RedMundus Topic Creator 13 years ago 9 bump. SeraphSeraphim 13 years ago 10 Texture mods are even better, when taken to extremes. How to play without admin privileges? If I'm playing 2 characters, and one unlocks an achievement Side Quest. How do I exit the mako? The turian recounts the story of his team's deaths: one of his crew, Sidonis , requested his help on a job that turned out to be bogus. Garrus returned to his base only to find out that the rest of the team were massacred.
All but two of the squad were dead when he reached them, and they didn't last long afterward. Garrus learned that Sidonis cleared out his accounts and booked transport off Omega just before the attack.
Eventually he finds out that Sidonis was spotted on the Citadel, in the company of a professional forger named Fade. Garrus has every intention of enforcing the human maxim "an eye for an eye" in collecting the blood debt from Sidonis and requests Shepard's help if time permits. After interrogating Fade, who turns out to be the former C-Sec cop Harkin , Shepard has the choice to either let Garrus shoot Harkin in the kneecap or stop him.
If stopped from shooting Harkin, Garrus headbutts him instead. Shepard can choose to aid Garrus' assassination attempt on Sidonis or attempt to warn him, though either choice secures Garrus' loyalty. If Shepard stops Garrus from killing Sidonis, a news report made later on by Emily Wong will inform Shepard that Sidonis has turned himself in for the murder of 10 people, but C-Sec can't really take action against him since there is no government on Omega to extradite Sidonis to.
In , Garrus becomes a potential romance for a female Shepard. The option becomes available after completing Garrus' loyalty mission. Throughout the romance, Garrus' demeanor is somewhat awkward; nevertheless, if Shepard asks Garrus whether his behavior suggests that he is uncomfortable with the idea, Garrus says he is just nervous, and that Shepard never has to worry about making him uncomfortable. In these more vulnerable moments, Garrus admits he feels very alone in the galaxy, considering Shepard is the only friend he has left.
Garrus confesses he wants "something to go right" he mentions Sidonis and his work with C-Sec as times where he failed, implying his departure from C-Sec may not have been entirely his choice after which Shepard—who slowly approaches him while he talks—touches his face, stroking the scar he gained during his recruitment mission.
The two of them touch foreheads affectionately, followed by Garrus reaching up as though to touch Shepard's shoulder. When Mordin notices Shepard's attraction to Garrus, Shepard can ask him for advice regarding the turian, to which Mordin will warn Shepard about "chafing".
He advises her not to ingest turian tissue, as it is based on dextro-amino acids, and can cause an allergic reaction in Shepard's body. He then suggests that she return later for a painkiller and forwards information packets regarding turian physiology and positions comfortable for both species to Shepard's room.
She asks Shepard what she's fighting for, and if it's a chance to give Garrus peace. The Commander responds that Garrus has been hurt and betrayed and that she would like to offer him something better. Shepard also notes that she never expected to find happiness in the arms of a turian.
Liara remarks that it is by no means uncommon for a human to be attracted to an alien, given the widespread obsession with asari , and wishes them both happiness. Garrus returns to fight the Reapers, provided he survived Shepard's attack on the Collector base.
If Garrus did not survive the suicide mission , his name will appear on the memorial wall aboard the Normandy. After the suicide run on the Collector Base , Garrus realized what little time the galaxy had before the Reapers arrived. With the Council still unwilling to listen, Garrus went to his father, the last thing he thought he'd do, relaying all the events that had started from the Eden Prime War.
As unbelievable as his story was, his father, having been C-Sec, put all the pieces together and believed him. Though Primarch Fedorian was a friend of his father's, the former wasn't easy to convince.
Eventually, Garrus managed to gain his own "Reaper task force" as a token resource to improve turian defenses, which he hopes has bought Palaven a limited amount of time when the Reapers invaded. Shepard encounters Garrus on Menae , one of Palaven's moons, acting as a military consultant given his experience against Reaper forces. Shepard had arrived on Menae in search of Primarch Fedorian , but the turian leader has already been killed by the Reapers.
Garrus assists Shepard in seeking out the next primarch, General Adrien Victus , before rejoining the Normandy. He once again takes up residence in the Normandy's main battery. When not in the main battery calibrating the guns, Garrus can often be found on the port observation lounge after missions.
He spends time with Ensign Copeland, Javik , and Liara on occasions. Immediately after Palaven, the Normandy experiences technical problems due to EDI 's interface process with the synthetic recovered from Mars.
If Shepard heads to the main battery before going to investigate the AI core, they find Garrus on the intercom with Joker, who jokingly suggests that Garrus may have miscalibrated something.
Garrus quite seriously reminds him about his proficiency in that field, and Joker laughs and clarifies he was just checking. Upon Javik's revival and recruitment into the team, Garrus is amused at all the crazy things he has seen while with Shepard: a talking Reaper, a talking plant or geth , if he never experienced that , and now a real, live, talking Prothean.
Garrus reflects on how Javik must be feeling: a sense of loss and a desire for revenge. He jokingly speculates on what Javik might eat, unwilling to sacrifice himself for the team if Javik does indeed eat "boiled asari" or "fried turian". Garrus also quips that if the war is lost, Shepard can be frozen for 50, years, which will turn them from "merely famous" to "legendary.
When Shepard visits the Citadel after rescuing the Primarch from Palaven, they find Garrus at the refugee docks coordinating housing and supplies for the turian refugees. Garrus quietly reports that the turian frontline squads are getting slaughtered platoons at a time. If Shepard asks if the wounded can still fight, Garrus replies that ammunition is in short supply and weapons should be given only to those still capable of bearing them.
If Shepard suggests focus on caring for the wounded, Garrus isn't optimistic on their recovery. Some may get back on their feet, but sympathy is the only thing they can offer for the rest. Garrus also asks how Shepard is handling the war. Regardless of the Commander's reply, the turian advises Shepard to take a breather every now and then.
Once the evacuation of Grissom Academy is completed, and if Garrus is part of the shore party with Jack being present, aboard the Normandy he claims life wouldn't have been complete if he didn't see her one more time. Jack saw through Cerberus in and he might even have taken her seriously back then, but her tattoos gave him a headache every time he saw her.
Garrus has a few thoughts about the concluded mission if pressed. Going on a tangent related to children, he gets introspective on their lot and reactions about the war. Normally, kids grow up learning hardships here and there but overall finding the galaxy a decent place.
The Reaper invasion teaches them that there are things in the dark that want to destroy everyone they cared about. Garrus muses that at the end of the war, there will be a lot of angry orphans looking for answers. Garrus also wonders what the Illusive Man would do to his lieutenants for failing: if he simply fires them, or if he lines them up against a wall to be executed. Later, he also wishes there was a Grissom Academy for turians when he was growing up: Garrus always wanted to learn how to paint.
Painting walls with Reaper blood isn't exactly the same, he claims, but it's still a living. Garrus admires Eve for her tenacity and courage at having to endure the genophage after the retrieval mission on Sur'Kesh. He hopes that he and Shepard can measure up to her courage in the difficult times ahead. He also jokingly asks if the krogan-turian alliance can be sealed with his arranged marriage with Eve owing to female krogan's liking for scars.
He admits he has never seen a female krogan before and suggests that the females might be the real brains on Tuchanka. After ascertaining the fate of the Urdnot leader's missing krogan team on Utukku , Garrus is in the port observation lounge sharing his rachni experiences with Ensign Copeland. Garrus rebuffs Copeland's flattering compliments, saying most of the time he was trying to get out of a mess, only to land into another one.
If the mission to rescue Victus' stranded turian platoon was done before dealing with the genophage , Garrus shares a drink with Liara in one of the lounge's couches, reminiscing about his sojourn on Omega as Archangel. In response to Liara's amused question of whether or not he killed three Blue Suns mercenaries with one bullet, Garrus calmly states that the third guy had a heart attack and it wouldn't be fair to count him. He also tells Shepard that he is worried about the bomb on Tuchanka and says that he is surprised that he was kept in the dark about it.
After the bomb on Tuchanka has been disabled , Garrus is contacted over comms by the Urdnot leader if he is present aboard the Normandy at that time. If Wrex is present, he menaces Garrus if he knew anything about the bomb on Tuchanka. Garrus sincerely replies that he was in the dark as much as Wrex was. Wrex laughs and admits he was just trying to see Garrus squirm: the turian replies he's be more than happy to give the krogan lessons on relaxing provided he is given the chance.
Off the comm, he recommends to Shepard that Wrex be kept away from the intercom. If Wreav is present instead, Garrus persistently tries to shove the issue under the rug.
Present-day turians didn't plant the bomb anyway, and he advises the Urdnot leader to stop chasing old ghosts for the sake of the krogan-turian alliance. Off the comm, he confides to Shepard his dislike for Wreav. Garrus is also contacted by Javik who commends the turian decision years ago to implement a fail-safe plan on Tuchanka. Javik considers the turians apt for integration as a "subservient race" given their cunning and brutal efficiency.
Garrus takes offense at the compliment and coats his objections in sarcasm. Javik continues on, saying that the turians should have detonated the bomb outright or used it as leverage. When an annoyed Garrus asserts that peace was the objective back then, Javik defines peace as a static mode of existence which doesn't prosper change. Garrus smoothly cuts the comm, having had enough, but not before quipping that at least they all get to live another day.
Moments after the mission on Tuchanka to cure the genophage , Garrus advises Shepard to take some rest; they both know there's no room for mistakes in the war.
In the interim, he has taken up the job of coordinating several dry-dock ships from the Hierarchy for helping in the Crucible 's construction. Garrus can be found later in the cockpit trading jokes with Joker. When Shepard arrives, they reminisce at some length about Mordin if he was present during the mission. Garrus always thought he was a crazy but useful salarian : and still, he was part of the team. Walking away from Joker and conversing with Shepard further, Garrus asks Shepard how they feel at krogan praising their name for curing the genophage.
If Shepard only claims to have done it for the war effort, Garrus promises to make sure the turian fleets will be there for Earth when the time comes. Otherwise, Garrus shows some satisfaction at being able to pull off a krogan-turian alliance and a cure for the genophage. He hopes the krogan leader continues to uphold his end of the bargain, expressing dislike at the idea of ending another war if Wreav is the leader or joking about hiring a food taster for Wrex to ensure his survival if otherwise.
Garrus imagines the carnage if some other hotheaded krogan took over from Wrex. Despite the alliance, Garrus still has some reservations, doubting he could've gone with it if it wasn't Palaven that needed krogan help. He would've looked for an alternative, or considered the salarian deal if Shepard publicly divulged it earlier. If Shepard is sincere in curing the genophage or lies about doing so , Garrus admires the Commander's restraint.
If Shepard reveals the salarian deal just then, even Garrus finds the underhanded action distasteful. If Shepard expresses doubts on the krogan as well, Garrus affirms the assessment but opines the krogan better remember that Shepard didn't choose to let their race die. If Shepard did sabotage the cure and regardless of whether they confide to Garrus about it , Garrus detects some of Shepard's disquiet and repeatedly asks how they're doing. Ultimately, he concludes their salarian doctor would not have gone with Shepard's position.
After the foiled Cerberus coup , Garrus can be found staring at the memorial wall. When Shepard joins him, he reflects on the events of the day. If the Virmire survivor survived again, Garrus comments on the tense situation the Commander was placed in, asking the Commander if they could've pulled the trigger on a friend willingly. If the ex-Cerberus scientists have been rescued from Gellix , Garrus can be found loitering in the Mess Hall after the mission, competing with James Vega over who has done more amazing things.
Garrus mentions busting a batarian spy ring trying to assassinate a councilor, stopping Saren with Shepard or just helping to stop Saren from the sidelines depending on whether Shepard recruited him way back or not , and his time as Archangel on Omega. Things continue on a swaggering vein until they both settle for taking credit on recent major events that have transpired prior to their face-off. After the destruction of the Ardat-Yakshi Monastery on Lesuss , Garrus is once again in the lounge conversing with Javik and Ensign Copeland about wars past and present and the nature of its participants.
If Samara was present and survived the events on Lesuss, Garrus is glad to have such a relentless ally in the war.
