<Snipped quote by Ace of Hearts>

Its funny you mention Garrus, hes a great character but damn near all of that was because of ME1.

When you first meet him, hes a mild mannered but frustrated cop who is struggling with the politics of regulation to what he sees as getting in the way of justice. He essentially stays cool and dutiful but there is a very subtle and well written hint of his personality, that a part of him is a little more wild and pragmatic, and your many conversations with him slowly tease that out which culminates in the Dr Heart mission.

Mass Effect 2 shows you what he evolved into with 2 years without shepard, a more violent and headstrong vigilante, finally free of the restraints of procedure.

BUT

If you just jump into ME2 on its own with no prior knowledge of his ME1 character hes just this Cool Swaggering Badass who makes snarky jokes every now and again. ME2 is so obsessed with making everything darker and edgier it misses a lot of the subtle charms of ME1.

So it's Bioware's fault that new players don't know Garrus and haven't play the first game? come on. I don't even understand what you're getting at with the 'BUT' there.
