@Honigkuchenpferd87 thanks !
@Xalena - Somehow, I missed it the 2 or three times I scrolled through this page, but...what a cute piece! I like that it looks kind of like stained glass. Is that 'G' on his collar? And "d'awww!" at the bird!

Thanks! Haha you know what you just gave me great idea x)! About this stained glass )) I even didn't think it looks like it ...weird, but I see now it really does. I drawn it in this way how to say unconsciously lol maybe. I could grab some real bottle/glass now and try do this on it haha that would be awsome. I think I still have tools to make stained glass which I bought in Venezia years ago when I was there but never used it ... I dunno if I would  suceed not very calm hand and nerves xD and uh...
And yes that is "G"...and strange "V" on his chest ;D and bird falling in love with our sexy turian :3... to be honest first it was supouse to be Shepard next to him..but I am terrible in drawing humans )) and well here is enough femsheps and garrus artworks...so I said...hell let it to be birds for once (since Garrus has abit "birdish" look) xD and I like birds...

*snort* Nice.

And on a strange note before I go to bed (OP update after morning class)... for the 360 players who have a LIVE profile... is the 'The Archangel' achievement not showing up on your Xbox.com ME2 achievement list? I got his before Mordin's and I see nothing at all.

Strange.

No, mine showed up, I've always gotten Garrus first, Aria tells you he doesn't have much time after all.

It depends on which play through, the ones where I romance Garrus, I actually saved him for first and last. As last because it was to see if Jack or Grunt had anything to say on his mission, and as first because it's GARRUS and I wanted him for Mordin's quest ^.^

[Sialater]

I don't think I'll ever save him for last. I want Tali earlier, too.

I got Garrus 2nd on my first playthrough and got the achievement as soon as the mission was over. Maybe just a weird glitch? Anyway I think this time around I might wait on him and get Tali first because she actually has something to say. Old times, indeed. ==

Also,l on the suicide mission I kept Garrus with me, but this next time through I intend to send him with the first fire team at least so he can kick some ass. Definitely want him with me for the end fight, and final cutscenes, though.

For now, though, my XBox is throwing 2 red lights at me and I cannot play until I have sufficient monies to get it fixed! Pity me, and expect to see me on here more to get my Garrus fix!

I don't think you can get Tali before Garrus without a mod. 

And oh, no!  You're two lights away from the RROD!

I think with the Zaeed DLC you can. The Collector ship mission was triggered for me before I got Grunt, because the game is set up to trigger that mission when you have a certain number of people. And when you add one extra, it 'fools' the game into triggering it. So I'll just get Grunt instead of Garrus, and voila!

Yeah, it sucks! This isn't even the first time we've sent it in for this, but long enough ago that the stupid warranty expired. > So no Mass Effect for me. Actually, it's a 2 three year old console, so the thought occurs to just buy a new one....the newer gens have to be less prone to breaking down, right?

Ours died RIGHT BEFORE the replacement policy expired.  Twice.  We lucked out.

I lost all 7 of my Sheps though.    I had enough to have one for each LI, dammit.  Now I'm down to two.

Hmmm. Off topic (sort of) and going back to turian physiology:

In ME1 the codex mentioned not that turians were avian-like, but that they were avians. Okay, so they aren't precisely birds, but assuming that they evolved from a flying creature that then became flightless again (sort of like an ostrich but obviously brainier), the huge carapace could have been an anchor for wing muscle. The concept art also shows a bit of a keel protruding. Ordinarily in a flying creature you wouldn't notice the keel on the breastbone, because it's hidden by skin and, of course, muscle.

This leads me to believe that you would not want to be punched by a turian. If they even have vestigial flight muscles lending some strength to their arms, then a physically fit turian would be about as imposing as a krogan.

If turians never were really avians (as in they never really achieved flight), then I'm not precisely sure what function the carapace would serve except as extra shielding against radiation--and perhaps attack by larger predators (I think we can all agree that it's unlikely that turians are vegetarians). If they never were flying creatures, then any assumption that they have hollow bone structures would likely be wrong. However, even if they did originally evolve to fly (and then become earthbound again), hollow bones aren't as weak as you may think. Turian physiology includes quite a bit of metal, and real-world birds' bones are supported internally by series of struts. Now make those struts metal. Yeah--not really as breakable as you'd assume.

Anyway, that's my theory on the big back plate/carapace that turians have. Either that or it's there to make them look like giant beetles. 'Cause let's face it, the mandibles do not help.

Interesting theory.  Perhaps, the plates on their mandibles developed in the later stages of the turian evolution, along with the armor-like plates on their bodies, to protect them from radiation.  I actually see turians closer to older species called dromaeosauridae.  These were agile predators and believed to be pack animals.  Turians are known for their military.  I would assume that they evolved from a highly-tactical, swift and agile pedatory species.

I do believe that our darling Garrus is definitely lethal in hand to hand combat... specially fighting bare.  Imagine those claws... and his reach... yes...  his reach... 

On a side note, I found turians fascinating in general.  My husband told me that maybe it was because turians look like a collage of all our pets.   Oh yeah, for the first time in my life, I named my dogs after game characters --- Ihilus (short for Nihilus) and Garrus.

Holy crap, I must try this!

Hey, people: If I take loyal Garrus and unloyal Miranda with me to flight the human Reaper, is there any risk of Garrus dying? I've heard Miranda is almost unkillable by how the suicide mission got designed.



I don't hate Miranda or anything, quite the opossite, but in this playthrough I want to lose somebody in the end (her and Jack). I will bring both with me and a weak biotic for the barrier. The survivor gets to fight the reaper with me. If there is any risk of Miranda surviving even THAT, I won't bring Garrus, but I would like to fight with him this time around.

[Sialater]

Uh... I'm pretty sure Garrus is the one that dies in that instance. Miranda is plot sensitive.

Really????



I mean... Seriously? How can I kill Miranda then? She can't go in the vents, she can't be taken by the swarm, she's got a high score in the holding the line scene... I thought that she could die if unloyal after the last battle...



Well... I like Miranda, but I just wanted some drama for this Shepard...

[Sialater]

I think she just ends up being the last one to go, no matter what.

[Sialater]

I have no intention of allowing any of them to die, however. I lost Legion once because I chose Tali as a team leader because I wanted Garrus with me. I knew I'd screwed up when Miranda objected so strongly. (She strangely doesn't object to Garrus, but she snarks at Jacob.) I reloaded at the first opportunity and got everyone out.



Loosing that bloody robot was too much.

Yes.  I'll only ever let anyone die out of curiosity, and there will promptly be reloading afterwards.  The thing is, since I got everyone out alive the very first time, that feels like absolute 100% unchangeable canon for me. 

(Although I shudder to think how close I was...I took Grunt and Mordin with me to the final battle and I was this close to leaving Mordin and taking Garrus with me instead, rationalizing that I wanted my best hitters with me so I wouldn't have trouble with the boss.  I likely would've lost Mordin if I'd changed my mind, thus permanently scarring me for life. )

[Nissun]

So it's impossible to kill Miranda in the final fight? No matter who I bring with me, they'll die first, even if they are loyal?



That can't be right. Please, somebody tell me it isn't like that!

[Sialater]

Mordin is teh awesome. No one else can call Kirrahe a cloaca.

I think plot sensitivity trumps loyalty.

[Ms Cherissa]

I've seen vids on youtube where Miranda dies. /shrug

[Sialater]

She can die, I just think she's supposed to be the last one before Shepard dies.

I don't think Garrus dies, only Miranda will. I had the same problem (unloyal Miranda) and when I brought her with on the last part, the pillar-thing killed her, yet my other squadmate (I think Mordin) survived.

Honestly, you can save her by recruiting Zaeed and making him loyal. Send Mordin with the survivors and take the two weakest characters with you to the final battle (Tali for sure and possibly Jack). Leave everybody else behind and they will all survive, including Miranda. Of course this relies on everybody else being loyal except for her.

Oh, but make sure you have everybody's upgrades.

[onibontan]

Miranda can get eaten by the bugs, I remember seeing it on youtube ...

[aznsoisauce]

The easiest way to kill her is probably by making her the second team leader the second time around.

Nothing Garrus-related to see here, folks!
