I also caught myself wondering what happens if you don't let him shoot Saleon in the first game, then don't let him shoot Sidonis in the second...then such a chance comes up in the third game and you say no again, will he completely lose his temper and point the gun at you or something?


That's an idea I'm strangely OK with (mostly because we all know that as angry as Garrus may get with Shep, he'd never pull that trigger. For friendship and for fear that if he doesn't drop her in one shot she'll put the hurt on him in a bad way).

Either that or in the 3rd game you get some payoff, like were he to have the opportunity to drop yet another person who has crossed him some way, and thinks of your earlier guidance, and chooses not to on his own. Or the opposite if you've been letting him use firearms to solve his problems. *Shrug*

little did we know, garrus has a hidden sniper behind his fringe, so he could scope and drop people even he can't see.

It'd be nice if there is an opportunity for him to solve a problem his way in the third game, without your intervention. There is a lot of emphasis on which way you lead him. That could make for a nice payoff.

Or maybe in ME3 Renegade Garrus will be the one being tracked down to face justice...I seriously don't know.

But I do think they'll stick a "Garrus finds a solution for a conflict without your help" thing in it.  That would definitely help to show you how far Garrus has come along, whether it be as a Renegade or a Paragon.

At least, for Paragon/Paragade Shepards. Renegades...well, congratulations; you just let a good friend and ally betray himself and commit cold-blooded murder in the very heart of the Citadel.

I was with you until that last bit.
No.  You gave a friend closure.   Nothing about killing Sidonus is 'cold blooded'.  Renegade Sheps expect the same damn treatment from him when the role is reversed.


Killing an unarmed civilian in a public place from across the room is pretty cold.  Rogue snipers aren't admirable.  And for somebody who once cared about safety on the Citadel, that's a pretty terrifying crime.

Yeah, this. I was pretty shocked by the fact that he was willing to assassinate an unarmed man in the middle of somewhere he used to protect, and that's partly why I always talk him down.

w00t! Broke 9000! XD

(I'd love it if Garrus got pissed off for inconsistancy. I forgot the first time I played ME2 that my imported character had let him kill Saleon, so when I paragoned him into letting Sidnus go, he was a bit surprised and then I felt bad that I was being hypocritical. lol)

I think the whole kill/not kill thing comes down to the way you are playing your own Shepard. Or how much of a Deathwidh fan you are. lol (sorry - number 3 is on TV). I agre that there is a difference between armed/unarmed killing, but I also think that the Sidonus thing isn't as simple as murder: from where Garrus is, it's justice. His experience of C-Sec is a revolving door system, and since everyone bar him who knew about it is dead (and Archangel is presumed dead), there is no reason for him to expect Sidonus to be taken to justice any other way. I also think that on a personal level, it's actually more punishing to let Sidonus live with his guilt, but Garrus doesn't view the world quite that way, so this way they both get closure. Having said that, I have several games on the go, so whatever happens, I'm covered in ME3. lol But this is going in circles a bit, so let's call SUBJECTIVITY WIN! and get back to some Garrus lovin'. XD


EDIT: I didn't mean that lovin' thing literally...

I do hope so.  Or else they'll just have an end tag of "Hey Shepard, I'm a mob boss now!" Or "Hey Shepard, I'm a mayor now!"  And then I'll frown.

The fact that Shepard can reason with Garrus in both situations tells me it would require a lot for him lose his temper and point his gun at Shepard. He's hotheaded, but he's not Saren. There was a post I made on the old forums where I was trying to explain part of the reason behind Garrus' malleability in the first game. Some of that essay (it was freakishly long for me) was him trying to prove to Shepard that he wasn't like Saren, who he describes in his own words as a "madman" and a "raving lunatic." I think that's part of the reason why he was willing to lend an ear to Shepard's opinions on how things should be done, and why he was able to be reasoned with concerning Sidonis and Saleon. 

...Although another part of me wants to say part of his malleability could also be attributed to him not being 100% behind the idea of taking the bad guys down first no matter what the cost. Regardless of how Shepard impresses him, a core belief of his character is to protect people IMO. He thinks it might be better to "kill dangerous people" first and take care of innocents/hostages later, but he's not completely sold on it. That's why he joins up with Shepard on the Normandy in the first place: the whole thing is an experiment to see if what he thinks is true or a good fit for him.

Just to clarify:

"a core belief of his character is to protect people IMO"

This is also why Sidonis has yet to bite a bullet in my game.

OK, this might be stretching too much...ok, it is. But it's been shown that people who receive traumatic brain injuries sometimes end up with radical personality changes thereafter. Missile to head = possible personality change between games?

Eh, like I said, just playing around with ideas here. I find it interesting. :)

Shepard: ...I support Project Lazarus for Saren in ME3! >.>; *begs the Illusive Man* Nihlus would be cool too. I miss them both. I support an all-turian squad plus Shepard in ME3!


I just want Etarn Tiron on my team. He'd kill the Reapers with epic sales pitches!

The turian who wants to name his firstborn after Shepard? :D I liked him. The major downside of killing the Council is that I heard he doesn't like Shepard if that happens... Well, and the fact that Shepard gets no turian airquotes.

@kglaser: Right, that's what Wrex said! xD "Guess they had it coming." I don't remember if Shepard shot any or not... maybe on my first playthrough, when I didn't know it was possible.

Saren's lines are the best. :) He's definitely one of my favorite characters - he used to be number two, but now he might be tied with Garrus for number one.

The Sidonis debate seems to come up a lot. Anyway, I already said that my Shepards are the type to go for revenge kills, and some of them have personal reasons to hate traitors, or memories of their own teammates being killed (Sole Sorvivors). I think Evil Shepard has a really good point though - if Shepard hadn't reached Garrus soon enough, he might have been killed because Sidonis left him facing off against three merc gangs without a team.

Sure, Evil Shepard doesn't personally care about Garrus' teammates, he would betray people if he decided it was necessary, and he only cares about Garrus as a loyal, useful member of his team at a time when loyalty is more important than ever, but if Sidonis' actions led to Garrus' death, Evil Shepard would have tracked him down and killed him (not like Garrus did though, probably more like when Garrus beat up Harkin, and then he'd kill him). Nothing against the Paragon Shepards - every Shepard has their own opinions and values, but I wonder if they would be so quick to forgive if it was their friend/love interest who was killed.

Hahaha, the ol' cartoon trick.  Just hit him on the head again and he'll return to normal.

Actually my dad had some serious brain trauma a few years back.  It definitely made him more mellow, though with some people it goes the other way.

I wouldn't be quick to forgive, and I wouldn't expect Garrus to be either.  But I would hope somebody would pull me back from doing something terrible in my grief.

GARRUS: Sure you could. Not as stylishly, of course.

I guess our Shepards are just different, but that's what makes Mass Effect so great, there are many different ways to play the game. :)

I could see my Shepards getting really angry with anyone who tried to stop them (and in Evil Shepard's case, he would see that as a betrayal). A Conrad-style situation would work really well with that - talk it out, punch/kick them, or shoot them. I've seen a lot of talk on the forums about a betrayal in ME3.
