that is, indeed, epic. just stopping in to say hi. i love miranda. every time i start me2, i think i hate her. every time i finish, i adore the woman all over again. awesomely written character from start to finish. i love a character who's on a journey.

that is probably the best miranda fanart so far, so awesome i have it as the wallpaper on my gaming laptop. the artist's deviantart page is here, if anyone's interested.

Thanks Ieldra! It's scary how fast this new thread filled up - I don't even know if it's worth trying to catch up on 148 pages.

Fast? Fast enough for me, that's for sure, but I recall the time when the old thread averaged 20 pages per day. I've been trying to extract interesting information from the old thread and re-post it in summarized form, and to see if there's something FAQ-worthy left, but having to wade through 2000 pages of mostly OT stuff is is so incredibly tedious I haven't been able to continue. Perhaps someone else would want to continue - I've stopped at page 200.

Wow man some of the pictures there a pure awesome. You know what I for  won't minds  Mass Effect was done in art style. Seeing how well that Miranda picture came out you get more expression  from her face than you did with the 3D models.

I like the way things are now, even though I miss the old guard. Considering that the Tali thread was permanently locked for OT, I think we made the right decision. I do sort of wish I could find my first few posts to see if I've changed in the last six months.

you I'm not drag this in here bt  there is more  behind it than just OT a lot more but I'm not going to dump that on your guys plate.     

The one thing I will say is that is was not because of OT 

But i have said enough more  Miranda   

Miranda gets down with Akibo style pistols  another i found on deviantart

Forgive me for saying this plainly, nitefyre, but that's not very good... I guess people have to start somewhere.

Did you start in the first or the second thread? I recall your having posted in the first 100 pages of the second thread, but I didn't check the first one.

true, unless he going for that  off style, I have seen done before by some animators  to get a better feel for the motion.  Street Fighter Alpha Generations did that alot if you took a still on shot from fight it would look off but put all together  you have it.       

 

this  is pretty good too

Possibly the first. I remember that my first post was asking about her job now that she wwasn't with Cerberus, but I can't tell you when I started to actually add to the discussion. I remember that I was contraversial for saying that her childhood was abusive and that she has seduced people in the course of missions, if rarely.

Hehe, y'know, for someone so well-endowed, I'm actually pleasantly surprised that Miranda far prefers to blow your head off than seduce you if you don't give her what she wants. Although I did expect her to rebutt what that Asari merc said about her uniform. She's actually very blunt to the point of being a sledgehammer. Like telling your future commander you want to stick a control chip in his head? Great diplomacy.

So much so that when she tells Shepard about clearing out the engine room, I actually did a double-take, because it's like she's become a different person - the seductive voice, the flirting and body language.

I don't think it's her preferred tool and even then I think she rarely needed to do more than flirt. But she does specifically mention her looks as one of her father's gifts, and she doesn't seem to regard any of that as truly hers, but just as a tool to be used. If flirting, even having sex, with the target is best for the mission. Since the Lazarus Project doesn't call for that, she can more or less be herself.

Miranda has more than a few hang ups about stuff she didn't earn/get with her own work. Certainly when you first meet her, she's had two years of almost being allowed to be herself, rather than faking attraction or whatever. Plus, as far as I can tell, she prefers to be honest and direct. In more than a few ways, she's a lot like Shepard - a force of nature when she wants to get something done.

greetings Miranda thread i have been in here for like over a month!! How goes it with Miranda?!

[jtav]

I just read a not-very-good AU in which Miranda implanted a control chip in Shepard, which got me to thinking: how was it supposed to work? Would he be physically compelled to follow orders? The only thing I can come up with is something like Bioshock where he follows any command given by Miranda/TIM (prefaced by a trigger phrase) but without being aware he's controlled. It's a pity the story was badly done, as the idea has awesome potential.

Hello Mirandanistas,

Just popping into this thread to show my support for Miranda. As a woman I appreciate strong female characterizations, and Miranda's is one of the best in the game.

[jtav]

Glad to have you. I'm a woman who loves her for many of the same reasons. She's just so bloody competent through the whole game. She's permitted her strength, instead of being dependent on Shep. I love it.

[ADLegend21]

Miranda fits the the category of when guys say :" I love a girl who can kick my ass" because she can wipe the floor with some of the men in Mass effect.

By the way, I hope Bioware notices that most people who really like Miranda like her for being a strong woman, not for sex appeal. The sex appeal is nice. She;s beautiful. But most of us don't want her back so we can stare at "dat ass"

nuh-uh, it's cliche anyway, but would never work in a game because you'd lose any sense of control or identification with your character, especially the first time you were "forced" to do something against your will.

the only time i've seen something like that well done was scorpius' chip inside crichton's head in farscape season 2/3 - and that wasn't a "control" chip - & the way they handled it was awesome.

It would have to be something where Shepard isn't aware of being controlled. That's the only kind that makes sense. The rest may depend on the technology. Your suggesion is probably the most workable method. But I was thinking of the feasibility of the control chip in the first place: if such a thing is possible, why doesn't TIM do it to his most important people - Miranda, for instance? As with the return from the dead, it seeems Bioware introduced a single instance of some technology without thinking about the bigger implications of the plain fact that no technological achievement like that is likely to remain a single instance only.

I quote this yet again to increase the likelihood that some Bioware people read it. We can't influence what they'll do much, but they should at least know.

That same guy who made the armor also has this mod

I had never seen it before, how do you all feel about it?

Ummm... I'd pay for these outfits over what Bio made. Hmmm... kind of Leia like.

Nice mod.... but Miranda is not a striper to wear a dress like this ....
