How did you manage to get them both killed, anyway? Everyone's loyalty + use your head when assigning jobs = everybody lives.

Going back and redoing the mission already knowing what works the best really does take all the tension and drama out of that final run, though.

Garrus Vakarian is the definition of a Space Cowboy Cop.

Ok, now I SERIOUSLY need to write that fanfic

Da Captain: Dammit Garrus! You're a loose canon! Why can't you be more like your father! When I was partnered with him? That's how I got that comendation for valor on the wall right there!

Garrus: Speaking of, it's upside down Captain.

Da Captain: ...GET THE F**K OUT OF MY OFFICE VAKARIAN

This fic's Garrus Cop Flashbacks always make me laugh: The whole thing makes me giggle, actually.

Hee, I loved that! Especially the bit where she shut Ashley down. "Shut up, Ashley, important people are talking" is pretty much what I wanted to say every time Ashley voiced something in a conversation.

And then we can finally get confirmation on his age! My money is behind him being 3 to 5 years younger than Shep.

Eh, dunno. I think he's older, actually, given that Papa Vakarian pushed him to be an absolutely normal Turian, which means military service from 15-30. Then he'd have had to put in a few years to be the officer in charge of the Saren investigation - Pallin was a hard man to work for, but he wouldn't have put a rookie on it and just thrown the kid to the wolves, he had to know that investigation was going to be an exercise in futility. So my best guess is that Garrus was 34-36 at the time of ME1, so 36-38 at the time of ME2.

On the Sidonis situation (can you tell I'm catching up on some of these pages? -- and what the heck is a facebook G-chat? To me, G-chat is what I use in gmail. I'm old and don't know these things): My FemShep tried to dissuade him in the car, and then basically said to herself, "This man is by far and away my equal, who am I to take his decision-making ability and free will out of his hands?" and went on to mind her own damn business.

As far as the faceplate thing goes... ugh, I know it's really to make him stand out from other turians and to show his leet snipery skillz, but yes, I would love to get rid of it.

Omg, I just realized why these horn things on Turian legs remind me of cowboys - it's the guns. When a cowboy carries a gun on each side of their belt, the handle sticks out backwards just like those horns. Now I know why I feel like I'm in a wild west movie when I see Garrus in action oO

They are also rather spur-like, another mainstay of sexy cowboy attire.

Really? I'm going on my third run and I still find it exhilirating. You notice new things when you play it again, and taking different combinations of characters with you yields different lines and scenes (for example, if you don't take Garrus to the final battle, he gets shot in one of the door-holding cutscenes); I'm still hearing about side conversations that I haven't gotten. Then again, I'm a big RPG person. I'm in the middle of replaying FF7 again for god knows how many times, and that's got a hell of a lot less to it than ME2.

[LOLandStuff]

Anyone wonders in ME3 what Ashley's reaction would be (that if you didn't virmire her) if she sees Shepard and Garrus together? I imagine it to be something worst especially since he's a turian, unlike her reaction towards Liara.

[aznsoisauce]

As someone that (regrettably) gave Garrus a clear shot for Sidonis, I am almost completely sure you get three chances to get in the way. If I didn't loathe the fight before the Sidonis confrontation, I would reload and confirm this.

I'm with you, enormousmoonboots. The final mission is always intense for me and I must have run it...maybe 5 times (mostly testing endings where Mordin doesn't die). The first part where you send someone through the vents? ALWAYS nerve-wracking. As soon as that character says something like "I'm burning up in here, Shepard!" I just book it for the next 'open valve' button! As though I'm playing Joker again, I'm going "Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t!" between each valve.

Honestly? Well, not fatally. I always see thane holding the door and someone like miranda get nailed by some unseen shot, knocking her down. I guess everyone who doesn't take garrus gets to see him get shot and fall down instead? >_< (But c'mon, why not take garrus? FFS D:)

My first time through, it was crazy because I didn't know what would happen, but now, while it's still really fun and exciting, I know I'm not going to experience that same fear I did before. I know which characters will survive each task, so it's difficult for me to make a different choice on my next playthrough knowing that they'll die (or cause someone else too).

I can just imagine a Dungeons & Dragons player going "I'll charge the dragon!! If I die I'll just reload!"...lawl.

Anyways, reloading in a computer game when you get game over isn't the same thing as researching and tailoring the outcome of events after your wishes and for me (and I'm pretty sure others too) such things ruins the game experience. You're very welcome to reload as much as you wish to customize your outcome as long as you like it though, but at least to me that's more like writing a story than actually roleplaying.

And btw I'm pretty sure most games in general have a a feature to load a saved game, so how exactly is this unique to RPG's?? :S

How did you manage to get them both killed, anyway? Everyone's loyalty + use your head when assigning jobs = everybody lives.

had their loyalty and I believed I assigned them to jobs they were suited as. Garrus was the obvious choice in my mind for the solo mission (remember recruiting him?) and Tali felt like the best person for a leadership role considering her having previous leadership experience (Miranda would have been another choice, cept I didn't trust her, really like her or even have her loyalty).

Maybe I'm just not that smart or maybe loalty + using your head doesn't always do the trick. In any case I blame the FTL drive.

[Prolefeed]

Just a little convo I had floating around in my brain. (I'm still upset you couldn't talk to either Garrus or Thane about the emails you get from Dr. Michele and Jeirt.)



Shepard: So, Garrus, I hear Dr. Michele wants your dick.
Garrus: Everyone wants my dick. . . . Oh, Shepard. I didn't really, err, realize it was . . . you.
Shepard: Yeah, because I show up talking about your dick, obviously I'm in a stuffy, chain-of-command observing mood. Anyway, Grunt doesn't want it.
Garrus: Krogan men find scars just as attractive as the females.
Shepard: Samara.
Garrus: Just because her Code doesn't let her have relations, doesn't mean she doesn't want 'em. And Asari in general love Turians.
Shepard: Zaeed.
Garrus: Would **** anything moving that moves.
Shepard: Jack.
Garrus: Basically attempted to rape me after the last mission.
Shepard: I'll try to explain subtlety to her sometime. Miranda?
Garrus: Just hides it beneath her Cerberus Ice Queen thing. Probably hates herself for it, too. Feels like she's personally betraying humanity. Poor woman.
Shepard: Tali.
Garrus: Nearly orgasmed when I explained the firing algorithms I'm working on to her.
Shepard: Joker.
Garrus: Talks about my ass way more than is normal. Leads me to think it's frequently on his mind.
Shepard: Jacob.
Garrus: Has asked me to go drinking with him.
Shepard: He asked me that, too!
Garrus: . . . That's my point.
Shepard: . . . Oh, I didn't catch that . . . Thane?
Garrus: Wears tight leather with a low V on his chest. He's pretty aloof, but if he goes for anyone on the ship, it'll totally be me.
Shepard: He's been married. To a woman.
Garrus: Yet he always seems to walk behind me on missions.
Shepard: I did notice that.
Garrus: Everyone knows Kelly would bang anyone on the squad, and Mordin doesn't count because he's a Salarian. So I believe that's a yes, everyone does want my dick.
Shepard: Me?
Garrus: Shepard, don't be ridiculous. You came in here and started a conversation with me about my dick. Of course you want it.
Shepard: Well, I, umm . . . Would you believe I actually came in here intending to talk about Dr. Michele?
Garrus: Yeah, but she can't compete with my dick.
Shepard: Apparantly nothing can compete with you dick.
Garrus: Wanna find out?



So, I have no idea why I just wrote that.

Tali's leadership? You mean the woman whose's gotten both squads you see her leading almost entirely wiped out, right? And the man who led an elite team of superheroes vigilantes in the nastiest place in the galaxy for over a year was sent to do a hacking job?

Well. He was constantly calibrating...

[LOLandStuff]

In my first playthrough I just took my time exploring each system and planet, even probing Uranus XD. I had all the upgrades and loyalty quests done, assigned those fit for the suicide mission and no one died.

Second play Miranda, Jacob and Mordin died when holding the line. I wanted to check if ppl can die...those three were so squishy.
