Who here has two LIs, mainly Miri and Liara? How do you do it? How do you make an alternate Mass Effect run, and still remain a Mirimancer? How does it not confuse you? I need to know ASAP.

Come on, My Commander John Shepard is like Captain Kirk or 007. He has a lot of experience with women, and sheploo ran with a tough crowd back on Earth. He had to have lost it when he was young. But Miri is special, she's the first one (and only one) he was truly passionate with. Everyone else was a one night stand or blowing off steam. <3

Shepard isn't a starship captain or a secret agent with total autonomy. He's a graduate of the most strenous and taxing special forces training program in the history of modern warfare. He would have had about as much free time as a special forces operator in Afghanistan would get now. The amount of downtime he'd have to develop a relationship to the point where it could get passionate or kinky is negligible. I'm not saying Shepard's even close to being a virgin, but I can't see him having too many encounters outside of drunken encounters at random clubs and bars like you mentioned. Shepard only gets the total freedom we're used to him having now in ME1 after he becomes a Spectre. 

Miranda would have much more freedom to do what she wants because a) she's a civilian free of the regulations and constraints of the military (Cerberus' cell structure pre-ME3 wouldn't allow for overly tight control from the top) she's a high ranking agent of Cerberus with plenty of material resources at her disposal. If Miranda meets a guy (or gal) she likes at a club or on assignment, she's free to take a few weeks off to go on a wild fling with them. If Shepard's in the same situation, he gets one night with them and the next day he's shipping out again.

Hmm, I'm surprised anyone would think Miranda falls into the uncanny valley more in ME3 than 2. Her hairstyle still looks stupid, but at least it looks more like hair. Almost everyone in 3 has a better looking face and eyes and skin texture, so she's pretty good there.

I think the model's failure to do Yvonne Strahovski's face justice can mostly be blamed on the hairstyle. She would look so much better with it falling down and framing her face instead of trying to get as close to the back of her head as it can. Like the very first picture on the first page. It's too bad video games can't quite do that kind of hair yet.

The issue for me was the animation. Like I said, in stills Miranda actually sometimes looks better in ME3 but there are moments where the animation just seems wrong. During the first meeting on the Citadel, there are points in the conversation where her jaw and mouth are moving but the upper part of her face either doesn't seem to match or isn't moving at all. I don't find the animation issues that surprising considering Bioware couldn't even be bothered to assign the resources to create a new outfit for her.

Just ignore Liara, and choose the lower options during her forced dialogue.

I was running two PTs up to ME2. I just treated them as different canons. For me the PT where I romanced no one in ME1 and Miranda in ME2 was canon and the one where I romanced Ashley was AU. 

[Landon7001]

DID ANYONE ACTUALLY FIND MIRANDAS ME 3 ROMANCE FULFILLING?

[jtav]

I think there's a lot of room for variation in Shep's sexual history. I have one that would have done iPartners, another that was married and divorced, and another that I'm not sure notices non0Miranda people as sex-objects. The divorcee is the only one I RP'd as dumping Miranda, ironically enough.

[yesikareyes]

Oh, I can never do that! I must have them both but choose Miranda in the end always Well, more love for me keeps me sane!

[jtav]

What do you mean "how do I keep myself sane?" I have lots of Sheps. My current Shep romances Traynor and she's just as real as my Miranda!Shep.

THE TING IS, EVEN IF UR IN LOVE WITH A CHARACTER LIKE I AM W ASHLEY, FROM THE START, ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD THAT IN SUBSEQUENT PLAYTHROUGHS YOU END UP NEEDING TO TRY OTHER LIS OUT THAT U ALSO LIKE....

MY MAIN SHEP IS FAITHFUL TO ASH ALL THE WAY THYOUGH

MY 2ND MAIN SHEP HAS ASH IN ME 1, MIRI IN ME 2, THEN DECIDES ON ASH IN ME 3

MY 3RD MAIN SHEP IS SAME AS 2ND BUT DECIDES ON MIRANDA IN ME 3

MY 4TH MAIN SHEP JUST GOES W LIARA ALL THE WAY THROUGH

GET IT?

You have so many different Lis-- Oh what the hell, it's different on my part. Miranda has been my LI with ONE Shepard named after me for 2 years. What if I start a new Character with only a Liara Romance? The only thing I'm afraid of is saying that Liara's Romance is better in the Trilogy. What if I have more connection with Liara?

Just barely. It consumes me day and night, I constantly feel the madness creeping on the edges of my mind.
It's horrible, I tell you. If only I was able to distinguish reality from fiction.

[jtav]

Then congratulations you have a new favorite. It happens.

If you're starting to doubt it now, then maybe you don't really love Miranda after all? *le gasp* MEFAN not a Miranda lover after all?? The world is ending.

Then that just means you like Liara's romance better? 

There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not sure what the issue is. You can like Miranda better as a character but still prefer the writing of Liara's and the manner in which Bioware handled it.

Like I said. Miranda has been my only Love Interest for 2 years. What if this means that I end up becoming a sell out?

I currently have 4 Sheps, each with a different LI. Thomas is with Miranda, Sarah with Sam, Daniel with Ashley and Jennifer with Liara. Doesn't bother me at all. May wind up creating a 3rd FShep even. 

Sarah, my Colonist/Ruthless (and now canon) FShep banged the Asari Consort in ME and would've "slept" with Kelly in ME2, except for some reason, I couldn't call Kelly up to the Captain's Cabin after the SM (Kelly still survived ME3).

If someone pays you to romance Liara, only then would you become a sell-out.

Come to think of it, we could start another chip-in...

Just kidding

Just pretend you have them both in a super hot fantasy cutscene threesome, MEFAN.

That's what I do with my LI's.

[yesikareyes]

@MEFAN

Loving Liara doesn't mean you are a sell-out! They are both fantastic characters in their own right. Actually, I think they are arguably the two best loves for MShep in my own opinion. Out of all the other LIs for Mshep... who spent tireless efforts to ensure your resurrection? It was Miranda and Liara. Even if you didn't romance Liara and Miranda, the dedication they've poured towards Shepard is very admirable so I'm not really surprised why my Shepard would be drawn to the both of them.

[jtav]

I have Sheps for Traynor, Miranda, and Kaidan. I think about the Miranda!Shep the most, constantly tweaking him. I'm disenchanted with Miranda, but that has only increased how much I think about her.
