Well, the way things are going it looks like by the time you get to the end of ME3, the ME3 "True Ending" dlc will be out
I've got to agree with the others, don't let the ending put you off. These games are some of the best sci-fi around right now, not to mention being great games. I'm as disappointed with the endings as anyone here, and after finishing the game I needed to take some time away from it to "recover". But I'm already replaying it with my mostly-renegade Femshep and I'm loving it. I just experienced a lovely little moment that wasn't in my first game where she comforts her girlfriend, Liara, because she's feeling down about the war. No matter how it ends, I still love these characters and this universe, and you probably would too if you gave it a shot.
"Awesomeness of Garrus"? I recognize the words, but together they make no sense.Besides, everyone needs to experience the awesomeness of Garrus, your life wont be complete without it.
I didn't think it was physically possible to not like Garrus. You must be from the antimatter universe, or something."Awesomeness of Garrus"?

Towards the end of ME1 I was starting to warm up to him. Then the game ended, two years passed, and he forgot the lesson from his loyalty mission that the ends don't justify the means.I didn't think it was physically possible to not like Garrus.

That's self-contradictory, considering that Mac Walters is the lead writer...
I wasn't much of a Garrus fan in ME1. He was okay, but he had a chip on his shoulder about C-Sec and he never really stood out much. But in ME2, he was the goddamn Batman! As Joker said, he finally got that stick out of his ass and started beating bad guys to death with it.Towards the end of ME1 I was starting to warm up to him.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I dislike him - unlike some other ME2 party members I could name - but during ME1 he was fifth on my list of preferred squaddies (with only Carth McBlanderson coming in behind him).
From what I saw, the source of that was a disgruntled writer that claims to have written many of the most popular parts of ME2&3 (Mordin and Garrus' dialogue in ME2 and the genophage mission were mentioned). Given how stupid it would be for a writer that's attempting to be anonymous to detail what they wrote, and those scenes just so happened to be fan favourites, it's probably a fake. But it has the veneer of being true because it seems unlikely that ending could have passed peer review from the other writers.
At least try ME1, that's on Steam and it's more-or-less a self-contained story. There are fewer main characters, the combat and inventory systems are awkward, and the side-quests usually take place in the same three buildings, but most of the important stuff is there and the main story is regarded as the best of the three.Well guess I won't be playing it then.

My Shepard started out as an almost pure paragon, but he ended up getting sick of the Council and their rules and started to become a bit more of a renegade. I think that Garrus and I grew together from opposite sides of the spectrum, him learning to be a bit more of a paragon and me being less willing to take crap from people.

The story and cast is really top-notch though. I think that I'll have to play all three games again and see how it feels as a finished product from end-to-end. Hopefully by the time I get to 3, we'll have an ending. 
At least ME1 has a good excuse in the form of mass-produced prefab structures.Yeah, the re-used environments really soured me on the first game, though it wasn't as bad as Dragon Age II, where every cave looked like the Bone Pit. Yeesh.
