#this scene reads to me like #shep: why’d you shoot me #garrus: noncommittal hand wave (via @rushvalleys)

this makes me laugh bc he comes up w three excuses to justify shooting her in the span of like ten seconds: 1) i knew it was u all along shep i just didnt want the mercs to know it was u ok?? 2) also u were taking too slow 3) also i’m a n experienced rifleman i know i wasn’t gonna kill u promise

in reality he probably spotted shepard through his scope and was so startled he shot her on accident

im replaying mass effect 2 as a more renegade shepard vanguard

bc punching things is fun

and also, bc i disagree w the major “renegade” decisions (like giving the dude on freedoms progress to cerberus) i wont be going full renegade – just renegade dialogue paths mostly. so i wont take shit from anyone and itll be great

(lets see if i can actually do this lmao)

the vanguard thing is bc punching and then shooting a dude to kill them a certain number of times is an achievement and its literally the last one i need besides the “got literally every achievement” achievement and then ill have every achievement in me2

Garrus: Yeah so after you died I messed up my old job, my mom got a terminal illness and I went into a murderous depression spiral where I tried to emulate you but I’m a huge failure so I got all my friends killed and half my face blown off. But enough about me let’s go fight the collectors!!

Shepard: Oh my god are you okay

Garrus: *finger guns*

Shepard: ….Seriously are you oka-

Garrus: *finger guns more aggressively*

thequantumqueer:

good: garrus trusts shepard so much that he didn’t even question it when she showed up in the middle of a firefight despite being dead and just handed her his rifle because as long as she was there he knew everything would be okay
better: when garrus saw shepard, he thought he had died, but he was okay with that because if the afterlife had shepard in it how bad could it possibly be?

  • back of the head scratch
  • a character shaking their head in disbelief or disgust with hand on their forehead, looking down
  • that kiss animation used since origins and in every mass effect game where they very slowly go in, hesitate, bop their heads around, and really go in for the kiss 

  • when a character, usually female, talks and puts their two hands in front of them like a robot and shakes them to illustrate their point

  • a character leans back on one leg with their arms loose
  • the exit-stage-right an NPC does after a conversation ends
  • angry limp wrist pointing
  • neck/collar bone scratch 
  • a slow crossing of the arms in times of suspicion
  • that punch animation 
  • drinking alcohol and violently shaking head
  • a character gives a half smile with an eyebrow raised
  • pointing behind with thumb, body turns very slightly

I can never watch a conversation again without this post following me around

I’ll just leave this here…

DONT FORGET THE HUNCHED OVER STOMPING WALK THAT THEY DO IN LIKE EVERY CUT SCENE WHERE THEY WALK UP TO SOMETHING

Bioware did one hour-long mocap session for knights of the old republic in 2003 on a budget of $3.25 and never again since.
