Am I the only one who doesn't like the Garrus lithograph? It's not that it's *bad*, it just doesn't look like Garrus to me. His chin is way too big. And the helmet+lighting+large metallic objects kind of gives my mind the impression he's a mechanic for the first nanosecond before I realize, oh, no, right....

That is one messed up Shep.

It's funny you have votes among your characters... LOL

He never even romances anyone because he's afraid they'll get killed off too. xD If that happened, it would be his "everything I touch dies" moment. It's too bad he couldn't question the Illusive Man about Akuze. After Jack's loyalty mission, he would have wanted to say, "Just tell me that what happened on Akuze was done by a rogue faction, even if it's a lie!"

I think Shepard #14 (evil Shepard) has the best vote of all - "most likely to become the galaxy's next big threat after the Reapers are gone."

Oh good... you are braver than I... I too have that "mechanic" moment and some chin size issues, but I pretty much assumed it was just me and I would be tarred and feathered if I mentioned it LOL. As you say, it's not that it's *bad*, but it just doesn't scream "Garrus" at me, you know?

Well, anyway, no you're not the only one

*raises hand*

Somehow... it feels... 'off', I guess. It's good, but it doesn't really look all that much like Garrus to me.

You're not the only two, . It doesn't scream out "I must have that" when I look at it - not to me at any rate. Just not my style I guess, for the same reasons mentioned above.

Well, I took one glance through the first page and didn't bother reading the thread - should have stopped at the topic title, but I wanted to get an idea of just what the train of thought was. In cases like this you're dealing with people who are basically missing the point entirely and should be politely ignored because there can be no reasoning with them - they just don't get it. And besides, it's their loss, . They seem to think that physical appearances are what make and break it all, which is nonsense. Not to mention, I can think of a few things that humans like to engage in extracurricular activities with that make having sexual relations with sentient aliens look like child's play...come on...horses? And we all know about the sheep and the dogs. 

I don't want to hear about how weird it is to do it with an alien when humans will clearly stick anything into or stick into anything to get their rocks off. 

The point is, I find the alien personalities more engaging than any of the human ones. If they were real people, I would like them, a lot. I could certainly like some of them strongly enough to love them, and any sentient species is capable of love and emotion. That's all you need in the end. 

I've said it a million times - you can find any respective species to be handsome or attractive - they don't have to be yours to recognize this. Add in sentience and you've got all the ingredients you need to have sexual attractiveness as well. If they're interested in you and you're interested in them - especially on the emotional level - you're going to feel it just as you would with a human, and just as you would a human that you love - you'll want to please them physically in whatever way you can. 

Appearances alone are superficial. There is far more to it than that. 

Just as an example; there are people in the world who become horribly disfigured in accidents of all kinds and appearance wise they many no longer look very human, but is anyone going to say that it's weird to love them or want to have an intimate relationship with one? That's ridiculous. They're still people with dreams, emotions, and opinions and they certainly don't deserve that sort of treatment. 

Wow, great wall of text!

Yeah, I agree. Garrus's chin is really strange, and I can't stop staring at the Cerberus logo shaved into the back of Shep's head.

It's not that I don't like it, there are just 2 things that bother me enough to make me not want to buy it.

-The way Garrus' toes wrap around whatever his foot is resting on
-Shepard has a Cerberus logo shaved into the back of his head

Other than that, I remember +fav-ing it on dA a while back. I've been watching that artist for a while and I love his use of colors.

I agree, I don't like it either. He doesn't look like a Turian and looks less muscular than usual.

Well, if you read my post in that same thread:  I don't think, if the aliens looked like that, acted like that, and were real, I'd be dating one--I could be wrong, of course, but somehow it strikes me that it'd be harder to fall for an alien in reality than it would be in a game.  I don't find them physically attractive, probably because the face is the first thing that attracts me, rather than the body shape.  But I enjoy the alien romances in the game, because I'm with you on one point:  the alien personalities are usually more interesting, and less annoying--or offensive--than the human ones.  Despite being directly propositioned, Garrus for instance is not just after sex (what with all the talk about "us" he's apparently hoping it will be something more), and he never once tells Shepard he wanted to put a control chip in her head.  What's with that, anyway?  I doubt, if he vanishes or becomes a cameo in ME3 (assuming you let him live--but YOU DID DIDN'T YOU?) that he'll flip out at Shepard--even if she ditches him for someone else.  In fact it strikes me that he'd step aside for Alenko (He seems to assume Shepard would be happier with someone more... human--and who knows?  He might be right in the long run.).

Well, obviously the entire world is never going to agree on any one point, ever. I know personally that I would, as you say "date" an alien if they had one of the many engaging personalities that you encounter in ME2.  But I've had an experience or two where someone who I didn't find attractive at all changed dramatically in my eyes when I got to know them. I know that I'll be attracted to someone who connects with me on an emotional level, no matter what they look like or what sentient species they are, because finding someone who is that close to you on the mental level is not easy and it means everything. 

I find the turians attractive in general though, I found Wrex attractive because his personality was stellar and that's what drew me to him, and I know that anyone whose got a personality that grabs me is going to attractive me physically in turn because that's how I roll. 

No, Garrus wouldn't be right in the long run, but he is being cautious which I won't fault him for - however, there's no reason why a human person would be more happier with a human than with a sentient alien - not in my case.  And I let everyone live because I enjoy playing the game... Why anyone would skips missions is beyond me - they are the game. 

I'm not going to worry about whether or not Garrus coming back in a major role in ME3 at this point though. It's going to be a long wait, but I'm optimistic and it's not worth fretting over for 2 years. I'm fairly sure he will be coming back as a squadmate, along with several others. Could be wrong, but that's just my feeling, but whatever happens, happens. 

EDIT* As for Kaidan....well, he's dead. Garrus won that contest before it even started so he doesn't have to step aside for anyone.
