@wright:
The problem is that I could accept her resignation as in-character if it was based on "I know too much about TIM and what he'd do with it. That's going to be more risk than benefit to humanity." But it isn't. If you consider her betrayal line, It is a moral judgment made in a moral domain that isn't even based on actual harm but on notions of the sacred, against a strategic reasoning that suggests that unless new facts materialize, it would be highly useful to keep the base. That's so totally not Miranda that I can't see any defense of it as valid.

(At least you can get her resignation without the "betrayal" line. That's at least bearable. The downside is now that you've got *no* explanation for her radical change of allegiance)

Yeah i agree betrayal line is silly. It is part of the wider problem that Shepherd isn't allowed to choose his own reason for destroying base. I would love there to be i don't trust TIM with the base option. However without that i just have to use my own head canon at this point and therefore getting Miranda's resignation line without the betrayal is a major boon to me.

I um think I might have made a mistake or two with Matt's playthrough. Yeah, that's it.

What mistakes did you make?

- and :wub:indeed.
I'm surprised how absolutely stunning she looks here and how much difference the higher resolution makes. It's as if the picture will jump out of my screen and become real the next moment.

I think this will become my canon run. And I'll make more screenshots as I play. I'm not yet past Horizon.

@bold-

You're exciting me.

[Ieldra]

Why? Miranda wouldn't be much impressed with the real you and me...

[AgitatedLemon]

...And there goes the excitement.

[jtav]

Hmm. Should I replay Matt who, all kidding aside, I'm quite happy with, or Lawrence my failShep?

[Ieldra]

Well....actually, it would be exciting to know that such a woman exists in the world.

FailShep? What has he failed at? Other than keeping Miranda alive? Anyway, if your main Shepard is Matt, then replay him. Or don't if it's not important enough.

Indeed It is an exiting possibility .

On the off chance that a woman such as Miranda may exist (Minus the Sci Fi bits and pieces)...


I could dig that.

Definitely one of the better armor shots.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

Like these:wub::




I haven't taken a Screenshot from a scree yet.

I like those as well.

I think the top one is the better, though.

I have no doubt there are many Mirandas on this world....minus the biotics and genetic enhancements, of course.

To the guys (and maybe a few of the ladies): They're out there. Go find one if you want one in your life. Just be prepared to fight hard to win her over and to keep her.

As I stated earlier, I know where I got my attachment to her character.

(Not counting the AAP armor), which suit do you like better for Miranda? White or black?

I have 2 Shepards one being my canon called Malcom Shepard (Malcom being my real first name)
He is a Paragade Vanguard who take no SHYT from mercs. Love his crew to the death would do anything for them. The love of his life being Miranda Lawson. He is the kindest most caring man to his crew who but fear by evil doers ( I know that sounds lame lol) but I'm happy with my Shepard can't wait to import into Mass Effect 3. Also he isn't all nice though, when his loved ones in danger or threatened that when he becomes renegade.
My another Shepard is a 100% renegade FemShep who is currently trying to seduce Miranda

White, I like the textured look more than the smooth. The dark just doesnt look right to me.

[Swaggacide]

I prefer her black outfit

Same for me, just replace Vanguard with Sentinel, and Malcom with John (I suck at names ffs).

I'd hate to be the poor bastard who thought it was a good idea to try and mess with Miranda or one of Shepard's friends.

Same here, for the same reasons. I like the textured look, and the hexagonal pattern looks good imo.

I just posted this in the "Miranda or Ashley" thread. I think it might provoke some discussion here, so I'll repost it.

And I wouldn't romance her if I didn't think she can grow beyond that attitude. If the writers won't let her grow beyond it, *then* I'll disown her. I have my suspicions of why the writers made her this way, and I do not support the underlying value system at all. But if she grows into what she could be, then it's all been worth it. 

@bolded- How do you mean?

I suspect that her existence was intended to provide an Aesop about the supposed evils of creating life. For that reason, she could not be written as confident about her enhancements and she had to suffer from the fact she's genetically enhanced. After all, there would be no point in calling it evil if it didn't cause suffering, right?

What they likely overlooked is that this totally misses the point. The reason creating life is felt to be immoral by many people is that they feel it usurps the domain of their god(s), or to put it less religiously, that human biology is one of those things that should remain untouchable by human craft to some extent. That it causes suffering is just an unfounded hypothesis with no experimental validation, a kind of wishful thinking people adopt because they wish the creation of life to be immoral. It actually is as silly as Zkyire says it is.

My suspicion that this was, and may still be, the writers' intention is the main reason why I'm really worried about how Miranda's story arc will go in that regard. Because I don't just disagree with that mindset, I count myself an enemy of it and at the start of ME2, I had some hope that it would be subverted by Miranda's story. That was before I realized how thoroughly Paragon-centric the writing is and how much traditional notions of the sacred figure into ME's Paragon mindset at times.

Black for sure. Even though it looks like a latex suit, it hides her camel-toe better.
