On most of the loyalty missions, your other squaddie doesn't say much. I think there are only certain squaddie combos whihc give rise to conversations. (like, I bring Garrus everywhere, and he has dialogue on Jack and Mordin's missions, but not on Jacob or Miranda's)

I recall thinking that Gar was dead, and just being gutted. Thank god he's awesome.

I have fallen into the pattern of letting Garrus take the shot at Sidonus after hearing him out. I think it gives them both closure. If there are Garrus-death realted consquences for that in ME3, heads will roll! lol

Doin' it in the engine room is held up as being classy - like the bedroom isn't good enough for Miranada. The crew quarters look out into that place, people!! Sigh. But I think it'd be hard for anyone to being romancing the Captain without the rest of the crew knowing. Isn't hers the only room on that floor? And you can bet EDI is monitoring it all. Plus, Zaeed lives next to the survallence screens. I have a thoeyr that somewhere in the galaxy, Joker (thanks to EDI)  and Zaeed have been making a few extra credits by selling Turian/Human porn. Saving the galaxy ain't the only reason Shepard's famous anymore...

Hey, guys, quick fanfic question. How long should the average fic be? I'm working on one (which features lots of Garrus) but it's currently clocking quite the workcount, and I'm torn between submitting it, editing it heavily, or splitting it into parts. Never done one before, so Im not sure on the etiquette. Will a long fic annoy people?

Also, anyone got any comment on the Turian art in Kasumi's mish? I want a copy for my room. lol.

I will replay the first two games however I must in order to get the desired result in ME3. Period.

And I'm still incredibly impressed at the job BW has done (and I'm sure will continue to do) tying together decisions you personally make in both games. I've never seen anything like it.

I'm replaying ME1 right now. The planet exploring sidequests suck soooo much but I must complete everything .

I bring him to Tali's just to see him on those stairs.

"No more sleepless nights."
"For either of us."

Closure. Simple and easy. (God, I love that mission! lol. Sorry. Umpteenth replay.)

Edit: to be clear, it's the whole mission I love, not the killing Sidonus bit. Just finished it and felt like sharing. lol

I replay ME and I am in the Afterlife. That Turian who shot bartender. Can someone tell me why he happily informs you that he got ship and a mate, but brought only one of them? I never saw a point in this line?

I always thought that guy was a Dragon Age reference? I haven't played it myself, but my friend laughed at a guy named Ogrinn caring very much about his booze.

On squad chatter--it's always the party member on the left at the bottom of your screen that pipes up, but they usually have generic interchangable comments except for a few missions (Zaeed and Tarak, Grunt and Garm, Jack and Captain Where The Hell Did You Get That Shotgun on Miranda's LM) and a few less-generic comments that still happen at the same place (most squaddies say something when you first enter the hospital in Mordin's LM, but I think Garrus is the only one who chats with Shepard). I think I remember hearing Garrus say something touching down on Jacob's LM, but it wasn't something memorable.

I was just wondering about that the
other day... As far as I know there's no references to his mom.
:/

It's interesting to note that Garrus's father is retired; either Garrus was raised mostly by his mother (he references his home being Palaven, not the Citadel) pre-retirement, or his very old father post-retirement. A few reasons for not mentioning his mom come to mind--she's dead; his parents aren't together any more or were never together at all; or next to his conflict with his father, his relationship with his mother was cordial, but nothing special, so whenever he talks about his family his father overwhelms everything.

I do hope she's not dead, ME has enough dead/absent mothers as it is.

Gah, I know...and my OCD won't let me miss a single thing.  There's a mineral deposit on top of a mountain somewhere that I swear was placed there by a very ticked off employee trying to p!ss off as many players as possible.  It took me nearly an hour, but I got the damn thing.

[Cerrydd]

I agree with Ray. Reasoning for that can be found a couple of pages back.



(cool, I can reply with my phone.)

Oh the frustration of driving the mako up a sheer cliffface, with the deposit in sight, only to fall down and have to spend about half an hour looking for an alternate way up!

I always thought that there should have been something for getting every single thing in the game, aside from the slight satisfaction of completion mixed with the crushing reaslisation that those were several hours of additional game playing time you will never get back in your life. Sigh.

Seriously, let Garrus drive the mako. I'll bet he could have awesomed his way straight to whereever you were trying to go.

I have to say, your other squad member's reactions while going through the ravaged Cerberus facility on Pragia (Jack's loyalty mission) are absolutely heart-wrenching (except the reactions of Miranda, who really doesn't care). Especially Mordin's. He just sounds so horrified and uncharacteristically speechless for a guy who normally never keeps his mouth shut.

"Kept children in here. Unacceptable."

Damn, I can't quote. That sucks.



@kglaser: Garruuus brought some miiighty fiiine wiiine.

Garrus is also better-armored than the Mako. Bleah, sometimes I thought that thing was origami made of tissue paper, the way it took damage.

Best he could afford on a cuttlebone's salary.
And why no quotey function?

[Mrs Vakarian]

Dude, how pissed do you think Garrus gets at Shepard's crap driving skills when driving the Mako? I just have this whole mental image of Shepard driving it off a cliff and banging the heck out of it, while Garrus is left in the passenger seat yelling at Shepard to take it easy and crying on the inside as it gets banged up... I mean the turian puts his heart and soul into that Mako... And I kind of like to drive it off cliffs... Now I feel kind of bad XD

Yeah. Garrus has survived more rockets to the face than that thing ever did.

...and yet it survived the Normandy crash landing remarkably well.

(also, I wasn't trying to say other people should let Sidonus die. I juts feel that that's the most honest outcome for my Shep. She's killed for vengence before, so she affors Garrus the same option. On may main romance playthrough she saved him.)

I must try taking someone other than Garrus on Jack's LM at some point.
...at some point.

Oh man, there is a cartoon about that...hahaha, I have to try and find it

Fair enough. I just get into debate-y mode too easy.

OK are one of the threads getting too long again? Because the board is acting all screwy and junk. >



I couldn't even see that link to delete it; that's why it ended up here twice. Apologies--don't know why the tags didn't work, either.

[janeym27]

@ray. I get that. I'm the same. lol. I think that particular point has come up so many times. I was just playing that particular mission, and I really like that outcome, so got carried away. Sorry for bringing anyone down.

janeym27: A fanfic should be as long as it needs to be. If you try to cut down a detailed story, or "pad out" a shorter one, the story will suffer. As long as every part in the story is serving a purpose (like developing a character or advancing the plot), then that's how long it needs to be. That being said, if your story is novella-length, I like to make chapter breaks between 3 and 6 thousand words, because that's more pleasant for most readers than, say, 50 thousand words of unbroken story. It breaks the story down into more digestable chunks.



On Garrus' Mom: Just my personal opinion: I see her so badly overshadowed by his father. It doesn't necessarily mean she's dead, absent, or weak--just that his father is so much the driving force in the family that he buries everyone else under the sheer onslaught of his personality. He certainly did his best to crush Garrus.
