It's not about the tattoo, it's that the outfit has her running around the world with it out in the open. But apart from that, a tattoo would mar her physical perfection. Likely it would go away on its own anyway, considering her accelerated healing. Just like the occasional scar she must have acquired in her line of work.

Indeed. She settles for nothing but the best.

I'm back to working on Persistence (femShep story is turning out longer than I thought). I suppose I should warn you that I'll be living up to my reputation as a sadist from here on out.

I suppose we can live with it, unless it affects the ending. I wouldn't like that.

She gets her girl. But I'll be delving into her childhood a bit more (abuse included) and she's going to have to deal with things she'd prefer not to think about.

Two questions:



Does anyone know of a cheat to activate loyalty outfits before the LM? I have a new Shepard who has finally reached ME2, and I'm getting fed up with having Miranda restricted to the white one.



Also, do any of you think Miranda has a romantic side? Not romantic as in "related to love", but romantic as "dreaming of faraway places, pensively gazing up at stars etc.". She is an eminently practical woman, but she also likes music, so it's not completely out of the question. I wonder if putting a hint of such a thing into a fanfic is out of character or not?

[jtav]

I can see it. Particularly before she left home.



I've agreed to write a bit of Miranda/Liara erotica as part of a bet and to get some practice in before I get to that point in Persistence. Would that be any interest in a link, keeping in mind that this is mostly an excuse for me to refine my ability to write femslash?

[Prudii Aden]

I thought Gibbed's editor might be able to do it, but doesn't seem that way.



For the 'romantic' side? Why not? She appreciates music and I'm pretty damn sure she's got a well developped aesthetic sense, so I don't see how the odd flight of whimsy would be OOC.

Sure. Read your latest chapter.  Very nice.

She probably has an appreciation for beauty, or an interest in the arts/culture(s)

Im not sure if one can say Miri has a romantic side. After all, the engine room isnt very romantic at all. 

We can see in ME3 how the relationship develops, maybe Miri will show us her romantic side, but for now all we have is a love scene in an unromantic place.

I'm glad Miranda doesn't have a stereotypical romantic side. Even in real life I find a lot of that crap to be unnecessary and superficial. Love shouldn't be about emotions, it's about commitment and actions.

I think emotions are still nice, though.

Though, things that define 'romantic' are debatable and subjective. I wouldn't say Miranda lacks a 'romantic side' b/c her version of what is romantic isn't inline with popular ideals.

What would her ideas of what is romantic be, then?

I agree with you. I just think that our definition of romance is a little more flexible that the emotion-blinded feel good ideal upheld by popular culture today.

I don't see what's so bad about Miranda getting a tattoo. In fact, it makes sense in a twisted way, seeing that she never liked her perfection. So the tattoo would be her 'kicking out' at her father in a way. Of course, a full-backed dragon isn't gonna sit well with me either, and neither is a s**tload of tattoos, but a winged heart (or whatever the equivalent 200 years on)would be rather okay on her.

Help me out here guys. I don't want my current game to be a perfect one. Who should be the token death? I'm thinking Jacob, Kasumi (the third member of my trio), or Mordin. I want something that will have real emotional impact for Miranda since her overconfidence will be the cause.

Option 3 is for scoundrels. Beyond that, it's up to you.

I absolutely love Miranda's character. I'm on my second playhtrough, with a Renegade male Shepard. In ME1, he romanced Liara (also a favorite). Should I:
- Stay faithful to Liara, not romance Miranda at all.
- Move on with Miranda, forget all about Liara.
- Get it on with Miranda, rekindle romance with Liara in LotSB.
- Create another male Shepard, on a third playthrough - Paragon - to be either with Miranda, or Liara, exclusively.

Just wondering, what's the best scenario in you guys' opinion... is she a better romance option if Paragon or Renegade? I'm asking because, I want to get the best of Miranda, I think she's awesome, but still find a way to keep that ME1 romance, even if on a different playthrough.

Thoughts, please?

Apart from what jtav said (which I agree with):

I think she is suited best to a Shepard who's not extreme in his alignment, i.e. not a pure Paragon nor a pure Renegade. A pure Paragon she wouldn't respect, and a pure Renegade she wouldn't fall in love with. I also think the Renegade options in her romance are better than the Paragon ones, but you'll hear differring opinions on that.

As for what to do with your ME1 LI, it's up to you. I'm not looking forward to what Bioware will do with conflicting romances in ME3, so I almost always create different playthroughs (all through ME1 and ME2) for different LIs - i.e. your last option.

We also love Miranda. But you knew that

Jacob would be the obvious choice if you're going for emotional impact. Mordin, second choice - wouldn't be quite as bad because he's near the end of his life anyway. Kasumi, because she's really not made for a mission like this and is most like an innocent of all team members. Hard choice.... I'd probably choose Kasumi.

@LesEnfantsTerribles:
I meant romantic not in the sense of having to do with love, but of having an emotional attitude to aspects of the world, like in romanticism. For instance, where would her sense of what is beautiful be most likely to evoke strong emotions in her?

You know, I wonder what will happen if Shepard "forgets" to break up with Miranda and romances Liara in LotSB?



LET, I agree with you. She feels a compulsion to be useful.

I hope he gets his as* beat and dropped by both of them.
