I have a topic: What is the one thing you want to happen between Miranda and Shepard in ME3? Could be something romantic and sweet or just a friendly gesture between comrades. Anything you want...

I want thhem to raid Miranda's fathers cloning facility and save/adopt one of her "sisters" as a child of their own. Kinda sappy I know.

Really? All I'm after for them is for them to be able to live their life the way they want to, without some variety of galaxy encompassing doom hanging over their heads.

Nothing wrong with a little bit of sappy   -  I like that Idea      Especially is she was  about the age of say 4 or 5 and she clings shyly hiding behind shepards leg... so much D'AAAAWWWW.

The thought has of course occurred to several people here, but if at all, that's epilogue stuff.

[MsSihaKatieKrios]

At the end of the game I want to see Miri unleash her kinky sex freak side upon Shepard. ;P


But seriously speaking, I want them to be happy together. Shep as one of the Alliance admirals, and Miranda leading an Alliance sanctioned research team.

No, Miranda confronts TIMmy and burns him alive with her dat buttcheeks!
Then she takes over Cerberus.

On a more serious note though, anyone else think that the LotSB-treatment means something more concrete than a full squadmate-status?
Sure, "Casey", "Woman Number #", "I Suck", "Cough" and "dat abs" get more dialogue, but their story arcs never likely get to anywhere.
Multiple temp-missions is something more fullfilling to me, than just standing behind Shepards back and occasionally bantering about meaningless things.

Well anyway, i just hope that the absistence of Miri means a good chunk of the game´s content lost.

Ugh. You just *had* to link to one of the most tasteless ones. I request its removal.

You mean giving pertinent advices and her opinion about what's happening ?
Sorry I prefer to have interresting characters I don't want to punch in the face everytime they talk in my team.

Miranda should be a squadmate because I want to know how she feels and what she thinks about the events in ME3, not just about her father, her sister or Cerberus.
Miranda deserves to be involved in more than this secondary plot.

[Altered Idol]

I would have loved Miranda to return as a member of your squad but from all the rumours I've been hearing, thats not going to be the case which I think will disappoint alot of fans. ME3 is the end of a saga and to introduce new squad members into the final chapter at the expense of established characters has really annoyed me.

I'm sincerely glad that Tali and Garrus are returning as squad members but I'm gutted that out of 12, only 2 are confirmed as returning squadmates (and they were already returning in this game), yet out of 6 in the first game, 4/5 are slated to return. Its a bit of a kick in the teeth to those people like me who really enjoyed the characters from ME2.

I know the line that because they could potentially die, this would cause alot more work but Tali and Garrus could die yet they are squadmates. I understand not all those in ME2 would return as squadmates, but I would have liked a couple more join the team. You are looking to save the entire galaxy after all.

Not sure if the full squad list is confirmed yet but if its as I understand it to be, I'm gonna be quite disappointed I feel.

Well, it was always going to be difficult to create an adequate role for Miranda that didn't involve her being on the squad for at least a significant chunk of the game. Part of that is just a function of how the game works, and part of it is the fact that the Miranda-related stuff is main plot-related as well.

I've always been open to the idea, but there are a lot of potentially problematic "if" clauses attached to such a scenario.

It's interesting to note that the writers have gone out of their way to situate Miranda's family issues along the main plot of the game. As with everything else, one can give gloomy and sunny interpretations of that, so I won't bother rehashing all of those arguments here. But it's interesting, and certainly was not a given by any means.

This combined setup is a great idea. It gives us the opportunity to wrap up several aspects of Miranda's past up in one story arc. When I first heard about it, I liked it and I still like it. The problem is the writing surrounding it, which gives the impression that Miranda's contribution to the great conflict is accidental. If there's a strong indication that the big picture was on her mind as much as her sister before she embarked on her mission, even if we only get to know that in hindsight, I'll be satisfied. The best chance for that lies in that hint about her endgame contribution.

I dislike the situating Miranda's family issues along that arc. Think it is going to feel very cheap unless there's something big standalone Cerberus stuff she's involved in that we are missing.

Among other things. For one thing, I don't think we even have a hint as to her endgame contribution. Been a while since we discussed that specific detail, but I believe we misinterpreted it initially, and it has nothing to do with the endgame.

Anyway, at this point, I'm not too interested in doing a lot more speculation. We'll see the game soon enough.

I think it's the best place to situate them. However, if her involvement is limited to that, I think we are all in agreement that that will be inadequate.

Don't worry, I have my panda suit ready and everything

I find Miranda's role in ME3 ridiculous. I hate what they've done with her, and the only reason I will play to the game is to see the conclusions to the main story and Miranda's romance. I'm sure this game will be a GOTY and will be very successful, but for me it's a big disappointment.

I still maintain that her confrontation with *spoiler character* was not a coincidence. We know that *spoiler character* wants the research done at *spoiler location* and so, it is entirely possible, probrable even, that the reason Miranda ends up fighting with him is because that, the research, is part of her contribution to the endgame.

Well, imo, the reason *spoiler character* is at *spoiler location* is *spoiler*.

LoL, just kidding

The funny part is that I actually had no trouble at all understanding what you meant

Anyway, you could be right. I don't think that's what Ieldra was referring to, though, as far as the "hint" is concerned.

There is, unfortunately, circumstantial evidence her involvement is limited to her mission, and no evidence to the contrary. I think we're looking at an arc where Miranda is integrated into normal humanity and gets the family she hopes for. Her genetic gifts won't go away, but she'll now be using them in socially approved ways, probably as an Alliance officer/agent.

Well, in point of fact, there's no evidence for that either. So, meh. But you never know.

[jtav]

There's one line. There's also the *spoiler* where she confesses what she wants and can't have. Assuming all versions of Miranda have the same desires, you do a happy ending for the character by giving her what she wants.

I'll just bold that and point out that the line may not mean what you're afraid it means. (Also, that is not actually what she says.)

Not to mention that there's no trace in the script of how Miranda gets from point A ("can't have") to point B ("can have"). So... I wonder what's up with that?

I want my Shepard and Miranda to be worried about each other and stay in communication. And before the final battle say they love each other

Exactly this. Though I don't want Miranda to be so worried about Shep that her personality becomes radically different from what it was in ME2.  

I'm also of the mindset that once you've been together for awhile, you should know that you love each other without having to say it. So I don't view them having to say it to each other, until the final battle that is. When there's an excellent chance that one or both of them will not make it out alive, then by all means, say "I love you" to each other. At that point, I may be more upset if they didn't say it.

Well i was never hugely keen on re-visiting the family issues again. I'll accept closing the chapter on it as long as it doesn't impinge on her involvement in the main Cerberus arc. I'm worried they've limited her to a bastardised crossbreed that i'll find very unsatisfying.
