It would be ridiculous to lose her as a love interest because you need her at your side to defeat the reapers.

If there is an option to keep her on the Normandy, it will be for those who romanced her (or want to romance her, don't forget the new players).

THIS 100%!!!! Why would BioWare make something so rediculous? BioWare realizes how much we care for Miri, so they wouldn't make us go through such a heart wrenching decision. They want us to enjoy, not make us miserable.

It's a hypothetical question. I don't think Bioware would honestly do this but lets say they do for whatever reason regardless that Shep or Miranda is acting out of character or whatnot. You are sitting there with this question. What do you do?

As you can't predict what's coming next, I would keep her on the Normandy. And when there is the unlikely scene when she ends the relationship : I stop playing the game and I throw the box by the window.

So would I. BioWare wants us to enjoy the game, not make us miserable. Especially with our Romance with Miri Continuing.

[Melra]

Just because you don't enjoy it, doesn't mean you have to feel miserable. Not need to take it to extreme here.

See, when I see that top picture, I once again think there is something slightly off with the way they rendered Miranda's face. But I still can't quite put my finger on it, because nothing is really wrong.

Anyway, I like Miranda, but perhaps they could tweak her face slightly to make her look even more like Yvonne.

[Caihn]

The picture I use on the first wallpaper is a picture of Yvonne when she was much younger. Her face has changed a bit since.
Here is a more recent picture :

Yvonne is Beautiful either way. Wouldn't you agree?

So a serious question for the Miranda fans:

At the end of Miranda's storyline, she has the option to continue a project that would be helpful in the long run in defeating the Reapers. You are faced with two options:

1. Let Miranda take over the project but she leaves your squad and Shepard having confidence in Miranda's abilities secures her as a love interest.
2. Keep Miranda on the Normandy without the project and essentially lose her as a love interest since she feels that Shep is trying to control her like her father but retain her squad membership.

What do you do?

Of course I would let her go. No question at all about it. I would do that even were there no LI status to lose, as long as it's made clear to me she does better work on her own. I do have confidence in her abilities and her doing things independently from Shepard is something I've always wanted to see.

But it would have to be something big. If I get the impression that it's just an excuse to get her out of the team for no significant gain then I'll still do it, but I'll complain about it.

@101:
It's called an emotional conflict. Drama. Stories without conflicts are boring. We can usually be confident that things will end well, but there's never a guarantee that things won't be very bad in-between.

So my rewrites and the fc I'm doing have left me with a romantic urge? Suggestions for options to pick to get a smart!Shep and keep my blood pressure down.

You mean in ME2? As a rule, stick to the middle options unless you know the others if you want to avoid StupidShep. One option where he comes across smart is the Paragon persuade in the Indentured Service mini-assignment on Illium. That really sticks out. Almost out of character, in fact, if you consider the rest of the game. Also: get Tali exiled. I like the tone Shepard takes in the Renegade persuade, but his arguments in oth the P and R persuade are 100% pure bullsh*t. And take the Paragon persuade in the Tali/Legion conflict and side with Miranda in the Jack/Miranda conflict - the persuades are rather unconvincing. 

[The Everchosen of Chaos]

I agree and I've already done both of your suggestions: Taliis exiled and is now deceased (damn you random bullet!) and Miranda is my girlfriend now. I don't know if this has been touched upon already but do you guys think there should be some kind of crisis scene for Miranda when she learns that Cerberus is hunting Shepard?

I personally think their should be some kind of reaction since it's her job and former colleagues and the man she loves, there has got to be some form of conflict otherwise it's a bit strange if she doesn't react.

Thanks. Is it just my imagination, or is the Renegade romance more tolerable in general? No "I don't have what you have" and the kiss, while cliched, is much funnier. She seems to spend more time bantering and less beating herself up. Not quite ready to eat my words, but I'm softening a bit.

I've always thought that the Renegade romance puts them on a more equal footing. She still says "You're the best humanity has to offer" and the "All I can take credit for are my mistakes", but they challenge each other more, there's some banter and she gives as well as she takes. Also there's "Don't get cocky. I'm the one who put you back together remember? And I do damn good work." which goes a long way in offsetting the other lines.

And of course "And stop smiling, damn it" is priceless. She may be flustered, but she hasn't lost her wits from it. I love that.

I hope you're prepared for Miranda getting less screen-time then ME2...there isn't any way Miranda will get equal/more screen time. Keep in mind that Miranda was in ME2 like 90% of the time. And this time, she won't be in the "trinity squad" (i.e. Kaidan/Shep/Ash, Miranda/Shep/Jacob, Carth/Revan/Bastila, Alistair/Warden/Morrigan...get my drift?) I'm not saying that she won't be recruitable or anything like that - it's just highly unlikely she'll be around after every major mission like she was in ME2.

Unless Bioware does something great (I almost used the word awesome then I remembered awesome button...) and makes her recruitable from the get go on your first mission and the post-mission debrief scenes consist of the entire crew where she is herself and very vocal ala Ash in ME1. But even then, she would lose about 10% of her screen time being missing from the Earth/Trial sequence.

there is no 'trinity squad' - squaddies will join or leave throughout... just because a few have been revealed so far does not elevate them to 'special' status. ME2 squaddies will be just as important as any others, including Miranda .

yes the renegade path is much more natural and better all-round.

@ ieldra you forgot: 'stop smiling dammit!' ;-)

So my current plan is to renegade the kiss convo as much as possible, do LOTSB before the romance is finalized and avoid *that* line, not recruit Tali until the last possible second to avoid Miranda looking like a jackass for choosing her work area for sex and pretend damn it--you're right was the option chosen during the last coversation. Other suggestions?

Yes. Take the middle option in the first exchange with TIM at the CB to avoid Miranda's dreadful "betrayal" line. It is also the most intelligent response, asking for some clarification before you decide.

And...does that mean you'll recruit Tali after the SM? Because the engine room scene takes place on the way to the O4 relay - if you haven't got Tali then, you won't have her in the SM.

[jtav]

Either post-SM or have her unloyal. Depends on how much I value Thane's life. I haven't fully decided. Legion can pick up the slack.

Loved it. The sexual tension was off the charts.

I agree. To be honest, I think the Renegade option is closer to real life relationships... well, mine at least. Playful and good natured teasing.

[Sebby]

If I ever create another Sheploo I'll be sure to romance Miranda for the very first time.
