Finished the game last night.

I expected to remain loyal to Kaiden. I didn't even like Garrus in the first game all that much - thought he was a bit boring. Then he comes into the second game all amusing and interesting and with brand new, super cool sexy scar... and then Kelly mentions that we would make a cute couple, and I'm all - "I can do that?!"

The romance was cute, but I wanted some closure. I much prefer Garrus to Kaiden, so I was hoping I'd be able to confirm that I wanted it to be more than "blowing off steam". Also, I feel cheated with the whole fade to black nonsense. I was hoping for a Mass Effect 1 style sex scene... I wanted to know how that was going to work out...

I want to start my second playthrough now and romance Thane, but.... agh... this overly attached loser is gonna have a hard time picking someone else.

Seriously? After the Mordin conversation, I'm actually glad Bioware did a fade-to-black with no nudity. (A little more innuendo would have been nice - Shepard pulling up Garrus' shirt, more touching - but whatever.) Honestly, I imagine before they actually had sex, Garrus and Shepard had to sit down and pull out Mordin's diagrams and explain their body parts to each other. Which would have been hilarious, but I might have passed out from the awkward. Hell, they probably at least had to take a minute to figure out how to kiss!

"Shepard, what is that?"
"Oh, Mordin gave me this stuff. He said it prevents, uhh, chafing."
"That's, umm, good, I guess. He also told me not to let you, umm, ingest . . . me. Do humans commonly eat each other during sex?"
"It's called a ******."
"What's a ******? I've heard human C-Sec officers mention them once or twice."
"It's good you didn't ask them." :P

I would pay good money to see that conversation play out. XD

I still can't believe they turned Garrus into a romance-able party member. Just wow.

I was shocked, but in a very good "pinch me this can't be real" kind of way.  Then I squee'd.

Honestly, Garrus and Shepard were NOT planning on just cuddling before jumping the relay. There was no ambiguity with what they wanted to do and Mordin sealed it. XD I suppose it was a good thing they faded-to-black, but I still would have wanted to see something a little more. :3 Still, it works and at least we get Garrus. ^^

I booted up my save file where I was going to stay loyal to Kaidan, and I'm having a hell of a time saying no to Garrus. D:

[Nissun]

 I... I have lump in my throat. I don't feel so well, and I'm trying to determine why it is. Maybe it's not about Garrus. Maybe i just played the game too fast, and I feel kinda... dissapointed.

At the game. At the romance. I should be gleeing now, but I'm not. I mean, Garrus is a romance. It's "official", you know. It happened.

But... Maybe I expected too much. More dialogue. Different. Not just about sex. More... Intimate.
It had me worried for a while, what you all said about him considering their relationship just "a fling". Maybe because I'm not familiar with how relationships work. Not in real life, not even in fiction. How reliable and healthy is a "friends with benefits" relationship? Are friendship and romance mutually exclusive?

But then I tried to look at things from a different point of view. Their point of view. Think more about what's happening to Shepard, what's happened to Garrus. I'm not good at that (that's why I don't write fanfiction), but it helped me understand.

Shepard is resurrected: She wakes up on an unknown facility after dying, adrift in space (anyone else find that scene terrifying?), and is put in charge of a dangerous mission surrounded by strangers, employees of Cerberus, nonetheless. Joker is a good friend, but her squad were the ones that were really close to her.

Then you go rescue Archangel... And it turns out her turian has become a legend on the streets of Omega. Unexpected for her, as well as him, to meet again in that situation. And then you take him with you. He is the closest friend she has on board, because you get Tali much later. Closest. Friend. Damn, Shepard. Should have welcomed him into the ship with a hug!

After that I was thinking about Garrus. His line before the suicide mission, in Shepard's cabin, made me think and consider things differently, and was unexpected if we compare it to the previous dialogues. At least, it seems to me.
CSec, his work as Archangel... None went well. He wants "that" to go well.

His time with Shepard may have been the best he's had in ages, and the possibility to be even closer to her arises. His commander, his colleague. He respects her more than anyone in the galaxy. He knows she worries about him. And he's trying to do things right. With what purpose? "Bedding" her? Just "blowing off steam"? There is more to it than that. There must be. If there wasn't this would all be a joke from the writers, right?

He cares about her.

Then why, I ask, WHY had the writers to make it so blunt by beginning with "blowing off steam" offerings?? (refering to a past experience with a female colleague, nonetheless!) Was it because they thought it suited better his changed personality? I have to say, his character development was INCREDIBLE. Was it that they thought it wouldn't suit him to talk about feelings? That approaching the matter casually was more like him?

Someone help me here, because I'm a little lost. Of course I'm not asking for a conventional romance. Dating, with chocolate boxes and watching movies, or whatever couples do these days. They are soldiers, we can't forget that. I don't think they have long term relationships in mind in the shape of a marriage, a house in the suburbs, or whatever. But why just "blowing off steam" had to be made so obvious, and the sentimental side so... subtle? Why it feels to me that it has to be read between the lines?

Am I wrong when I think that the ambiguity is a bad thing, when something tells me it's better for the quality of a written romantic story? Is it just that I don't trust my instincts, and I don't dare stating "yes, Shepard and Garrus feel love for each other, and will stay together and loyal, side by side, for more than sex"?

It's like I'm afraid of believing in something that isn't really there... It seems too obvious, too plausible. Believable. But still, not clearly explained. That irks me.

I'm not talking about the ambiguity of the "did they had sex, or didn't they?" scene. I'm not worried about that.


tl;dr: I think I understood, and I'm currently trying to make my peace with, how the Garrus romance was done. But I think I may be wrong, and I ask others.
Sorry for the long post This is like... it would belong in a journal. Sorry.

Why is no one on the Garrus group? It's kind of weird glowing about him on the forums

We get to CUDDLE with Garrus, that is awesome enough for me. I'm so glad they left ithe love scene to the imagination.

I'm in the G-Chat with Riou right now.

Interjecting to say "blowing off steam" is the equivalent of the "licking a lamppost" comment from Alistair in Dragon Age.  It's talking about sex without directly mentioning it...dancing around it. Garrus doesn't have a fetish for humans; but he's more than willing to consider physical intimacy with Shepard.  This alone speaks of how he feels for her, that she's far more than a "fling."  He's willing to cross species barriers, something he's never even considered before, because it's her and he respects no one else more in the galaxy.

Garrus, as you mentioned, has a lot of character development...he also has a great many layers to him.  He's confident and self-assure with many matters, but with Shepard he isn't...and he wants desperately for it to go right.

But why just "blowing off steam" had to be made so obvious, and the sentimental side
so... subtle? Why it feels to me that it has to be read between the lines?

I didn't think the emotional side was subtle...if you read between the lines, if you take him at his words, he's very clear.  He isn't "into" other species.  He's "into" Shepard.  He cares about (loves?) her enough to be willing to cross that threshold.  And the "blowing off steam" thing is, of course, an allusion to his conversation regarding his time spent with a female turian (which Shepard then grabs hold of to ease him into the idea of being intimate with her).

Am I wrong when I think that the ambiguity is a bad thing, when something tells me it's better for the quality of a written romantic story? Is it just that I don't trust my instincts, and I don't dare stating "yes, Shepard and Garrus feel love for each other, and will stay together and loyal, side by side, for more than sex"?

Don't worry, it's not just about sex.  Again, and remember...Garrus doesn't have a fetish for humans.  Other species don't turn him on...but Shepard does.  It's all about her, not her species.

It's like I'm afraid of believing in something that isn't really there... It seems too obvious, too plausible. Believable. But still, not clearly explained. That irks me.

I'm not talking about the ambiguity of the "did they had sex, or didn't they?" scene. I'm not worried about that.

If they don't love eachother at this point, they respect and care very deeply for one another (as friends, comrades, fellow warriors,  and lovers).

I think they both know it's not just about "blowing off steam," but neither of them are very adept at explaining feelings. Think about the romances in ME1, did you ever hear Shepard say that she loved them? She's a soldier, and regardless of what background you chose, she didn't have the best life for forming attachments.

There's a lot that goes unsaid between Garrus and Shepard, but I have faith that BioWare will have that relationship evolve in the third game. Besides, real relationships are built off of friendship, trust, and respect. It might not be the whirlwind sweep you off your feet romance you see in movies and books, but it's the lasting kind. The relationship with Garrus drew so many parallels to my own relationship in real life, it's probably why I enjoyed it so much.

I went through a lot of bull**** with my man, and we'd been friends since we were 12 through thick and thin. We've seen some horrible things together, and were there for each other when it was most necessary. I know that he'll always have my back and vice versa. We don't burn with passion for each other, but we're inseparable all the same. I can't imagine a world where I don't have my best friend and companion by my side, and my Shepard feels the same way about Garrus.

lol

Yeah, there wasn't much closure, it seems, and I agree that the final romance scene left me wanting.  I mean...it cuts off way too quickly.  I'll accept that we wouldn't see a naked Garrus and Shepard, but something a little more...ME1-sexy-ish would have been awesome. Still, I'm grateful there's a Garrus romance in the first place. XD

Also, apparently Garrus is supposed to say something regarding your relationship post-Collector base, but I guess it's just buggy as heck (doesn't trigger in my game).  So...here's hoping for a patch to fix that because I want some ME2 acknowledgment, darnit!

Damn. Maybe someone can look into the PC versions code and pry out the text or something? If he would at least make mention that we're lovers now I'd be happy. I don't care that us garrus lovers had the shortest and most uneventful love scene, I care about getting my chance to at least say I love you to Garrus! Or hear him say anything back. I don't want this to be considered anything other than love D: 

I love Bioware for giving this to us though and I am very happy to have this chance at all. But you can't craft something so perfect and beautiful and then offer no solid closure to us.. At least the Tali fans got that much. Hell they even had a very active 'love' scene there.

He is? So that's true? Well damn, I didn't get that either. I feel totally jilted. I'd like to know what he has to say afterwards. It would make sense to have him say something new, seeing as you've survived the suicide mission and theres a giant unknown now hanging over their heads. 

Patch indeed. Maybe by the time I've finished playing through ME1 again on my online gamertag they'll have it. Damn gamertags anyway...I got stuck with an offline character due to a convoluted story concerning my personal harddrive, a refurbished x-box that died after 8 hours, and forgetting to recover my gamertag on my harddrive. And my very first play through of ME1 is on my brother's harddrive under my gamertag, which no longer works on his harddrive because I did finally recover it on mine. What a mess. Sorry about the random story. 

I didn't realize that dallying about killed your crew off after the IFF mission when I fist did it, and it turns out that I miss-managed my saves (which I had a ton of too) so that the most recent one before the crew is gone is ten hours back...arghh. It would hurt more if the game wasn't so much fun to play. 

I had misgivings about the whole "blowing of steam" thing at first too, but I think that once you go through with it, it's pretty plain that there's more going on than just a fling. Garrus wouldn't be getting so emotional and nervous over something like that, and as was already stated, he doesn't have a fetish for humans - Shepard is special to him for other reasons. 

I'm on the fence when it comes to the scene itself. I liked it for the most part - I prefer the subtlety over an outright bare-skin sex scene, but that's because ME1's scene felt completely cheesy when I watched it. Same goes for Dragon Age - I burst out laughing, I'm sorry to say. So I'm rather glad they dispensed with that, though Prolefeed's little skit would have been hilariously awesome. 

That being said,  a tad more intimacy would have been nice, such as a kiss. It's not like Shepard can't do it. I mean, in V for Vendetta Evie kisses the guy's mask. It's the message it sends that's important, not whether there's actual tongue actions, .

^ Exactly. I think just her kissing his scar would have made the scene. She touched it, I would have planted a light kiss on it.

Though I disagree about the ME1 scenes, I thought they were tasteful. Dragon Age was definitely awkward, and that music didn't help matters. I, too, laughed at how ridiculous they were, but I thought the ME1 scenes were much better. Little flashes of skin, it was perfect.

A kiss on the scar would have done wonders for that scene. Or a hug.. You never had that. It is not much for us Garrus fans to ask for a scene that shows there is at least some degree of love there. So far I can see they care, but there is so much nervousness and awkwardness involved it overshadows any shows of affection and care they have together.

That...would have been so adorable.  I think it would have skyrocketed off the "sweet and touching" scale.  Had they faded to black after that, I would be very satisfied.  Gentle kiss on the scars, Garrus pulling her in for an embrace, slow fade to black.

Well, I'm probably not being entirely fair regarding the ME1 scene... A. I wasn't really into Kaiden to begin with and only romanced him on my first play through because he's the only choice I really had (wanted Garrus...), and B. I was raging sick at the time and threw up about an hour or two later, so I was in a lot of pain and not really focusing. 

I'm kind of weird about intimate things though - on a personal level, I consider intimacy of that nature to be a very private matter so I feel awkward looking in on two people engaging in such activities. When it comes down to it, I always prefer suggestion over the obvious in those cases.

EDIT* But a kiss on the scar would've been a very powerful message and made the scene complete. It's too bad they didn't go that far.

Oh, heck yes.

Though, I would have still liked some mid-sex flashes of what was going on. Like Garrus, I don't have an alien fetish, but I do like to know that my character got some. Not to say that my Shep didn't do the nasty... I just feel like I should have been there.

......

Too much was left to my imagination. I'm now getting flashes of Shep wearing chaps and work gloves to bed. What's worse is that I can't decide if I like the idea of that or not... WHY Bioware? WHY must you take my mind to these places?

Don't get me wrong...I want to see some Garrus-skin too, but I'd be satisfied with the other stuff.  ME1 style suggestive camera angles and dimmed lighting...mmm, yes please. :3

^ Exactly. I think just her kissing his scar would have made the scene. She touched it, I would have planted a light kiss on it.
Though I disagree about the ME1 scenes, I thought they were tasteful. Dragon Age was definitely awkward, and that music didn't help matters. I, too, laughed at how ridiculous they were, but I thought the ME1 scenes were much better. Little flashes of skin, it was perfect.

That...would have been so adorable.  I think it would have skyrocketed off the "sweet and touching" scale.  Had they faded to black after that, I would be very satisfied.  Gentle kiss on the scars, Garrus pulling her in for an embrace, slow fade to black.

Oh, heck yes.

Though, I would have still liked some mid-sex flashes of what was going on. Like Garrus, I don't have an alien fetish, but I do like to know that my character got some. Not to say that my Shep didn't do the nasty... I just feel like I should have been there.

......

Too much was left to my imagination. I'm now getting flashes of Shep wearing chaps and work gloves to bed. What's worse is that I can't decide if I like the idea of that or not... WHY Bioware? WHY must you take my mind to these places?

XD

Don't get me wrong...I want to see some Garrus-skin too, but I'd be satisfied with the other stuff.  ME1 style suggestive camera angles and dimmed lighting...mmm, yes please. :3

The question really is this; how open-minded is Bioware? They gave us Garrus but they gave us the least closure for our relationship and the least-eventful lovescene (though most emotional). Perhaps they are too scared to show a true alien interspecies relationship?

I wouldn't be surprised if they put the Garrus romance in at the last minute for the lulz.
..and now all the fans are like "Can we continue it in the 3rd game?"
Bioware: lol WUT!?

Seriously though, i hope they had enough presence of mind to plan out what might be in the future for our fav. OTP.
As it has been said before, maybe we all score and get a DLC with loads of extra dialogue (the crew giving you crap about your relationship), missions, messing with Kelly's mind some more and some hillarious interviews with that crazy punching bag reporter lady. (you know if she caught wind of the relationship, she wouldn't leave you alone) Maybe Garrus can punch her out this time!


..If i don't get any sort of continuation, Shepard is getting "accidently" airlocked.
Oops my bad. Can't save the galaxy now. KBYETHANX

A kiss on the cheek would've been sweet, but I really just wanted FemShep to -hug- him. ManShep got to hug Tali when she was hurting, and Garrus has been hurting for a lot longer. The poor guy needs a hug!



On another note, I think I'm too obsessed. I'm -supposed- to be trying the Thane romance this time around, but it's getting so hard not picking those romance options with Garrus...

[Annora]

You should do Thane, his romance is very... touching, and sad. And then you just feel like a big jerk, cause whether you romance him or not, he'll always call you 'siha' which is obviously a very special name for someone he loves.

[Xalena]

I always imagined it like--->touch face, kiss and hug, fade...why why they didn't give us that atleast -.-" grrr
Who knows what they are cooking for ME3...does anyone know when we should get first news about ME3? xD I can't remember when they started and how much time they needed to release first news about ME2.

Hugs: THIS

There is nobody in the game who needs a hug more than Garrus. 'Cept maybe Jack...and Thane.  Maybe Miranda too.
.....You know what, hugs all around, and Hugs AND Kisses for Garrus.
