A little late to the party here, so I'll have to backtrack a bit: to the person who asked whether female gamers would mind sharing the Garrus romance with maleSheps, I certainly wouldn't. I think that especially in Garrus' case, gender has very little meaning.



Another point I wanted to make: I love it how the Archangel quest and later the loyalty quest pave way for the romance. It felt very natural for Shepard to begin seeing Garrus in a completely new light during those quests. When Garrus is shot at the end of the Archangel quest, the player can take Shepard's reaction in two ways: seeing a very good friend go down, or seeing someone she didn't realise she cared about so much going down. For me, it was the perfect situation for femShep to notice that maybe there was more to her feelings than just friendship.



Later on, you actually get to have meaningful talks with Garrus about the way he wants to resolve the loyalty quest, and even there, romantic undercurrents can be detected, at least if one wants to see it that way. I love it how ambiguous the writers made those two quests and thus allowed the players to fill in the gaps themselves. Very well done.

...WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE WITH THEMS SNAZZY AVATARS?

Whoa. Caps not intended (yay, Ventrilo hotkey!) but I'm leaving it that way.
Anyway...I thought this was established pages ago - Shepard would totally wear wedding armor. But...you know. I could actually picture her getting secretly excited picking out a dress, but then going with the armor anyway.
Personally, I see her being comfortable with one of those quickie Vegas-type weddings. Or, hell, just one day going up to Joker and saying "Marry us." Which...doesn't make too much sense since he's the pilot, not the captain.
What the hell...what am I going on about...?
Quick! Something more on-topic! Um...an epilogue that actually had a cutscene and not just walls of text would be preferable. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, DRAGON AGE.

Yeah, FemShep would definitely be for the no-hassle wedding. Not like she has any family to invite if you picked two of the three origins, anyway.

Thanks for the eye candy, Nadia! Man, he's.. Just. So. Awesome. Love the one where he's holding the gun up especially.

I agree completely. There is serious chemistry between them in the reunion scene alone. I think it's a little of both. She obviously cares for him as a close friend, and just doesn't realize yet that it's more. There's just something there, a comfortableness between them that you don't see with any of the other characters, especially not with Garrus and anyone else.

And -definitely- getting into full-fledged romantic feelings in the loyalty quest. The way JH delivers her lines in the shuttle is absolutely perfect.

I can't figure out at all which color are his eyes... x) sometimes seems blue,grey,yellow,green...damn!

Popping back in.



I finally got to the romance cutscene and I bawwed, hard. I was very happy that it was romantic, and didn't really give that "friends with benefits" vibe I had going. But I ended up screwing up and having to play half my game again (D'OH, not that I minded) and I started to really pay attention to all the normal interaction Shep and Garrus had. Someone mentioned that this was the meat of the romance, and I must agree.



Garrus's loyalty mission is especially interesting for Paragon Sheps. My main Shep usually leans that way. I like the thought of Garrus and Shepard occasionally being at odds in a romantic situation. Especially if the Shep is Earthborn, like my main. Think about it: Earthborn Shep was raised on the streets, possibly a criminal all her early life. Maybe she's seen what happens when people give up on what's left of the good in them. Maybe all of that just strengthened her resolve not to let go of that part of herself. I like to think that an Earthborn Paragon Shep does what she does for Garrus because she doesn't want to see him end up like that.



And the little conversation on Tuchanka that Garrus and Shepard have on Mordin's loyalty mission stuck out, too. It was the first time I'd heard Shep start talking to the squaddies while just running around (that I can recall) and that kind of... playful-banter-in-a-dangerous-situation is the sort of dynamic I love between Garrus and Shep.



But that's just me... fangirling. Oh man, and fangirling hard, too.



I did laugh that Garrus wore his scouter-thing for an intimate encounter. Is it grafted onto his head? Not that I mind if it is, but still. I chuckled.

Yes, I agree with both of you. I definitely got the same feeling while playing the game. The writers probably didn't intend it that way, but that's alright. It's just more fun to roleplay that way.

Garrus? As far as I can tell they're gray with flecks of pale green and blue, but it seems really hard to decipher.



EDIT: Here's another look.



After further analysis, I'd call them... Cool-toned spectrum? >_>

Love Garrus. I'll join up!

[Xalena]

lol What happened on last pic? xD so he IS BIOTIC GOD! I knew it!

[Captyamato]

Garrus is my male Shep's BFF. I actually jumped up in joy when they brought him back.

Oh yeah. One of the things I like best about Garrus as an LI is that he doesn't agree with Shepard all the time. How boring is it that all of your LI options are -always- agreeing with you? But on the other side of that coin, you'd never see Garrus doing what Kaidan does in ME2. He trusts Shepard enough to give her the benefit of the doubt, even if he may not agree with what she's doing.

And as for the Tuchanka banter, I just wish we had more of that. Just because Garrus is my FemShep's LI now doesn't mean he can't still be her joking war buddy.

They were definitely blue in the first game, but now they're a greenish bluish gold.

Yes, this! It's not a matter of always agreeing, but always having your back. Shepard is Garrus's point man. Of love. At least, that's how I see it.

Yeah, I love all of his little comments. They reallyed upped his smartass levels in this game, and I don't mind at all.

lol! Agreed. Even while distraught at Garrus' brush with the dark side, I couldn't help but laugh when he headbutted the guy and said something like, 'I didn't shoot him'.

That made me  afterwards, though. 

[solid_falcon]

I made an account on this site simply to post in this thread.
I am a Garrus fangirl, obviously. Loved him since ME1; even denied romancing Kaiden and Liara because I wanted him! After discovering he was able to be romanced in ME2 I jumped for joy and now I patiently await the outcome of their blossoming relationship in ME3.

But I must say; after lurking on these forums for the past three/four days; I finally succumbed and had to make an account to post here just so I could say: You guys amuse me to no end. The pictures and videos you post are hilarious. And some of the in-depth posts about the relationship between FemShep and Garrus made me feel a whole lot better after reading it was probably a fling. Believe me; I didn't see their relationship as that at first, but after hearing what so many people said it kinda bummed me out. But man; your guys' posts just regained what I had originally believed. So my thanks!

So please, continue on! I demand more awesome and hilariousness from this thread! And of course more Garrus. But who here doesn't want that? ;D
