They're doing their conference at E3. We're hoping for news of DLC or ME3.

E3 conference.

Bioware will be on the show, but I think they will only focus on SWTOR. Can't wait for the new cinematic trailer.

I don't think it's the right place to discuss this. But I can see you don't know what SWTOR is, so you should visit the official site  : www.swtor.com
There is nothing similar between Force Unleashed and SWTOR except the Star Wars franchise.
SWTOR is simply the most ambitious game from EA/Bioware/LucasArts.
So, get back to Miranda now Image IPB

I know we've been over this a few dozen times, but can I just vent for a minute?

There is more to Miranda than her assets. There are undoubtedly fanservice elements to her character, but her romance is not a "booty call" nor do you have to be a "horndog" to like her. I don't even like her romance that much, nor do I want to sleep with her. And yet i still manage to love her to bits because she's so marvelously interesting. What's so hard to understand about that?

And while I'm at it, she isn't a sl*t, either.

Post on the character discussion group insinuating Miranda was just there for sex appeal and that's the only reason anyone could like her. And that she's, ah, freely available.

Oh well what can you do? If you can't dislike a character based on facts, hate them with ilogical reasoning that could apply to all love interests.;)

To quote Sleepy Buddha (old Miranda thread):



I thought the scene was perfect as is.



No need for talk, everything was well laid out for both in their previous interactions. That is another contrast between Miranda's scene and the other LI's which I loved.



Whenever Shep and the other LI's talk right before the scene, I feel that there is still some doubt, and perhaps even a slight lack of trust. Not so with Miranda.



They already knew how deeply they cared for each other and what they wanted. They followed their feelings and let them guide their actions.



Her invitation shows how sure she is of what she wants. She wants to be with him, no reservations, no doubts. Which is even more incredible considering how distant and guarded she is with everyone else and how she was with Shepard in the beginning.



As for tenderness, the tummy hug is for me the best demontration of tenderness in both games. There could have been a bit more tenderness, but when you consider how starved for real, deep, loving intimate contact Miranda was at that point in her life, it's understandable how she quickly took control of the situation and increased the pace.



I don't understand why you feel there's a "one night stand" vibe to the scene. When I see it, I see a man and a woman who are so confortable with each other and trust each other implicitly, that all their actions feel completely natural to me.



EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it , to me the whole scene feels like it's happening between two people that have been together for a long time and understand each other completely on a very deep emotional and intelectual level.



Anyway, that's my opinion. It needs to be spread around

/end quote

I agree with him. He changed my view of the entire romance scene...

Whadaya gonna do? Character discussion group is a neutral zone. At least somone is always there to defend her.

Also I'm sorry but that scene REALLY needed dialogue. Like bad.

Also I do the kiss. Every. Time. Wonderful verbal sparring there. Renegade, pfuh. What does that even mean anymore?

Yes, that scene needed dialogue badly. Ieldra and I disagree, but I would have put "promise/no promises" just beforehand. I'm a romantic at heart and didn't find the sex all that erotic or passionate.



And I know it's a neutral zone. But that kind of thing never fails to make me see red..

That's why you have to pick up arms and run to the battlefield! You gotta represent, jtav! All the other fans are!

Though that discussion is over.

I'm not one of those people who thinks their favorite romance is completely perfect and nothing needed to be better. I liked this romance but it needed dialogue there.

I certainly thought the sex scene was steamy. Passionate? Well I'm not sure... guess I'd have to hear you define passionate. People are free to interpret it as meaningful-passionate, but I'll stick with just... steamy.

I was busy reading the comic at the time. Hour of my life I'll never get back.



I wanted more dialogue period. I'd happily ditch a romance option or two in exchange for the romances being longer.



The scene didn't even feek steany. Just...nothing for me. I think the brevity of the romance had something to do with it. I didn't feel emotionally invested enough for it to feel like a payoff.

Well, the best thing that we can all hope to happen in ME3 is that the romance scenes do have a bit more dialogue as well as being a bit longer.

P.S. This is going to sound really, really rediculous, but I haven't done the Miranda romance yet. Why, you ask? Because I wanted to get the paramore achivement on my second playthrough with my main Shepard. You know, still have something to work for in the game and by what it sounds like, the romance is well worth the work.

My favorite woman in Mass Effect 2 and the main heroine of my Shepard's story. I am back to give my support to the professional, competant, morally ambiguous anti-hero known as Miranda Lawson. I really can't picture my Shepard with anybody else. By the way, Miranda is the only love interest I know of that can really stand with Shepard and not just be lead by him.

That doesn't sound ridiculous. I often put things off til other playthroughs to prolong the gaming experience.
