LOL kraidy, you so goofy
Garrus not knowing what sex is? More like Shepard not knowing what sex was until she met Garrus.

LOL ya me and a miri fan where joking around with human terms that Garrus would not understand, expect for sex. Kangaroos always makes me laugh.

Garrus: Miranda, what are Kangaroos?
Miri: They are from my homeland

Wiki says...

Turians are willing to do what needs to be done, and they always follow
through. They are not easily spurred to violence, but when conflict is
inevitable, they only understand a concept of "total war." They do not
believe in skirmishes or small-scale battles; they use massive fleets
and numbers to defeat an adversary so completely that they remove any
threat of having to fight the same opponent more than once. They do not
exterminate their enemy, but so completely devastate their military that
the enemy has no choice but to become a colony of the turians. It is
theorized that another conflict between the rapidly advancing humans and
the turians could annihilate a large portion of known space.

Let's hope that last part never happens. Although I wonder what it would take for the turians and humans to get into a war again.

At this point....terrorists. Almost like a tom clancy novel. Imagine two terrorist groups who are working in a joint unit. One of them nukes or attacks innocent turian civillians and frames it on humans, while the other nukes or attacks and kills countless innocent human civillians and frames the turians. Bam, you got yourself a full-scale war.

But luckily we have kick ass shepard and his/her favorite turian ally in the whole damn galaxy.

I might have to agree with that.  And I've been on a pantload of them.

LOL, was just in the Tali thread and someone posted 2 pics of a screenshot of Shepard crouched down and staring at Tali's butt from 5 feet away while she was working at a panel or something. Can we please, please make anything like this for Garrus? XD

Don't know if you read this, but i remember either reading this or hearing it in mass effect.

A turian said "It was all a misunderstanding, it was like taking a gun away from a child"

A human said "When you take a gun away from a child, your not supposed to shoot him!"

I know which conversation you're talking about.  It happens if you have Garrus in your party when you go talk to Charles Saracino (Terra Firma) toward the end of ME.  IIRC the paragon options during that conversation has Garrus telling Saracino First Contact was a misunderstanding, but I could be wrong.  It's been a while since I've played through that part.

I don't remember that scene. xD When was this? Will Garrus have to slap my MaleShep and tell him to focus on the mission?

I never got Garrus to talk to Saracino... Wrex always talked to him in my past playthroughs. Although, I should be trying to get Tali to talk to him this time.

Haha...I think it was just when she was working at her little control panel, in-game.  In ME1 you could crouch.  Hence, we get these amusing images:

:lol:

What we need is someone with a PC to go talk to Garrus while working on the Mako and then crouch when he's at HIS control panel, but standing.  Garrus butt FTW!

When I got Garrus to talk to Saracino, Liara was the third party member. I think she had something to say too, but I can't remember.

[silentstephi]

I'm starting to think this Terra Firma guy and party don't exist in my PTs. I've NEVER come across him... in all of my playing of ME1, which is like... up in the hundreds of hours by now. Never, ever EVER seen this guy.

Where is he? When is he? Oo Is he a paragon only set up?

And then there's Garrus. Always
liked him, but when it came to he and femShep flirting in ME2, something
fell into place and I got warm, fuzzy feelings about how the two of
them probably belonged together and how two people in their position
would have a high likelihood of falling in love. And that voice just
makes my toes curl. It's like being rocked in a cradle of velvet.
There's also a quirky thing about the way he moves- a tilt and shake of
the head, a sidelong glance or very Garrus-like expression that is all
him. THIS, my brothers and sisters, is what makes it seem impossible to
be 'faithful to Kaidan'. Don't get me wrong. I like Kaidan a lot.
He's a very handsome dude. But when I see Garrus, it's like running
into your old flame at Wal-mart. You're in biiiig trouble.

This is well-put and what wonderful trouble to be in! I liked Garrus in ME, was disappointed by the conversation flatlining yet still visited him often. I was spoiled on the Archangel reveal but the surprise of the Garrus romance made up for that... here I am in the battery, trying various conversation responses and wow, it all just fell into place, even after feeling heartbroken over Kaidan on Horizon. When I saw the clip of Kaidan pre-Horizon-landing, I was all excited to see him again and then <ouch>. I romanced Kaidan twice (interestingly, the second time was post-Garrus ME2 and knowing that Kaidan was going to be a jerk on Horizon, I was less concerned with how I talked to him so got new dialogue about Rahna since I stopped being polite). Which leads me to---

@ Kim
Shepard: I like your take on it in terms of gratitude, although I
personally couldn't approach it from that angle. I don't feel *that*
grateful. I might try that as a Shepard who is a break from one who
essentially does it as I would.

I think my Shepards are
all a little eccentric. xD MainShep likes Saren, saved the Council only
because she likes turians, and thinks giant human Reaper-making machines
are good presents (TIM would agree). When the MaleShep I'm playing in
ME1 now reaches ME2, he's going to be the total opposite. He's a Sole
Survivor, and he's so paranoid of Cerberus that he purposely gets
Miranda and the crew killed off, then he blows up the base. He's also
going to choose the "concentrate on Sovereign" option at the end of ME1 -
mostly because he doesn't want to risk losing the battle, but partly
because the Council annoyed him. I actually don't have any Shepards
based on myself, but MainShep has the same taste in characters.

I like the differentiation of your Shepards. So far, I have played with the same Shepard with choice variants for romance with Liara and Thane, yet her main incarnation is with Kaidan then Garrus, although intended to be faithful to Kaidan, which hasn't happened due to the reasons described beautifully by RPGmom. I have a few embryonic Shepards yet never got engaged by them. I think that is because I play as me, and Chani is me essentially. The PTs where I do different things with the base or the Council or the romances are like alternate universes.

Garrus made me break from my personal Shepard canon by not being faithful to Kaidan (although his deserving of such is questionable). As I said above to RPGmom, I treated Kaidan differently when replaying ME1, knowing what he would do, and learned more about him as a result. I like the idea of trying to actually play as a different Shepard, not as a variant or alternate Chani, but a distinct Shepard. I do not know if I could do it.

Thinking about Garrus and Shepard decisions: The depth of Shepard's feelings for Garrus are not a rebound from Kaidan
thing, because he was and has always been there for her. At first, I thought it might be a rebound but I do not feel that it is, because he got Chani's/my attention even after specifically looking forward to seeing Kaidan again and feeling hurt by him on Horizon. Chani's personality (mine) is not to give up on or dismiss anyone; Garrus and she have done that for each other so well and so completely throughout their time together, and that is exactly what she and Garrus both need after the losses they have endured. Kaidan's not being able to meet her in that way while Garrus can both give and receive that, is the dealbreaker.

Long live the ME1 soundfiles :innocent:

Garrus (and Kaidan and Tali too): What happened at the Mass Relay was a misunderstanding. If you saw a child about to touch a gun, wouldn't you stop them?
Saracino: I'd pull them away yes. I wouldn't shoot them dead.

I don't remember that, either.  Granted, I've only completed ME1 3 times and my memory is beyond suck.

He's in the wards, on the same level as the med bay. Almost in the same spot as where you encounter Emily Wong for the first time.

He shows up at the Citadel right before Ilos.  He's down in the Wards main area.  He'll show up regardless of your alignment.

Hrm, ok Still, I wonder why I've never seen that guy... I know I've had to be in the wards a bunch of times... /boggled

So he only shows up right before Ilos? I guess I never went at the right time...Thanks for the heads-up!

For some reason, I had an awful time finding the groundskeeper in ME2 (Cerrydd's dance partner), and in that game the explorable part of the Citadel was much smaller, so don't feel bad.

No problem

I have a bad habit when playing RPGs of not going directly to quest locations immediately.   I like to wander around a lot.  My husband hates to watch me play XD.

There's something to be said for the fun aspect of that (like in Morrowind--hey, there's a Blight on Red Mountain threatening all of Vvardenfell and the undead roam the land while Dagoth Ur plots his hideous plan--but I really need to get this guy's pants back for him right now, so all that can wait, LOL).  However, I see how it does wreck the immersion factor.

Yeah, he's there during the lockdown, when you're heading over to talk to Anderson. He'll be standing in the big open space where you can look out on the Citadel in the Wards, right opposite the stairs to Flux. And you'll have another assignment you can trigger right outside Flux (the drug addict guy trying to close a deal).

Hahaha!  Yes, that's me.   My curiosity is bigger than my need for immersion sometimes.   I like how ME2 put a twist to that though with the collector abduction.  Fortunately I did all my exploring before I went for the IFF.
