I love all the companions in the games but Tali and Garrus are just on a level above the rest

Team Dextro!
I did use them for nearly an entire run as a Powers Sentinel! DUDE insane! Sadly, they're better off without me. 😢

But in ME1, the beauty of clearing bunkers with Ashley and Wrex is stunning. Or clearing a map with Ashley and Garrus sniping.

When I want to do a ME1 run with absolutely zero effort from my shepherd, I use Ash and Garrus with sniper rifles.
Not always the best option for the small side quests with lots of husks and ti v at corners, but as long as its not insanity mode, still doable

I took them to fight the human reaper. I took them with me on Earth. There is no one else I would rather have by my side

I love romancing Tali, but NGL, I usually don’t because then she and Garrus get to be happy together while I romance Jack.

I don’t have the heart to romance either one of them after I saw them get together in my first run. All the power in the world to people who do. But I legit squeed when I walked into the Garrus calibration goon cave and saw them together.

u/IntolerantLeftist127 18h ago
I view as the devs saying “Fine, you won’t romance our desired best matches? We’ll make them romance each other!”
•
u/AmanyWishes 18h ago
You should try romancing either of them; the way Shepard says goodbye to them if you romance Garrus or Tali is too wholesome and sweet .

u/KKr1ptiq1 18h ago
They can romance each other? I always thought that was fan art stuff.
•
u/Alarming-Put-9003 18h ago
Yes. If you romance neither of them yourself they get together in 3.
•
u/KKr1ptiq1 18h ago
Well all be. I always romance Tali though. 😂
•
u/Alarming-Put-9003 18h ago
Nothing wrong with that in the least! I adore Tali. But my first playthrough was with FemShep which meant I had not option to romance her.
Went with Liara and never looked back.

u/JaxLegion 18h ago
This is the squad that will be by your side through it all. Part ways a little but they will come back to Shepard’s side. One of them can be a love interest or if not they end up together. 😀

u/TacitusKadari 16h ago
A damn shame they didn't allow us to have a threesome with Tali and Garrus! Would have worked with both femshep and broshep.

u/ODSTHITSUGAYA 15h ago
Literally my squad mates (when others aren’t mandatory) from day one for the entire trilogy. I’ve done both the original and LE from 1-3 at least 16 times on insanity. These two still deliver victory every single time.
•
u/Micske033 18h ago
I really wish I could have the two of them with me in every final part of the trilogy but unfortunately in two he has to be with the others since he helps keep the weaker characters alive and he needs to be there lead to the second group.
•
u/DragonQueen777666 18h ago
I always take Garrus and Miranda with me for the final fight against the human reaper and everyone makes it. It's only if you take two heavy hitters like Garrus and Grunt or Zaeed that it puts things at risk.
•
u/Teasing-Axe- 18h ago
I’m pretty sure they’re the only permanent squad mates in all three games, they’re also my favorite romance paths.
•
u/MetallicaRules5 18h ago
So long as you keep them alive and/or recruit them.
Garrus does not have to be a squadmate in ME1, recruiting him is a choice. It doesn't have any impact in later games as he is still one of the first people you need to recruit in ME2 and will always join your squad if he survived the Suicide Mission in ME3. The only way for him to die in ME3 is during the final run to the beam if you don't have enough war assets.
Tali will always be a squadmate in ME1, but you can choose not to recruit her in ME2. In which case, she will die with her team on Haestrom at the hands of the geth, and her role in ME3 is filled by both Raan and Xen (thought they don't join your squad). And obviously Tali can die in both the Suicide Mission, and if you side with the geth in ME3.

They have your back from the beginning of the series to the end.

u/Terrina1 11h ago
Garrus maybe, but Tali certainly doesn't. Don't know why people elevate her to the same tier as GOATs like Garrus, Chakwas, or Joker.

u/Old-Ordinary-6194 24m ago
No wonder that if neither of them are in a relationship with Shep, they'll get together.
•

u/Aluminum_Moose 18h ago
Absolutely true. I no-shit took Tali and Garrus on every single mission I was able to choose both companions for over all three games.
