The Garden scene at the end, I don't kno what that is. I would have rathered Joker crash in a place where he could repair the Normandy lollll....

I think it's supposed to say "Galactic civilization is gone, time to reboot and start anew from tech level zero. Needless to say, I reject that interpretation.

People don't like the Synthesis ending for number of reasons: It was marketed as the perfect ending, but includes Shepard's death, and is essentially the cradle baby of Casey Hudson and the Hologram Child. Also, it's not that synthesis promotes self-improvement, it's that it promotes self-improvement as the true goal of the game. We weren't fighting to evolve. We were fighting to simply live. I try not to overthink what Casey and Mac were going for in the end. They clearly needed pruning by other writers and without that, we got that ending.

No, we were fighting to stop the Reapers. Given that all the options do that, the endings are defined more by their side effects. The taking a step forward in evolution is a beneficial side effect. 

Miranda overcomes her infertility. There was no indication it was permanent or irreparable. Worse case, she'll get some1 else to have her child, it'll suck, it won't be exactly what she wants but it'll be half her and half whoever she wants to spend her life with. She deserves that.

Indeed, it makes no sense that she can't overcome this. But that's headcanon. When first introduced by the LotSB dossier, it was quite suggestive, and it comes up by implication in her long death scenario in ME3. We've been fighting the writers in this, and it's not the only aspect where Miranda is concerned. The writers' reactionary attitude to these things has never ceased to annoy me.

Edit: Obligatory top-of-the-page Miranda picture:

Sorry if this has been addressed before - does anyone know what the non-Cerberus symbols on her suit represent?

This has been asked often. And never answered by anyone.

In my head canon, I see Miranda as...ok, this is gonna sound wierd but I see her as the physics equations I used to solve in high school. You would always get these scenarios where a ball is rolling down a frictionless surface or working in enviroments that didn't include all the real-life variables. Miranda was designed by a person who saw her in a vacuum. He didn't see her in a real setting, reacting, changing, learning in a real setting. In those physics equations, it was always a ball falling in the sky, not a bird with wings, or a person with a parachute. Those objects, they adjust and land safely, instead of hitting the ground hard like the ball.

That's a very interesting analogy. I don't think I ever would've thought of that. I don't know what that says about Lawson (wouldn't want him as an egghead with his head in the clouds of theory) but I can see what you're saying.

I have a small question for you guys that has been bugging me. I'm having a hell of a time trying to imagine Miranda without her catsuit, Do you have ideas how she would look like?

Some pictures:





In my epilogue, I have her in a white loose-fitting dress somewhat similar to that in the second picture, both because I love the image and because it fits the Crystal Spires and Togas trope I want people to associate with the scene. 

There are also some NSFW pictures among my favorites on deviantart.

Yeah, really.


On an unrelated note, I have updated my post about Miranda DLC to include Yannkee's suggestion about a reunion scene. I put it at the end of the wish list, as it seems like an appropriate final note.

Link to the post:

http://social.biowar...9/1772#10778625


Updated list:

Miranda in ME3 needs some DLC

1) More missions with Miranda
We think Shepard should be able to ask Miranda to join up after her mission on Sanctuary, and that she should help lead the assault on TIM's base. Shepard and Miranda should finish this together.

Another possibility would be Shepard fighting alongside Miranda to take out Cerberus installations either before or after Sanctuary. We want to see Miranda working as a leader and operative.

2) Romance
We would like to have a fully-implemented romance scene, and to be able to invite Miranda aboard the Normandy. This last part is important, as an expression of trust and support. Shepard and Miranda should share some "pillow talk" after the romance scene.

The final flashback should recognize Miranda, if romanced, along with all the other romances that are currently excluded.

3) Endgame
We would like to see Miranda make an impact on the endgame in terms of plot options or war assets. Miranda's survival should matter.

4) Closure
We feel there are significant character traits and story arcs related to Miranda that don't receive sufficient attention in ME3.

The lack of any dialogue addressing Miranda's view of TIM's new, more extreme tactics feels like a glaring omission, given her previous allegiance to the organisation. We would like to hear Miranda talk about her work with Cerberus in the past, how she feels about it now, and what her goals are moving forward.

We would like to see her embrace her origins and outgrow her insecurity about her genetic enhancements following the confrontation with her father.

5) Reunion
Shepard and Miranda should be reunited onscreen after the game's ending in any scenario where both characters survive.

It's OK. It happens to all of us. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Nah, just the face is modelled on her. Yvonne Strahovski is definitely more 'slender', giving her a taller look.

Not that I'm against anyone posting pictures of her...

@Ares91: Just headcannon it away. It doesn't make much sense either way.

I did that myself. In my headcanon, about a year after the end of the Reaper War, Thomas & Miranda lead a rescue mission to pick up the Normandy Crew (I wonder if maybe they wound up on Zorya- for those who don't remember, that's the location of Zaeed's LM- only problem is there's no relay in that particular system), plus Oriana who's to be the Maid-of-Honor in the wedding and on the way back to Earth, Miranda tells Thomas she's pregnant.

Since jtav didn't post a link to Chapter 4 of "Brave New World" after she finished the chapter, I'll do it.

Affirmative. He's my canon male, named after myself.

[Nightwriter]

Those are all more skimpy outfits with comic book sized boob poppage, though.

I'd like to see her in business casual. She could probably pull off something expensive and formal, and wear it totally casually.

Like this.

Or this.

exactly what i'm doing when i have some time to play my PS3. I switched PSN accounts, so i started it all over again.

ME2 feels... so right.

[Ares91]

@Nightwriter OK true I agree with you but fanboys dont really make drawings like that they tend to make stuff like we posted. And he asked for Miranda images not what we think she would wear.

I already have far too many as it is, but thanks.

I've written Miranda as wearing a leather jacket. I was picturing something I'm sure Yvonne has worn on Chuck (with a fairly high collar), or like Beckett in Castle.
