I think it would be beneficial for both species to some point. I bet there would be crowds who'd like it and crowds who wouldn't. After all I doubt Shepard is the first human that has fallen in love with a Turian. Maybe the first important human to fall in love with a Turian. I'd imagine idiots like Terra Firma and that reporter you can punch criticizing Shepard. As for those Turians, I'd imagine it would be Turians like the Turian councilor and such. Hopefully the positive impact is more noticeable. Like I said before maybe if you're a paragon and made all the good decisions then you won't have the media and the politicians complaining about everything.

My money's on the second one;), knowing...Turian Councilor.  

...Does anybody else find it weird that the Councilors don't have names?  When Anderson joined I expected him to like....lose his name a la the Krogan Shaman, considering we have no idea what the Councilors' names are and yet they're pretty important to the story.

"Ah yes, 'turian boyfriend'. Your imaginary relationship with Garrus. We have dismissed that claim."

Wait, you're saying Turian Councilor's first name isn't Turian? I just thought his parents lacked imagination

Wouldn't it have been weird if you walked in to talk to Anderson and he was only "Human Councilor"? LOL

"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL" "Yes, Shepard. human Councilor is now ready to speak with you."
"Uh, Anderson?"
"There is no Anderson here."
"Uh oh..."

I still don't mind Thane calling me Siha even though I've got no romantic interest in him whatsoever. He feels more like a favourite uncle to my Shepard, or some other such paternal figure. I'm not trying to weird out the Thane romancers..this is just how it plays out in my story.

@AnotherStupidAccount: Hawaiian shirts..YES. A million times yes. I can just picture a whole crapload of Turians lounging about in hawaiian shirts, cargo shorts and giant novelty sunglasses.

Nope, can't do it, closest I get is Harvey from Farscape.

Seriously, all I want in the world is for Turian Councillor to like me. I will cry tears of joy if I achieve this in ME3. Come to think of it, that would make a great Xbox achievement, lol.

EDIT: i don't know if such a thing as "xbox live achievement" exists. heh.

@ Gerse1



I couldn't resist taking that conversational option about the "Quib-Quib" while I was on the Migrant Fleet. My Shepard REALLY wanted to be able to ask for a tour of the mighty "Quib-Quib", but Bioware didn't oblige. :[ I'd love to see the Migrant Fleet show up as an ally in the final battle against the Reapers, and it turns out that the "Quib-Quib" is this humongous superdreadnought covered with weapons...and a bumper sticker reading, "Hi, my name is 'Quib-Quib'. Wanna make something of it?"



About reactions to a Garrus/Shepard romance. I always figured it'd go one of two ways. If Shepard is a paragon, then she'll have saved everyone, saved the galaxy, covered herself in glory. Why wouldn't people be willing to cut the galaxy's greatest hero some slack in the relationship department? And if she's this renegade nightmare who has slaughtered her way through the galaxy...who in their right mind would dare say ANYTHING about her romantic choices?

Ask him out for drinks.  Maybe send him dextro-amino based flowers.  Serenade him.  Maybe he'll come around.  Maybe he won't--but at least it will have been totally hilarious.

Maybe he does respect you at least. The Turians are becoming closer to humanity if the council was saved. Besides I guess this time their position towards Shepard was a bit justified. In ME1 I'd say that they were just a bunch of bickering politicians not wanting to see the truth. In ME2's it's different, Shepard was gone for 2 years and mysteriously brought back by an organization who has no ethical boundaries. They could have trusted Shepard a bit more though. However they are way better than the human council and their offer is pretty great compared to the other council.

If you take out the alien council in ME1 the humans take over. In ME2 they don't even have the decency to meet with the person that put them in power much less provide any help at all. IF Udina ís in charge you also get no offer. That just shows how incompetent humans are and I'd take the Turian councilor over those people any day.

You do hear a reference to 'Councilor Velarn' (Valern? Can't remember) on the news, but no clue as to which one of them it is. Sounds like the turian to me, though, kinda Latin.

I never did a runthrough with the council destroyed. always wondered what they did then... no offer AND no air quotes. Pfft, tough luck humies, I'm sticking with we-have-no-names alien Council!

You know, random thought: if everyone on this thread switched their icons to Garrus, I'd never be able to tell who was talking. It's kind of difficult as it is! Though I also ought to switch my Selika out for someone else. Maybe Julia Shepard.

Klencory is famously claimed by the eccentric Volus billionare Kuman Shol. He claims that a vision of a higher being told him to seek on Klencory the "lost crypts of beings of light." These entities were supposedly created at the dawn of time to protect organic life from synthetic "Machine Devils."

I wonder if Garrus would think me insane...

Always wondered about that myself, and why someone on Shep's team hasn't said "Hey. Let's go talk with this guy plx".

I think it might be Turian. Executor Pallin's name is Vernari, I doubt that's an Asari or Salarian name.

As to anyone surviving without loyalty... forget it I've yet to see a non-loyal make it out alive (if anyone has contrary experiences, do share)

I lost and could not regain Miranda's loyalty on one of my playthroughs - she survived, but I lost Legion to the seeker swarms at the end of the biotic specialist escort. Damnit, I loved that toaster. (Loved, not *mordincough*loved kthx.)

Honestly, yeah, I don't hate the Council as much as 99% of people on the forums seem to.  True, they could be more helpful, and even while witholding help they could be less dickish about it.  But I don't think it's so outrageous that they aren't jumping at the gate to throw all their resources and support behind Shepard just yet, for the reasons you mentioned.  Plus, one doesn't get to be part of the supreme political triumvirate of civilized galactic space by being radical or reckless.  They have a massive fleet to use judiciously and millions/billions of eyes watching them By nature those three have got to be some of the most shrewd and conservative (as in anti-risk) persons in the galaxy.  They wouldn't have risen so far otherwise.  Also, people entrenched in positions of power naturally resist accepting major change or the existence of external threats.  It's understandable in ME1 that they are reluctant to believe the Reaper story.  In ME2 you finally have some evidence, but other dubious facts surrounding Shep that you mentioned are also working against her.


On a completely unrelated note, mew mew, mew.

That'd be an awesome achivement, and all games for Xbox 360 must come with achievements or they are not launched for Xbox 360. (Which is why some of the achivements are lame-o, like "Achievement unlocked: You successfully hit the start button while playing this game".)

oh, I meant I originally wrote "that would be a great xbox live achievement" and then for some reason felt the need to edit it to just "xbox achievement."  because I don't think you get them for playing online.   ???  pointless technical edit that caused confusion

I recently finished the game and needed to scream err, voice, my love and adoration for the G-man.

Seriously, has there ever been a better developed video game character? I can't think of many even close to the same calibre. Or anyone that can make calibrating sound so sexy! Although my Shep officially romanced Kaidan in ME1, she was secretly pining for a certain turian rebel throughout. And she always kept him close to her heart, and in easy reach. So needless to say, she jumped ship pretty damn fast when he noticed her flexibility! LoL Kaidan didn't stand a chance. Ahhh, Garrus. :wub:How my Shep adores thee. <3

Because I have to share the sweet taste of victory....



edit:hope this one works...

I'm not so sure that the Council doesn't believe in the Reapers. Maybe it was all on purpose to keep Shepard from knowing what they are doing. They couldn't trust him/her with that info. What if Cerberus found out, did it and took all the credit or even worse they finally take out the Council. Maybe they just want to avoid mass panicking. The other day someone presented an interesting view point about the Turian Councilor. I think that was made by a fan though, if it wasn't then I'd be extremely happy if I found that lying around Anderson's office somewhere.

So watched The Dirty Dozen tonight, due to its suicide mission relationship to Mass Effect 2. It's been a long time since I saw it. It's a good movie, but while they were on the actual suicide mission, I couldn't help saying at random points "this mission needs more Garrus."



Which makes me wonder how many more missions I will watch in the future and think "needs more Garrus."
