She'll be on the cover of October's version of Maxim. Not sure when it'll be out (I think this week).

Yes. I would dislike it only if it was kept as a permanent feature, or even worse, if it was implied that such is a natural consequence of the way she was created, rather than a consequence of the way her father treated her.


I sort of want to see some dialogue between Grunt and Miranda. Both of them have the same issue of how they were created, Grunt not understanding Krogan culture, and Miranda not appreciating her accomplishments because of her tailoring.

Grunt: You and I are alike.

Miranda: What?

Grunt: Both of us were made to stoke the vanity of our creators. Yet you obsess over the fact.

Miranda: My father is no business of yours.

Grunt: You are a member of Shepard's clan. As am I, you have defeated many powerful foes, conqured death itself, and yet you feel no satisfaction because of some fool who thought he could control you. You have a clan, a purpose, and a life free of those who sought to bend you to their will. Why do you still consider yourself imprisoned?

Miranda: I...You're rather philosophical for a Krogan aren't you?

Grunt: I read.

Miranda: Oh.

I would like this. A lot. It's obvious that Grunt is something like the krogan version of Miranda. I don't like Grunt much in ME2 but if he grew less one-sided and developed an interest in things that would lead to this conversation - that would make me want him back. I think it would be a fitting character development for him.

Dr.Doctor, you write the most amazing things. :)

Grunt might be a big Krogan kid who likes to smash things, but he's very curious and actually does read quite a bit. (see Shadow Broker dossier)

On a different subject whenever I hear the line about how Miranda's father wanted to create a "dynasty" for some reason the first thing that springs to mind is Paul Atreides from Dune. Minus the whole "space messiah" thing.

Speaking in a predictive capacity, they may be keeping silent because she isn't a full squad member and they're delaying that revelation as long as possible.


Could be, of course. It's a little early to start getting too pessimistic, though, I think, since we know more squadmates remain to be revealed.

Honestly, there will likely be a squadmate or two in the game (maybe one returning, one new) that Bioware will try not to spoil prior to release. With Miranda being a fairly strong candidate for that sort of thing, I don't think anything can be ruled out.

Hmmm, yeah, it is somewhat reminiscent of that, now that you mention it. I do think that more information about what, exactly, Miranda's father had in mind for his creation is a big possible area for further exploration in ME3.

We know more about Okeer's intent for Grunt, for example.

I can try, though it might be difficult with the overall lighting.

Yep. One of the few Miranda-themed fanfics I like. Can't say much about the plotting yet, but the writing is reasonably good and the characterization, too. Except for Tali. She's gotten a bit too immature.

Thanks, with that I've finished my fourth sig. I hope you guys like it.

And about the ffic of Watchdog and Disclosure, the only thinks that I dislike are some lines from Tali. I can't imagine her saying "****" and "b#tch", even if she is jealous.

I feel like the Tali appearance would be better if she used quarian curses as she seems to do in-game. (At least the first appearance. Haven't finished the whole fic yet.)

Just a quick, NON REALISTIC rough sketch of Miri. REMEMBER: I have a very loose style. I hardly finish my drawings, like Da Vinci.

In the event that we encounter Miranda's father in ME3 I'm sort of hoping that we get some sort of explanation of his actions. (Unlike the Danarius plotline in DA2 where he was just billed as a purely evil villain) And this:

Shepard: Before we do this I need some information.

Miranda: Such as?

Shepard: Such as who exactly is your father. Because right now I'm picturing some sort of deposed politician who uses his magical powers to strand us on his island.

Miranda: (stares at Shepard)

Shepard: I can read you know.

Miranda: Shepard. My father isn't Prospero.

Shepard: Alright, so that crosses that theory off the list.

Yeah, it's a big missing piece of the Miranda puzzle. Now, where Prospero is concerned, let's not be hasty... anything is possible Image IPB

Miranda and Ash share many of the same personality traits. They believe in service to humanity, protecting their sisters, and getting the job done. They're independent and mature, not blushing teenagers. First playthrough of Mass Effect, I stayed faithful to Ash, but my second Shepard dashed into Miranda's office the first chance he got...would have stayed their for most of the game if I'd had the time :D

I disagree. Miranda and Ashley have similar goals but are very different in personality. As someone put it very early in the first thread, like ice and fire.

Agreed about Miranda's office. Definitely the best place to be when Shepard's not needed in the command center. :lol:


Of course,  the ice and fire analogy is very accurate, their baseline personalities are entirely individualistic, but they do share several traits. I wasn't trying to say they are the same character.

I think whoever was your love in ME2 will be in ME3 as a full squadmate, but only that romance from ME2, but that's just what I think.

No, because that doesn't actually reduce work for the developers and it makes the romances much more important than they are. Writing and voicing six mutually exclusive paths is not an efficient use of resources at all, especially considering the optional nature of romances.
