I want to see Garrus getting wasted, he deserves to have a little fun in his sad depressing life that he has endured.

I mean damn it he even brought up wine to the captain's quarters, why didn't Shep and Garrus drink it? >=(

Drunk Garrus has the potential for hilarity, but I don't know. I'd rather have more scenes with Garrus being his smooth, witty self than one where his mind blurred (however hilariously) by booze.

Speaking
of comics, I'd really love to see BW/Dark Horse give each of the squad mates a one-shot comic at some point. Obviously I'd make grabbyhands at a Garrus title, but which squadmates for ME and ME2 would you want to
see most?  For me, I'd want to see Zaeed. I don't take him anywhere much, and I wish he actually conversed instead of reminisced at you, but he's really entertaining. (Conversely, I adore Legion but a one-shot comic with him seems like it'd be a little dull.)

Obviously I'd want the Garrus one (bonus points if it was about his time as Archangel!)... Tali too, which would hopefully it'd have some Kal'Reegar in it. I love that guy! I would say Ashley, but they'd have to do an Ash/Kaidan one, and it'd probably be boring as heck. Like, Ash joins a patrol and does some boring military stuff! Big whoop. Jack's might be fun, and I want to know how she got captured on the Purgatory.

EDIT: Seriously. WHY does it do the autoformatting? Why? What is the point of that?

I didn't get the impression that Garrus' team consisted of "whoever he could get." Granted, we didn't get in-depth profiles on all his team members, but from the way he described them it certainly sounded like they were all at least competent in their roles.

By "whoever he could get" i didn't mean to imply the people he worked with wasn't actually competent. Just to simply point out his options were much more limited and so pitting him against Shepard's "the galaxy all-stars" as if it was somehow a sign Garrus was "doing it wrong" by not being able to acquire team of the same calibre... was rather unfair, imo.

edit: nvm, that reply wasn't actually to my post. Time for some sleep

I support this. Drunken Garrus offers so many opportunities for hilarious hijinx. xD Hmm... I smell a fanfiction idea brewing up...

Eh.  Drunk people are only funny for me on rare occasions.  I'm not sure it'd be too flattering for Garrus.

For the most part they aren't that funny for me either, but Garrus seems like he might be rather amusing when mildly intoxicated - especially if Femshep is around or mentioned in some fashion.

Yeah, I find Jack much more interesting as I do replays, oddly enough. I mean, she was never a BAD character (BioWare rarely does that to us) but I find she grows on me and I'd like to know how that went down.

As for the autoformatting (and lack of a 'preview' option), I think it is because the BW forums were coded by heretic geth, and they hate organic life. Sorry, that's all I got.

Anyway, it's late here and tomorrow will be long. I look forward to catching up on the thread if Mr. Woo doesn't lock it down. (O yus I did.)

Agreed, but... which versions? The ones tied into all the Dr. Fate and Black Adam stuff? I see some similarities between Katar Hol and Garrus, oddly enough, though that may just be the 'cops from space' background.

Haha, omg, which Hawkman?  He has the worst clusterfudge of a backstory ever.  I like his current JSA incarnation wherein he was resurrected on Thanagar as good 'ol Carter Hall.  None of this space police/Katar Hol crap.  Mygawd, it makes my head hurt thinking about it.  And t@ Cedardryad - I take Hawkman's conservatism as more "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out", and less of an actual social/moral/political standpoint.  Er...yea...GARRUS! 

[Tootles FTW]

I could see the Normandy SR2 crew buttering Garrus up with free shots to get him to spill the beans on the Commander. And I kinda want to see it.

[cedardryad]

Joker: One more Garrus.
Garrus: No man, I'm set.
Zaeed: C'mon just one more. I thought Shepard was with a man not a **** cat.
Garrus: Fine. One more.

6 drinks later.

Garrus: So then I said, "Hey Shepard, you have a supportive waist." And she said, and she said...what did she say? Ah yes, "Reapers".
Joker: Somehow I doubt that was what she said.
Garrus: Yeah man, that's what she said!
Zaeed: So much for getting the juicy stuff.

Dropped in to give some support to my man Garrus Vakarian, but I have to say that I agree:  Hawkman has the most screwed-up origin ever.  I do like to see him and Green Arrow scream at each other, though.

That would be awesome. I could see Jack and Joker taking him to the mess area and maybe Jacob getting in on it, though he'd probably just stay close to make sure the other two didn't go too far... Mordin watching in on the 'experiment' from the corner. Garrus would probably hold back even as he got drunker and drunker, until Jack finally said "**** it!" and spiked his drink with vodka, after which he passes out.

It could be like those minigames where you interrogate people and it's 'give them a little more' 'oops! too far! start over'... XD

[cedardryad]

I believe Green Arrow is why Hawkman was made really conservative. Ollie is very liberal, some say Marxist. Green Arrow also has some bad writing when it comes to some of his past.

[Jakegnosis]

I always figured that if my (paragon, male) Shepard was going to go hit the town like he meant it, Joker and Jacob would be his partners in crime, with Garrus as the exasperated DD.

Oh, no doubt.  Some liberal writers use him as a mouthpiece for their politics, a lot of conservative writers use him as a liberal strawman for their politics.  He ends up seeming almost schizophrenic if you read long runs of Green Arrow in sequence.

lol! But this is the future; the cars drive themselves! I think Joker would be more likely for the role of designated driver, if he went with at all (he's a bit of a home body). He doesn't seem like a big drinker.

Speaking of, is it just me or did Joker really change in personality between games? In the first he had the name 'Joker' out of sarcasm because he was all serious during flight school and never smiled. Any time he joked, it seemed to be kind of sardonic and he was really bitter about his condition. But it seems like Seth Green rubbed off on him in the second, because he's a lot more jovial and lighthearted. I mean, obviously the situation has changed, he's just happy to be flying again, but with him being all irritated with EDI and having spent the last two years not flying, and presumably guilt-stricken over Shepard's death, you'd think he wouldn't be quite so upbeat all of a sudden.

HaHA! Ah, yes, Reapers!

I can see Zaeed as still trying to use this situation to poke fun at Shepard.

She'd enter his room, booking it for the trash compactor or surveillance equipment while trying to avoid story time from Zaeed. He'd then clear his throat and casually say something like "So, I hear you have a very supportive waist."


Edit: @Aris - I just thought of it as Bioware fleshing out Joker's character more...He still had a familiar snarkiness about him, to me.

Oh, I dunno.  I thought he was pretty jocular in the first one too, despite the origins of his nickname.  I really like him being stepped up as a bit of comic relief, though.  ME2 can get really grim, so having that break to talk with Joker and laugh (for me, actually laugh, unlike most videogames where "humorous" characters are just irritating) was a huge part of keeping me grounded in the narrative.  I actually consider him my Shepard's best buddy, even beyond Garrus (I know, sorry), because the conversations with Joker are framed as what Shepard himself does to calm down and laugh a little between missions, not just for the player.

Dude, that would be so perfect. My Shepard would probably just stare at him, then just walk out of the room in silence... and head for the battery.

@Jakegnosis: I'm not saying I didn't like his new attitude, some of Joker's lines in ME2 were my favorites. I just thought the switch was... strange. Like they forgot the whole point of his nickname.

Joker is a good friend to my FemShep, but I think she feels too responsible for him to be truly at ease with him. She's Colonist/Sole Survivor, so she's used to losing people and being over-protective, especially with her subordinates, and especially with Joker, given his disease. That's why her best bud (and LI) is Garrus, 'cause he can take care of himself! ... Well, most of the time.

Shepard is in her cabin.



EDI: Commander Shepard?

Shepard: Yes EDI?

EDI: Have you seen the video of the boys' night out?

Shep: What? No! I didn't know they taped it.

EDI: They didn't. I did. It's full of how do you call it? Win?

Alright, here we go. Miranda is looking after her replacement.


________________________________________________



Huh. I expected someone a bit taller. Needless to say I
haven’t been upset by what I’ve read about you. I haven’t been
impressed, either. You’re good at what you do, however, you’re not great, and
Cerberus doesn’t even want great. Cerberus wants the best.

 

Nothing but the best for Cerberus.

The best equipment…

The best funding…

 

And the best officers.

 

 

So. Don’t think you’re going to replace me easily. I’m here
to teach you to be me, so I can go be me somewhere else. I’m here so you can
become an officer, and so I can go serve under a real one.

 

Cerberus taught me to keep constant vigilance over project
members, and I can’t stress enough how important this is. As an intelligence
operative, your primary goal is to keep the Illusive Man updated. You’re going
to be doing this a lot if you’re working on what I think you are. Cerberus
always has the best, and that goes for surveillance too. Cerberus operatives,
soldiers, scientists, and even maintenance are kept under ‘round the clock watch.
It was my job to look for suspicious activity. Remember the Lazarus incident?
Your safety was compromised because I failed to do my job. I won’t let that
happen again. *You* won’t let that
happen again.

However, experience has taught that discretion must be used.
Employees are told that they’re kept under an eye at all times, so privacy will
be violated. You’re going to know things about fellow operatives that you wish
you didn’t. This is absolutely necessary, and must be dealt with a professional
mind. When you find your first traitor, you’ll realize why an organization as
ours, as *yours*, refuses privacy with extreme prejudice. Still, when you bump
into a Turian on his way to the commander’s private quarters, you can at least
mute the audio surveillance. What the Illusive Man watches is his business, and
he wants to watch everyone. But, like I said: discretion.

Yes, I deleted those vids. No, you can’t have them.

Now, I’ve got to keep this short. I may not belong to
Cerberus anymore, but I don’t want you messing up my position as operative. So,
I’ll be keeping an eye on you whether Cerberus wants me to or not. Don’t disappoint
me.

[Kim Shepard]

It took a long time to read all of those pages. xD



About Kelly... Shepard #7's opinion is the most amusing.

Shepard #7: There's a psychologist on the ship now? Really, Illusive Man? You want someone to spy on me? I will never understand why no one reads the files - the psych exams are all in there.



Also, the thought of the Illusive Man not being sober while talking to Shepard is hilarious. xD Shepard #13 has a huge crush on TIM, and if he starts giving orders when he's drunk, it'll be his fault when Shepard listening to him ends in critical mission failure.



I'm going to assume that TIM and/or Miranda found Shepard's vids and deleted them. o_o; That must be why they're never at her private terminal when she gets back to her room. Garrus wasn't the only one who didn't watch the vids, but my Shepard would have if it was possible.

[ThatDancingTurian]

Does anyone else wish they actually gave you Mordin's 'information packet' in your terminal as an easter egg, and when you click on it the view changes to a quick shot of Shepard doing various cute animations? Like when you first click it, it goes to a view of Shep going ":blink:" .. And then stuff like one where Shep looks nervously over each shoulder before hunching over to read, and one where Shep tilts his/her head all the way sideways as he/she looks at the screen, with a very confused look on his/her face... Just would've been a funny little add-on.

With Bioware's sense of humor I'm actually surprised it's not in the game.  Hehehe, I can imagine her opening up a text file that Mordin sent, and that little Windows paperclip pops up with a: "I see you're trying to have sex with a turian. Perhaps I can help!".

Also, where is my Shepard VI?!  I insist that it be installed into the main battery to nag at Garrus whenever he calibrates.

This is exactly what I would have wanted to see. xD I understand why they didn't want to show the vids to the player, but it would have been awesome to see Shepard's reaction.

Garrus: I'll do some research and, uh, figure out how this will work.
Shepard: Mordin sent the vids and info to my room. Let's go watch them!
Garrus: *is dragged into Shepard's room* o_o; *stares at the screen* What the--? O_O
Shepard: Wow, um... just, wait, what? 0___o;; *confused stare*
Garrus: *points* I kind of like that one.
Shepard: Yeah, definitely that one. *nods in agreement*
