Shepard: Ashley knows nothing. You kiss turians on both cheeks.

I think I would actually have to make an ME1 playthrough where I didn't dust her back on Virmire if in ME3 she makes a reference to your LI with Garrus and the "kissing turians" comment.  But as it stands I'm looking forward to the impending ME3 man-fight between Garrus & Kaidan.    Oh please oh please oh please, Bioware, make it gooood.

Ashley always gets Virmired in my playthroughs except for two times, the one where I romanced her and another time in which I romanced Liara but had no idea why I saved her. Even if I prefer her getting Virmired instead of Kaidan I always feel bad. It's just my "paragon" mentality that does that. Even if I don't like her she doesn't deserve to die but there's no other option so yeah.

Two suits of busted-up armor later I was surprised when he showed up in Shep's quarters for the romantic interlude in casual clothing without realistic battle damage.

Maybe afterwards...

Anyone else hoping for a Garrus/dad scene where he outs the romance? His dad's mandibles will probably fall off his face

I think Papa Vakarian would be the best way to inject Garrus' hilarious awkwardness back into the relationship in ME3.

I'm running out of Garrus-specific things to say, so here's a mission for the artists, should they choose to accept it. If you were redesigning Garrus's targeting monocle, what would it look like? Go go go! If permission is given, I will turn said monocle design into a prop for Von. No profit will be made by me, this is a labor of love. I wanna see what the community comes up with.  

Gah, like I really need another art distraction. ::shakes fist:: xD

I really like his monocle/scouter thing the way it is, but if it had to be changed, here are some ideas (the first is based on the concept in the CE art book 'cause it looked so awesome).

But I really like how he says "Damnit Shepard, what's taking you so long" with a hint of worry in his voice <3

Umanix, that chibi Garrus is terrific! Do you know what it's made out of?
Also, LOL at monocle'd, mustache'd and cigar'd Garrus. xD

Mass effect 3 is going to be the biggest "I told you so" in game history. I can just imagine Shepard and Garrus going back to the council and Garrus being all like- Ah yes..."Reapers"

 Found an awesome song for Garrus and Fem!Shep.

Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry



Go on and close the curtains 
cause all we need is candle light 
You and me and a bottle of wine 
going to hold you tonight 
Well we know I'm going away 
and how I wish, I wish it weren't so 
So take this wine and drink with me 
let's delay our misery 

Save tonight 
and fight the break of dawn 
Come tomorrow 
tomorrow I'll be gone... 

EDIT: I fail at linking urls...

 It physically hurts me if I leave Ash behind because I can't stop thinking about her sisters and how much they're gonna miss her. If Kaidan had wanted to live he should've made a better case for himself.



...Also, I get a weird pleasure out of nuking Kaidan that I'm not really proud of but...yeah, feels good to nuke that little fairy.

It's exactly the opposite for me, because I think of it as "well, at least her family/parents have other children to carry on with the family genes!", whereas Kaidan never mentions any siblings and for all I know is an only child.

I've never tried nuking Kaidan in a playthrough where I was romancing him, though (and since I romanced him in 95% of my playthroughs...).  I really hope they don't have a similar live/die situation for your ME2 LI, but I can't imagine them reusing that plot device.

Kinda on topic(?): In ME3, when the supposed "consequences" of our cheating ways come to fruition with a possible confrontation between Liara/Kaidan and Garrus, do you think they'll give us an option to ditch Garrus and return to our ME1 LIs?  Just a thought that only just now occured to me (durr, I'm slow).

I feel bad about laughing at that...but I did. *giggle*

I nuke Kaidan. Spares me the effort of continuously shutting down his interest. And I think Ashley has more potential for character growth than he does. Although they're both relatively stable, she's not a fan of aliens, whereas Kaidan's just sort of there and friendly to everyone.

And he's boring. She's minutely more interesting. The only reason I don't like her, and I blame the writers for this one, was because she quotes "O Captain, My Captain" before sex, and, well, that was a poem about Lincoln's death. Uh, wot? <_<

In any case. Garrus. Yes.

Once again, my vote for Daddy Vakarian in ME3 is up.

I kinda wish all the LIs had kinda personal quests in ME3. I think that would be interesting. And Garrus' would be Meet the Family. xD

[silentstephi]

I actually have a tendency to Virmire Ash now that I've had a chance to really go through their histories.



Here's why:



Ash seems really bent out of shape over who her Grandpa is. At least this way, she can die a hero, and not the zero Grandpa was.

>.>



Ok, lame I know, but still! It's just a thought... XD

And the fact that the plot device was already used is the only thing that makes me feel safe at night.:PSeriously, if it weren't for that it seems like that would be exactly the sort of drama that Bioware would want to put in. I'd be afraid. (I still am, but more in the way that I was when I first met EDI: "Oh, this is kind of cool.  I know bioware wouldn't make her evil, that's way too cliche. ....Still...I guess it could happen. Don't do it Bioware, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it..."  That kind of optimistic-yet-wary attitude, you know what I'm talking about.)

And I think that a) they'll give us the option to return to the ME1 interest, but it'll somehow horribly backfire and one of the LI's will die in a totally unrelated incident but you the player will know that it's your fault, or they'll give you the option to go back, and the "consequences" will be just stern words.  I think the dying is more likely  since Bioware's been preaching CONSEQUENCES!!! since day 1.  Again, not mah problem because I told Kaidan to kiss my butt several times and then nuked him on top of that.   And for some reason, I kept screwing up Liara's romance anyway (she seemed to think I was in a relationship with Kaidan every time, and I'm like..."You sure?"), so that's also out.  

Irrelevant, because I always pretended Garrus was my LI in ME1 anyway, so from my perspective I've been "Faithful" the whole time.

I've been trying to find a reason to motivate myself to complete a ME1/ME2 maleShep playthrough, but all of the LIs are completely blah to me.  Now if Samara had been available, there is an asari I would actually pursue.
But what with 3 out of the 4 femShep LI's being more or less awesome (IMO, of course) I just can't seem to do it.

Pre-coitus poetry = boner shrinker.  Way to go, Ash.    I had a guy attempt to whisper poetic nothings into my ear once and, yea...I think my laughter kinda killed the mood (but it was worth it for the hilarious story, haha).

Edit: @siltsonata - I originally thought that the Bioware devs threw in that "consequences!" line as a way to appease the frantic Liara/Kaidan/Ashley fans.  I'm not entirely sure anything substantial (plot-wise) is going to come of it since the majority of people on the forums seem to have cheated, heh.

I'm eventually going to play through both games again with a slight variation of the same Shepard who romanced Garrus just because I want to see if these differences change anything in ME3 - Spacer background (in hopes that Shepard's mom and Garrus' dad will create a combined awkward meeting), blowing up the Collector base (because the first one saved it), and ignoring Parasini to get the e-mail from Lorik (not for ME3, I just want the e-mail).

It would be awesome if Ashley had some special dialogue for Shepard about Garrus, but I'm not sure how my Shepard would be able to justify saving her... except for one playthrough (where a Shepard romances her just so I can see the effects of cheating in ME3), they always save whoever's with the nuke, which is Kaidan. Who does the salarian want to take with him if Shepard lets him choose? If it's Kaidan, then that'll work. Or I could alter Shepard's morals so that she'll want to save the salarian group, and then I'll get to watch her in both fight scenes with Saren. Actually, that would be awesome... but it would involve an "Assuming Direct Control" moment of my Shepard. xD

Shepard: Alright, we're going to save Kai-- ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.

Garrus: ...Commander? o_o;

Shepard: Ashley. We're going to save Ashley.

[Annora]

I romanced Kaidan and Virmired him once, I felt terrible. I liked Kaidan, I still like Kaidan. I look forward to the LI drama that will most likely happen. Fight for me, my loves.

[silentstephi]

I've given up on doing a Male shep playthrough. As much as I love Tali and would be curious to see how it goes, every time I've tried donning the MShep... I shake my head and restore back to FemShep. I just like playin' the girl more. XD

More of the continuing adventures of Commander Garrus Shepard! Our intreped hero is now dishing out hot turian style justice on the Citadel:

Commander Garrus in "kneecap shooting out" mode.
"TURIAN, MOTHER F**KER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!"
"I'm holding you against the wall with one hand effortlessly. Let the fangirls swarm upon me."
Commander Garrus takes aim and- crap, he's fallen asleep
Commander Garrus tends to get a tad nervous around influential Asari call girls.
Oh yeah. She has the "Palaven Fever" for sure.

More shall come.

I can't see Kaidan initially getting into a physical fight with Garrus, but perhaps somewhere in the middle/end of the game he could overhear something between FemShep & Garrus that would be the final straw.  I could see him trying to stifle his feelings initially (especially in regards to his behavior on Horizon, he might feel responsible for FemShep ditching him), but I can also see those emotions manifesting in an out-of-thw-blue punch if he ever walked in on an intimate FemShep/Garrus moment.
Ahhh, but I can only wish at this point.    I love these idiotic romantic scenarios, truly.

Ah yes, the "Hybrid Child" thread, an incredibly weird and stupid idea posted on a thread that has nothing to do with the topic.



We've dismissed that claim.

[Gar_Logan]

Umm...and back to the topic............



I can see Kaidan getting into a shouting match with Garrus. But they are both usually cool-headed enough not to go any further than that.

Yeah, that's the problem with both of them.  I can't imagine either one getting too bent out of shape in the other's presence, and definitely not while Shepard's around.  They may privately angst, but they both keep stuff pretty professional.

My sentiments exactly, on all of it.

I actually really liked Ash. I liked her more than Tali in the first one. If she hadn't been so mean to my Shep on Horizon, and had come along with to remind me how much I like her, I'd probably have liked her more than Tali in ME2. Tali's like a little sister/fangirl to my FemShep, whereas Ash is totally her best gal pal. They really get each other in a way a lot of the ME2 chicks just don't get FemShep, and really don't try to.

Seriously. I keep wondering why people are calling this dude Shepard, because, don't they remember? Shepard is that hot blonde woman! Being around Garrus makes me especially sad because I miss the chemistry.

@Tootles: Ditch Garrus? Maybe, but why would you want to? D8 ... I do wish we'd have a confrontation, but Garrus is just too awesome to get into a physical fight. Stupid as it is, they'd probably script all of ManShep's LI confrontations as catfights, and all of FemShep's as arguements, simply because Liara is for either and you know none of those gentlemen would come to blows with her.
@SavageLycan: Those are awesome. I especially like sleeping Garrus. D'aww! <3

RE: Meet the Parents. Does anyone else think about how terrible this could go if you went Renegade? Shepard and Garrus busting into Papa Vakarian's house without so much as a how do you do. "Hey, pop. This is my new squeeze, and she's a Spectre. Got anything to say about it? No? DIDN'T THINK SO. If you'll excuse us, we've got asses to kick and reporters to punch, kthx. Garrus out!~"

Okay, maybe it wouldn't go -exactly- like that, but.. The cute awkwardness would be completely replaced by some severe family tension, methinks. xD;

ACTUALLY!

....sorry. Actually: I think that would be great character development for Kaidan. He's usually laid back. When he was younger and killed the Turian biotic...trainer...guy...(man, I'm a blank on his history now,) he always used to hold back. (Though the Eden Prime thing stopped this, at least Biotically.) If he was serious about Shepard, and she was with Garrus after ME2, the angst would probably build up. Near the end, they could have Kaidan confront Garrus, and fight for Shepard. (Though, it probably wouldn't do any good, it would still show he's grown a quad.) It would be good development for him.
