Ow, I played ME1 on the Xbox without an internet connection, so I didn't know that. Did it ask in ME2 too? Can't remember that part.

Aha! Found it. There's an upload gameplay feedback option. At least for PC. So everyone make sure you have it marked as YES so Garrus will come back to calibrate our hearts once again!

Wow - fall off the internet for 24 hours, and this thread explodes again! I'm gonna have to catch up.

Datamining crew mate accompanyment? (that spelling is hard!) What would they use that for? Is it to work out popularity of the character so they know who to bring back (is that how they decided to settle on Tali and Garrus in ME2?)

Yeah... big question. lol. Probably a silly one to ask. See - this is what internet withdrawal does to my head.

Also, rita25: let's all go for the vigilante super duper batman sexy GARRUS!!!! Good call.

So my garrus theme is rediculously popular compared to my other ones.

You...you have now become a man.

I don't get all the 'Garrus betrayal' theories floating around. The only person less likely to betray Shepard is Tali.

And I don't know why people think Garrus might get his own squad, like he did on Omega. Now that you've got a united Reaper-fightin' force, there's no reason to split the team and resources. He's good, but he's not Shepard-level good.

He cut me off ("for my own good", psh) when he found me pressing F10 with zombie eyes in front of the computer at 5:00 in the morning.  

Him: OH MY GOD you have a serious problem.  I had no idea it was this bad.
Me:  Yeah well, if you'd give me more time with it I wouldn't have to do this!
Him:  I'm cutting you off. Go to bed.
Me: NOOOOO Garrus's loyalty mission just opened up! The romance starts after that! You can't do this to me.
Him:  I left you here twelve hours ago! YOU'RE STILL HERE. When was the last time you ate?! Are you ****ing Gollum now or something?
Me:  ....eating is for chumps.
Him:  *exits ME2*
Me: NOOOOO hiss wail, etc.

It was very not pretty.

Sounds familiar. Except the part where he exits ME2. Everybody knows it's bad for their health when they disturb me while I'm gaming. "They have a way of dying." <--- look, totally on-topic!

XD Good to know we have something else in common. DH refers to it as my "fix" and when he wants to be really nice he takes the kids to play outside while I get my ME2 on. But he's not afraid to tell me when I need to step away from the console. Though he is especially kind and enabling about my Garrus 'appreciation', even proofreading my fics when I ask. ==
*Waves 'bye' to Flammie again* You'll just get in trouble if you keep trying to escape. Remind yourself "it's only 15 years, it's only 15 years, then I can get away and execute my long-plotted revenge"

He can get away and shoot mercs on Omega.

That's sweet. I always play with my earplugs in and I get incredibly annoyed when boyfriend asks or tells me something. At first I don't even hear him, then I take out one earplug, listen, respond, put earplug back in, then he starts talking again... AAARGH.

When he saw my Garrus mug, he was kind of jealous at first. Then he said, "Oh well, at least it's a cool pic, it doesn't have hearts in it." And I said: "DUH, I'm not that crazy."

lol. Bioware don't need our help for ideas like those. I think people like to specualte because the do love them some betrayal at Bioware.

I think Garrus as betrayer would have the most emotional impact for a lot of gamers. Not that that would make it a good thing - I'd be very upset if I went through 2 games of Garras love and it was built on a lie! I dunno... betrayal without intent or betrayal with good intentions from which there was some redemption I could forgive, but still...

I still think Garrus' unaccounted time between leaving the Normandy and showing up on Omega is a bit suss. Not that I think he was 'betraying Shepard' or anything, but I think there is some other part to his backstory we have yet to see, and I'm really hoping for some exploration of that in ME3. I was giving this some thought, and despite probably being one of Shep's closets compadres, Garrus is one of the squadmates we know the least about in terms of personal history. Sure, we know the C-Sec, Turien Military, Dad was a bit absent/strict stuff, but it's all only loosley touched upon. His recruitment and loyalty missions in both games are more... career driven, shall we say. Even Sidonuswas only personal in his capacity as squad leader. Other characters seem more willing to involve shep in family and personal history issues than Gar. He's not much one for 'talking'. Bless. (Shepard and him between them are going to have a lot of silences in a relationship to contend with. lol)

As to the 'Garrus supports Shepard by leading his own squad' theorey that seems to have become popular recently, I agree that this does not seem likly. Aprat from the not wanting to break up the badas team Shep's assembled, I don't think Garrus would dive right back into that role. He's clearly still got major guilt issues over the loss of his own squad (even though it really wasn't his fault), and I think he sees Shep as a bit of a safe haven - a known entity if you will - that he can stick with until he gets his confidence back/deals with his guilt/ kicks some Reaper ass all the way back to darkspace! I think him running a team again would feel quite forced. I get the impression at this point that Garrus is with Shepard until the end, no matter what the outcome.

But, you know, Bioware do love them some betrayal.

THIS. I agree with everyone who said that a betrayal by Garrus would feel cheap. It'd feel like something BioWare only put in because they needed some drama and couldn't think of anything original, so they decided to sacrifice character integrity by going with the "betrayal!" route. Do. Not. Want. That would be like if Sam betrayed Frodo at the end of the LOTR trilogy. It wouldn't be emotional, it would feel forced. There's just no way they could give him enough character development over the course of one game to get him to a point where he would even consider going against Shepard. Remember that most character development in ME games consists of a few Normandy conversations and one side quest. Considering that Garrus can die in ME2, if he's a squadmate in the third game you can pretty much guarantee that a few Normandy conversations and a sidequest are all he's going to get. ME3 is the last game and our last chance to really get to know more about Garrus. It would really suck if we spent all of those conversations fighting with our best friend and possible love interest.

It'd also be a big slap in the face to the players and fans. "Oh, you guys actually thought you had a team member that you could trust and depend on no matter what? LOLNO. Sorry, Shepard can't really depend on anyone, even his/her closest friend and possible love interest."

The ONLY way I could see it working would be if Garrus "unknowningly" betrayed Shepard. But that'd be hard to pull off.

I've said it before: Yeah, bioware does love betrayal, but Garrus would make absolutely no sense based on what we've seen of him so far.  Say what you want, but I find it fairly unlikely.


Besides, from what I've seen they enjoy mentor/parent figure betrayal the most.
Which puts Captain Anderson at the top of the Betrayal!List for me.

(But 

DEAR

LORD

NO

PLEASE.)

lol. That would probably be enough to break the internet.

Maybe Spacer Shepard's mother is actually a Reaper sleeper agent. Which would make Shepard part Reaper. The plot thickens.

Thank you Garrus, for forever ruining the words "Calibrations" and "research" for me. FOREVER.

Nah, that word still belongs to Darth Vader.  Calibrations, however, is totally owned by Garrus.

My Vader word is "Desssstiny."  All others are inferior.

...Damn, I've been inflicted with the calibration bug, too. Research, not so much. I haven't actually played Garrus's romance, yet, so maybe that's why.

I did face the Armature and Collossus on Normal Difficulty, though. Garrus always dies first, then Wrex. I actually know how to sidestep. It's kinda weird, actually. I sidestep a rocket and sometimes it hits Garrus instead. I think once Garrus actually walked in front of me and took a rocket.

Absolutely nobody knows about my obsession with Garrus. Except for you guys. I guess I'm lucky in some ways. They don't even know my Mass Effect obsession. Closest one actually knows is that I loved ME2 and have got ME1.



Escape space military boot camp and hide out in a planet with no laws, assembling my own team and ruining three merc groups, until they get one of my team to betray me and distract me whilst they kill everybody else in the squad, and then cornering me and forcing me to hold the line until three people come and try to rescue me, but ends up in me taking gunship fire and a missile to the face before having to go into surgery with a graft and loads of cybernetics, before finding out where the person who betrayed me is, get really angry and make two help me kill him Eye for an Eye, before somehow being convinced not to right at the end when I found out how much remorse he feels? I'd say that beats C-Sec.

...I'd love to be a turian. I'd stare at myself in the mirror.

NO I WILL NOT GO BACK IN THAT HELL HOLE!

*gets dragged by the legs, kicking and screaming and clawing at the ground*

Got it. I love this.

siltsonata: your Urz banner is neat as Urz is one of my favourites in ME2; for awhile, had a desktop pic of Garrus, Shep and Urz. Reminds me of that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song, except instead of "two cats in the yard", "two varrens in the yard".

'Our house is a very, very fine house

Hmm... it says turian soldiers train for a year before being assigned to a field unit, and officers train for longer, and most actually serve in battle until 30, when they go back to Reserves. Where did 15 years come from?



I've got the firefox persona a while ago. I've had to disable it because my sister wanted to use the computer, and it feels so bleak without it... *sigh* I guess I really did like it.



You could get Urz to follow you? I've got to do that when I get around to ME2. And I want to look that song up, too.



...Yeah, I have a feeling when a 15 year old male expresses his crazy obsessions with a fictional alien person, he's not going to be very well accepted. Especially where I am.





...I'd rather do calibrations than boot-camp. This sucks. Better get back before they realise I've gone again.

I looked up the lyrics to refresh my memory and now it has been added to my Garrus Love and Adoration CD songlist. Work in progress.

Another piece of the lyrics that sealed the deal for songlist inclusion:

'Come to me now

And rest your head for just five minutes'

I just joined facebook and when I get back to work after spring break, my added coworkers might wonder why I have Turian stuff everywhere....
