I think you'd have to admit that Miranda's not well liked by most of the crew, at least at the start...


I did not really get that impression.  They are all excited about working for Cerberus and she is the Cerberus leader, and not only that she is this top operative.



             how exactly are they all excited to work for Cerberus ?Mordin is a scientist..he dosen't really care who he works for as long as he has a challenge...Zaeed is payed he dosen't give a crap who he works for...Kasumi somwhere like Zaeed...Thane is doing it to make some good before he dies..not cause he likes Cerberus...if not for the oath to SHep and the good of the Galaxy..Samara would kill the whole crew...Jack is most surely not excited...Tali and Garrus have their reservations...big ones actually..especially tali...so erm...i don't see much excitement here

Um because they say so if you ask them.  I am talking about the crew here and not the squad.

You've linked it before. I didn't say anything, but as you insist: Writing is OK, but it's not my type of story - too much characters arguing with each other for its own sake IMO. It all seems so pointless, almost like a soap opera. If you intended that, it's probably good but I wouldn't know because I dislike the genre. If not, then you need a plot. 

Edit:
Just saw your reply above. I get your point, but her character flaw seems petty, I don't think she'd be like that. That pettiness is why I said it all seems pointless. 
[/quote]

Well, first I appreciate you taking the time to write something more than "LOLOLOL this rawks" or "D00d u suk" :)

Soap operaish is definitely not what I'm aiming for... it is definitely dialogue heavy, but considering the subject matter and timeframe, talk is what's going to drive it. So if people yakking around at each other ain't your thing, odds are you won't like it.

As far as the pettiness, that's exactly the point. Like I said at the start of my first playthrough, I disliked Miranda intently. I thought she was mean spirited, cold, and vindictive. Shepard's able to get through that, if he chooses, by virtue of being her CO and taking the time to find out what makes her tick. The secondary characters, though, don't have that benefit. In her eyes, they are subordinates to whom she doesn't need to explain herself, and she behaves in very arbitrary ways as a result. Anybody who's worked in close quarters with a group of people, be it in an office, a platoon, or an after school project resents that kind of person.

IMHO pettiness/arrogance is not Miranda's flaw, it's that she doesn't recognize (or even care) that she comes off that way to those around her. Fortunately for the squad, she's as good as she thinks she is. Shepard would recognize it, but I think everybody else might have a problem with her.

YMMV...

Poor choice of words on my part as well.. Crew/Squad are definitely not interchangable in this case!

I think Miranda would get along with about half the team. Mordin, Jacob, and Samara definitely. Thane as well. Tali is possible, if Miranda resigned. I think she would regard Garrus as too much of a hothead. Same with Grunt. She and Jack already want to kill each other, and I don't see that changing.

Miranda on Garrus-"At least he knows what he's doing"

I always  get  the thought in my head they  secretly  have a crush on each other  but they are just  too stubborn to admit it.

I have to say the pictures on this page make it almost the worst in thread history. I wish you wouldn't all quote that dreadful modded outfit....

Yeah, I don't get the attraction of Miranda/Garrus. Does that make me a hypocrite?

No...I'm just saying that Miranda would get along fine with Garrus because Garrus can be fully trusted and knows what he's doing. So he's competent. Unlike Jack who Miranda considers "unstable".  Behind Shepard Garrus and Miranda are the next 2 best leaders.  If you choose Garrus to lead the fire team when Miranda suggest she should that's what Miranda says "Well at least he know's what he's doing."

After the sucide mission I think Miranda gets along fine with everyone considering what they all just went through.  Well maybe except Jack....  Friendship and trust can be forged on the battlefield.

I AM NOT SUGGESTING GARRUS AND MIRANDA HOOK UP LOL:P...I'm already annoyed that there might be a possibility that Jacob and Miranda were together. Analyzing Shep's and Jacob's dialgoue carefully I don't think that they ever did get together. I'm no fan of romancing squadmates ex's...

I think it's fairly clear that Miranda and Jacob had a relationship at some point, and he isn't over her. I prefer the idea of her with Thane, Liara or Kaidan to the idea of her with Shep. The romance is okay, but it doesn't really capture my imagination.

I still don't think they got together.  If they were together then Jacob would just flat out say so (no embarrassment for Jacob).  He tried to get something going and got turned down by Miranda.  If Jacob said "she turned me down" or something like that then he'd feel embarrassed (I'd be too) so that's why he says "it got a little close".  Jacob is probably one of the most disliked characters in ME2 so Bioware won't degrade him any further.  No offense Jacob fans.

They were good friends and talked about personal stuff (like Jacob's father) that's how they were "a little close" and how it got "really far apart" was when he got turned down because I think Miranda didn't want to give Jacob the wrong idea and she probably wanted Jacob to stay focused on the missions.  So she reverts back to the ice cold women we see in ME2 who doesn't smile and talks nothing else but business. 

When asked for insight on her character Jacob hardly knew anything. "Can't help you there commander, If I knew what made her tick then I'd either be with her or dead."  Which would imply he didn't get really far.  If they had a relationship then it would be reasonable for Jacob to know something.  He's obviously not with her or dead.  Then Shepard says "sour grapes" which is an idiom meaning denial of the desirability of something after one has found out that it cannot be reached or acquired.  If I used it in a sentence,  Jacob wanted Miranda, but she didnt like him so Jacob had a clear case of sour grapes.  Which would fit with Jacob saying "she requires a better man than I".

I'm basing it on dialogue.
