I don't mean to hate because I still love Miranda but in ME3 I have very little interest in her at all, I honestly find her rather boring.
Maybe BW does hate Miranda I don't know I just wish she had more than she was given because she is so much better than that.
But one good note is that she doesn't end up on Gilligans Island

Really even more so than the bull**** catalyst?

Is anyone else pissed that their crew had teleporting powers and never told them?

I'm more pissed that they used it to get on-board the Normandy in order to reach Planet Deliverance, and then not using it to come back to Earth.

In the Synthesis ending I maintain that the Normandy was destroyed when the relay's corridor collapsed. The Codex states that when a ship should suddenly drop from FTL there's a huge surge of Cherenkov radiation that can kill those onboard. Deliverance is similar to the Geth Consensus.

Miranda is my favorite female character and is truly unique. She's stunning, intelligent, caring and has a good head on her shoulders. She's naturally a good match for Shepard. I romanced her in both 2 and 3, I wouldn't have it any other way.

In cutscenes with her and Shepard, you can truly see and feel her love and admiration for him. Their words on the Citadel are genuine and deeply intertwined. The videos of Shep rejecting her relationship rekindling on Youtube are painful to watch and a sad thing to see. Her tears were the most cutting, ontop of her facial expressions.

I notice she hints and states Her love in the three infamous worded sentence to Shepard before he does to her often. Not to mention her statment of her failing to maintain her control of her feelings and sexual advances to Shepard show a real growth from her character than what it was in 2.

I'm rambling..it's late and I'm tired. Ffffffffffuuuuuuu-

I started a photoshop rendered drawing of Miranda with my tablet, I'll post it some time...

[Skullheart]

btw, who wrote Miranda in ME3?

Someone could ask them by twitter if they wanted her dead.

[mnomaha]

I think they wanted all the ME2 squaddies dead, or worse in Jacob's case. Someone remind me please, why did we play ME2? Because I'm not seeing a whole lot of reasons.

Did the ending again and picked EDI and Prothy for the Earth battle... Out came James and Liara. ROFL... wow.

I think the characters coming out of the Normandy are supposed to be the ones with the highest "relationship scores". Conversations figure into it and the total time spent on-mission with them it appears.

What, that makes no sense? Yeah...

Nice. The first scene is the best in several ways. 

[ThomGau]

Yep the first is definitely the best, there it seems Oriana is not the only thing that matters.

I love the way she looks at him when she says "No second thoughts ... ?", she is playful and maybe surprised as well then after he answered "None" she looks so passionate . They don't explicitly say "I love you" but if this is not a proof that they love each other I don't know what is.

Thank you jtav, it's always nice to wake up reading good fanfic excerpts

It's weird. I just remembered that every time I played through ME 2 I would think about picking a different LI. But before I knew it, I was in the engine room at the end. Every single time. lmao. Guess I couldn't do it.

Just thought I'd share that.

You're not the only one. I had planned to stay with Ashley and not romance anyone in ME2 with at least one of my maleSheps, but I could never do it. Miranda is just too irresistible.

And of course now in ME3 I can't break-up. Even if I could bring myself to do it - making Miranda die feels too much like giving in to the writers' favorite outcome.

Matt followed her, careful to match his illusory stride with hers. Walking, he discovered, was a chore. His body kept wanting to rush on ahead, straight into the stove or toaster. He kept walking. Not a ghost. Human. Matt. Humans walk. The kitchen was large and spotlessly white. He could imagine Henry ordering a dinner for dozens prepared here. Cooking breakfast for one seemed like showing off. “I’m surprised this place is still standing."

"The town was too small for the Reapers to bother with it. Good enough base of operations for now. And you've seen what I've done to the old offices. Say what you will about Henry. He spared no expense stocking the labs. Brynn’s ecstatic.” She brushed an errant hair from her face. “Chasing our tails trying to figure out what's going on while reducing misery as much as we can. Not nearly as much as we’d like, I'm afraid. But you? You’ve given me answers. And a thousand more questions. And something to work for.”

Her face transformed as she spoke. Fatigue and worry were swept away by passion. Energy crackled in her eyes like lightning. Matt wished he had breath to hold. This was the Miranda he loved best of all, brimming with ideas and enthusiasm. There were times he had thought that part of her was dead, buried under her terror for Oriana and hatred of her father, but here she was again, resurrected as surely as he himself had been. "What have you done to us? To yourself? A fusion of organic and synthetic. We already have confirmation of poison resistance similar to what I gave you with Lazarus, but there's no telling what else has changed.

“And you, so insistent on walking beside me even though there's no reason you couldn't just appear somewhere like you did in the QEC. If what you said is correct, you were reconstructed as data. Scarcely different from an AI with its blue box. And AIs have been nothing if not efficient. And yet, you choose the harder path.” She cocked her head to one side. "Trying to hold on to your humanity." Her eyes widened. "That’s what you've created. Even at their best, the geth sought isolation. EDI was a singular anomaly, and even she knew humans and organics were separate kinds. But you, you’re human psychologically. AIs that can think like organics. It's… amazing, frankly.”

--

“You really think there’s hope?”

“For you or Earth?

“Either.”

“Oh, Matt,” she whispered. “We all knew there would be losses. I thought that call in London would be the last I heard of you. I was half-convinced the Crucible would burn Earth to a cinder while the Reapers laughed in our faces. It’ll take decades to rebuild, but we’re rebuilding. And that’s something no other cycle can claim. Oriana will never be pulped like the colonists.” Her free hand traced the outline of his cheek. “You came back when I’d given you up for dead. I’m expanding my definition of possible.”

Oriana. He’d been an idiot, wallowing in self-pity. Miranda had lost someone too. He turned to face her. “I am so, so sorry. If I’d known Ori was going to be stranded on Mindoir—“

“You’d have done exactly what you did. Mindoir has a strong agricultural economy. Ori can be happy there. As for me…” Her voice caught and she gave Matt the same sad smile she had when she’d talked about breaking in to see him. “We knew each other for a year. More than I deserved. This is just returning to the status quo.” She turned away from him, and Matt wondered if she was wiping tears.

There's your ME2 Miranda.

Hmm.....something is subtly off about this segment. I can't put the finger on it....both parts don't flow as well as your other excerpts. Perhaps it's one of the following. If you don't mind some hopefully constructive criticism:

(1)I think the part where Miranda reflects on what Shepard has done needs expansion. She starts getting passionate about it, but then......things feel like cut off midsentence. That feeling may have something to do with (3)
(2)"More than I deserved"? I thought she'd gotten over that attitude.
(3)The comment about AIs thinking like humans makes no sense. If you don't think there's something transcendent about human individuality - and I think Miranda certainly wouldn't think that - it is perfectly possible to have an AI thinking - even feeling - like a human. Emotions are programmed responses to stimuli after all. There's nothing miraculous about it. Matt's problem would likely rather be that the hardware he's currently residing in can't process some of the data, resulting in the odd cognitive or emotional blackout. 

Anyway, looking forward to Lazarus 2.0.

[ThomGau]

Well this is understandable, who could resist the lovely Miss Lawson  ?

Personnaly, throughout the ME trilogy, she is the only LI option I love for MShep so I didn't encounter that problem.
@Ieldra: Yeah we can't do what they want us to do.
As for FShep, I like Thane. It's a shame to see what inevitably happens to him in ME3, at least he died as a hero.

@ThomGau
You could see Thane's death coming from a long way back. He's set up for a tragic romance right from the start, so I don't mind it. And his death scene is very touching (haven't seen the romanced version, that must be really sad). But yeah, femSheps have it bad. All three ME2 romances for maleShep can have a good end as far as good ends go in this game, but Jacob breaks up and Thane dies. I'm not looking forward to playing my Jacob-romancing Louise Shepard. Eh...I'll wait until the ending is fixed anyway.

Indeed he is set up for a tragic romance, you know he'll die, which is in a sense good, it conveys some sad feelings but you know, in a game in which you are *supposed* (I'm not sure if that's true anymore) to make choices, you would think you'd have the option to save him.
Fshep isn't very lucky when it comes to ME2 romances, contrarely to MShep.

Oh well my favorite one is safe and sound in the end despite the emphasis on her death.

Huh. For me, I knew as soon as I saw Miranda that I needed to romance her, consequences be damned. Of course Ashley being less than charitable at Horizon certainly helped... Never looked back. Though ME3 did make me want to get through my "faithful" Ash playthrough to see what that was like. Then the RGB happened.

[Totally Not Swaggacide]

I really like that picture of Miranda and Shepard

[enayasoul]

Has anyone not recruited Dr. Chakwas or Dr. Michel to the Normandy? I wondering if anything changes. Seems like a waste to have them on the Normandy when they could be helping out elsewhere. Do we even need a doctor?

masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Dr._Chloe_Michel#Mass_Effect_3  Did find this, however...  Hmm...

I totally gave up on my fem shep (even though i'm a jennifer hale fan, i love her other works). The fem shep romances are so..... ah........ gosh, i dunno. As a girl, I simply don't see anything really OHMAHGOSH interesting.

So I kept on playing as a male shep coz Miranda is too much of an interesting character. And everytime I try to do a different run (i have all possible multiplat versions ever, just missing ME3 for Xbox that I won't get it till it's "fixed"), my Shep is with Miranda.
