this as a team. 

The ME2 team is his team, and add Javik and James in there because they've earned a place in that group as well. But of all of them, he knows that without Miranda, he never could have been successful as she was his firm hand to keep him straight. She's his irreplaceable team-member. Their partnership as an effective leader and executor was stellar and perfect, and that's how the team was as great as it was.

Everyone loves Garrus because he almost never questions Shepard over the course of the trilogy, and apparently characters that do suck.

I don't hate Garrus (I like the guy, but he doesn't deserve the praise), but he's certainly not one of my favourites. I prefer Ashley, Javik, Wrex, Mordin, and Legion.

Garrus is an asskisser.

Yep, he's a very good sidekick/buddy material.
He gets a lot of use alongside Javik in ME3 for me because my favourites from ME2 such as Miranda/Kasumi/Jack/Mordin got ditched.

Garrus is well liked because he fulfills all the requirements. He is experienced, competent, badass on occassion, a steady head, etc...

The only complaints I have ever seen about him are the forced buddy moments in ME3.  And that he doesnt seem to stick up for his own opinion, most noticably if the quarians are killed.

Because he's not the hero Omega deserves, but the one it needs.

I remember way back when I first played Mass Effect thinking Garrus was cool. I don't think it was his character story because I couldn't really relate back then, but it was definitely the dialogue and VO/delivery of lines that made me a fan.

Roll on to ME 2 and I was genuinely thrilled to see him return. I went into it spoiler-free and the Archangel mission was definitely a highlight - and first emotional moment. Because I never really connected to Miranda and Jacob, Garrus became my most used squad mate quite early on.

Couple that with original Mass Effect nostalgia sparked by ME 3 and Garrus along with Shepard is one of the characters that ground the ME universe and story for me.

For me it was gradual.

ME1:

-Human squadmates: I found Ashley annoying and Kaidan boring
-Tali: Whiny, ALWAYS complaining about the geth and playing the victim; I rubbed the fact the quarians were responsible for the geth on her face whenever possible
-Liara: Creepy as hell needy attitude, always all over you, I'd stay a thousand miles away from her if she was a real person

Wrex was fun and Garrus seemed like a cool guy with potential (plus, I have a voice fetish). Their powers complemented my newbie self really well so I kept them with me for almost the whole game.

ME2:

Garrus is the first of the old squadmates you can get back. When everything was new and uncertain, having him made me feel more at ease (same with Joker, actually, I was not a fan of his in the first game but having him back made me happy). He was reliable and nice, unlike others. 

And he had been doing interesting things. His powers still complemented me and were extremely useful so I took him pretty much everywhere (so that I could always have his sassy ass, cool powers and sexy voice around).

I was disappointed by his lack of lines, though. Especially because I played MaleShep in my first playthough.

ME3:

By this time, Garrus was my favorite 100%. He had been with me from the beginning, always being loyal and useful. I love his attitude, his character development and his powers. So the story of him becoming Shepard's Best Friend fits my playing style like a glove.

I love Wrex too; I took him everywhere the first time I played the Citadel DLC.

I got to like Liara a bit better (don't hate her anymore) and Tali became more interesting after she got older.

Because Garrus is turian Shepard, and people love their minimes.

I might have replied to this thread before, but hell.

Why is Garrus loved? Well...

1. Garrus is Batman in the future.

2. Garrus has a gun.

3. Garrus has a gun...which is a sniper rifle.

4. Garrus is a bro and is known to be related to Vernon Roche somehow.

5. Garrus is good in bed (for the ladies) or else why would Fem Shep keep him around for more than just interspecies sex.

6. Garrus knows how to smooth talk and dance with the ladies. Making him not only a bro, but a LAD.

7. Garrus knows Kung-Fu

8. He also knows Taekwondo.

9. Garrus was voted to be the Primarch but was disqualified due to being too much competition for the others.

10. Garrus, though incredibly ugly for human standards, still manages to retain a +10 in the sexy meter.

11. Garrus' voice is known to save babies and cause orgasms.

12. Garrus is the only other person to mock Shepard for his one liners.

13. Garrus is Garrus. Just like Batman is Batman.

14. You can win an arguement by just saying 'Garrus.' The logic is so undisputedly flawless that it can turn the most logical Vulcan into mental jelly.

15. Garrus.

16. Garrus has reach and flexibility.

17. Garrus is the dispenser of justice in an unjust galaxy.

18. It is known that many lesbian Shepards have converted to the church of Garrus.

19. He has assassinated every member of the WBBC.

20. Garrus drinks with Darth Vader and duels with Darth Maul on weekends.

I never understood the level of love he gets either. I like him, and that is saying a lot considering I don't like how ME3 handled squadmates (unless you're talking about Javik, 'cause he's awesome). But he is not one of my special four.

I don't know whether to vomit or shake your hand. I hate the complete worship of Garrus in this response, but you said Garrus so many times this argument must be sound. This is perplexing.

He doesn't have a vagina.

No, seriously. If Garrus had been a female character you would have seen umpteen threads complaining that Garrus is forced on the player. And that would just be the mild complaints.

People like different characters. I also don't get the Garrus love affair. I suspect people who love Varric also love Garrus. They're the same kind of character.

Garrus is a sycophant. He, Liara, and Tali are all suckups (especially Team Dextro) to the player and not surprisingly they are also the most popular characters.

Amusingly Garrus is also a worse "forced friend" than Liara.

I dislike Garrus (he has more in common with Anders imo), but I certainly love Varric!
