A little Spicy: The Grunt Thread

I thought Grunt was pretty straightforward. We saw him with the initial ideas that he would eventually start a clan of his own to pit against a worthy Shepard to looking at Shepard as sort of a parental figure. He may not have been the best fighter in the game but I liked the interactions with him. Also, I loved that he got drunk on the Citadel, wrecked a C-Sec vehicle, and found it to be a joke.

I also like that he represents hope for the krogan, even if they're mostly too stupid to understand it. He's potentially very powerful and the krogan females should want his genes. We haven't seen what he can truly be because he's very young and has little actual experience. Once his power is combined with more experience he'll be unstoppable.

Ok, that comic was adorable 

Garrus was my first ME3 romance and one I consider to be my "canon", and I also considered Grunt to be their adopted child.

The first time through ME 3, I hit that scene and when the music started I had a pit in my stomach and started bawling. I really liked Grunt ever since his intro in ME 2. I did cheer when Grunt reappeared at the shuttle.

My mother was watching when i last played this mission. She's normally not interested unless I'm making a fool of myself on Little Big Planet, and often falls asleep during firefights, but I think she quite likes Mass Effect. She's a Jack and Mordin fan primarily (a little awkward since i'm basically Liara with a hint of Garrus) , but she's got a soft spot for Grunt.
"I though he was a gonna there..." I hear her say as Grunt staggers on screen, covered in blood.

I once tried to explain the ending to her. I'm not sure I ever managed to finish the explaination.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Joyful Kwanzaa and a peaceful New Year!



I posted this on the main board, but I like it so much have it again! X-mass effect by Fishbone76

Just found, I think, this is nice. Happy New Year!

I just got to play the ME3 DLCs for the first time ever (and besides Mirandas scenes I've never seen any others).
This hilarious dialogue and the flashbacks made me cry of laughter and joy. For me simply one of the best moments of the whole Trillogy

Anybody know who wrote this part of the DLC or Character so I can thank them?

Actually, I think Javik was in his rightful place.

Seriously, though, you're correct. Vega plays the gruff "tank" character that would have been Grunt or Wrex in prior games. I'm glad we got to see Grunt, but it would have been nice to have him as a squadmate. Still I absolutely love everything he does in the Citadel DLC. EVERYTHING!

What Grunt should've said about how people are soft instead he should've said: "You a bunch of soft-ass motherfuckers."

Krogan son!!

I confess, I didn't use Grunt a lot on missions in ME2, but I loved his interactions with Shepard on the Normandy. I loved his scenes in Citadel (even my boyfriend, who is uninterested in pretty much any video game that isn't Football Manager, enjoyed watching the Citadel scenes). I ugly cried when I thought he'd died fighting the Rachni, and I leapt out of my chair cheering and fistpumping when he staggered out of the cave. So, yeah, I'm a fan...

I was disappointed that he couldn't join you as a full squadmember in ME3, though. I mean, I was disappointed generally that most of the ME2 squadmates weren't available, and it always felt like some of the reasoning was a bit weak (I mean, OK, in some cases the characters had moved on with their lives into other important roles, but really, Garrus and Tali can join up with Shepard despite their new high ranks amongst the Turians and the Quarians respectively but Miranda, Samara etc. have to go and do their own thing once their missions are over?). I get that they probably didn't want the case where you'd have something like 15 potential squadmates, but Grunt always seemed like a pretty obvious candidate. "Shepard is my battlemaster, she has no equal", and all that.
