On a Garrus-related note, has anyone ever come across people who say they like the Garrus romance because it doesn't have any sweeping declarations of love or affection, and thus they think it doesn't have any potential for a long-term relationship?

I saw this somewhere in the thread. Different strokes.

That line of thinking honestly baffles me. For one, I don't understand the mindset of entering into a relationship -- particularly one with a close friend -- that you have no intention of even trying to make work long-term.

Friends with benefits. It happens sometimes.

And two, I actually can't help but feel kind of sorry for those people if they think that sparkly hearts-and-flowers romantic feelings are a better foundation for a long-term relationship than deep mutual trust and respect.

It's not as if those are mutually exclusive.

Tingly feelings fade over time. Trust and respect stand a much better chance of enduring.

Indeed.

I'm mostly with Collider on this one. There's no doubt that trust and mutual respect are critical to a lasting relationship (or any kind for that matter), but chemistry & romance can be very imporant to certain people when choosing a romantic partner, especially since when relies on attraction. 

(On a side related-topic,) part of the reason why I'm all for Garrus and Shepard is because the writers managed to incorporate excellent chemistry into their interactions. The banter doesn't sound forced, and the manner in which those two characters express their admiration for each other sounds rather entertaining, yet at the same time, heart-warming. It almost felt like Garrus & Shep were kindred-spirits -- for lack of a better term -- of different worlds. IMO, they had something going on that couldn't be accurately defined by the terminology "friendship" or "romance" alone.

Furthermore, I like to think "trust and respect" like the "what's" of a relationship, and tingly feelings, friendship, professional interests or anything else like the "hows" of the relationship. One has to admit though, just because two individuals may share what's necessary to keep their dynamic going, doesn't mean they're the most interesting folks to watch. I'm inclined towards the awkward and cute moments myself, so in the place of heavier-romances, that's what keeps me rooting for Garrus and FemShep.

There was a list of them on the ME wiki, but I'm not sure what happened to it. I'll try to find the quotes.

Xsause at your service!

GARRUS' COMBAT CHATTER:


"And stay down!"

"Concussive shot ready."

"Firing a high impact shot."

"Headshot!"

"Impressive!"

"Never saw me comin'!"

"One less to worry about!"

"Scoped and dropped!"

"Scratch one!"

"Sniped that one!"

"This should punch through their armor."

"This should slow them down."

"Yes!"

I kind of doubt that; if you don't go the romance way and offer to actually spar with him, he tells you he doesn't feel like getting the crap beat out of him. B!TCHES DON'T KNOW 'BOUT MY ELBOW OF DEATH

I was
actually thinking about writing a fanfic about that. Let's just say
part of the dialogue included this:

[b]*SHEPARD and
GARRUS are watching an intimate love scene between FILM-KAIDAN and
FILM-SHEPARD (which never happened IRL).*

You know, I'd bet that Risa Ulverson would go the Femshep/Liara way. Gotta get that teen boy demographic.

You know?  I never,
ever thought of this before, but it would totally fit in with Garrus's
adorkable romance persona ../../../images/forum/emoticons/wizard.png

And as
for turian females (I've said it before, but I'd really, really,
*really* like to see them, I imagined them as similar to males, but
slimmer basically everywhere.  IDK YMMV. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]

I
can just imagine Garrus standing there, trying to be suave.
Garrus: Your
waist look very, uh... *actually looks at Shep's waist for the first
time, thinking: Damn, I never noticed that before. Think fast!*
...supportive?

I've mentioned this before, but I like the idea of female turians having a thicker waist than males; if you take a good look at the casual turians, their waist is incredibly skinny. They can't possibly be storing organs in there, and a female would only require more space for reproductive organs (even if they lay eggs, the egg grows in the body, and there needs to be space for that). Also, I find the idea that the males have wasp waists and the females are boxy just funny. Suck it, human gender expectations!

(actually men tend to have thinner waists than women on average; it's just that women's breasts and wider hips exaggerate the difference and make their waists appear smaller by comparison. my male friends can fit into much smaller skirts than I can)

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that Garrus was that much better at ass-kicking than FemShep (in a fair fight, I reckon it's be quite the contest!). The implication was that she thought they were going to do some sexin', and was unprepared for Garrus launching into a physical attack.

Yeah, Garrus kind of mentions this on the side if you turn him down in the final romance scene (not that I ever turned him down, but I've YouTubed it)

Think he says "I'd just have torn a ligature, anyway." before walking off. Man, that was sad.

[Mrs Vakarian]

Wait... So people actually think the Garrus & Shep relationship isn't going to be long term? I believe that out of all the romances, it was the most promising one. The romance scene itself was the least sexed-up out of all the other ones... And I found it to be the sweetest and most sentimental.



Plus I see Garrus and Shepard (at least my Shepard) to be perfect for one another. They're similar in so many respects. Both are skilled in fighting, both have experienced the pain of losing teammates,both are driven to bring justice to the galaxy, and they've been through hell and back, not once, but twice.



Also, in the romance scene, Shepard has her scars (regardless of whether or not you healed them) and her reaching up to touch Garrus' is just symbolic of the fact they are (in terms of what someone said earlier) kindred spirits, or soul mates in my opinion.



I'm not one for love stories of any kind (like I seriously hate romance movies and books XD) but I thought Bioware did an amazing job with Garrus and Shepard. Seriously my favorite couple/romance of all times. I can't wait to see how it turns out in ME3.

So far my plan involves flying to Canada and breaking a company window to get inside. Its not quite refined yet but I have a brick packed so , half way there really.

Let me guess: your version of the game will open with a Garrus shirtless scene? 

Not that I'd complain, shirtless Garrus is badass.

If you MUST know , there will be a good non-sexual reason for such a thing, if I did write about that, which I didn’t. ...and if I DID its not just 15 minutes of shirtless Garrus rotating slowly to barry white music while he does the  occasional flex with each rotation. ...* mordin cough*

Non sexual reasons, hmm?

Firefight. Bullets flying. Garrus is knocked off his feet. Shepard kills the last of the enemy, and rushes to his side.

Shepard: Garrus! Are you alreaight?
Garrus: Fine, Commander. just a little winded.
Shepard: I don't like the looks of this. We'd better get this armour off.

*short pause*

Garrus: Shepard, what's a "tuesday"?

-

My idea on how ME3 could possibly open on a non-sexual Garrus shirtless scene? I don't know. Maybe he and Shepard are in their normal clothes right when they get attacked by enemies, and Shepard has to lift Garrus' shirt up to treat him with medi-gel.

Naaaaaaaaaah.

Shepard: Sexual Harrassment? Me?
Jacob: Garrus has reported that he no longer feels confident going on missions with you. He has requested we switch him to shipbound duties.
Shepard: I'm sick of your disengenuous assertions, Jacob!
Miranda: This the third suit of armour Garrus has gone through in as many weeks. And according to EDI, you are constantly interupting vital gunnery callibrations when he's on duty. This can't continue, Shepard.
Shepard: I don't have time for this.

She storms out.
