Since it's so quiet, here's a new screenshot from Freedom's Progress:

[Jebel Krong]

nice excerpt, Ieldra, nicely in-tune with what you could expect from miranda at that age, and not be too disconnected from how she is in the game.



and fongiel was right about that one sentence.



funnily enough BAE developed the railguns that the US Navy uses/testing right now, on their battleships.

[Jebel Krong]

a few screenshots from pragia - the only planet where they put proper rain effects on the characters - it actually drips nicely down the armours! why they didn't use that elsewhere, i have no idea.

[Jebel Krong]

and of course the "fight" with pain-in-the-ass jack thereafter:















if i was miranda, i'd have broken her damn fingers, there...

[Ieldra]

I see you're another one who takes Miranda to Pragia, and who prefers to use the Renegade option to solve the conflict. Or do you side with Miranda?



Nice screenshots, btw. There's action in them. Most of mine tend to be more static, a result of my looking for good angles for too long.

i take miranda everywhere anyway, but especially when i'm capping.... i do use the renegade option for that conversation because i'm a completionist - so i do get everyone alive (though on my current 360 playthrough i'm killing most - as you helped me with specifics earlier in the thread). i will copy the save profile and do one where i side with miranda, and also do a different end choice on another playthrough so i have most of *my* important bases covered for me3...

i tend to just take loads of screens and try and cherry pick a few of the best (and unusual ones not so-far seen) for posting, sometimes i play sections again just to get better shots too (i have a disease i think - oh yes - OCD!). as fraps save BMPs i currently have over 4GB saved.... thankfully i auto-script them into JPEGs in photoshop, and that's resulted in cutting it down to about 300MB, which i'll keep. i've recently decided that i prefer the Aegis vest on shep, too so you may notice a change in there (seemingly it's not as good quality, texture-wise).

Same here. Miranda is my perfect team mate. She's an invaluble member.

If you're a completionist, then you should occasionally leave Miranda behind on others' loyalty missions, because if you always take Miranda, you'll never get to hear team member comments from others.

I take Miranda almost everywhere. She's just so bloody useful in almost all situations. My usual squad is her and either Garrus, Mordin, Thane, or Samara. The only thing I don't like is her loyalty power.

[Ieldra]

I have a question: what would be the correct name for one of Miranda's outfits - as opposed to other types of clothing? I'd like to give her a preference for the type in my fanfic, but what exactly is it that she prefers?

Sorry, your question wasn't clear, but are you referring to her in-game outfits? Actually, I can't think of a name, nor are there exact modern day equivalents. They look like skin-tight jump-suits, except they're actually two-piece.

Same, I also take Miranda on just about every mission. Maybe it's because she's there from the very beginning, but she really is so useful and... there's just somthing comforting about her being there.


Plus, I feel like she'll give me this face if I leave her on the Normandy:

Yes, I meant her in-game outfits. I was wracking my brain trying to come up with something. I guess I have to switch to something else, "jumpsuit" sounds like baggy and no style.

I actually like that shot. It suits my view of her.

Yes, I also don't like her loyalty power. Fortunately, you can maximize her other powers despite the point you're forced to spend there. And I am a completionist, but I also can't resist taking Miranda almost everywhere. There's almost no intersection with your companions, though. I prefer Jacob, Legion, Kasumi or Samara. My favorite would be Legion, except that we get to the Reaper IFF too late and it's so fiddly to mod the game to recruit Legion early.

Well, to be fair, it seems to be the same case with most of Shepard's casual wear too, and the generic "suit" seems to be the best approximation. Maybe it's the drawback of the Unreal3d engine at rendering cloth, and the lack of credible cloth outfits in both games, to the point where I find it jarring when fics mention Shepard wearing t-shirts and jeans for example. I just can't wrap my mind around it. Perhaps you can invent a name for the type of outfit Miri wears?

It's gotten to the point where I tailor EVERY other squadmate's skillset to Miranda's because she's such a permanent fixture for my Shepards. She's ridiculously overpowered,  so much so, I wonder if Bioware intended it this way in the first place. And yes, I put just one point in slam, but that's usually good enough.

I would like Bioware to be inspired by these armors for a new Miri alternate outfit.

[Melra]

I approve of the Kerrigan suit ( top left ). Not that I think that there's anything wrong with the current ones.

[Caihn]

I only dislike her default outfit.
I like the loyalty one .. I wish she could wear this one during the engine room scene.

I usually switch between squadmates on missions, but Miranda, Tali, and Garrus are on most missions. I can't imagine not doing a mission without them(especially Tali.) For my Main!Shep(whose a Vanguard), I made Miranda a Tactician instead of a Leader because my suicidal Sheaprd needs the health. I use Tali's Combat Drone to knock enemies out of cover for Shepard to charge or snipe.

Lower right: perfect
Upper left: good
Lower left: meh.
Upper right: gods, no. That would be worse than her default one.

I also find it jarring. I associate "colonial backwater".

I believe "catsuit" is the term I was looking for. Miranda's outfits are two-piece outfits, so it's not technically correct, but the pictures I find are surprisingly close to Miranda's loyalty outfit. And the associations evoked by the name fit perfectly.
Edit: or is that too much associated with fetish clothing? I don't want that.

i know, but i'm poor - having a kid will do that to you... 



yeah, i've played the game enough times to try most variations/squaddies/hear most of the comments (garrus' 'chewie' one on the citadel being a standout), i still occasionally come across something new, though.

her outfits are best described as form-fitting utilitarian suits, rather than anything else, the default is certainly more 'research' than the eventual alternate.

i hate all those variations, yannkee, sorry.
