Anyone interested in some Multiplayer?


What system?


360

I don't have a Mic though. Getting one tomorrow. Also, I'm currently playing a Vanguard. I've been informed of how....not the best choice that is but I don't have many other classes at the moment. Want to try and get a Project Phoenix after feindishchicken showed me how epic they are...

Miranda NEEDS Lash and Smash in ME3. It could protentially break the sexy scale.

Cool. I'm one the 360 too. I'll send you a friend request.

Miranda NEEDS Lash and Smash in ME3. It could protentially break the sexy scale.


Only for combat though. I don't think it would be practical for other... less hostile activities.

Does the relationship strike anyone else as strained in ME3, particularly during the Citadel vidcall? I played the romance and non-romanced versions back to back and Shepard seems more impatient in the romance.


Shepard wants to help her and she's keeping him at arm's length. He has no idea where she is or what she's doing and the fact that she's being vague about what's going on doesn't help matters. Warning her that Cerberus' top assassin is gunning for her and getting "Okay Shepard, talk to you later." really doesn't help matters. The control chip conversation to me at least sounds like the sort of thing you'd admit to someone right before you embark on a mission that you're not planning on coming back from. 

She doesn't want him worrying about her so he can focus on the war. He's concerned about her but is too nice to say anything. Both of them are living with the delusion that "maybe after this is all over" is going to be an option for them. 

And a question germane to an idea I'm kicking around. Would Miranda have any problem sleeping (as in actually sleeping) with her partner? The relationship is new, but not casual and Miranda is physically safe and not on the run.

 

With Shepard? Probably not, going on the suicide mission along with everything else they've been through together gives the impression that they're pretty comfortable with each other.

I can see Miri using Lash for something other than combat as well....

Miranda: Shepard, come to bed. *In a seductive Pose*

Shepard: Not now, Miranda. I have to go over these reports.

Miranda: *Uses Lash to pull Shepard onto the bed* I wasn't asking. *Grins* It was an order, not a suggestion. Those reports can wait.

I did. It's just a recap. I posted this again because Miri having the ability to use Lash reminded me of this.

Charisma requires intelligence. At least in the capacity that Shepard has.

Also, for the amount of tactical information that he is capable of, he's no slouch either. You also don't reach the rank of Commander by being a ****** either. He could easily make Captain one day. But my Shepard isn't staying in the military.

I also don't think Miranda is going to be dating Forrest Gump either, so she's got a fair grasp on what he's capable of.

But your Shepard is also as smart as you want him to be.

Just noticed this old post. You know, I've always been annoyed at how hard it is to play a smart Shepard. He always ruins it by some totally ****** lines. Notable case: the ME3 prologue. How am I to reconciliate that with an IQ above 80? And to make the insult complete, he goes on to express above-average knowledge in one of the very few fields I am indifferent to: economics (ME2, Indentured Service assignment). Grrr.....it is as if the writers made Shepard with the explicit purpose of ruining my roleplaying.

Is it just me, or does she look older in the slide? In a good way.

Not that I noticed, no. Too bad it's somewhat blurred.

What I meant was Who said it the Reapers are the only ones able to move the thing? : /

Have you seen the size of that thing? Frankly I'm surprised even the Repers moved it. What did it take, all of them pushing?

Now tell me how a bunch of regular joes are going to manage to do that?

And if you say "no it can move on its own" I direct you to the fact that organics don't have a clue how the Citadel really works (Keepers did all the heavy lifting) and it will still be a while before we figure it out enough to know which one's the go pedal and which one's the brake. To say nothing of the damage incurred by the beam firing.

Maybe it can't even move anymore.

Moving the Citadel should be easy. Take a few eezo cores of a size the Reapers use and fit them into the Citadel. Use them to reduce the Citadel's mass. Calculate a trajectory to the next relay, dock a tug with a strong thruster  at...hmm...the same place the Crucible was docked, accelerate it to a specified velocity and let Newton's first law do the rest.

The big question is: can the Citadel travel through a relay? I think it must be able to, otherwise the Reapers couldn't have moved it to Sol that fast.

I can't see why she would. I can also see that she would, just as a personality trait. It's totally up to you. If you want to write about this, I can see no reason why you couldn't. The same the other way round.

Quick question; What rank is Shepard in ME3 does anybody know? Is s/he still an Lieutenant Commander?


It’s not stated; theoretically she (or I suppose he for the most of you) could be a Staff Commander.


Theoretically?

I had mixed feelings. Nolan is a very talented filmmaker, so it's never a waste of time with him. Plenty of impressive sequences. But, unlike TDK, I thought this one was a lot of sound and fury ultimately signifying not a whole heck of a lot.

Wow. That's pretty much my sentiment. :P

Agreed.


Really? She loves him. He loves her. But I don't think Shepard is the only person she could have a strong and happy romance with. The idea is rather sad, actually. She'd mourn, but I'd think she'd find someone eventually.

Ah that discussion again...

I am of the opinion they can't accelerate the Citadel as much as they couldn't accelerate the Asteroid of Arrival: Their eezo core is simply not large enough to open a "mass-free corridor" that big.


Not that it would be important: Even if the Reapers have their way of moving it, that doesn't change the fact that it's ****** poor writing: "They moved the Citadel to Earth as soon as they heard about the Crucible".  

Sure, it's a great idea to move it to Earth! That planet that will soon be attacked by all of the galaxies' forces is probably the best place to defend it! 

A very poor attempt at wrapping up the Crucible that has to dock to the Citadel and the motto Take Earth back. 
"How do we wrap up both plots?" "Oh, I know! The Reapers moved it to Earth!" :wizard:

I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of finding someone else. Perhaps it would be as strong and as happy a relationship as the one with Shepard, maybe stronger (things seem pretty strained in ME3 anyway), but I don't think it could ever be as meaningful. Romantic or not, Shepard seems to be the only person to have some form of positive emotional influence on her. I could see someone having a chance after Shepard, but not before. If that makes sense.

Sure, she will find someone. Maybe even someone she would marry. And she will be happy.

However, I am still of the opinion that she won't be as happy as she would have ever been with Shepard and I am sure she won't ever forget him.

Nope to her ever being with anyone but Shepard. Either they both live and are together, or they both die and are together. No half-measures.

I find this "There can be only one" philosophy annoying. Just because people don't like the idea of (insert LI) being with someone else, they make these absolute declarations that there can be no one else as special as Shepard. Bah. If Shepard dies and Miranda survives, she'll eventually move on. Everything else would be mentally unhealthy.

I'm tempted to write a story where Miranda is happy with someone else just to make the point.

Well, you never forget those you love. That scar will always be there for her. And how she met Shepard will be a story she always tells her kids in a wistful voice. Not sure Shepard is the best possible match, or at least not all Sheps. My enjoyment of the relationship is too dependent on me revising Shep to believe that.

It's not that I don't like the idea. I don't. 

I know it would be mentally inhealthy for Miranda. That's why she'd be dead.
Same with Shepard.

Depends on the Shepard; A purely renegade Shepard would probably repulse Miranda. But overall Miranda seems to be the best match for Shepard.

Exactly, the same with Liara or any other LI. At this point of their life, Shepard might seem to be the only one, but that's unrealistic IMO. It's not like Miranda won't cherish these moments if Shepard were to pass on, she'll learn from them - be less "cold" in certain situations, etc. If I was to ropeplay a Shepard that ended up dying, first thing he would want is for her to be happy, regardless of them being a relationship or not. To say they're the best match and that if they're not together or they'll only be happy if they die together... seems one dimensional to her character. She might end up being with someone more "normal", if that's a good word to use compared to Shepard and that might be appropriate for that time of her life.

And how many Reaper-sized eezo cores do we have floating around after the war? Oh and by the way I'm interpreting that to mean cores the size of Reapers themselves and not the size of their cores. Regardless you're going for the push option it seems and like it's been said before this isn't Arrival where you just push a big rock around.

It's not insurmountable, obviously. But short-term,  that thing isn't going anywhere.

I think it needs to go through relays as well though honestly I think that's dumb. Then again, moving it to Earth is ridiculous in the first place.
