Wow, that is stunning work. I wish she looked like that in game. Not that she didn't look great anyway but there's always room for improvement, no?

Miranda is for adults, Tali is for young adults, Jack is for idiots.

Hey, no LI bashing here! We all love Miranda, but everyone has different romance preferences. That doesn't make them idiots.

True.  I apologize for the brutish comment...just got caught up in a couple other ME female bashing threads and I forgot I left the attitude.
I meant it more as a discussion why Miranda is hit or miss with some people...I think her character has a far deeper and more adult based commentary.

[jtav]

There we agree. I find her to be the most complex, complicated, and just plain interesting character in the series. She is older and more independent than some of the other characters. She's a woman who knows to she is in a cast where a lot of them are still trying to figure that out.



Apologies for my defensiveness.

I get the feeling that pure Paragon Shep and Miranda would drive each other crazy, with her constantly wondering how he manages to survive, even thrive, when he should be dead a thousand times over. He's lucky. She's not.

I finished my edits for the first chapter. No idea when I'll post. Want to get a few more chapters. About to take my first crack at writing Shepard/Tali and Gianna. I suspect Gianna will be more fun.

If you write Gianna I want to read it. She's one of my favorite non-squad NPCs. Also she and Miranda could be great friends.

You know what's annoying? She actually *could* look that good in the game - if it was developed for the PC exclusively and the game's textures and lightmaps could use the bigger memory and faster processing of current graphics cards. I'd have to buy a new PC for it, but it would be totally worth it.

[jtav]

Yes it would. I suddenly feel guilty about playing the series on my 360.

You PC gamers had DAO build up for the PC! Let us have ME2!

I really was going to wait, but...

Title: Atonement
Rating: R
Characters: Miranda, Thane, Mordin
Pairings: Miranda/Thane, Male Shepard/Tali in later chapters.
Summary:
As the Collector threat looms ever larger and those she thought she could trust turn their backs on her, Miranda finds solace in Thane's company. His death seems inevitable, but the woman behind the Lazarus Project won't let him go without a fight.
Author's Note: While this is in no sense a conversion fic, the fact that Mordin and Thane are central characters means that there is some discussion of religion in this story. The views expressed are not necessarily my own.

Hi guys. Anything new? I'm guessing chances could be somewhat good that this is 136 pages long, but then again we probably didn't say really new in the last two threads either

[shukaaku]

Hey, new here. I for one was totally surprised by Miranda. On my first play-through I just couldn't stay faithful to Liara.

[Unit-Alpha]

I desperately hope they revamp Miranda's model and textures for ME2. I just started watching Chuck and Miranda's facial textures/model do not do justice to Yvonne.

[Pwnisher]

Yeah, I want a better model for Miri.

To be fair, what would do justice to Yvonne?

If anything, I just wished that I could make Miranda wear actual armor in combat. I mean, realistically, once her shields go down, the only thing between her and incoming bullets is her Cerberus bathing suit thing. The worse part is, Miranda is the type of person who would wear body armor if the threat level was high enough - sure, it'll be some custom armor designed by Louis Vuitton but still. 

And yes, Jack is even worse.

[Bom_diggidy_Wrex]

Miranda she is genetically better Cuz it's a fact!

(btw anyone else find it awesome miri is only character can do the team leader role succesfully without loyalty...The whole galaxy is at Stake and all your team can do is care about themselves...except MIRI)

I Agree completley in some situationss like on city planets (illium citadel omega) miranda's suit is plausible but landing on tuchanka wastland full with threshermaws and other beasties she needs battle armor...maybe if we complain enough Alt apearance pack 2 will include this)

Like it so far. As I've already said, the character interaction is very convincing. I thought I'd dislike the Miranda/Thane angle, but that is also written so convincingly that I don't mind in a story what I wouldn't like in the game. Nice moments with subtle humor, too. Where the story touches religion, everyone is completely in-character.

BTW: There are a few words missing in the sentence that begins with "Millions, perhaps billions..."

:lol: Anything new? This question is rather strange, coming right after a post with a new fanfic and another with a Miranda fan art so new is wasn't on any of the old threads....

I wouldn't like to see her in the usual heavy armor Shepard wears. IMO, she'd wear lighter armor, perhaps something that would be classified "protective clothing". but yes, something that actually protects somewhat is a must. Not only for Miranda, but also for Thane who looks silly with his tailcoat-like clothing. I think in ME3, everyone but krogans should have a civilian outfit and a combat outfit.

that sounds good. as forMiranda's outfit, I doubt it's as paper thin as everyone beleives, I think for her it'd be a durable mixture of fabris that probably flame retardant and is bullet resistance to a certain degree.

[Arhka]

Still, would rather have her in armor. I hate the fact that she can go out in space with only a catsuit and mask. If it didn't annoy me so much, I'd take her on missions more.

I rather she wear light armour.

That's a different topic from "armor or not". I can live with compromises regarding the armor, but "realistic space clothing" is an absolute must. Which means, outfits that cover everything, really, absolutely everything, and complete helmets - which may be transparent. Space outfits can be close-fitting, though. That they aren't today is a matter of technology.

[Khirzask]

I approve of this thread.
