WAT? Really? The first time I saw it (years ago) I had to laugh, but that kiss is so nasty. I'm happy Garrus can't kiss like that .

There's more Garrus music than just the original theme

Hehehehehe.  Well, he WAS disappointed in her flexibility....

[onibontan]

The only flexibility he should be testing is Shepard's >=C Or there will be rockets. To the face.

And this time we won't even give him a chance to hide behind a crate.

You're not hundred six on let's find work!! Man, the fun that can be had with the subtitles on youtube ...

[Cerrydd]

I hope they'll never fix it. This is too much fun.

I love Garrus's theme. I'd probably get it as a phone tone. I like Samara's theme, too. I'd probably like all the themes, if I got the chance to hear them all.

I haven't even heard it before.


...Okay, I have. Though I haven't seen that video, either. So lucky femShep and Garrus don't go in THAT direction. Though Garrus may be getting a few tips, what with the luminescent lights on his new armour and all...


Kelly probably initiated it. She probably makes love to her table when she can't find anybody. When you invite her to your room she's more interested in your wall, rubbing up against it and bumping it. When she's sitting on your lap she's staring at the wall behind you. When she's snuggling with you in bed she's looking up the ceiling. That girl's got problems. If she comes onto you, it probably means nothing. If she doesn't come onto you, then something is seriously, seriously wrong with you. I wonder what she was doing in the elevator...


Yeah, youtube's captioning system fails hard. It'd probably be difficult and unlikely for them to get a recall, but seriously, it's terrible and funny.


Did we ever have a conversation about if turian males are just as sensitive as human males in their "zone"? I'm lucky enough that I've never suffered a strike to it (except a few accidental smacks in anger on the leg aiming wrong).

Walking past the Ad Kiosk on Level 28 of Citadel during 1st visit there on this P.T. Activated it a couple times and on the second or third time, an asari is touting Biotic beauty benefits, and then says, "The next time you are out on the town with Officer Vakarian..."

Garrus was with me, pre-romance.

I like this little acknowledgement. More, please, BioWare.

[Flammie]

Yeah, apparently the advert changes its name if you have somebody with you that you can romance. Lemme try and find the names...

Mr. Taylor, Officer Vakarian, Sere Krios, Miss Lawson, Miss Zorah, and "Citizen ID file not found" (That last one's Jack, heh)

I guess they scan you or something when you switch the advert on and anybody compatible with you. Apparently Samara's acknowledged as well, and if you have Morinth, she's considered as Samara, too.

I want more too. The media should get involved in that too. Humans and Turians should also give their opinions on that relationship.

That advertisment makes me squee everytime I hear it Ohhh Officer Vakarian~

You gotta love it when conversation reminds you of pictures.

[janeym27]

Yes. I, for one, would like to know what galatic opinion of Human/Turien relations is. We only ever really see Asari/other species relationships (quarien and turien in the firendzone, aside).



Is interspeices awkwardness common in the ME galaxy, or are Shep and Mr Vakarian blazing a trail!?

[silentstephi]

It's probably there; I mean, both species are pretty emotional, even though turians can come across a bit more structured. Considering the numbers out there, it'd be silly to think it wasn't happening.



But Shep and Garrus would probably be the most predominant ones out there. If they get out'd.

... I cannot wait for ME3. Graaaaaaah... -.-

[Twilight_Princess]

It’s a given that everyone's "canon" romance here is with Garrus so did you paragon him or renegade him? Or did you do a bit of both? It would be cool to share your reasonings too.
 
My canon Shep is a paragade and a colonist/war hero. Officers saved her on mindor even though she was just some colony kid they didn't know, her life mattered to those strangers even in the midst all of the chaos. They could have focused all their attention on the slavers but instead they still managed to rescue her and that's what inspired her to help others. She won't let the bad guy distract her from people who really need her help, for example she will take time to heal people instead of walking by them or tell Zaeed to STFU when people are caught in a fire. 

 
My canon shep didn't let Garrus shoot Dr Heart because she knew he was only really angry that he got away from him. The mission became a personal vendetta for Garrus because of his "failure" in capturing him. The fact he said "they should have gunned down the ship" showed he wanted to "win" no matter what the cost, even if such a reckless decision harmed bystanders and the hostages as well. Dr Heart was scum and I'm glad he got shot anyway but that focus stopped Garrus from thinking of others even though he insisted he was, in a conversation I think he said risking the lives of others was alright because he would be saving future victims or something like that. My Shep doesn't disagree with that because what he said was “wrong” but rather that he was too quick to dismiss the lives he claimed he was vehemently protecting, if innocents must be ignored for the greater good it must be a last resort after exploring various options, Garrus seemed too trigger happy when he came to that decision even if that wasn't his intention.



In ME2 Garrus had a correct personal vendetta this time around because he was personally betrayed.  For this one I could see the justification in both shooting sidonis and sparing him. You aren’t his mentor anymore and he is your equal now but for My Shep she needed to know WHY sidonis did it first just in case there was a good reason for it, she didn’t want Garrus to shoot him and then later realize it was a misunderstanding.  She lets him talk and then it’s confirmed his life was threatened and he jut spilled, she gets disappointed about his betrayal but presses him to see if there is ANY redemption at all.  There is, so killing him isn’t a punishment if he WANTS to die, that’s why if you pick “I can’t help you” at that point he just says thank you and just accepts what’s about to happen. Letting him live in my Shep’s view is FAR worse than a quick death, she can’t stand what he did to Garrus so his payment is living with this guilt knowing Garrus is alive and well and judging him for what he did to his squad. I’m hoping this will pay off in ME3 but even if it doesn’t, Garrus seemed grateful in his dialogue at the end of the mission plus the “trust your heart” option was touching.



As for shooting Harkins...I hate that guy, A LOT, but garrus roughed him up good and I can take the head butt over a gunshot. So for my canon romance I don’t let him do it. I wish there was an option for ME to kick him in the quad or at least help out a lil because I never forgot his sleazy come on from ME1 and was disappointed I couldn’t personally beat him up myself.


Didn’t expect to write an essay but ah well . I think it shows how awesome a character he is if I care THAT much about the path he chooses; I really hope there’s a conclusion to it for ME3.

It's probably not very common, especially thinking about the animosity between turians and humans, but it doesn't seem as if it's something to make an overly large deal of, what with the asari running around everywhere screwing our men and women. It'd probably be difficult to be annoyed by interspecial relationships. It all depends on what we know of their cultures, and how they clash. We don't know Shepard's background. With all the space conflicts going on, Reapers and all, I'd guess the two would get the most fire from the galactic equivalent of Heat magazine. I mean, they're both pretty well known.

I paragon'd Garrus. I hate renegading. I'd rather not go into details. Always feel like I missed something out. I believe Garrus actually gives Harkin a full on knee in his special area at the beginning of the interrogation.

I think it's unanimous that we all love Garrus. Not sure about his calibrations.

...~Oh, Officer Vakarian, calibrate this... I'm really easy to hack into... just push the code and insert your key...~

*cough* I should go. I've been coughing an awful lot. Maybe I should go see Mordin.

Me: Mordin, I have a cough.

Mordin: etc. etc. Chafing etc. etc.

Me: ...It was just a cough.

Mordin: etc. etc. diagrams etc. etc.

Me: ...I probably should have talked to Dr. Chakwas.

@Flammie



I can't remember how many time I've seen that. However I want pro human media to criticize you aggresively. Maybe there could be a third punch for that lousy reporter. I'd also like Turian or Asari reporters to start asking questions. I'd also like positive opinions about it, such as both species forgetting the differences between them by using as Shepard and Garrus as an example of how Turians and humans can get along. However that may be changing if you saved the council, Turians want better trade and military relations with humanity if that occurs. Human and Turian ships also start patrolling Citadel space together according to the news.

[Flammie]

Well obviously you'll get some of the people who criticise everything and anything, but I can't see Shepard and Garrus getting overloaded by moaning, nor actually caring much about it. Probably still going to showcase a lot of negative opinions in ME3, but yeah, I'd like to truly see the public reaction in it.



Turian and humans have put aside some differences and settled together on something, like the Normandy, so I guess there could be some turian-human relationships. And not all turians are like Saren, I guess.



Did somebody say reporter punch?

Note: added the bold type to points in your post that stood out with respect to my canon.

 *My take on the decision about Dr. Saleon is that Garrus' focus on saving future victims fits with his advice to my Shepard about keeping the Collector base, in order to make the sacrifices of those harvested worthwhile. [Despite getting Renegade points when I initially took his advice, I
felt Garrus had a good point although it took a back seat after
realizing the scary T.I.M. agenda when I pissed him off by destroying
it.] I talked him out of killing Dr. Saleon as it didn't make sense to have that killing on his conscience since he made it personal to the point of recklessness, although he died anyway, as you said. 

I see him as having shifted since the Saren mission from a "get it done regardless of cost" (much like Cerberus) to a more measured approach, as my Shepard encouraged in him before. However, this is challenged when confronting Sidonis. I chose to let Sidonis live for the reasons you described, as well as the fact that Garrus punishes himself for his perceived failures- I would not want killing Sidonis to add to this with time and reflection. In addition, Sidonis ultimately turns himself in, suggesting a possibility that Sidonis may help victims in the future. Both Sidonis and Garrus are suffering from their own demons and I wanted letting Sidonis live help Garrus to see that parallel and not continue to torment himself. I hope that is developed and explored further in the next/last chapter. In my interactions with him, the email from the wife of the dead team member, who wanted Shepard to help Garrus stop blaming himself  sums up my choices with Garrus in both chapters thus far. I want to help him take a different responsibility that doesn't  arise from guilt.

Oh they totally go that direction after the fade to black.  OM NOM NOM NOM NOM


And I'm imagining the relationship would be a little controversial, what with there still being many humans against aliens, and many aliens against humans.  And turian/human relations even moreso, considering the first contact war of only 30 years ago.  Probably a bigger deal among older folks.
