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...

It could be but Garrus doesn't seem like the religious type. He never talks a lot about Turians in fact. He just talks about his life and about how he thinks the job should be done. Maybe this is tied to the idea of him believing that he is not a good Turian. Maybe talking about Turians reminds him of that and so he chooses not to talk about it. The only time he talks about something Turian is about "Reach and Flexiblity", Palaven being like Virmire and him not being a good Turian.

I don't think that he's terrible religious either.  And I know he says for a turian, he's a pretty bad one.

But he still is a turian.    It might be something that's just in the back ground.  Might be one of the reasons why his first expecience with Shepard was so molding, because she was the leader of their first tema, one that made a difference, save the galaxy. 

Eh, I could be trying to see something that's either not there, or not that a big deal.  Either way, it was just something that struck me as possible.  Thane got the quota for the "religious" guy, but sometimes I think it can be something subtle, not something that needs to be shoved in your face.

Oh and the thought totally struck me when I was pondering a scene between my Shep, Garrus and Papa Garrus:  THE INTRODUCTION! XD

Garrus. One we view as a person, and not as a Turian.



What other non-human squadmate can you quote as being so un-linked to their racial identity? Tali? Grunt? Legion?



I didn't think so

"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

Now I'm curious - does Mordin say this to MaleSheps, too? 

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.

Mordin is made entirely of awesome.  I've never meant that more in my entire life.

Aaaand now I made a thread for him, since the old one was so dead.  I figured it couldn't hurt.

It's got lots of awesome Mordin stuff that I didn't even know existed until I went looking for it. (I figured Advice!Mordin had to exist, but I never saw him around.)

Actually I think it's indicated that the rumors are started by Cerberus around the time you wake up (maybe a bit before, but not years)...
In any case, she says after she heard about it ,she wondered if Garrus had ended up with you (since she hasn't been able to reach him in forever and she knows you two were a team/friends etc... It kind of sounds like "He just never replies to emails, I don't know how else to try and contact him... Wait, Shep. is alive? Hmmm, maybe he's with him/her! *write write*) - I might be wrong, in which case I appologize for mis-reading, but it sounds like you're reading the "After being so happy to hear of your survival, I..." sentence as expressing that Garrus heard and was happy, but she's talking about "I" so herself there. She was happy about the news and then it occured to her that Garrus might be with you again.
I don't think there would have been any rumors while he was still on the Citadel in any case (Cerberus would have kept a lid on it until Shep. was at least nearly "functional", at which point it was in their interest to start rumors esp. about him/her being with their organization). If Garrus did hear rumors, it would have been on Omega, but I think he had his hands full there without time for gossip
To me it sounds like she's grasping for straws trying to get in touch with him, and since he was already  "busy with his grand crusades" on the Citadel in ME1 before you even pick him up, it's just a sign that she knows how he his and not a big stretch on her part that he'd be crusading wherever he is, even under the assumption that Shep. is dead and would hook up with the "save the galaxy" team again if he could.

I fail at life and totally misinterpreted the e-mail. 

Seems to me that once the rumors were started, however, that most people seem to think that you were alive the entire time (i.e. Kaidan, your mother (if you play with the Spacer background), Tali, etc.) and simply undercover.  You never really get to talk about it to any of your squadmates except Thane when you do is romance.

Ever think Garrus just wants to be left alone? He's been through a lot and I'm pretty sure the last thing in the galaxy he wants is a thread like this. Plus, what better way to support BBF Garrus than buy one of his splendid lithographs? Garrus says, "buy one now, or I'll savor the last shot before popping the heat sink"!

LEAVE HIM ALONE, JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE, LEAVE GARRUS ALONE!

One thing I liked about Thane in my playthroughs is synchronicity.

There is him-the sniper, the target, the well-aligned shot waiting to be fired, the girl who stands in the way of his bullet. The girl refuses to move, he falls in love, the target walks away unharmed.

And then, on the Citadel, there's another sniper, another target, another well-aligned shot waiting to be fired. Another girl stands in the way of the bullet and refuses to move. Thane falls in love (but alas, this time it's unrequited), Sidonis walks away unharmed.

Dude, someone totally needs to write a Garrus/Shep fanfic with Thane telling Garrus about his background and Garrus reflecting on this very coincidence. Awesome observation, seriously.

Now I kind of love the idea of tragic Thane being in love with my Garrus-romancing Shep. It's just so despicably, dramatically delicious, seeing as she'll never look at anyone else.

I used Zaeed as an example
because in one of his conversations he mentions going toe to toe with a
Krogan warlord and winning. I can imagine that it was a hand to hand
fight as he mentions taking out the krogans legs, stealing the krogans
gun and killing everything else. So I figured Garrus and him would be a
good fight.

Yeah, I kind of get the feeling Zaeed wasn't being entirely truthful about his 'exploits', though.
He's like that guy that prefaces everything he says with, "This is totally a true story, I swear."

Definitely think Garrus could take him, easy.

An excellent point; Garrus is one of the few characters that despite being distinctly turian, is not defined by 'turian'. Where most of the 'aliens' are really obvious in the reflections of their culture, Garrus stands out as an individual. He's not 'Garrus the Turian'. He's Garrus.

@Reptilian Rob: Oh come on, look at his face when he talks about the 'Archangel' nickname. Garrus loves the attention, he just doesn't want to admit it. ;D

Last time I did this he ended up the most hated man on a criminal hotspot, stuck trying to hopelessly defend a building from all sides. He even managed to ruin his face. Silly boy. NO. I will not leave you again, Garrus!

Garrus you dog, always calibrating those guns.

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?

I feel that Garrus drunk would contribute to the best sequence of events of my life. Exactly! Ha I gave ME1 a blitz-through today (doing one final Sentinel import), and I literally spent about 5 minutes marvelling at his intact face..."oh Garrus, if you only knew..."

He also has, IMO, the best in-game dialogue. Like snide comments in conversations ("...that's a little extreme Commander." "Laugh it up, Garrus...") You just get the feeling him and Shepard are actually friends, and not just team-mates. So yes Bioware, please maintain the Garrus! I figure he's been in the first 2, might as well let him finish the ride

Oh, and tell me hearing, "Scratch one!" isn't the most reassuring thing you'll ever hear mid-insanity!

EDIT:Forgot to add the quote...haha.

Heh, I recently finished my Insanity run with my Infiltrator with Miranda and Garrus.  It was the most epic, difficult, frustrating, and satisfying run.  And I'm never, EVER doing it ever again.  And yes, hearing my teammates take down enemies is sooooo worth it.

edited to fix the weird spacing and line off-cutting I was getting... let's hope it works out this time

Pertaining to the rest of your post though which I took out before thinking I might wish to comment on it... If it were my life, that's exactly what would have happened

Wow.. I.. wow.. I think I am scarred for life.

NEVER EVER go into the suicide mission without upgrading your ship. Even if you do it out of morbid curiosity, I will tell you right now, just no.

If you don't take garrus with you to fight the terminator-eyeball in the cargo hold, and you happen to take Thane on that fight, Garrus will get impaled and die horribly under a steel eye-beam crashing through his chest.

I didnt want to see that. I think I'll go curl up in a corner now.

(Mass Effect 2 suicide run death compilation)

It's probably in that or the sequel.. One of the videos will have some user comments that mention thane's spot will be replaced by garrus if you take thane to fight the eyeball though.

But yeah now I'm scarred for life thanks to this.

Edit: Oh god damnit and now I saw garrus take another rocket to the face in that door scene at the start. Looks like I'm hitting the booze tonight!

Is what happens with no ship upgrades. I don't think this one will show garrus, but they do comment about it.

Anyone ever wondered how Mordin even knows that Shepard is seeing someone? I'm trying to picture Garrus approaching Mordin for love advice. Because surely, Mordin will keep it confidential, right?

Garrus> ... Er, Mordin? Got a minute?
Mordin> Am busy developing new strain of human influenza, but can talk. What do you need?
Garrus> Er, well, I... You wouldn't know anything about... This is awkward. (He tugs at his collar.) ... Is it possible for a turian and a human, to, um... have cross-species intercourse?
Mordin> Ah. Kelly. Don't recommend. Suspect may be source of scale-itch on Normandy.
Garrus> Huh? What? No, not her, it's--it's somebody else. Just--seriously, I gotta know about this.
Mordin> Can't be Miranda. Not into aliens. Not Gabby, probably dating Donnelly. Other member of crew? No, no, Vakarian too busy calibrating... Could be... No, no, no, can't be. Shepard into scars? Thought that was krogan thing. Must take notes for research. Can't be Shepard, but... can't be anyone else.
Garrus> Right, fine, it's Shepard, now just give me some advice already. This is important!
Mordin> Of course. Hormones. Believe it is possible, yes. Comfortable, maybe not. Should be careful, humans... softer than turians. Might cause damage. Allergic reactions possible. ... Easier to explain with vids. Will have EDI send to your quarters.
Garrus> You mean somebody's... with a human?
Mordin> Humans strangely xenophilic. Seems strange, reproductive success unlikely with alien species. Impossible with turian. Must be stress factors. Vids will help. Remember, be careful.
Garrus> (turns to leave)
Mordin> Don't let Grunt see vids. Young mind, impressionable.
Garrus> ... I did not want to know that.

I guess you could call this my "why Garrus never watched those vids, part 2."  (First one being--Grunt stole his porn.  And wouldn't give it back 'cause he didn't want his battlemaster sullying herself with a turian.)

Completely and totally off topic, but I finally realized what it really was about Thane that made him so un-romanceable to me.

Abe Sapien had my heart first. And they look so similar to me, but Thane is not Abe, and so my heart is bitter. XD
...this is probably also why I think Thane looks like a fish.

And...yes...I did waste a whole 2 minutes of my life to make that unfunny picture.

Edit: I originally wrote "Thane is not Thane." WHAT A CONUNDRUM.
