Not something...complex.

Dude, Taboo is right. Sequestered together in a warm cabin somewhere surrounded by snow? As long as they have supplies and power (and given this is the miri thread, I could see some of you headcanoning starvation, you silly grimdarkers), cold is romantic as can be.

Not starvation. A zombie attack.
Ever see Dead Snow?

The last thing Shepard needs is Miranda's head splitting from her body and walking away.

Miranda's head removing itself from her body and turning into a grotesque, upside-down spider creature.

Welp, I'm having nightmares.

Miranda, in at least one dream sequence?

Only if she dies.
And she never does in my games.

No no. I mean like having one specific dream pertaining to your respective LI.
They don't have to die. They simply have to...not be saved in the dream.
I'm hoping you'd take that over Billy the Kid...

Yes, as would any sane and rational person.
Out of all the forced "emotion" in ME3, the kid is the single worst part.

And that's true, but it's still murder. Kahoku has done nothing wrong or immoral, he's simply carrying out his duty. Cerberus kills him purely out of self-interest. If I kill someone because they know I broke the law and that their continued existance will result in me facing consequences, I'm murdering them. Cerberus is no different.
I'll concede that it's a sticky question, and that's why I'm curious as to where you all think Miranda falls into it, and what she thinks of it.

What did she DO to Veetor? O_o

Miranda is not a particularly nice person. She seems to have a distate for pointless violence "Interrogation is sometimes necessary but this is just pointless cruelty" but she is more than capable of murdering in cold blood.
Was Wilson really that much of a threat? Against Miranda, Shepard and Jacob? Not really, I suspect she already knew everything he could have said and decided executing him on the spot was the most expedient way of dealing with him.
I wonder why everyone assumes their playthrough is canon. My Shepard never said those words, keeping the base was not against his moral ideals.dtrain24 wrote...
As in during the Suicide Mission, the Illusive Man was going against Shepard's moral ideals to destroy the base?
Effectively betraying humanity in the process.

Yeah, the email and the slides save her presence in ME3 from being a total failure, but nothing can repair the absence of a Miranda/Cerberus arc, because had she had a significant impact on the big picture there, we would know about it. I was talking with Elyvern yesterday about how Miranda and Shepard were equals in ME2 and how ME3 destroyed that.jtav wrote...
I just finished a game where I romanced the VS and it really drove home how much the email and slides did for Miranda. Not that I wouldn't like more Miranda content, but I know now that Shep was only seeing a piece of the puzzle and she was also leading a crack team while fretting over Ori. And I know she's working on something significant post-war. The team will never get that.
I think the turning point was when TIM let himself implanted with Reaper tech. Until then, nothing he did benefitted the Reapers. As I see it, he was too intelligent to let the indoctrination gain control over him for all those years. Indotrination subtly subverts, it doesn't control until the final stage, and TIM's the kind of person who would see when anything benefitted the Reapers even in a roundabout way. Only in the end the Reaper influence caused him to believe that letting himself implanted would help him gain control over them. Only then he was lost.flemm wrote...

Illusive man is certainly a "good guy" in ME2 comparing to what he is in ME3, (he also has the glowing eyes from ME2 as well) my question was, is he in Reaper control in ME2 as well? if so why does he helps Shepard (by bringing him back) take down the Collectors and try to stop (delay) the Reapers. Don't know but this is confusing...
Well, the idea seems to be that there is an element of indoctrination going back to the origins of Cerberus, but it doesn't really "take over" until some time towards the end of ME3 (because what Henry is doing on Sanctuary really does pose a threat to them, hence why the Reapers attack the facility).
It's really not all that coherent. Because, up until the last minute, Cerberus is actually doing things that are detrimental to the Reapers (at least potentially). And in ME2, definitely.
To the extent that they are doing anything pro-Reaper, it's that they are getting in Shepard's way. But, of course, Shepard wouldn't even be there without Cerberus. So... meh.

And Miranda's epilogue slides and everything else. I agree that all the revelations come very sudden, but there wasn't really another option for an unplanned DLC like the EC than to add exposition at this point, and the EC made an excellent attempt at damage control. The Catalyst as a god-like authority figure is really the only remaining problem.krukow wrote...

What my real hope is is that all this DLC will be good enough to make some the bad parts of the game appear less so.
oh, right. Sorry.
I have her as an independent consultant in biosynthetic engineering (post-Synthesis), becoming famous for things others say can't be done - or shouldn't be done. Shepard comes back and becomes an archaeologist and historian, the first chronicler of the new era. Both use false identities of course.jtav wrote...
I kind of like her disappearing, maybe faking a suicide, and working as a scientist. Shep too. (Hey, Destroy-ers aren't the only ones who can wave away the bits they don't like.

It may be hard to be equal to a living legend, but Miranda had her own legendary achievement in ME2. All that was needed was an impressive role and presence in the Cerberus plot...
Ah yes, I almost forgot I wanted Miranda and Shepard to take over Cronos Station. Probably too far from civilization to serve as a permanent home, but as a base of operations it's nice.fiendishchicken wrote...

Hell, they could get a house on Rannoch with the quarians. Be next door neighbors to Tali and Garrus.
They aren't the settle down type. They'll have a Citadel Apartment, a home in New South Wales, and an Illium apartment.
Along with the Intai'sei settlement.
And Cronos Station, after they've requisitioned it from the alliance.
