February has long been known as a romantic month thanks to Valentine\u2019s Day, but the month is also known as \u201cCreative Romance Month.\u201d One franchise that\u2019s known for its creative romance storylines is BioWare\u2019s Mass Effect<\/em><\/strong> series. Players could romance humans and aliens just the same, but some storylines stand out above others in the sci-fi RPG. Though the first Mass Effect<\/em><\/a> game only had three romantic options available, Mass Effect 2<\/em>\u00a0opened up the door for a lot of other romance options that players had requested.<\/p>\n

One of these romance options was none other than the Normandy\u2019s resident turian, Garrus Vakarian. He was introduced in the first Mass Effect<\/em> game, but not as a romance option. In the follow-up game, Garrus becomes a romantic interest for the female Commander Shepard, leading to some of the most heartwarming (and heartbreaking) moments<\/a> of the original trilogy. Garrus was a fan-favorite before his romance story, but his newfound role of boyfriend in addition to deadly sniper made many fans swoon.<\/p>\n

Garrus makes it through the first game relatively unscathed, but his reintroduction as the “Archangel” in Mass Effect 2<\/em> leads to him having a close call with death. Though he lives, Garrus has a permanent scar across almost half of his face, which he remarks that some women love scars \u2014 even if most of them are Krogan. Even Garrus\u2019 Funko Pop<\/a> captures his scar details, but he\u2019s also known for his smooth, rumbling voice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not until after players help Garrus take down Sidonis that they discover some romance dialogue options with the turian. When he talks about a previous sparring match before a big mission with C-Sec, things get a bit flirty with talk of \u201creach\u201d and \u201cflexibility.\u201d Later, Garrus questions why Shepard would want to be with him, but she comforts him and says she doesn\u2019t want just anyone \u2014 she wants him.<\/p>\n

Once players select the proper dialogue to lock Garrus in as their romantic interest<\/a>, Shepard will continue to talk with him about \u201cblowing off steam.\u201d Later, salarian Dr. Mordin Solus will approach Shepard and warn her about some chafing and other medical issues that could occur during her time with Garrus. It\u2019s hilariously awkward dialogue, but Mordin is just looking out for Shepard in the best way he knows \u2014 science.<\/p>\n

The night before the Suicide Mission, Garrus arrives to Shepard\u2019s room with wine and turns on some mood music. He tries to compliment Shepard by saying her waist \u201cis very supportive,\u201d being both endearing and awkward all at once. The culmination of Garrus\u2019 romance in Mass Effect 2<\/em><\/a> isn\u2019t nearly as explicit as other romance storylines but it\u2019s clear he cares deeply for Shepard, even if he\u2019s not a smooth-talker, which makes him one of the best romance choices for Female Shepard.<\/p>\n

Assuming Garrus survives the Suicide Mission of Mass Effect 2<\/em>, he\u2019ll reappear as a companion in Mass Effect 3<\/em>. Initially, Shepard and Garrus are reunited with a handshake\/hand-hold situation, but players can make clear they\u2019re still interested in him romantically not long after his reappearance. The paragon action will allow Shepard to interrupt Garrus with a kiss<\/a>, and the two make clear that they\u2019re still interested in each other, despite the tumultuous state of the galaxy.<\/p>\n

Later on, Shepard has the option to honestly tell Garrus that things have gotten tough to deal with. He’ll remind Shepard to \u201ccome up for air,\u201d not just because others are relying on her, but because he needs her too. Cue the heart eyes toward one of Mass Effect<\/em> fans\u2019 favorite companions and romantic interests. Garrus also decides to take Shepard to the top of the Presidium<\/a>, someplace he always wanted to go but never did because it was against regulations. There, players can lock him in as their romantic interest for the rest of Mass Effect 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Reaper War weighs heavily on both Garrus and Shepard. Players watch them become even closer over time as they discuss the morality of it all, along with Shepard always asking if Garrus has finally heard from his family on Palaven. The Citadel<\/em> DLC<\/a> also provides some new moments for players to experience between Garrus and Shepard, which are sure to give players that warm-and-fuzzy feeling through their laughter.<\/p>\n

Much like the other Mass Effect<\/em> games, the night before the final mission leads to a night of passion for Garrus and Shepard. Though again, it\u2019s not as explicit as some other scenes. That night, they have another heart-to-heart about what\u2019s to come, which makes the finality of the last few scenes all the more real for players. In their final conversation, Garrus asks her to forgive his \u201cinsubordination\u201d<\/a> and gives her an order to come back alive because, as players know, \u201cthere\u2019s no Shepard without Vakarian.\u201d And it was in that moment that fans’ tears could be heard \u2018round the world.<\/p>\n

Commander Shepard isn\u2019t Garrus\u2019 only option for love by the time Mass Effect 3<\/em> rolls around. If neither Garrus nor Tali\u2019Zorah are being romanced by Shepard, players can stumble upon different conversations between them, some of which get very flirty. Garrus and Tali bond over being the only dextro-protein aliens on the ship, with Garrus going so far as to find Tali a chocolate bar suitable for quarians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These two don\u2019t get the same treatment as other romance storylines, so there\u2019s no \u201cnight before the mission\u201d scene, but there is a moment where Shepard can catch Garrus and Tali kissing in the Main Battery. It\u2019s a bit of an awkward exchange, but it\u2019s cute to see the two of them bashfully explain themselves to Shepard.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear why Garrus Vakarian made his way into the hearts of players everywhere. He\u2019s genuine in his affection, but sometimes fumbles the execution when it comes to romance, which makes him all the more endearing. Players definitely have a lot to look forward to reliving when Mass Effect: Legendary Edition<\/em> releases<\/a>\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition<\/em><\/strong> is currently in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
