My husband went for Miranda too. I guess with the spray-on suit he was helpless.

Miranda is overrated, Kasumi is much hotter.

I have to admit. Kasumi competes with my third favorite character with thane. God i wish she wasn't a dlc character.

Talithread is really not that bad. I was afraid at first of what to find there, but when I checked it out it wasn't that bad. We can get creepy as hell too . It just depends on what you're into.

QFT, on both accounts.  I go to the Tali thread on a regular basis.  My take on it is, sure, the thread goes into the gutter sometimes (as does ours, although this may be happening less since Clan V. has the NSFW thread), but my impression overall is a bunch of guys who love Tali and actually the vibe is mostly protective and rather romantic, believe it or not.

My ME2 Collectors' edition art book says "After a painful introduction
to Shepard, Garrus' appearance for the remainder of the story would bear
the scars and bandages of a near-fatal injury." Do you think this means
for the rest of the Shepard trilogy, or just for ME2?

I think he will definitely be scarred for the rest of the trilogy, but I wouldn't mind seeing them get rid of the "and bandages" part for ME3.  That just made me wonder something...If you destroy the Collector base at the end of ME2, I'm thinking that's the end of the Cerberus money gravy train.  However, if you keep the base for TIM, would you have a better chance of getting money out of him for things like fixing Garrus's face?
(And for the record, I SO do not want his scars fixed!!)

I don't think garrus would agree with the "my body and spirit are seperate, so I'm not responsible for my actions" part of Thane's beliefs, even if he approves of him doing things like taking down those slavers. I doubt its the kind of thing that they'd mention to each other though.

*Tali sits at the mess with Garrus. Shepard suddenly swoops in from behind Tali and hugs her.*

Shepard: Hey, beautiful.

Tali: There you are... Still eager after... umm... checking the suspension?

Garrus: I'm eating right here![/quote]

Shepard: Tali, what would you say about checking the cannon on that thing?

Tali: Oh, yes...it could definitely use some calibrations.

Garrus: That's it. I'll go do some more calibrat--damnit

something funny from the Tali thread. to fully understand the situation, you have to read [url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5997069/1/bNoveria_b_bHeat_b]Noveria Heat[url] Warning some sexytime at the end. not too explisit but might not be to everyone's taste. In summery for those not wanting to read it.

Shep Tali wrex get the Mako damaged and are stuck Wrex able to suvive the outside weather is sent out for help. Shep and Tali left alone, starts to get very cold, they end up sharing body heat under thermal blankets and one thing leads to another. You get it.

I got a brohug from the Tali thread. Them boys is okay with me.

[kglaser]

Yeah, that thread gets kinda a bad rap to some extent...although, I confess I can't keep up with it usually!

[ciaweth]

It's more like a chat room than a forum thread!

eta:  You'll never guess what they are discussing now..."Does Tali purr or not?"  Hah, how many Garrus fanfics have him doing *that*?

I think I would like to hang out more on the Tali thread more but it's kind of hard to keep up with those Tali fans. This thread moves more at a speed more comfortable for me.

I think Garrus is more of the growling kind. Tali seems like the hissing type to me.

@ Collider: Septimus actually means "seventh" in Latin, so it's not just Latin-sounding.

Also, turian honour suicide? Like hara-kiri? Was that mentioned in a Cerberus newsflash?

Yep. In one of the Cerberus News updates, there was some mention of honor suicide within the Turians. Here's the entry:

06/18/2185
June 17th, 2010

A new development in the death of
human journalist Grant Keyes has exemplified the differences between
turian and human cultures. Sergeant Sanus Iheras — the commander of the
four soldiers who pulled the journalist and his camerawoman over and
was allegedly responsible for their deaths — has apparently committed
suicide. He was found this morning with a fatal gunshot wound to the
head, presumed to be self-inflicted. Such suicides are common in turian
cultures after great transgressions and are seen to expiate family or
unit of shame and failure. The act also frequently closes any judicial
matter or investigation into the deceased and their actions. Asked if
this brought closure to the case, Keyes’ widow Lara said, “Not at all.
I never wanted anyone else to get hurt over this. It’s senseless.”

-
So I think it may or may not be equivalent to hara-kiri. Seems to be, but I don't know much about hara-kiri other than it being some (samurai?) ritual of suicide when one thinks they have been dishonorable or something.

Origin of the Tali purr

[Collider]

Speaking of religion where do you think Garrus stands in that department? Does he believe in that standard turian thing about "spirits" or something else. Personally, I think he either doesn't think much about it one way or the other or I make him for a Rorshach style atheist minus a lot of the crazy. Someone who says we make our own morality so he strives to enforce one that is pretty moral absolutist. Not because some god says that's how it should be, but because he thinks that's how it should be. Those guys fascinate me. Conservative atheists types. They are rare but do exist and they are fun to dissect.

I think Garrus being similar to this seems likely. For one thing, the galaxy as a whole seems to be a lot less religious than in human culture - so far as monotheism goes anyway. Turians believe in an impersonal spirits, so I imagine that there isn't much religious fervor among them anyway. The only other thing we know about Turian spirituality is that some of them have taken up Buddhism and Confucianism (which itself is more of a philosophy), both of which don't really spawn much zealotry.

I think the whole Seppuku thing involves more rituality than just committing suicide. As far as I know, it might involve having spectators and in the case it's not you who's ripping your intestines off, having to choose who is going to chop your head. I wouldn't say what that Turian did looks like the same except for the concept of being so ashamed of the morality of his acts that he felt he had to kill himself to clean his name.



I don't know, maybe Garrus' actions as Archangel when you go find him are something in this path, but do you think he'd be the kind of Turian that would kill himself?

Really like your turian picture... really nice 'woodcut' effect. Great work

I think Garrus would have a deep, throaty growl - which may be called a 'purr' or rumble but I didn't think kitty purrrrrr But I pick raptor/dragon analogy over feline...so that is probably why.

On the Thane topic. I think Garrus would have a healthy respect for Thane. His prowess in battle, his self control and especially his determination to redeem himself for past actions. All traits Garrus could personally relate to.

As for Garrus being spiritual - not sure. He doesn't seem to use spiritual language. Unless spirituality is just a way of life for Turians and we are actually seeing it in his honour and fighting ethics (thinking samurai here).

And I love Kasumi as a character. I so wish she wasn't DLC and hope she has a bigger role in ME3 (grey box drama!).

I can't really remember. I've been keeping up with the CDN boards more then here unfortunately. I think someone might of created banners about what kasumi said about garrus.

*dies* That description is so perfect! Ultimately, my man cheated on Ashley (he's not a fan of Liara) with Tali. He had wanted Tali in the first place in ME1.

Definately more ritualized, as everything is with samurai (I've done Kendo for a while and everything is precise, from how you move to how you tie your Hamaka, etc.) so no quick bullet to the head as we saw in the recent CNN feed. Turians (from the little we can glean) seem to just do it without any honour or ritual being attached. I prefer the seppuku idea but I think they just 'push delete' and problem is solved. Not nice.

Thank the spirits that Garrus isn't a 'very good Turian' and decided 'death by Merc' was a better way to go. Although it also allows us to see just how conflicted he must have been on Omega. And how his failure would have weighed him down further than previously thought. Still glad I didn't let him kill Sidonis though

I might have to download her right nao!

If you're locked in on the Garrus romance, Kasumi will say those things to you, plus one more thing after the SM. If you broke up with him, she'll comment on that, too.

It happens if you talk to her on the ship while romancing Garrus. After the romance, she says this:

"Someone saw Garrus heading to your quarters with a bottle of champagne.  I'm happy for you two.  It's not often you find something good in a galaxy like this."

Break up with him before the romance scene, and she says this:

"I'm sorry to hear about you and Garrus.  At least things ended well.  He seems like a good guy under all that armor and bitterness."

Reject him in the final romance scene, and she says this:

"I'm sorry to hear about you and Garrus.  Sorry it ended badly.  You both deserve to be happy."
