Sorry if I am interrupting anyhing, but I just wanted to share something I've been working on the last couple of days. It's in an extremely early stage, especially (and obviously) the background, but I am still experimenting with the sketch app on my Tablet and wanted to draw my vision of Miranda as The Illusive Woman. I am open to any and all critiques, though I'll go ahead and point out that I know Miranda's hand is all sorts of funky, but I haven't decided what I want to do with it yet. Also, I lifted her outfit from the Art of Mass Effect book, it's not an original idea of mine. Hope you enjoy what I've done so far!

The knowledge of control is good. It's mass murder that's the problem. Which is a reason I like Henry. He's Miranda if she were devoid of compassion. Brilliant and able to do the impossible. But he cares only for power and glory.

The irony is, had he published his research on human genetic enhancement, he would've won his place in the history books and probably the Nobel Prize or some equivalent for having given humanity a great gift.

That would mean that the technology that he developed would beyond his control. Genetic manipulation exists in 2185 but it's used to prevent genetic disease or provide minor enhancement to soldiers. Henry's managed to develop modifications that could allow humanity to advance beyond its current biological limits. Publicly releasing his invention could potentially improve the quality of life for the whole of the human race, but because Mr. Lawson has such a large ego he decides to keep his advancement to himself. Better to have a "genetic dynasty" of genetically tailored individuals of his own creation that he can flaunt over the rest of humanity rather than using his creation for something good.

Of course, of course. I just find it hard to get into such a mindset, especially in an intelligent man like Henry Lawson? What would he have to gain - long-term - by keeping it all to himself? It's not as if his daughters could ever "keep the bloodline pure", or that he could expect them to follow in his footsteps and continue things as he wanted. Miranda says he's obsessed with making his mark on human history, but keeping it all for himself will just ensure that the genetic gifts he bestowed on his daughters will be diluted in a few generations. 

Unless it's all about something else, as Elyvern has speculated in "Degrees of Inheritance"...

 Then at the FOB, Anderson is showing all these schematics that make no sense, basically saying "see this area? we just RUN as fast as we can to this place. OK? Good, lets go"

LoL. It's pretty hilarious when you put it that way

But that's basically what that whole scene was....that whole ending sequence is just an exposition in what NOT to do when you've already written a fantastic game....

Part of me likes to think they held an in-office competition, where whoever wrote the worst, most retarded ending won creative rights of the IP.

Yeah. At times I think the endings were deliberately made to ****** off as many of the fans as possible, just because it's hard to believe such a clusterf*ck of mistakes can be real. But then I think of ME:Deception.

Has anyone just looked at the PC code and figured out what checks result in Miranda living or dying?

-Romance affirmation
-Alliance resources
-Paragon/Renegade with Henry Lawson (If not applicable, then shooting Oriana)
- (Obviously) loyalty form ME2
- (Obviously), survival from ME2

Does anyone know if reading Anderson's mail about Kai Leng before speaking with Miranda in the Spectre office is a requirement?

[Dr. Doctor]

Reading the email isn't necessary.

[kookie28]

I missed a lot of French. It's ok now that I can actually use a translator.

Either that or he's afraid of what he's created on some level. The modifications he's developed work, creating individuals who are smarter, stronger, and for the most part superior to baseline human beings. Giving those enhancements to a civilization that's still struggling to come to terms with biotics might cause riots on par with what we see in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Better to have the general populace believe that genetic modification can only cure diseases and provide minor augmentations rather than dealing with the consequences of more individuals like Miranda running around.

Miranda has the 2nd largest thread. Only behind Tali. It'll be ok.

Except there has been 4 different Miranda threads, totalling almost 4000 pages in all. Tali only has the one, IIRC, and the only reason hers grew so rapidly is because hers (and Liara's) are the two that receive regular, very rapid posts.

LOL, you haven't been here two years ago. The current Tali thread is the fifth incarnation, and the third one neared 100000 (!!!) pages when it was shut down. Not that that counts for anything, since it was mostly chat.

As for the old Miranda threads, links to the first two are in the OP of the third one.

Kind of like the current one?

And whoever made that image in the OP of the third thread should get a medal.

Oh, I agree. I just read that and lol'd, because it was a funny/accurate way of putting it 

According to Weekes (if that really was Weekes in that semi-anonymous forum post, which it probably was), he had to successfully argue in favor of the squad member farewell scenes for them to even happen.

That really shows how far these guys had their heads up their *sses. I don't really mean that in an insulting way, I almost feel bad for them, but they really got it all wrong.

I'm really upset he couldn't own up to that post. I'm sorry, I believe it's 100% true. If it was fake, they wouldn't have had to take it down. And the website confirmed it was from his account yet Bioware or Weekes haven't come out and said "the account was hacked", nor have PA said they recently had a breach. Stop the freaking games, he outted the nonsense at the end of the game. 

I think it's all he could do to leak the fact that there were some disagreements within the team. Anything more and he would've been slapped by the PR people or by his bosses for being illoyal. I also believe it's 100% true.

@kookie28:
We have the same image in the OP of this thread The link to the artist is under the image in the OP of the third thread I linked.

Wow cette photo est vraiment magnifique:lol:. Heureux de voir qu'on parle ma langue natale.
Vous penser que miranda parlerai d'autre langue ?
Do you think miranda speaks other languages than english ?

[Ieldra]

@jtav:
I just read your new chapter. You hit Allers perfectly, I could hear her speak while reading. I also liked Miranda's reflection about Cerberus and the Alliance and the Ashley encounter.

@kratos0294:
It's not clear how much learning of languages is required in the ME universe. They have translation synthesizers (ME:Ascension). As a rule, I'd say Miranda knows several languages, since covert operations would require it not so much for communcation than for maintaining a cover identity.

Por supuesto que se puede hablar otros idiomas!

Yeah, she has to speak other languages. She would have been taught humanities as well as sciences as a child.

[Stalker]

Well, with a doctor in medicine you can be sure she knows Latin...

Esta seguro?  que ideomas piensas que habla? frances, espanol, latin?
yea since she is a doctor she most probably speaks or at least has a good knowledge of latin.

[jtav]

Miranda isn't a doctor.

Well, she is some kind of specialist in medicine or biology... and that understanding requires a certain knowledge of Latin.
I don't know how TIM would assign her to such a project if she doesn't have a doctor title at least... or some comparable intergalactic degree.
