I honestly think a turian/human hybrid would look like a quarian.

I'd like to see Garrus and Shepard's reaction to that. xD

Shepard: We found the evolutionary link between humans and turians - quarians!
Garrus: So that's what they look like under the masks...

@Cerrydd: If Wrex is a romance option in ME3, I've got a separate Shepard just for him!

Yeah, I still have to do a single Shep ME1 playthrough, to keep myself available to Garrus only. Might as well keep her single 1 ME2 playthrough in case Wrex brings me a serenade in ME3 .

Another reason I love Garrus that I forgot to mention: his voice! I swear, if we're having dinner and he would asking me to pass the salt, I'd climax immediately.

[Kim Shepard]

When I read on the forums that Garrus was going to be a romance option, I rushed to finish my playthrough with a female Shepard. xD She didn't like any of the ME1 choices anyway!

I still have to play New Game + for my poor "experiment" Shepard, whose choices didn't really stay true to his character because he was my first playthrough and I just wanted to see what happened. And I always thought Tali's personality worked best with his - what luck for him in ME2!

[Nissun]

Haha, I feel bad for having romanced the ME1 romances. I did it only because I was curious, not because I particularly liked any of them. Specially in the case of Liara, I romanced her with my jerkass Shepard (you know, in that playthrough where you do everything you don't normally do). It was hilarious, considering how incredibly stupid that Shepard was. I just can't take Liara seriously, she's a big joke for me.



I actually played Kaidan's romance twice. First one, with the first Shepard, out of curiosity. The second one, a couple of weeks ago. I was preparing a playthrough for Thane, and I decided to throw in Kaidan's romance to see what would happen in ME3 (if not, I choose to ignore it with this Shepard). I will romance Ashley and stay loyal to her with the Soldier Shepard. Ashley has many flaws, but for some reason I can't help but like her. Not in a romantic way, though.



Garrus is the only romance I will ever play with my heart, because I truly see Shepard with him and not for curiosity reasons. To put it this way: In the "subjective canons" created by personal ME experiences, Garrus is *my* canon romance... for both Shepards.

I don't believe a biological child is even possible for Garrus and Shep, considering their base DNA is incompatible.



I do think it is logical for them to adopt one, particularly if you have the Earthborn Shepard background who knows how it feels to be an orphan.



But I also think it is perfectly logical for them not to adopt any. People who spend most of their time at work, sometimes don't have kids, because their "children"--their responsibilities and their focus--are the larger community. And I think that works for Garrus and Shep who seem to have made careers out of saving the galaxy.

So since we'd all like to marry Garrus... how would you like to get kids with him?

Uhh... I already have a baby and his name is Grunt. Raising a krogan is hard enough. Don't know how he will react to Garrus being his 'father' though...

So, I'm not the only who felt like she'd adopted a teenaged krogan along the way?  Good.  

[Kim Shepard]

My experiment Shepard started the romance with Liara just because I wanted to see how one of the romances would play out (and I didn't like Ashley, so Liara was the only option), even though their personalities are not suited for each other at all. I didn't make him go through with it in the end because it was just too out of character for him. Liara came into his room and he basically said "I'm trying to concentrate on the upcoming battle! I don't have time for this." He'll go for it with Tali though... because he actually likes her.

Well, the human/turian hybrid child that I imagine for my Shepard could probably be considered a biotic god. xD He has way too much fun throwing his enemies around with the awesome power. (He'll also hook up with the asari child of another Shepard and Aria, which proves that the hybrid can naturally reproduce because asari just use their own genes anyway. In an alternate universe where hybrid children are possible, so is the Aria romance!)

Hi Garrus fans. Is this a place where we can show our love and appreciation for Garrus... even though we're not really into his romance subplot? If so: Go Garrus!



Romance subplots tend to make people defensive about their beloved LIs for whatever reason, and some start to bash other romance options. There's not such requirement about disliking others to romance one character, is there? That's the downside of romances for me.



Me? I just hate all the (female) romance subplots ^^ but not the characters. I like Garrus, Thane, Jacob, vorcha, hanar... I really like Vorcha.



Anyway, Garrus deserves the love he gets. No matter how many times I play the game, it's always that same familiar cozy feeling when it comes to recruit him. And that desperation to save him. Bioware did a great job with the character. Kudos to them and all the more power to him!

[silentstephi]

Hrm... in this playthrough of ME1, I'm bothered by the fact that almost every Turian in the Prisidium has like... a two toned face. No markings... just... kinda barefaced?! Crap, here comes another quantified. /flail



As for Garrus/Shepard adopting kids in the future? That'd be cute. I could see that. But... I guess it all depends on what happens in ME3.

Even if you never romance Garrus, yea, I can see him and Shep as BFFs. XD

[ELE08]

On what attracted me to the Garrus romance?  Can I just say ditto.  I agree with just about everything that has been already said.  They really are kindred spirits and Garrus is the first companion that really stands out to me as Shepard's equal which I think is important.

On the issue of children - I think my Shepard might take into consideration what kind of life a child (of any species) would have being raised by a mixed turian/human couple.  Is it common for turians and humans to form relationships?  Would they face any real discrimination?  I dunno.

There really isn't any indication from the game how the Shepard/Garrus coupling would be received by the crew/the public.  I think it would be interesting if that was addressed in the third game.

The Garrus friendship is quite all right.  I have at least one Shepard that will only be friends with him, after all.

I can't see either of them caring too terribly much about societal constraints.  Crew distruption, however, would be paramount.

As far as children, the one who fell for Garrus is Earthborn.  While I can't see her having a child, rescuing one from the slums would be more her speed.  I'm not sure the species would matter.

[Kim Shepard]

I just pictured a cute little turian child tugging on Shepard's arm saying "Mommy, I want a donut too!" while everyone stares in disbelief and that one donut-eating turian recognizes Shepard. xD



It's nice that Garrus actually trusts Shepard's judgement, even when he/she was working with Cerberus. Shepard really has to work for everyone else's loyalty (although Tali is a close second), but with Garrus that trust is just there. For some of my Shepards, he's the only squad member they trust.

Poor Shepard #13 has trust issues, I think. xD She trusted Wrex until their stand-off on Virmire, and even though they're still friends, that trust just isn't there anymore. The same happened for her with Tali when she objected to working with Cerberus (because this Shepard is completely loyal to the Illusive Man). Then there's Garrus, who joined her and defended her choice on Horizon. So there's probably only three people she really trusts now... TIM, Garrus, and Anderson.

True, my Shepard probably wouldn't give a Vorcha's ass what anyone thought of their relationship, after all it's not really anyone's business.  Bringing a kid into the mix though might change things because then it's not just between Shep and Garrus.

I vote for ambiguous riding off into the sunset ending as an option.

I can make up some suggestions, i'm pretty good at that. 
I see Thane's attraction to Shepard as being based on a memory, either someone he loved a long time ago, or someone he wishes that he had.  Probably more the latter.  He seems like a guy who would want to revist the one he let get away.
He also (and I apologize in advance to the Thane fangirls) does not seem like someone who was faithful to his mate.  He mentions that he's never been attracted to someone of another species before.  He does not say that he's never slept with one.  He knows he's sexy.  He's a professional, and a very good assassin.  Does he really seem like someone who wouldn't use all his skills to get the job done?

I'd do some shameless self-promotion of my fanfics but the post on page one says something about M ratings and whatnot.

I don't see Shepard and Garrus having hybrid kids. I don't think it'd be possible. Well, all the better for creative testing ot reach and flexibility. Just as long as they don't ingest. It might be nice to have them adopt a kid or two, but I'm not sure, it's a big decision, and they've got quite large responsibilities already.

I don't think I could do a playthrough with Garrus and Shepard as just friends, I'd always like Garrus to be Shepard's guy everytime. I'd love to see how it'd develop in ME3, just as long as we don't get something corny or over the top soppingly romantic. And more touching to really bring out the fangirl in us.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know what happens, or if there's a scene if Garrus's vital signs drop to 0 whilst recruiting him. I'm curious, but I'd rather not inflict that on him.

Look at me, talking about him like he's real... *sigh*

Hmm, is everyone here female, or are there a few males?

There might be a male or two. You never know.

[Kim Shepard]

I don't know what happens if his vital signs drop to zero. D: I rushed through that mission so fast, he barely had a dent in his lifebar. The strategy guide does say something about things getting worse for Garrus if you take too long, but it doesn't say exactly, and I don't think I would ever try it out on purpose.

Critical mission failure.  Shepard cannot live without the awesome that is Garrus
