If your B/F / G/F was meeting random people for nookie behind your back would you be okay with it?

Ignoring the fact that Miranda is not now, nor will ever be, My (as opposed to my charcter's) lover - it would depend on the kind of relationship we had.  But considering you don't hook up with her until pretty late in the game, I don't see how she'd have time or the inclination to abandon her other duties and run off to get a little nooky while you were on a mission. 

A couple heart to heart talks and some passionate engine room sexcapades do not an exclusive relationship make, however, so if she did go off to have some fun while we were dating ... so be it.  I'd take that as permission for me to do the same and go knocking on Tali's door.  (or, probably Jack's ... Tali seems too niave to accept an open relationship)

You make a point there... after all you dont exactly have the conversation about her being exclusive... however she does have the conversation about you being exclusive to her if you are pursuing other possibilities

Decent point... technically she wouldnt be breaking any set rules...

But if Jacob tries to get involved I am still going to use the spider to assasinate him... (If you need context while reading this please check page 481)

Yeah, Miranda is pretty possessive of having Shepard all to herself. And she wants everyone to know that Shepard is hers. She won't stand for it if Shepard tries to have another LI on the side. She says, "I won't be shared. And if you think anything is going to happen while your doing someone else... You're very mistaken."

Gotta love that... Miranda puts her foot down.

Nothing sexier than a strong willed woman that knows what she wants

I know Patrick Weekes responded to someone on twitter and said that it certainly hapened before ME2 (unfortunately we can't see messages on his account).

Yes, mentioned that before
The reason is is that he doesn't want to accidentally give out spoilers for ME3

Yeah

Is there anyone out there worthy of dating Miri other than Shep / Jacob?... casual encounters not included.

Kaidan is the only character in the Mass Effect games (other than Shepard of course), I can imagine with Miranda.
But Shepard/Miranda remain my favorite pairing.

[Caihn]

I never had this scene during my games, because I never tried to romance someone else in ME2. But I like the idea of Miranda being possessive.

Can you imagine Shepard and Miranda in a situation like this one?

So does every other LI.

Okay my fellow Men... it is inevitable... remember resistance is futile...

The vows...

Do you _____ vow to love, cherish, honor, OBEY, for as long as you both shall live until death do you part...

... and that is why Batchelor Parties take it to a whole new level of "Dude this is your last day as a free man."

You mean Shepard becoming out of shape? Yep... happens to us all... and thats what the poor ladies have to look forward to.

Its a lose lose scenario for both genders.

Btw I noticed some people may be concerned for the couple because of Miri's medical problems... I have the solution. If Shep and Miri want to have a child they can engineer one just like Miri was and raise the child the way Miri's father didnt... I think that would be a very nice way to help Miri get past her "perfection" issues.

That has already been proposed as a possible solution - a combination of several methods of assisted reproduction, actually. See my FAQ (linked in the OP) for details. 

I would prefer this solution to an actual cure.

One thing that kinda was... I dont know how to describe it... a stab of jelousy? a moment of WTF? or a moment of joy knowing I am dealing with a mature woman who is not constrained by the perceptions and stereotypes of society?

I am talking about the Shadow Broker dossiers.... the Miri extranet meeting other guys for you know what.... my feelings on it are confused..., more so that there is no actual timeframe given for those in correlation to Miri and my Shep's relationship....

As far as the dossier indicates that Miranda has a history of being sexually active, the dossier told me nothing new. That was what I had always assumed to be the case, and the hint that this might have gone on until very recently (hinted at by her username) doesn't bother me in the least.

As far as those parts of the dossier indicate that Miranda might have tried to get with child that way, I find it a highly offensive suggestion, because it would have been idiotic to do that while preparing for a suicide mission and a stupid way to go about it in the first place. Which is why I reject that interpretation.

All in all, the dossier creates more problems than it adds interesting aspects to Miranda IMO. I wish it didn't exist.

XD The Shadow Broker Files aren't super recent. The only recent one (I believe since Shepard comes around) is the conversation with Oriana if you urge Miranda to talk to her after the mission. The most recent relationship she had was with Jacob, but he simply explains it as they got 'real close, then real far away'. So, worry not.

Actually, the SB files *are* recent. Note the username Miranda uses. Much more consistent with taking place around the start of ME2, up to and until you do Miranda's LM. 

As opposed to that, the only indication of the time of her relationship with Jacob is that video in the SB base, which could've been taken over the course of the last two years before the start of ME2. Given Jacob's reaction, it was earlier rather than late. I think it's very safe to say that her iPartners assignments took place after her relationship with Jacob had ended.

Edit:
Her behaviour in the romance makes it absolutely clear, btw, that the relationship with Shepard is more than that. The last romance scene makes that an inescapable conclusion - unless she playacts really convincingly, and I very much doubt that.

Seriously, I don't understand people's obsession with the fear that Miranda was having sex before their characters hooked up.  I, for one, wouldn't believe - nor want - her to be a virgin.  For all they are touted as the "greatest thing since sex itself", virgins are clumsy, lacking self confidence, and overall not very good in bed.  I would much rather have someone who knew how to please me, and what she needed to please herself in return.

Sure, but what makes the SB data odd is that it doesn't really chime with the rest of what we know about Miranda. She and Jacob were apparently close, as is the case with Shepard. Whereas, in the SB data, she's screening candidates based on medical history alone and barely even interacting with them otherwise. Why? It's a bit out the blue.

I agree that it is a tease, but so many are dead set that the files are fake and just a load of horse crap, which seems unlikely, considering...like I said...there is ultimately no risk of having his information stolen.

From an in-game perspective, yeah, but those files are really messages from the writers to the fans, something to get people thinking and talking. There's a lot of stuff in Miranda's file and some of it's pretty cryptic. So, while I agree with you that pure horse crap seems unlikely, I'm a bit sceptical as to how it will play out.

They certainly made an effort to keep things as ambiguous as possible. The problem I have is that I see no resolution coming that wouldn't make me puke, or rather, I doubt Bioware would implement a kind of resolution I would like. I *may* be pleasantly surprised, but Mass Effect has been a very conventional story so far. That doesn't give me a great deal of hope.

Sure, Jake, you can be my tech specialist anytime... Whatever you say! Nice abs!

I can afford to like Jacob. I am fully appreciative of my own superiority with regard to getting Miranda's esteem and affection.

It does take a great deal of mind-games though. I need to roleplay around a few aspects I'm sure Miranda wouldn't like much.

Even though this thread has take some crazy turns ..... its not as bad as what is going on out there. Some fool is asking if Asari are capable of "breeding" with Husks / Reapers.

LOL.

Seriously, I think whoever asks that is just taking that moronic "omnisexuality" concept to its logical conclusion. I like most asari in the games as characters, but the species concept comes close to ruining the whole universe for me.

I don't agree necessarily. To me; the iPartners situation was simply Miranda needing sex. No emotional entanglement, no added 'complications' just a fun no strings attached sort of thing. The difference between that and her relationship with Jacob (and later Shephard) was just that; a relationship.

At least, that's how I read it.

Agreed, it suggests that Miranda approaches even casual sex with a level of professionalism and preparation that most people never bother with.  She likes to know what she is getting into; and more importantly, that she won't be taking anything away.  

Sex and relationships are not the same thing - one is an act of pleasure seeking and release, the other an emotional commitment.  There is no reason she - or anyone for that matter - should approach the two in the same way.
