Garrus and Javik Discuss War

[@redpolscorp]

Garrus is right. Alway respect your enemy for his capabilities.

[@ultimatepredatorx2937]

like hitler. yea he was a horrible person, hope he rotts in hell. but his capavility to controlled and sway and entire country and drag the the world into war. it shows how one man and a few words can change everything.

[@TheFleeingPhoenix]

[@videocritic2463]

[@ziggymcdougal]

Garrus in ME1: A badass with a stick up his ass Garrus in ME2: A badass without temper control and can't seem to calibrate a gun in a timely manner Garrus in ME3: A battlehardened badass with sage advice and some of the wittiest lines in history and still takes forever to callibrate shit

[@brickusesfly8876]

Ziggy McDougal but calibrates better than over 1000 computer programms working together to solve this single problem of too little accuracy (legion's dialogue).

[@mortache]

Wasnt there a dialogue between Garrus and EDI or Legion about calibrating Normandy's gun in ME3?

[@JohnMink]

I believe Joker had a line about "It's great that Garrus no longer has a stick up his ass but not he's trying to beat everyone to death with it."

[@danielmoreno2969]

Don´t forget a baddas without temper that beats people with the stick .

[@Xgendude14]

Considering the results that the Thanix cannon did to the Collector ship in ME2, it was well worth all those calibrations

[@Jinggley]

You know? I never realized how similar Garrus and Javik are too recently. In a way they're kind of inverse versions of each other. Javik is Renegon (mostly Renegade with streaks of a Paragon; not evil, just very results oriented) while Garrus is Paragade (mostly Paragon with streaks of a Renegade; doesn't ignore the results, occasionally accepts the collateral).

[@TheOrangex88]

Of course Garrus would know more about war than a marine I mean come on he's the goddamn Space Batman!

[@operationstratos1013]

***** maybe still just a recruit.

[@infoluminux]

+Jonathan K I don't think a recruit it's just hanging out on the normandy, the best spaceship on the human alliance. As far as I know, every marine on the normandy has a N7 certification, which makes them badass, but they pale comparing to a master like Garrus or Javik.

[@TheOrangex88]

Francisco Arcos i don't think hes a N7, because when the game starts there were marines and other tech guys and gals who were in the normandy before the Reapers started attacking Earth in othe rwords i believe they were just in the right place at the wrong time or the right time depending on how you view it

[@infoluminux]

TheOrangex88 Yeah you're correct. Also I've reminded Captain Anderson said that even teenage people that survived the first wave were fighting alongside the alliance and military man.

[@TheOrangex88]

Francisco Arcos yeah but i do also remember him saying "some of them have never even held a gun before" so i guess it goes both ways

[@deathpyre42]

Didn't the reapers have trouble counqering the vorcha because their homeworld was too inhospitable.

[@kartikayysola]

It was more due to the fact that vorcha can adapt to anything. Cut off water supplies, they adapt to take moisture from their food. Also, vorcha only submit when personally bested in single combat. Assuming I remember the Codex correctly, of course.

[@theepicduck6922]

+Kartik Ayysola Didn't the reapers have to take over the vorcha from around the Vorcha planet's gracity orbit because they melted the reapers armor with their spitting acid?

[@FalconWindblader]

Vorcha is hardly smart enough to worth harvesting in the first place. kill all other smarter races out there & watch the vorcha shrivel in the decades to come.

[@1classikai]

Yep the Reapers only want to destroy races that become a "threat." That's why they left the yahg alone

[@Seriona1]

Vorcha are excellent warriors when it comes down to it but their nature makes them Beta males which is why they are willing to take orders so willingly from others.

[@drowningmouse]

Brutes are a krogan/turian hybrid... Interesting how the reapers thought of the differences in biology before merging when you read about them in your codex.

[@EgosumParduas]

I think I'd like to see a ME take place in those times of conflict, like 1000 years ago. But then humans wouldn't be relevant. Though playing as a Turian doesn't sound all that bad.

[@Stingra87]

Indeed. Instead of Andromeda I wouldn't have minded a game set in during the First Contact War or the Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions...There was more than enough galactic history to explore without going to a whole new galaxy.

[@Escap1st7]

Playing as a Turian, Salarian, or Krogan or even an Asari would be a dream come true.

[@henriqueribeiro8167]

@@Stingra87 Man, you could do a Rachni wars and a Krogan rebellion RTS 4x space opera for example. The first contact war sounds perfect for a straight up shooter. Some you could even do air battle games, like with the Batarian funded pirate war "Skyllian Blitz" and much more! They were lazy, greedy and cowardly. Such a rich setting, they tried to pull a fifa or something. This is not the crowd for it.

Even by their 3rd game, Bioware still knew how to create fresh fantastic characters, even ones that were slipped in the middle as DLC. Call me selfish, but a sequel to Mass Effect 3 isn't something we just want. It really is something we need. One more game, not to end Shepard's story... But to send it off. The right way this time

501st Special Operations The reapers dont wage war, they exterminate you. The only war they ever fought was in this cycle, because nobody else ever stood a chance.

[@gdsm93]

That guys an idiot, her faith should have nothing to do with picking Ashley or Kaidan. One of the main reasons I did choose Kaidan over Ashley though is because of her racism/negative view towards other species - not that I blame her, given the circumstances. ..But given what Shepard had to do throughout all three games, it requires a certain level of trust that I think she lacks. And as a Spectre in ME3..like a less-extreme Saren. Plus, Kaidan was not only a superior officer but also a Biotic.

[@tylerdunn9683]

Ashley wasn't racist you idiot 🙄 She didn't trust them. Then again you like most people who play mass effect can't even comprehend much less understand the dog and bear metaphor she used to describe the Citadel Council and humanity and funny how she was proven right

[@MegaRazorback]

The main part of Ashley's heavy distrust towards the alien races in the ME universe stems from one thing that happened to her family, her grandfather was General Williams who surrendered at Shanxi and as a result the superiors from then on had what was basically a vendetta against her family, keeping anyone from her family from rising in rank past what Ashley has achieved (and never giving a proper reason as to WHY the members of her family after Shanxi were given subpar postings or passed for promotion even though what they did meant that they should have been promoted) and her postings meant that she never really interacted with the ME races outside of humans either so that didn't help.

[@Cptigris125]

[@outlaw0987654321]

"i hope you guys had alcohol" lol garrus is hands down one of the best non main character in all of gaming

[@Cybernet1x]

A drell husk would probably be something like a phantom, an elcor would be like a mini brute, and the hanar would probably end up as floating biotic weapon platforms or something. I'd love to see what would happen to the yahg if the reapers had their way and continued the cycles

[@Lightscribe225]

@cigansky It also mentions in the codex the process of making the reaper out of a race. The husks just identify suitable candidates from those captured by 'tasting' them. The ones that qualify are sent to be slaughtered, and the ones that aren't are put to work to build slaughterhouses. They do this all while hunting down survivors and fighting back resistance movements across the planet.

[@dEsSiCaTa]

I can only imagine want the reapers are doing to the drell, or the hanar, or the vorcha. This could get a lot more DLC before it gets cheaper...

[@edgarb.6187]

Thanks I was looking for a video where Javik talk about other races in his cycle. I tried putting "Javik talks about other races" with no success.

[@user-ps4mw5om4j]

Always wondered why the mass effect generals never used the scorched earth tactic. If a city is about to fall, just nuke it. Everyone is going to die anyways and if the nukes go off, reaper=dead and no husks

[@user-ps4mw5om4j]

Akil E. Works well for the Russians tho

[@Wave_Boi]

F.u.c.k Allah What makes you think a nuke would work on a Reaper...? An Everest Class Dreadnought would have to take several shots on a Reaper Capital Ship for it to go down, and it has a main gun that is as strong as 2.5 Hiroshimas.

[@VaregianEisselor]

I would just add to what the others said that the first thing the Reapers did upon reaching Earth was take out all the nuclear silos. It is mentioned somewhere in ME3.

@TheJboy88 And actually Liara says in an in-game dialogue that the conquest of the Protheans lasted centuries, she also implies that the Prothean Empire was more vast than the Council is during the current cycle. I wouldn't mind for the next ME game to be a prequel where you play during the rise and fall of the Prothean Empire

[@Chronicron]

Garrus really became a down-to-earth Sun Tzu by the time of Mass Effect 3.

[@denxos]

It is implied that the statues on Ilos are from a race from a previous cycle, before the Protheans. Javik even says that many of the cities on Ilos were found by the Protheans, not constructed by them.

[@NotMarkSJ]

Over the top? The most Ashley ever said about her faith was that she believed in God. And she was absolutely right about the Council, too. When the chips were down, they were happy to throw humanity to the wolves until Shepard came and saved them. Again.

[@dapple33]

oooooooo! Great idea! We should definitely tell Bioware to make a reaperized version of every race and then make it DLC. They also need a massive land battle map(s).

[@ThePersmo]

@TheJboy88 I think the prothean VI on Ilos in ME1 (Vigil) talks about that. If i remember correctly he says it took several centuries before the Reapers finally left the galaxy and went back to dark space. They did something to the mass relays so that the protheans counldn't use them and then took their time to go from starsystem to starsystem. It's not like they're in a hurry and as UroborosFriends said the cleanup process probably took some time. :P

[@prointernetuser]

LOL hanar husks swarming you with tech-infused tentacles. The thought is hilarious!

[@NecojiProductions]

I guess that makes sense. Same reason Batarian and Turian husks were developed with ranged attacks then, just to get a diverse and varied army capable of handing every threat :P

[@Igarappappa]

Not to mention the Prothean Empire (and all the races composing it) were a LOT larger than the Citadel races of this cycle.

[@PissingPeopleOff1]

Actually, all the elcor use are really big weapons. It says with a certain War Asset, that its not uncommon to see elcor troops walking around with chain guns, rocket launchers and other heavy weapons like their weightless. They use Vis or eye-movement trackers for targeting, and have other elcor and machines put them on.

[@Choolbeans]

keepers are already a converted race with the sole purpose of maintaining the citadel, also cannibals are converted batarians with humans as their gun arms. (source: art book that came with the N7 edition)

"Not right now. I'm in the middle of some calibrations."

[@TheDjbz]

I've seen Vorcha. Talk to Aria on the Citadel and do what she asks and you'll see 3 of them

[@Epzo1]

@TheJboy88 Yeah, they didn't need to strike like they did in this cycle. Because the last time they started off with control of the Citadel and cut all the Planets off from each other and destroyed them one by one. now they have too attack multiple planets and systems at once, it causes confusion and chaos but it also spreads their forces thinner then they are used too.

with Javik talking about all those other races 50,000 years ago. Kinda makes want Bioware to pull a Halo: Reach where you play as a Prothean right before the Reapers arrived to end their cycle. That would be awesome.

[@TheJboy88]

The last Reaper conquest of the galaxy lasted a hundfred years? It was always my belief that it was much briefer than that. Strike hard and fast everywhere at once. Take the races you want and destroy the rest. Hard to imagine that something as powerful and advanced as the Reapers would take so long to do that.

when garrus was in the military in his teens (not c-sec, but turian military) he often argued with a female teenager. before his platoon was about to strike on a batarian pirate brigade, garrus and his rival fought in a hand to hand combat match(a turian traditional warm up for suicide missions ) then the platoon barley obliterated the pirates, and garrus mentioned that he and the female soldier had a private rematch in her apartment, "my reach, her flexibility"- garrus mass effect 2
