Perhaps their cover up is just a big joke on Shep... (saw this on the "If you were Commander Shepard" thread, I edited it a bit to save space though):
<stuff>
For some reason I can just see the Council giggling about driving poor Shep. insane

..that or rather like my cat when he was still a tiny fuzzy kitten. Also, don't ask.
It's okay, I can imagine. As much as I constantly remind myself they are supposed to be bird-dinos, I can never get my first impression of "cat" out of my head. It may partly be Saren's fault, his extra "fringe" looks kind of like whiskers. The shape of their mouths...And their little noses! Even the way they walk, it's bird like with the feet, but also has a catlike quality, but more like, say, a cheetah (they're a bit gangley), than a tiger or lynx or something. And the sharp teeth. Wow I am thinking of new ones even now. AND perhaps the most imporant thing of all....the purrrrrrring voices rowr! I wonder if turians purr when they are happy
Actually I think it's just ME1's fault. When I see some of the screenies I have of Garrus from ME1... he looks very kitty like. It's weird Oo
And yea, the vibro voice doesn't help deter that train of thought. o.O But does that mean Drell and Turians can purr?
Gah, trying to catch up with all of these posts! I don't think his compliments were "forced" - I think he was just trying to compliment her in a context that he understood. He even says as much with the "If you were a turian I'd be complimenting you on your..."; he's in an awkward situation and he wants things to go right (again, as stated) - the problem is that he doesn't know what is socially acceptable to say to a human female.Brass_Buckles wrote...
Except that his "compliments" in his final scene also seem strained/forced, to me. Part of that can be attributed to not knowing what to say, but surely he can think of a better way to compliment hair than that it looks "good"--if he actually means it. I doubt he'd get away with what he said if Shepard were a turian! I'm assuming that what we hear of Garrus is through a translator--if he knows some Earth languages/English and has switched to it there, then I could understand the poor choice of words. No matter how awkward he's been in either game, I've never before seen him choose his wording that poorly. And why would you think he's attracted to other species if he's never been drawn to consider looking at them? People tend to notice when they think someone is attractive. I think, given the dialogue, that in the Shepard-Garrus romance, it's not about physical attraction at all. It's because of who they are--and to me, that's a lot nicer than believing that they think each other is hot.

The issue of whether Shep was declared/believed dead, and how long the rumors of her survival took to start going around, is still one of the biggest question marks left for me. Seems like every time I read a thread about it, people have different quotes from their respective games that support one theory or the other. I don't know if this is affected by your ME1 choices or what? Or it's just a matter of what you happen to hear/see.
My first impressions were that the rumors of her being alive only started after she actually woke up and was spotted on omega and other places (i always forget you don't technically have to go there first). But then, I also didn't pay as good attention to what Cerberus people and others said in the beginning, because I naively assumed that Shepard's miraculous rise from the dead, first time achieved by medical science in the galaxy, would be, you know, reacted to more, by squaddies, NPCS, and everyone. People even argue over whether Shep was declared dead or missing in action. In my game, Jacob tells her the alliance declared her dead. But then, someone like Garrus who sees how shady the following coverups were, might be tempted to disbelieve *anything* they hear on the matter. Who knows though. I don't know what to think...

So, random thought on Garrus's burning need to avenge his team...
Turian religion... the team/squad/ship has it's own spirit. You think maybe part of his reaction to losing his squad is tied in to the whole fact that now the spirit of what they were doing is dead? The thought is still barely formed in my brain, and I'll have to look over the codex entry again... but it'd be an interesting insight to why he's out for Sidonus. Especially since Sidonus is another turian and should understand even more what he's done. May even be why Sidonus feels like he's already dead back at the Wards.
Just a thought...
The bizarre thing is that Jacob also says that Shepard's death was hushed up and the Alliance never openly declares Shep dead (internally, perhaps, but not to the public)--but then a whole bunch of civilians, like the store owners, react like 'I thought you were dead!'. Perhaps they simply assumed because Shepard fell quite suddenly out of the public eye? Still, it's really weird. A lot of contradictory information going around.Gerse1 wrote...

I was actually hoping there would be a scene wherein Shep had a mini-freak out at, ya know, DYING. The most we get is a shocked "Two years? I've been gone TWO YEARS?", and then it's business as usual. Considering that she experienced death by suffocation I imagine the memories would be pretty traumatizing.ComTrav wrote...

I do like that about Garrus, but in Thane's defense...Shep IS always asking people to talk about their problems. heh. I just wish that more characters than, well, Jacob, would ask her the same in return.
No one cares about the player character's problems....
"Why, thank you for asking, Garrus. Since you asked, dying kind of sucked, and also wasn't fun coming back and seeing how the old crew completely team apart without me. Oh, and I worked so hard to save the Council and convince Chief Williams that they were good and useful, and it seems I was wrong."

From what I hear their threads are just bigger because they talk a lot of nonsense. People here like to focus on things more and discuss better than them. That or the Tali fans ar just too many, well at least Garrus doesn't have any haters. The same can't be said about Tali.

Garrus
is so badass he is completely unphased by the arrival at his base of
his doppelganger from the future, accompanied by what very well may be
zombieShep, and a geth.
Somehow I feel like Legion was *not* the most "interesting choice" in this video, lol....

Point taken. I was just browsing them myself...yep, tali love has gotten...disturbing. Over in the Tali camp they are discussing someone's creation of a quarian sex doll...I kid you not. Haha.
I just feel that Garrus is such a better character, overall. He essentially is the best friend of Shep. He's also the only one I can imagine going on a night out with. Haha.
Turian/Human drinking games-starts off fine, until the idea of mixing drinks comes around...
Now I'm curious - does Mordin say this to MaleSheps, too?Gerse1 wrote...
"If intended to try human, would try you!" LOL. And look, even Mordin said that asari were oddly attractive to him, "possibly neurochemical." EVERYTHING WE KNOW IS A LIE
Sialater wrote...
Human females have one "benefit" when it comes to interspecies, er... diplomacy, let's call it. They bear an uncanny resemblance to the asari which most species seem to find incredibly attractive.
So, no, I don't think he's got a "fetish," but until now he and Shep have been thoroughly in the friend zone. You don't THINK about your friends and commanding officers like that.And heck, in my ME1 play through, he and Kaiden (who I do like and did romance) were pals.
I'm such an evil ****, Garrus broke the Bro Code for my Shep.
As far as Shep's concerned... She trusts Garrus and needed a shoulder after Horizon and before risking all their lives.
On another tangent, I've been thinking about your team of saints, sinners, miscreants and misfits... You have to work so hard on their loyalty because you have to convince them to be willing to die for you, not fight for you. I guess, looking at it that way, still having to do Tali's and Garrus' loyalty quests are necessary.

Seriously, with each playthrough I fall more in love with Mordin. I find myself talking to the TV as I'm playing (like a crazy person) that if Mordin had been a LI Garrus would have been in trouble.
Splinter Cell 108 wrote...
Agreed. I like Tali but not as much as those people. Garrus drunk would be an interesting thing to see. I wonder how is it that he didn't become an alcoholic, just look at all the messes he got into, I wouldn't be surprised if he was an alcoholic. In fact I think I wouldn't like to see him drunk, he'd probably tell Shepard about all his mistakes and about everything he regrets. Besides he doesn't need drinking he has Shepard. Who could ask for more?

Maybe it's just a joke due to someone pointing out (legitimately) that it makes no sense for species so different from humans to be attracted to something otherwise humanoid.
