Choose "make amends" when dealing with Grunt in the DLC, and Shepard literally becomes his parent. "Grunt, you apologize to the nice man for setting his car on fire." "I'm sorry for setting your car on fire... ...And I won't do it again."
A Human With A Turian Boyfriend And A Krogan Son... I Think That Would Make A Good Movie. And Don't Forget About The Crazy Krogan Uncle! That Is Important Too!
@@Ivory5547 hell yeah! There's another line about FemShep romance with Garrus about adopting krogan babies and living in a sunny beach with vids royalties. LOL
You know you've got an impressive character arc and real growth when you go from dismissing Ramen as inedible to bailing out of your car, catching on fire, fighting C-Sec, getting arrested and conscripted into Super Secret Spectre Operation Fire Cobra Claw for no other reason than wanting to eat Noodles. I love you Grunt.
Me: I've personally raised 90% of my family as a teen rather than my parents. I will never want kids and I will never feel motherly towards anything. Grunt: *exists* Me: oh my god my pure son if anyone even sneezes in your direction I WILL BREAK THEIR NECK.
22:00 actually going for the middle option is funnier. Shepard says “if I know Grunt, the answers coming from his shotgun” Grunt smiles “you do know Grunt” then pounces on him.
Neutral options on Tuchanka consistently produce excellent dialogue that the Krogan respect far more than the diplomatic tone of paragon responses. Especially when dealing with Uvenk.
I love that the headbutt is literally something Shephard has just learned a few minutes prior but he knows it's a Krogan "shut up" and applies it appropriately. Damn this game was good.
Shadow_Link So do I bud. I'm hoping to get Wrex's family armor and help him and Grunt save their kind from extinction. They deserve a second chance. ^^
@@Salrie-Antlerhorn Oh i am amoungst Fellow Cultured men. The Krogans were high on my Pull outta fire list...when i heard the option of Double-crossing the Krogan i felt insulted.
The first time I saw Grunt's last stand I figured I would have to re do the quest because screw the Rachni Grunt is way cooler. Luckily he survives anyways so I didn't have to redo the quest after all.
If you did not secure Grunt's loyalty in ME2, he will die in ME3 if you choose to spare the rachni queen. If you abandon the queen, Grunt survives regardless of whether he's loyal to you or not.
I'm usually Paragon throughout, but I can never resist telling EDI "I won't be second guessed on my own ship, by my own ship" That line gets me every time
What a great game. 1 minute of this game has more interest, character and intrigue than the entirety of ME:A. I hope they don't stuff up the next one, but I'm not holding my breath.
I'm gotta say, Grunt's really intelligent, especially for a krogan, and surprisingly reasonable. Only other krogan that comes close to this mindset is, you guessed it, Wrex.
as strong and badass grunt is as a warrior as adorable he can be in some of his other moods even if they are rare they exists well he is a young adult already in 2 technically but hasnt lived it not had the expierienced to mentaly grow over that teenager state before he grow adult in like 6 months later? well as 23 however a krogan could count as a child same as asari in thier 100s since krogans who do not die in battle tend to live very long i love grund thx for this still in 2018 i love grunt somhow too
La TankzU yeah he/she has not only got cybernetic implants in the bones and muscles, but also slightly heat resistant skin, synthetic fibres woven in the organic tissue and even synthetic joints. This explains why Shepard can perform crazy physical feats, like running into fire punching a Krogan to death and can do 200 pull ups, Shepards practically a cybernetic super soldier.
@@superdougie4637 the heavy bone and heavy muscle weave upgrades in 2 still creep me out. Also, I felt dirty for headbutting him with a helmet in my playthroughs.
What I've always thought was the weirdest thing about grunt is how surprisingly different he looks compared to other krogan like he's shorter and fatter (sure does feel like it) the dude doesn't look messed up like other krogan like clearer skin and doesn't have what looks like teeth on his lips (sure is what it looks like to me) and instead of the shell (or whatever that is) on all krogans heads it looks he's wearing a pile of rocks on his head and most importantly he has rock chin thats the next why does this exist product a rock chin to make it easier to headbutt people
@@natekatchuk3858 well here's the thing the krogan have looked consistently the same aside from color changes and there are countless krogan background characters and again have all looked relatively the same and they could be like any age also when grunt was being made he was technically a fully grown krogan
@@DeathDragon5000 In-world explanation: Any Krogan adult without a fully-fused skull plate wears a helmet to avoid looking like an adolescent. Like any other secondary sexual trait, some may have theirs fuse earlier in life while some might have it later. Lastly, Okeer was screwing around a lot in the Krogan genome, so Grunt's skull plate may be one of those "trial and error" choices going with a clone that is in an earlier stage of adulthood. These are just some fun ideas in my head, the art director from the game said Grunt was designed to look like a baby. Fresh skin, no scars, brand new armor.
@@originalstickers i think maybe okeer made grunt ages slower than normal Krogan. I doubt dude would call a Krogan who isn't capable of growing an adult shell perfect.
It is really crazy that grunt’s voice actor is also the voice actor for Zeb from Star Wars rebels,starscream from Tfp and earthspark and Dempsey from cod zombies
Have any of you noticed? Grunt and Miranda have actually a very similar situation and background: both created from DNAs and modified Genes by mad men who wanted the perfect specimen. And what Gruppo says "i did not earn it, i simply am" is a very semplified version of what Miranda says about herself
Ahh grunt. The first time he pops out of the tank I was like dammit I miss wrex. But by the end he truly was shepards little Krogan son
I have never been prouder... i treated him like my own. He kicked ass. just like me
I'm a simple man I see uvank I press R2
And Wrex as the uncle trying to teach Shepherd how to handle him 🤣🤣
Choose "make amends" when dealing with Grunt in the DLC, and Shepard literally becomes his parent.
"Grunt, you apologize to the nice man for setting his car on fire."
"I'm sorry for setting your car on fire...
...And I won't do it again."
The whole situation feels like a teenager calling Daddy/Momma Shepard for help when the police lock them after some noodle incident.
Grunt the son you never had XD
Grunt...
*THE SON I WANT AND CAN NEVER HAVE!* 🤣
If you play femshep with Garrus romance, when you rescue Grunt and the scouts Garrus says something funny about "kids grown up fast" XDDD
A Human With A Turian Boyfriend And A Krogan Son... I Think That Would Make A Good Movie.

So that adoption bit was about Grunt being they're boy.

I love you Grunt.
I always wished I could get the noodles from 2
Heh heh heh
I love grunt.
@@deontaeavila3514 we all love Grunt. He he he.
Best hidden Grunt line: “You just lost the fight for your right to party!”
"Adolescence? Can't we just take him to Omega and buy him a few dances?"
I love you Garrus
ME2: *Grunt complains about ramen looking like dead worms*
ME3: *Citadel DLC*
Well... He said it looks gross, not that it tastes bad. He was hungry, tried it, and liked it.
Fanservice, you're damn right. But great fanservice, you're god damn right.
Grunt: Sprayed us down with riot foam. Didn't work so well on me.
Shepard: Why is that?
Grunt: Because i was on fire.
Gold... pure gold
Iron Bull and Grunt:
"I don't hate people, I hate the groups they belong to"
Ayyye I wasn't alone thinking that
You mean, Vega and Oghren... 🤣🤣
Why would i want to hate the Krogan?
The Qunari on the other hand...
Me: I've personally raised 90% of my family as a teen rather than my parents. I will never want kids and I will never feel motherly towards anything.
Grunt: *exists*
Me: oh my god my pure son if anyone even sneezes in your direction I WILL BREAK THEIR NECK.
wow, someone had a major turn around XD
Eyup
I think Grunt will break their necks before you get to them haha, but understandable.
22:00 actually going for the middle option is funnier. Shepard says “if I know Grunt, the answers coming from his shotgun”
Grunt smiles “you do know Grunt” then pounces on him.

"You do know Grunt. This verran is dead." 😁
Neutral options on Tuchanka consistently produce excellent dialogue that the Krogan respect far more than the diplomatic tone of paragon responses. Especially when dealing with Uvenk.
I will never be able to get over how much I love the renegade interruption to headbutt Uvenk.
Me too. I don't do renegade but I will headbutt Uvenk every time.
Even in a paragon playthrough, I headbutt that guy all the time
I love that the headbutt is literally something Shephard has just learned a few minutes prior but he knows it's a Krogan "shut up" and applies it appropriately. Damn this game was good.
The best part is the krogan shaman's amused reaction.
@@CREDLACE I think its more of a insult, like givinf the middle finger.
51:04 I like to think the reason grunt in sleeping in the shower while its on is because it reminds him of his tank and it helps him sleep
48:23 I like how the screen starts shaking
*Shepard intensifies*
Citadel DLC is the whole trilogy as a meme and I LOVE IT
I saved the krogans in my game.I really like the krogan race.
Shadow_Link So do I bud. I'm hoping to get Wrex's family armor and help him and Grunt save their kind from extinction. They deserve a second chance. ^^

That dalatrass was an absolute bitch. 110%
You ......always ....need ....a..... krogan
0:00 Okeer was such a great character. As confident and threatening as Wrex, but seemingly more cunning.
I think it would be interesting if he could become a squad mate or at the least survive the encounter
I don't need luck i have ammo. This is Grunt for you.
Grunt is a t3xan in a krogans body
“ So. How were those noodles? “
“ A little spicy. “
Anyone else think the ramen was spicy because he was still smoldering from the fire?
I just love the conversations between Wrex and Grunt. Garrus has a cool voice, but Wrex? The coolest.
I found this blue rock for you, Liara :D
Catalyst TV meff
Sounds like a boy telling mommy. i am glad i chose male character.... and i still felt like a daddy to grunt
I thought only his balls were blue... His rock too?
“You talking to me?”
“Yes, I am.”
“You must be talking to me.”
Take a moment to admire the quads on Shepard to talk that way to a drunk death machine.
Grunt is my baby.. I miss him
You and me both... i am proud of my boy
the screen shake with grunt and wrex saying Shepard gets me to this day
I like how with almost every play through that deals with Grunts right of passage has Garrus with them. Good choice.
Uncle Garrus, or Stepdad if FemShep is romancing him. Lol!
*Damn your lettuce!*
The first time I saw Grunt's last stand I figured I would have to re do the quest because screw the Rachni Grunt is way cooler. Luckily he survives anyways so I didn't have to redo the quest after all.
Depends how you handle his quests, because he can die.
If you did not secure Grunt's loyalty in ME2, he will die in ME3 if you choose to spare the rachni queen.
If you abandon the queen, Grunt survives regardless of whether he's loyal to you or not.
First time I did that with an imported save i legitimately started crying when he was fighting those Rachni. Then he just made it out anyway.
Exactly what I was debating
@@logion567 Respect breeds motivation.
I'm usually Paragon throughout, but I can never resist telling EDI "I won't be second guessed on my own ship, by my own ship"

Grunt is Shepherd's son that he never had lol
14:19 A Dinosaur *Wrex* meets a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. *Grunt*
Best comparison Ive heard lol
I approve that Claymore 3000 is the best shotgun in the galaxy. And I can confidently tell that Grunt has survived the Rachni attack because of it.
52:32 And only now do I recognize the meaning of Grunt saying he’s a space cowboy.
Well his voice actor is spike speigals voice actor
Awesome
@@blackouthorus1519 And Oghren (Dragon Age)... and Abathur (Starcraft 2)... and Zeb (Star Wars Rebels)...
@@varricand Wolverine, and Starscream (Transformers Prime and RID), and a lot of other things; Steve Blum is really talented.
Okeer may have been an extremist and an asshole, but he seemed like a really interesting character and I wished he had more time in the games.
Grunt is so cute I love him especially when he does that laugh of his 😂😂😂😂
Yes. I have so many maternal feelings for him too 😂 he's like shep's baby to me and I gotta protect.
In the Shower when he mumbles it is like ASMR
Grunt is like Shepard’s kid it’s hilarious
"Fury is my choice, not a sickness"
48:02 That part always gets me. XD
43:34 gets me XD
Grunt was my favourite character, he was just brilliant.
What a great game. 1 minute of this game has more interest, character and intrigue than the entirety of ME:A. I hope they don't stuff up the next one, but I'm not holding my breath.
love how he gets even drunker while manning the door
“Wait? You’re selling cookies? Um….no, I shouldn’t let you in….damn!”
I'm gotta say, Grunt's really intelligent, especially for a krogan, and surprisingly reasonable. Only other krogan that comes close to this mindset is, you guessed it, Wrex.
Grunt read Ernest Herminway, acording to the Shadow Broker's dossiers.
True Krogan use their minds against the enemy to compliment their brawn.
52:33 See You Space Cowboy
Am I the only one that would have wanted to see Okeer as a crew member?
There’s only one thing I have to say about this:
SHEPHERRRRRRRRRD
Venom Grunt?
Wrex.
When talking with Grunt about his I hate Turians statement. I go with the middle choice so that he agrees that it was the wrong thing to do.
My Favorite Krogan in the group.
43:47 what i see now when i play me1 and look at the krogan statue XD
Grunt sounds more intimidating in 2 than 3, or is it just me?
maybe it's because he's mellowed a bit and isn't the in general homicidal/genocidal rage monster he was before? I don't know
Grunt was going through adolescence in ME2, that is why he was so angry and fierce. He is an adult in ME3, no surprise he calmed down.
Well, he matures a bit now that he’s found an outlet for his rage, and a family of his own, excluding Mommy/DaddyShep.
@@AlwaysANigga Nah. In human years grunt is 18 by ME3. He is still really childish outside of his leadership of Arlahk Company
Grunt is like Jack: both angry and homicidal in 2, but mellowed a bit after finding a reason to vent their rage in 3.
24:53 best line in ME2

Grunt and Legion, the sons of Shepard.

You should have had the clip of EDI talking about how Grunt has breeding requests
Why is Mass effect 2-3 facial hair so much better than Andromeda's... I thought sequels were suppose to be improvements

Never forget Grunt is also Tom from Toonami
My baby boy is growing up so fast.
I really wish you could have brought Okeer along
I consider Grunt as a baby korgan
couldnt grunt become a specta though he was build to best krogan i would think he can be the first krogan spec
l love grunt and love how basically shepard adopted him so now grunt be his son
Shepard and Liara together, Grunt their son with Wrex and Garrus as his 2 crazy uncles. Can it get better than that? :D
Throw Legion in as the second son and you got it
plus the mechanical drone dog & space hamster and you have a perfect family...ME series is creating a family
Yes, Shepard and Tali together.
(no hate towards Liara, just making a joke)
Of tali isn’t the mother. She’s grunt’s cool smart older cousin
🙏 I love grunt i almost cried❤
Okeer sounds like Pong Krell from the clone wars.
That's because they have the same voice actor dave fennoy plus he plays Ronald Taylor (Jacob Taylors dad) and a random Turian named Tarak
44:08 shepard: what the wtf son
Did anyone else notice Garruses head @12:29? 😂
I love his laugh so much lol
Why does Okeer sound like if he shares voice with either Mongul or Thanos?
