Description I have to say that I'm not 100% satisfied with this page. But if I keep looking at it, I will never post it. And maybe my computer will break again and I'm not up to the task of fixing it again so soon, so if you spot something different in the last three panels, I'm still trying to set up Photoshop.
I hope you enjoy the page, I'll try to do a better job next time.
Re Garrus visor, I think that the holoscreen could turn off when he takes it off. Just an interpretation.

Thanks to for his beta-read!

i wish your story was an optional version of mass affect 2! i love this couple and wish garrus would be more involved in the whole story other than a squad mate most of the time or up to "calibrations"

I agree with you and I'd wish that was also true for all the LIs...

I really like how Shepard and Garrus discuss the potential recruits and the ones already on the ship. It shows very well how close their relationship is and how much Shepard trusts Garrus.

Thanks! I felt that having Miranda as you XO no matter what was a little... forced IMO. I think that a squaddie from Shepard's past could be more... adequate. Thus, I consider that Shepard could seek his advice on matters of team building.

Mordinette In reply to ErsbethShadowsong [2014-07-01 19:48:22 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. I didn't like Miranda very much in ME2. She was better in ME3, thankfully. So yeah, I never really considered her my XO and I never took her anywhere. Garrus, on the other hand, was almost always on my team.

ErsbethShadowsong In reply to Mordinette [2014-07-01 19:58:23 +0000 UTC]

Does she improve in ME3...? I'm afraid she was not in my story due to... mistakes during the Suicide Mission... I cannot think of a mission where I didn't take Garrus (except for the ones before his recruitment, of course). And except for Miranda's loyalty mission, I find hard to remember if I took here on any mission

Mordinette In reply to ErsbethShadowsong [2014-07-01 20:11:52 +0000 UTC]

LOL, poor Miranda. I guess she didn't make it out of the Collectors' Base, huh? Yes, I think she's a bit more human in ME3. She's not there very much, but she makes an appearance a few times and there's a mission involving her. Of course, we have to have her butt shoved in our faces again a couple of times... I think I only started to take a few other people on missions on my 4th or 5th playthrough of ME2, just to hear what other team members would say, but most of the time Garrus was on my team. But I never took Miranda or Jacob anywhere unless I had to (in the very beginning and on their loyalty missions).

ErsbethShadowsong In reply to Mordinette [2014-07-02 22:51:28 +0000 UTC]

Nope, she, Legion and a couple more from the crew did not make it... That's good to know, that she's more human in ME3, and of course, how could we forget her butt? It's one of her best assets (it's a joke Miranda's fans... well, who am I kidding, I'm no real fan of her, but I promise I won't be mean in the story!!)
I try to change the squad members depending on which Shepard I'm playing with... But leaving Garrus is tough!! I was playing a lot with Miranda with one of my female Shepards, but I lost the playthrough after I lost the info in my SO HD last October... And now I don't feel like replaying all the games with her... Maybe some day.
Oh, Jacob... what a waste! He seemed a cool character... until he boards the Normandy... what happened to him???

Mordinette In reply to ErsbethShadowsong [2014-07-03 15:50:25 +0000 UTC]

I totally agree about Jacob. I had the same feelings about him. He seemed to be nice until we boarded the Normandy - after that, he became a rude and aggressive jerk. He's not any better in ME3 either.

ErsbethShadowsong In reply to Mordinette [2014-07-04 14:43:58 +0000 UTC]

No, no he isn't. I first thought that his dialogue options were a result of not having romanced him in the second game. Then I discovered that he had really dumped Shepard, which is funny, as he is the only male LI who says he loves Shepard. 
What does this say about his character???

Mordinette In reply to ErsbethShadowsong [2014-07-11 15:35:01 +0000 UTC]

I've tried to find a vid at youtube, but truth be told, I don't have the stomach to watch more than 4 videos trying to find it. Geez--- Jacob lines ARE bad (or at least, they are bad IMHO). I read it here masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Jaco… and I believed it... Maybe I should?

Mordinette In reply to ErsbethShadowsong [2014-07-11 18:45:53 +0000 UTC]

LOL, I know exactly what you mean! Those videos are pretty painful to watch. : D

Thanks for the link. If he does say he loves her, that definitely makes things in ME3 even in worse.

ErsbethShadowsong In reply to Mordinette [2014-07-11 19:44:47 +0000 UTC]

... and boooooring!! Those vids are boooooooooooooooooring. 

No problem! And indeed, it is even worse!! "I love you but I cannot wait you for... 6 months?" At least Garrus, who clearly says he's not sure about his relationship with Shepard seems to have waited for her.

Mordinette In reply to ErsbethShadowsong [2014-07-11 20:09:14 +0000 UTC]

As far as I know, all the other love interests from ME2 waited for Shepard... But yeah, Garrus is infinitely better than Jacob.

ErsbethShadowsong In reply to Mordinette [2014-07-11 20:50:51 +0000 UTC]

I was not really sure about the others, as I've not dig a lot into them... I know about Thane and Garrus being faithful (or at least, they don't mention anything as Jacob does). I supposed Tali and Liara had also been faithful, but as I've never let Ashley survive Virmire (well, once, but I lost that save before I reached Horizon) and Miranda doesn't survive the SM...
Now Jacob is very low in my ME character's ranking. Even lower than Kai Leng!!
