Thanks. Earlier I tried a more serious tone and didn't get anywhere. I guess now we know why.flemm wrote...
It definitely feels good
I enjoyed reading your letter by the way. You made your points while maintaining a high level of amusing snark.
Very fitting

We clearly all made the wrong choice by romancing Miranda in ME2, BW clearly wanted us to go for Liara

I have. It's not bad. I still think EDI being part of the Normandy wouldn't be truely gone... just the body. Think about it? How can you separate the two? ME3 should have had one to be honest. Epilogue. I don't know...
I romanced Ashley in ME1. So my experience, from playing through the Mars mission and the hospital visits, was that the game was telling me point blank that Ash was my canon romance and I needed to get with the picture.enayasoul wrote...
I enjoyed Liara's friendship path a great deal but my male Shep "Jon" was in love with Miranda and always will be. Ashley had some interesting moments but I never felt she ever trusted him until the very end. Kind of sad actually but Shepard's humor towards Ash drunk on the floor was fun. Do they have fire alarms on the Normandy? Odd...
I really wanted Shepard to take advantage of "poker" night. Sigh that never happened!

I am put off for (mostly) no other reason, I can't overlook it. Liara is creator's pet, she usurped the role Miranda should have gotten as Shepard's primary intelligence give, and one of the reaons Miranda has been sidelined. I am not inclined to forgive that, regardless of how well she was written.Nightwriter wrote...

Seriously though, I found I liked Liara as a character in ME3 and really valued her friendship arc. I think it's kind of unfortunate that the game shoves her at you to the point that some are put off by the character.
I was very disappointed that I didn't get one for Control. What did it say?Prudii Aden wrote...

That's really quite good. The "Control" ending slide for Miranda amuses me quite a lot, and it captures her quite well I believe.
TOP SECRET
EYES ONLY
Project code-name "Platform-Shepard"
Personnel files: Miranda Lawson
Miranda Lawson was instrumental in the Cerebus project that restored Commander Shepard, and according to several sources became an intimate associate of his. Some concerns were raised about bringing Lawson into the Project, given her history with Cerebus; however, "Outreach" seems to believe that Lawson could be critical in our efforts to "recover the original Shepard data."
When debriefed as to the nature and goals of the Project, Lawson was quick to sign up. Overall she seemed—smug. She said: "I brought him back once. I'll do it again. You'll see."

Grr...I don't think there should be epilogue versions that require MP.
I think that's a little unfair. It can get aggravating sure. But I think Liara should be judged on the character's own merits just like everyone else. And being a writer favorite is not a free pass to good writing.Ieldra2 wrote...

How did the SM make it impossible exactly?flemm wrote...
No. Also, I don't think Liara really gets in the way of the role Miranda should have played in this story. Not to say that intelligence gatherer wouldn't have been a good fit, theoretically, but the SM made that impossible. The main role Miranda should have played in this story was providing additional options in the Cerberus arc (plot impact) and allowing you to roleplay away from Alliance (squad role).
If anything EDI is more the Miranda substitute than Liara, but again, a necessary evil of the SM, and not a huge issue in itself, since Miranda could provide additional "layers" of choice/outcomes, as other squad members do elsewhere in the plot.
Hence the most basic problem is the decision to remove all ambiguity from Cerberus. There's only one option (destroy it), there's no substantial opportunity to roleplay one's allegiance, and the more complex/idealistic interpretation of the organisation represented by Miranda is silenced.
So I think the real issue is the unwillingness to let Miranda be Miranda and play the role in the story that she should logically play.

Not sure I follow on what the SM has to do with it?flemm wrote...
Well, somebody needs to provide that Shadow Broker intelligence/information in all games.
As for EDI, she does the does the same for Cerberus arc. It shouldn't really be a problem, though, as Miranda should just provide something new/different above the baseline outcomes.
