MASS EFFECT TWO: GIVE GARRUS A HUG - Page 83

Aerozord · 02-28-2010, 11:58 PM

I think what I really like about Tali is approaching her for a relationship feels more deep and realistic. Like she's concerned about complications of them being different species, long term effects, and like Garrus she was in the last game so there is, ya'know good reason for an actual relationship to form. The recurring characters are people you have spent alot of time with, gotten to know, and developed strong bond with before.

Not sure I'd ever be gay for Garrus though, simply because I prefer thinking of him as my best bud and that seems like the relationship they have. Your wing man, the guy you joke about old times flying around and punching out mecha-cthuhlu.

I'm in agreement with DFM's post. Plus it would make it so like the entire team is ready to sex up any Shepard you make in ME1, and that's one of those 'suspension of disbelief' breakers for me.

I don't mind offering relationship potential in wRPGs - that's pretty much the BnB of them - but I like the limited number of relationships offered in both MEs. Makes it feel more like you have people that mean a lot to you, rather than like the entire known galaxy wants to grope Shepard's Carnifex Hand Cannon/heat clip slot.

The word you're looking for is "Bromance."

It doesn't help that Kaiden's behaviour in ME2 practically screams "the lover scorned."

Was that his behaviour? I couldn't tell, I was too busy not having him on my team.

Yeah, I never invested much time in Kaiden. It wasn't that I didn't like him. I really liked Carth and was happy to have him on my team again. But I needed people on my team who could take some abuse, he wasn't one. In ME1 I ran around mostly with Wrex and Garrus. The two could take a beating and give back a harder one. I like running around with Grunt and Garrus too!

Except Garrus likes to eat live rockets now.
You'd think he'd have learned to lay low after half his face got blown off by a minigun in his recruitment mission.

Things like to shoot at Grunt more, he just takes it like a Krogan. Besides, I usually have him stand back and snipe.

I swear to god he has always eaten rockets. If everything on the field isn't shooting at me and ignoring my team, it means I brought Garrus with me.

He's a bullet magnet. My main strategy in ME1 was just giving Garrus the best armour I could find and having him stand at the front. Me and Kaiden/Wrex would stand a bit behind him and be completely ignored by everyone.

Was on my second playthrough and, grunt died (knocked out whatever) and I was deeply confused. I didn't know that was even possible
