OK, I can imagine those 3 fingers getting put to *much* better use than playing a guitar

...but seriously.
I have to be at work in like 6 hours but my depraved mind is preventing me from being in bed.

Nonsense, having a turian playing guitar would either look super awkward or super epic. I am pretty sure someone has thought of the idea and drew a picture somewhere....

I was always under the impression that he was never very good at making friends (or at least not good at keeping lasting friendships) or being sociable in general. Which is why I'm always puzzled when fanfiction writers portray him as a ladies man.

To be fair, Garrus did have that casual encounter with the female turian and Garrus did say he gets hit on all the time (if you're male and choose the paragon option when Garrus asks how he looks with his scars, Shepard says "Don't worry, you were always ugly Garrus, and then Garrus says that at least now Shepard has a chance getting women). Not saying whether he's a ladies man or not, but those are just some things I remember. I don't see him as a social butterfly either.

I always got the impression that quote was supposed to be kind of sarcastic, my friends and I are like that all the time. "You're eating yogurt?" "Yeah, I'm watching my girlish figure." Bros bull****ting each other, that sort of thing.

I figure he'd be not particularly social, but not a recluse either, like other people are saying. Maybe more friendly in the second game? Joker's getting the stick out comment...But then again, how much was he interacting with people outside of his squad? Probably on the Normandy, he loosened up, but nobody in Omega's undoubtedly robust information network knew who Archangel was, he can't have been showing his face to people.

Three
finger turians. Imagine them trying to play a guitar xD.

/facepalm

Damn
it, now I'm wondering what kind of instruments/music turians would
create/play.  Would they sing?  They probably dance...

... GAH.

I still insist that turian voice flanges would be perfect
for the blues. That nice rumbly voice quality that you usually
need forty years of emphysema to achieve. Quarians have opera, why not
turian blues?

Yea I figured that as well, but I was noting it as female shepards don't seem to get that dialogue.

I agree. I like how another put it - Garrus is more concerned about results than aimless friend making. He was genuinely distraught and angry over his squad being betrayed, but he didn't make the squad just for conversation, he did it to help cleanse Omega.

They do get a roughly equivalent one, though. "Some women find men with scars attractive...mind you , most of those women are krogan." Still making a 'Garrus gets all the ladies' joke, it just has flirtier implications for a female Shepard.

[Collider]

Seems like one of the few gender specific dialogues outside of romance.

All this talk about his squad just reminded me.

He was obviously distraught over the death of his squad so I doubt they were nothing more than allies to him. He must have cared about them and considered them friends, or almost. He even knew a bit about their personal lives, if the e-mail from his team member's wife is any indication. But one of the mercs (I think) said that even Garrus' team didn't know who he was. Which is weird because you would think that, being someone who helped take down Saren, Garrus would have acquired a little bit of fame even reaching to the Terminus Systems. He, Shepard, and the rest of the ME1 squad must have appeared on several news vids. Even if he didn't, people would know his name. So wouldn't his team know him almost right away once he introduced himself? Or did he use a fake name? Or was that merc just wrong?

Even assuming that he used a fake name, or that his team on Omega really didn't know about his involvement with the Saren incident, wouldn't they be a little weirded out that he knew a decent amount about their personal lives but they knew nothing about his? Maybe they just didn't care because he was such a good leader. Or maybe BioWare just didn't really think about this.

I don't think they literally meant that they hadn't heard of Garrus before (I'd imagine that they actually hadn't, but that's besides the point) Rather, they were not acquainted with Garrus more than him being the squad leader - Garrus was not very open with them I would imagine. There's knowing someone's name and then there's knowing them.

I have to admit, that picture scares me. Look like a turian rapeface.

[Hulluliini]

What's a rapeface`?

The face you make. You know, when you're about to rape someone.

That picture's actually a reference to this comic, which I don't think has its own name (though it's often conflated with 'son, i am disappoint' and 'fatlus' comics). /knowyourmeme

I ought to put together a Mass Effect variation. "You breaking the laws again?" "It's called being a SPECTRE, dad. They're not illegal. They're some of the greatest, most justice-oriented people in the galaxy, upholding peace and making the hard decisions so you can sleep in your bed at night. Short-sighted old people like you wouldn't understand." *dancing Shepard*

GENIUS

[RiouHotaru]

Umanix has pretty much spelled out WHY I love the Garrus romance so much. Not that the other romances are bad, but there's quite a bit of difference between them.



Jacob's is about getting a uptight soldier to relax (and turn into a horrible b-movie porn star as well, apparently)



Thane's is about fixing a broken person coping with family issues (Carth Syndrome ahoooooy!)



Garrus is about trust, friendship, and loyalty between old comrades who've found something in each other that they didn't see before (besides huge fanfic/fanart potential and a 'YESSSSSSSSS' that's going to be heard for the next year or so beofre ME3)

[adriano_c]

Picked up the appearance pack, in spite of my better judgement...

[Loerwyn]

It's worth it just for Garrus

[enormousmoonboots]

I actually still prefer the look of the loyalty armor; that dash of red in the collar is just so classy--and distinctive, as Silt showed us.



Still looks nice, at any rate. I wish you could have a conversation with him in it actually outside of the battery, though. The red light in there makes it look kind of obnoxious.



But hey, two bucks. I'll skip lunch tomorrow.

I agree. I always think Garrus with his Omega team is very similar to Shepard and both of her (his) teams: as their leader she cares deeply about them all, and is very interested in their lives/hopes/fears/etc because they have to follow her into hell and she needs to know they trust her, yet she is seldom open with any of them about her own issues.

Shep lives for the mission, and her own life takes a back seat. The mission is her life. I imagine for Garrus and his team it was the same. I mean, at least one of them had a wife and a life outside mercing, but Garrus seems like he lived for the fight and little else.

I'd love (if they continued the romance plots in any way) for Garrus to call Shep on this, actually. Having been through it himself, he must know how isolated Shep is (even though she puts on the fearless leader face at all times). I'd love a 'Shepard has to deal with past issues in more of a casual way' missions! Let's face it, the missions in ME1 that were grounded in her background didn't really seem to phase Shepard much, not when you compare it to the personal ones her team go on....


Also, as to the 'Garrus' fame' verses 'Archangel'  name thing, is it possible that his team knew who he was, but it wasn't widly known outside of there. I mean, since he was 'off the radar', he can't have been out and open about who he was generally. Maybe he let his team call him Garrus, and they did/didnot make the coonection individualy. I'm guessing Garrus isn't a unique Turien name, and they'd probably be a bit like 'why is he on Omega, when he could be a Spectre or C-Sec'....And if he is not being open about his past (and I'm guessing he wasn't) then how is anyone to know.  I imagine a lot of the glory after Saren went to Shepard anyway, and if the council was dead, would people be so comfortable about being known for their part in their death?

I'm going to wait until the Kasumi DLC comes out. I don't have a credit card, but my boyfriend has one ("I'm going to support your Garruslove with my credit card?"), so I'll combine the new outfit with Kasumi. Might as well buy the pink N7 shirt, to change my appearance.

[enormousmoonboots]

You know, thinking about Garrus's fame...anyone else see that movie ad on the Citadel (extra comedy: the turian who plays Saren is the same one who invites you to the Dark Star for 'companionship')? I bet there's a Normandy movie night where everyone watches it and sasses the ME1 veterans about it. "He doesn't even look like me!"

Movie ad? Did I miss something? Where?
