In Mass Effect 1, each of your squadmates has a morality score on the paragon and renegade spectrum. Shepard can influence the outlook of the crew through conversations and quests, potentially shifting their viewpoints throughout the game.
Garrus’ morality is unique among the rest of the crew because his morality score is actually imported into Mass Effect 2 and creates some unique dialogue in the sequel. Shepard can either encourage Garrus’ renegade behavior by agreeing with him in conversation or show Garrus a different, paragon way of doing things.
With the help of Shepard, Garrus will get a second chance to take down Doctor Saleon. When you board the research vessel you’ll get swarmed by reskinned Thorian Creepers. Once the fighting is over, you’ll confront Doctor Saleon.
You’ve basically got two options in this scenario… you can take the renegade path and let Garrus serve up a little space justice. Or you can paragon it up and try to arrest Saleon instead.
Either way, Saleon ends up dead but Garrus learns a different life lesson depending on how you approached the situation. Near the end of the game, Garrus will thank Shepard for taking him onto the crew and teaching through example.
In Mass Effect 2, we reunite with Garrus on Omega. Depending on your influence, Garrus will have some unique dialogue after the mission, when you ask him what he’s been up to in the past two years.
If you showed Garrus the way of the paragon, he’ll tell Shepard he went to rejoin C-Sec. However, if you indulged in Garrus’ renegade nature, you’ll learn he tried to become a Spectre. There’s also a neutral dialogue option - assuming you didn’t speak much to Garrus in Mass Effect 1.
