Because, my Shepard is a terrible sniper! Winning against someone trained to use a sniper feels... weird...

My Shepard isn't a sniper, so I really dislike the idea that he's as good with a sniper rifle as Garrus...
So my Shepard didn't let him win, he just plain missed...


A pretty good point. None of my Shepard's ever use sniper rifles. They're not snipers. They're on the ground combat fighters, using more close range weapons, as well as the omni-blade, and/or biotics. The only reason that I have them carrying a sniper rifle in ME1/ME2 is that you're required to actually have something in that slot, but the 75 kills with a sniper rifle is (excluding the 'Insanity' run and the Pinnacle Station ones) the only ME1 achievement I haven't gotten because I'm not a fan of them. So from the start, Garrus was asking them to use a weapon they have little familiarity with. Pretty good reason to miss.

As for me, I've always missed because I don't need to have Shepard be considered 'the best shot.' Not to mention, Garrus having some fun at my expense is good for morale. We're there to relax, I don't need to bring my A game. This is just a chance to unwind.

THIS

Sure, we gotten used to Shepard being able to do well, everything but it does feel weird to have my vangaurd shotgun CGC specialist Shepard being able to beat a sniper...a turian sniper.....a turian sniper that has killed two men with one bullet.

Nope.

My Shep's too competitive to let Garrus win.

So you lie to and patronize your bros?


Do you beat your bros into the ground at games of skill because you can? Some friend you are.


Um, yes?

Have I ever mentioned how much I love this community? It would only bother him if he ever found out and he won't.

I'm actually annoyed that there's no way for him to win fair and square. I mean, it would make sense for an Infiltrator or a Soldier to be an expert sniper, but as a Vanguard? Adept? Perhaps the outcome of the match should not be decided by Shepard either deciding to hit or miss on purpose, but on whether s/he has any experience with sniper rifles. For example, 5+ missions with a sniper rifle equipped means Shepard will hit and anything less means Shepard will miss.

So this is where headcanon rears its ugly but necessary head again as there's no "let him win or not" option for me. If I'm a Soldier or an Infiltrator, I will hit. If I'm any of the other classes, I will miss because I may know how to wield a sniper, but I'm simply not an expert.

If I can, yes. Because they deserve to be treated as a challenge, not a child.

They're two bros hanging out, drinking and goofing around.  They don't know if they'll be alive the next day or if they'll make it out alive.  I'll gladly let him think he's better than reaper killer Shepard if it makes him happy.

I'm being trolled, but how's this: My Shepard isn't a sniper. Good enough?

Do what the citadel and omega DLC did. class interrupts.

If you were an infiltrator, you should be given the option of hitting the target with one interrupt.
If you were a soldier, you be allowed after hitting two or three interrupts
if you were any other class, no option given to hit the target...

Going forward, I hope the BW team makes more use of the class interrupts we saw in those last DLC

Now, what Bioware should've done is what they did in the last two DLCs (Omega and Citadel). Allow for your class to determine whether or not you could make the shot....thus, if you were a non-infiltrator you wouldn't even be offered the choice whereas only infiltrators could make it....

Or actually have to make the shot yourself anyway, but Inflitrators get the time slowdown thing.

I let Garrus win when using my Soldier and Adept, but when I had my infiltrator he got owned. Especially since with that infiltrator I only used snipers/pistols and incinerate.

Because I...

moater boat wrote...

Edit: If you missed because you were actually roll playing and your Shepard simply wasn't as good as Garrus, that makes sense.


... yeah, that. Great, you went and answered your own question for me...

Yes, despite my Shepard using a Sniper Rifle nigh-constantly, Garrus beat him that time. Shepard's of the opinion that Garrus was cheating, since Shep wasn't allowed his Kuwashii Visor, but Garrus was allowed his own Turian visor (nor was Shepard allowed to use his own favourite rifle - the N7 Valiant). (I note that my Shepard is an infiltrator, and I simply pretend there was a long hard fought contest between the two, rather than just two rounds...)

I think it would have worked better if the shot had been put in as an interrupt, rather than saying 'let Garrus win' (or whatever the exact wheel text was). Makes it easier to roleplay Garrus as being the better shot, rather than Shepard deliberately missing.

Yeah, this would have been a perfect setting for one of those.

However, since it wasn't an option, I always choose to let Garrus win the thing since it makes no sense for my Adept and Engineer Sheps to be beating him at his specialization.

Agreed, that would've been perfect.

I like to think that letting Garrus win is the action of a Shepard who on some level doesn't expect to come back from the coming conflict and is grooming his team into worthy successors. Being around Shepard, Garrus is very much defined by being overshadowed and needs to shed that if he's ever to become a leader in his own right.

Making the shot is the action of a Shepard who expects to stick around so that Garrus will have more chances to challenge them.

I usually let Garrus win because he takes the loss reeeeeeeeeally bad mostly.
Part is because i'm not allowed to use my Shepard to full strength though. He's a good shot, really, but if was allowed to adrenaline rush off the bridge, spray a full Revenant clip at the bottle and then omni blading it in the pool..... then i'd win all the time
