Alany once argued with me about his place in the game, saying he was kind of the most generic Mass Effect guy, and I can't actually disagree with that very much. He's a very beloved character, but as a battleworth unit he's just there. Even if you look at Drak's journal, there's comments referring to 'and Garrus does something, kinda'. I'm not sure if he should stay - if you want a beloved character, Tali is almost as deserving on that front and her gimmick is much more unique, but maybe we can afford to keep him. Certainly nobody will go 'aww, why him of all people' at his inclusion. His abilities need work tho - Vagabond Justice was a very very clear throwaway and Archangel sort of didn't pan out very much at all. I'm not sure Tali is going to be any better in that regard. If she's in Mercs, you'd have to take away her most interesting ability (AI hacking), and being a frail shotgun user isn't exactly a recipe for success. She has much better options for abilities, but I see her struggling to beat 5s. KanzarisKelshen posted... Like I don't get the specific nerfing of leaving him with only 3 rockets, it's so weird He can only carry 3 rockets in game, so maybe that's where that came from? I remember in Mercs 3 he had an upgrade where he could carry 10, so maybe that's why it specifies it? (And yes, I was totally going to send him back if Travis didn't turn out to actively hurt my team.) --- ""Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope."
