In the latest article from the GameInformer Mass Effect article series, Art Director Derek Watts takes us through the character design in Mass Effect and, more specifically, Garrus.
The more interesting parts was when he revealed how much more design was behind Nihlus while Garrus was only receiving a small amount. Also, pictures of Garrus in ME3. Seems his scars have healed quite a bit now. Also, is he wearing some form of Alliance uniform underneath his armor? I would have guessed C-sec but the gold collar throws me off.

 Enjoy.

I just looks like the average formal dress wear underneath that.  And he was C-Sec before this whole Shephard business.  Maybe he goes back?  I hope not.

Shame mine died a bullshit death in ME2 :(

So, he finally got a new armor that doesn't have a GIANT HOLE IN IT. My man is moving up in the world.

I like Garrus as a character, but mainly because I can't have Nihlus as a partymember. Was so disappointed to see him get an early end as I liked him a fair bit over Garrus, despite his pretty limited screentime.

Garrus is the cat's pajamas!

Garrus has always been my favorite Mass Effect character, but that armor still looks ridiculous. Why does it need such a huge, circular thing around the head? It looks like it was made for a Buzz Lightyear dome even though he wears a compact helmet.

Garrus is a cool cat (literally) but is totally conflicted in the the line that he shouldn't cross.

I hope that when we see the faces of the quarians, its after a huge battle against the geth on the homeworld and they all take off the masks in a huge sign of celebration

Garrus is boring.

Let's hope that armor doesn't hamper his "reach" any

Loved Garrus as a character, but his worth was severely limited in the second game. When it came to it, Samara, Miranda, and Thane were all I needed (Warp + Reave) except for the one or two missions against large amounts of geth (In which case, I just used Tali and Legion)

Pft, Nihlus.

If he'd stayed with a team, maybe he'd have lived. He might have survived too if he kept his helmet on.

And in response to the criticism of the armour -
Huge neck shielding is always good, it means that you can be 8ft tall and your cover can be 5ft tall and you'll still have some good facial protection when crouched.
Heavier is better. It just is.
And that's not a formal dress under the plating, though it does give the image of it. Great for tactical VIP snatch and grab at formal parties. Formal bodysuit, but not a formal dress.

Also formal suits don't work in Zero Atmosphere environments.

Uniform looks like this.

I really liked Garrus.  There was something about him trying to understand humans and how they work that really endeared him to me.  That and he was kinda cute when trying to figure out how to get it on with FemShep.

I am also liking the facial armour on the left side. May as well protect what's left of the other half. Damn Gunships.

WHY DOES HIS ARMOR STILL LOOK SO STUPID

Considering how much smack he talked about C-Sec in the past two games, I think it'd be a huge stretch if he went back to them.Also, isn't the Systems Alliance military a human only force? I remember a lot of the staff in the first game talking about how weird it was that there were aliens on the ship... Even the small portion where you have a ranking officer inspect your ship. I seem to recall him being slightly disgusted by there being so many aliens on an Alliance ship. Of course with the impending doom of the galaxy they could have opened their flood doors to candidates or even recruited Shepards closest allies. The latter seems more likely to me but the former would be awesome. I'd love to see a Volus in SA colors. "

Garrus is my favorite character. 

My party mostly consisted of Jack, Garrus and then a swap between Miranda and Tali. The first time I saw him back in the 2nd game I was excited. SO happy he's back.

Own Dead Space 2 and Garrus will come equipped with a plasma cutter, perhaps? XD

Garrus lives! (in my game anyway)

Garrus is just a plain badass, calibrating all day and sniping fools all night!

Agree with the general Garrus-love sentiment. When the inevitable ME mmo comes out, I'll probably be a Turian. Unless Geth are playable, that is. 
 
Anyway, I didn't do much with him in ME1 but in ME2 he was paragonshep's best bro. Despite this, I'm kinda conflicted as to whether or not he "should" be a playable party member. Supposedly the roster is smaller this go-around, and there's so many characters I'd like to see again yet I need to see some new blood as well. It'll be interesting to see how returning crew members there ends up being...

This thread makes me want my crew to be out of armor while on the Normandy.
My Shepard is gonna be strolling around in a hoodie while everyone else is in full battle gear.
I also hope I get a new crew, my last one...I was too late.

in ME3 is it Garrus's turn to have daddy issues?

it was briefly mentioned in ME1.

"my dad told me to stay @ C-Sec but nooo i had to try for Spectre"
