I apologize for being blunt. You are nitpicking details and looking for plots where there are none. It's in your head. All of it.
Everything in there doesn't come as a shock to me and others in here as well. We were expecting this. YOU are the odd ducks in here now, not us.
This IS the character that was going to come out for quite a few of us. It's unbalanced but no amount of DLC will fix your issues with it. Ever. You're behaving in much the same manner that the people in the story forum are. Same old thing in brand new drag. Day after day it's the same complaint in different formats.
That's why I keep telling you to move on. It isn't a threat and it isn't an attempt at being mean. It's a fact. It isn't going to change now and isn't going to change tomorrow. The endings are the way they are. Miranda is the way she is.
OK you've said a bunch of these things so many times that I feel justified in thinking that you mean them. Things like:
"We were expecting this"
"This is the character"
"It's unbalanced/one sided"
"It can't be fixed."
These and your persistent habit of completely misrepresenting some of the complains lead me to believe that either you're not aware of the subtleties of the criticisms or you're willingfully ignoring them.
First off, purely out of curiousity, I'd like to know exactly what you and these "others" were expecting and how you came to expect it? And when, I suppose is important as well.
Secondly, when we talk about Miranda, discussion about her character can usually be lumped into two categories, the professional, pragmatic operative/scientist side and the personal inner human being, yes? In ME2 we got to see both with her work in Cerberus and her feelings for Oriana and possibly Shepard. In ME3 all we saw, or most of it dealt with the personal. Hence the comment that her role was one sided. Agree?
Now why exactly can this not be fixed? If you have two sides and you've so far favored one, what exactly is stopping you from adding content to the other, thus balancing it out? Sounds exactly like the type of thing DLC can fix. If you say no, they won't allocate resources, that's an entirely different question altogether. Now you're talking about the
likelyhood of something being done, not whether it can or cannot be done.
So if you agree that her role is one-sided, why do you take so much issue to complaints about the very same thing? Why do you insist that "this is her character" then turn around and say "yes, it's one sided, we're not being shown some things"?
Of course that's not all Ieldra and others have said about it. I happen to agree that their doom and gloom about writer intent and how they wanted to ****** on ambition and scientific development is unfounded. And I have said so from day one. If they choose to interpet it as such, that's their business but it is not fact. Regardless, that doesn't detract from the very poignant observation that we missed out on a great deal of what made Miranda special and that her part could've been handled better. She should've had some reaction to Cerberus, a throwaway comment even.
You however seem to not differentiate between the questionably warranted pessimism and these legitimate claims that
you yourself agree with, instead lumping it all together as some deluded wish to make Miranda a robot and writing it off as such.
But the simple truth is no has ever preached that. We all appreciate her human side. It's just that some of us are also fans of the professional side and some admittedly find that side more fascinating. And in these cases, ME3 has left them wanting.
