With the Shepards who use snipers sure I let them win, I have to pretend they're better shots than my gameplaying makes them anyway.
The contest is rigged to stroke the gamers ego. It's like Kaidan reassuring Shepard that their biotics are just as good if not better than his. My non snipers don't have the skill to win against Garrus.

I do because Garrus is a bro. He doesn't know I let him win and never will.

They should have just made the options say "hit the bottle" or "miss the bottle" allowing the player to decide whether it's missed on purpose or not. It's the "miss on purpose" part that gets dodgy. Most Sheps aren't as good a sniper as Garrus, so it would make perfect sense for them to miss it from an RP perspective.

Since it says "miss on purpose" my FemShep hits it because she wouldn't lie to Garrus. Also, his line if a romanced FemShep misses is pretty annoying.

Also I'd like to know what romancers did because in my case my shep is an infiltrator...it makes more sense for her to hit it but you don't get romance dialogue if you do *grumble*.If there had been I'm sure would have picked it more.

Now, I'm not saying saying that letting Garrus win makes you bad person...
Actually, wait, that IS what I am saying.


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

Not missing the shot.
Not accepting LI liaras gift.
Not even going to see her after thessia.
Not letting Tali survive for garrus.

Tomato, tomato.

I'm not sure I count "That's ok, I know you're good at... other things" as romance dialogue.

My FemShep's a Sentinel, so I would have chosen "miss" if it had been an honest one, but since the choice is "lie" or "don't lie," she hits the bottle. Doesn't mean she's a better shot than Garrus.

[Banul]

I like to imagine that Garrus is just a better shot than Shepard, and that Shepard genuinely misses the shot.

[Mike 9987]

Yeah, I roleplay that garrus is better.

In all honesty I think Garrus is a better shot with the sniper rifle than I am, however the choices are to win or lose on purpose and to lose on purpose to someone who you are grooming to be, I like to think of him as my successor, doesn't seem right to me, I want him to be the best. If he sees me as an obstacle to overcome, a goal to reach my level or however you want to put it then me winning will push him even harder and result in him continuing to try and improve his skills than thinking he is already the best and risking him coasting on that.

[Hadeedak]

Hey, if they'd given me a chance to vanguard charge that bottle, I would have clicked that like lightening.

I'm 90% sure that Shepard had never used anything that wasn't a pistol (for as little time as possible: ME1 before I put points in shotgun and ME2/ME3 during welcome to the game time). the assault rifle (in that one scene on Earth), or the Cain and its cousins. Except shotguns. Which were all. I. Used. It was a matter of principle and RP. I play vanguard with shotgun and fists. Melee, charge, melee, charge, nova, hey, it's a system.

If I could have, she probably would have missed the first shot, too. "Sweetie, this is nice, but what the blazes is this gun?"

[TK514]

Because it's a game and I prefer the scene when he wins.

[DeinonSlayer]

Engineer (Laura) misses.
Vanguard (Jane) misses.
Infiltrator (Nolan) hits.
Soldier (Jayne) misses.

I roleplayed it. All made honest efforts to hit the target. Those who missed, legitimately missed. Except Jane... but she was romancing him anyway.

I don't believe Shepard is a better sniper than Garrus, at least any non-Infiltrator Shepards. I think it's dumb that you can beat him at all. In any case, he gives up really quickly.

But to be honest, I missed because it was cute. My Shepard was on a date and she was more happy seeing her boyfriend happy.

I already know Garrus is an amazing sniper. Garrus already knows he's an amazing sniper. Losing isn't going to crush him, winning isn't going to make him worse, so why not let him have his moment? Garrus doesn't have so much pride that it would destroy him either way, and my Shepard is not so insecure that she has to prove she's #1 all the time. She already did it with Vega, she already hears it from her fanboys, she doesn't need that from Garrus too.

I think a bad person is one who over-analyzes a moment of joy they had with friends to decide if they were being 100% honest and then vilifies them if they weren't. Just sayin'.

Believe it or not I did this just yesterday ( before I saw the game stats ), I was playing a Vanguard  femshep and I just did not have the heart kick his ass after all the bragging he was doing before hand. I also agree with MassivelyEffective0730 in that I think Garrus knows you let him win.

Mainly this. I don't think my Infiltrator will let him win But then again, it also depends on your Shep. Sometimes it's good for morale, so yeah

But then the questions is would Garrus wan't a friend that treats him like a seven year old.

You have entirely missed the point of my earlier example.

[Spartas Husky]

No never, that is disrespectful letting someone win based on ego.

Now that doesn't mean you cant let someone win however, if there is a prize at stake and he or she needs it more than you do then yeah let them win.

Perfect example is TOp Shot season 2 or 3. 3 last guys. 2 of them were friends. One said he would spend the 100k on buying furniture, and weapons. The other said he was going to send his kids to college.

In the last trial the father was having trouble, and his friend missed an incredibly easy shot. I believe he wasted it to give the older friend a chance to send his kids to college.

If there is NOTHING but your ego at stake, no need to let anyone win, is disrespectful.

[afgrdnq1]

My soldier and Infiltrator sheps are the only ones that should be able to win. The rest prefer close range and powers to sniper rifles so understandably lose. I made my choice based on classes.

[merylisk]

One of my Shepards is a Vanguard, one is a Sentinel. I don't see either as being a sharpshooter, so I RP'ed that they missed because they are just straight up not as good with sniper rifles as Garrus is.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

It's called being a Friend.

Because he's Garrus.

I felt like even if my Shepard had tried, he would've missed anyway.

When I play games with friends, I don't lose deliberately. That defeats the point. I might let a 4 year old win/draw, but an adult? No. It says "I'm so confident that I would win if I tried, and I don't think you could handle it if you lost". It's arrogant and patronising.

[Straw Nihilist]

It's called being a hella good bro! I'm sure Garrus, who was always in shepards shadow, would have srsly gotten a self esteem-gasm from finally being better than shep at something
