I have to confess though: I was interested in Miri before I even bought ME2, and ME2 was my First Mass Effect Game. I didn't know what I was dealing with more than 2 years ago. I first saw Miri in the Shepard TV Commercial, where Shepard says, "Humans are disappearing. That can't Happen." I knew little of Mass Effect. I remember seeing how real it looked when looking at pictures of Mass Effect in a Game Informer Magazine I think in 2007 or 2008, so I was aware of Mass Effect capacity for Good CGI.
At the time I first saw Miri and first played ME2, I didn't know who Yvonne Strahovski was, I didn't know she existed until I saw her name in the Game Manuel later on, then I saw an interview on X Play.com, but that was....I think after I completed ME2 once. Hell, I didn't even know what Chuck was at the time.
Anyway, when I first saw Miri's face in that Commercial, her face, for some reason, reminded me of a Beautiful Woman with Dark Hair that you would have seen in a movie from the 60's, like in Romance Films, Musicals, Bond Films, etc.
The first time I heard her voice (I didn't know she'd have an Aussie Accent, and I didn't know her name, I think.), was when I saw her in a YouTube Video when Shepard woke up with Miri looking from above. I saw her closer too. I'm not going to lie. When she was saying 'Another dose. Now," I thought to myself, "Miranda's Hot!" or something like that (Please don't kill me.
It was more than 2 years ago, and I was 19.
).
So then I watched another video, showing the moment in time when she was talking DIRECTLY to The Illusive Man in the Prologue. I think that was also when I found out that Martin Sheen was TIM, or was it before?
I looked ME2 and Miri up on Wikipedia, because during this time my sister was playing DA:O, and I found out that both Games were made by BioWare. When I found out that there can be Romantic Relationships, and when I found out that Miri was a Potential Love Interest/Romance for a Male Shepard, I IMMEDIATELY Picked her!
I didn't want ME1 at the time. I wanted ME2 ASAP! While playing ME2, I fell in Love with Miri EVEN MORE, Looks, Intelligence, Personality, and all<3! So at first, it was her Beauty and her Voice as well (I think) that drove me to her. Then it just GREW with More Reasons, Traits, Aspects, whatever you want to call it because I can't think of the right word. This includes Intelligence, Personality, Strength, ETC!
This may be a late Screenshot of Mine, which I took several months ago, but this was when I first saw Miri, in that Commercial, more than 2 years ago:
So THIS particular Shot has a Special Place in my Heart.

Retour en haut
I don't see it as creepy or what not. I think that Mass Effect was made in such a way, that you grow a personal attachment to a certain Character.
