Which is better? The Promise or the Hug?

Would any cause something to happen in ME3?

I've always found it more appropriate to not make the promise. Miranda appreciates honesty, and Shepard knows it may not be in his power to keep his promise. His actual lines if you choose the promise are ok though, he doesn't actually make one. So both are OK.

I don't think there will any consequence in ME3 for having chosen either. I don't think that will even be recorded in the saved game.

BTW:

Do what you want.
There is no good or bad choice.
Personally, I hate when someone tells me how I should play.
I will just tell you which one I prefer : "No promise" (and the hug). But I understand why some prefer the "I promise" choice.

Iedra2, I thought I covered what you wrote for "Miranda plot points I want to see resolved:"?
Do you mean the rest of your post?

Yes.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

To me, the No promise (the hug) is more touching for the Romanca and the story.<3<3


Especially if it's right before the SM with the realization that we may not survive.

I prefer the hug, though they really needed a "you first" option. Matt has issues.

I'm thinking of running my creepy Paragon since I have a paragon game I have no idea what to do with. Guy says and does all the right things but it's about looking good rather than being good. Post-Lazarus, he has no concept of mercy or fidelity. I'm half-tempted to pair him with Miranda because molding her into a trophy would be a challenge he'd enjoy and because her romance can't be screwed up.

I haven't played Arrival yet, and the only thing I'm disappointed with it already is that you have to be alone. 

If only I was able to bring Miri along.

What's so good about this mod?

I want to have it, I guess. But I don't know How to install it. And I do not know if it will damage my Laptop or corrupt my Save file.

We haven't done this lately, so how do your Shepards get on with Miranda?
 

John Shepard (Colonist/War Hero Paragade): The loss of his family in the raid of Mindoir turned John into a machine, obsessed with punishing anything he considers to be evil. However, he has a very subjective idea of what is “evil” hence why he didn’t have much trouble working with Cerberus.
At first he thinks of Miranda as a soulmate in a completely non-romantic way. Like him, she is someone who suffered but decided to stand up, someone who realizes that the mission must always come first, that sometimes sacrifice are needed but who still has a conscience and does what she believes is right. She is first person he ever admired.
Seeing Miranda’s love for her sister awakens something inside him and John begins to realize that he is a human and not just an instrument of justice. He tries to help her overcome her issues and open himself to her but he best he has managed to do so far is blurt out “Icareaboutyou” Promising that he wouldn’t die was as much uncharacteristic to him as it was for Miranda to ask for such a promise.
Didn’t go with her to the Engine Room. The abuse he suffered at the hands of the Batarian slavers made him asexual, he’s trying to overcome this.
 
Ezequiel Shepard (Earthborn/Ruthless Renegade/eventually Renegon): Ezequiel has an “Us versus Them” mentality regarding Humanity and the rest of the Galaxy and thinks that no sacrifice is too big as long as humanity gains something. For years, he idolized Cerberus and nurtured dreams of joining them. Needless to say, he was very disappointed with the crew placed under his command.
At first dislikes Miranda, dismisses what she says about her past as winning (this is dues to his own past), thinks she is unworthy of the gifts bestowed upon her and is more than decided to prove to the Illusive Man that he is better than her.
However, after realizing how capable she is and hearing more about how it was like to live under Mr. Lawson’s roof; he gains a certain measure of respect for her and even appreciation.
Eventually, hearing her speak against the experiments on Pragia and even defending alien races like the Rachni makes him think twice about if there should be some boundaries.
Didn’t go to the Engine Room because he’s afraid that rushing things will turn Miranda into just one more. After hearing what Miranda had to say, he decided to destroy the Base.
 
Thomas Shepard (Spacer/ War Hero Paragon/eventually Paragade): Born in a golden crib, intelligent, resourceful and handsome, Thomas is used to having what he wants. Alliance loyalist to boot, he lives in a world of Black and White. Those who follow the law are good, everyone else must either surrender or be laid to waste. Everything is by the Book.
This guy is still in ME1 but I’m pretty sure his story will be similar to Ezequiel’s. He will hate Miranda at first but, after being abandoned by the Alliance, she will show him that Gray exists and he will end up preserving the Base.

The fact that you have to do Arrival alone is one of the reasons (along with the fact it makes the rest of the game very buggy from what I've heard) why I steadfastly refuse to buy it.

It makes sense (to an extent) to do the mission alone, though.  And I haven't heard/seen anything regarding bugginess in the rest of the game, although I did lose my sniper "slowdown" after a certain point (it came back after I died).

Arrival wasn't the best mission, but it was playable.  Not having squadmates in combat wasn't its biggest problem, what made it mediocre was not having much to do except shoot people.  It was very linear in scope (not level design).  You get the mission, go somewhere, find someone, shoot some people, go somewhere else, shoot somemore people, run around and shoot more people, etc.  I didn't miss my squaddies in combat, I missed being able to interact with them or have conversations that they participated in. 

Oh, and it was really short.  I think LotSB set my expectations too high.  I would just read what happens in the DLC and save your money, since it seems like the events of Arrival become cannon in ME3 anyway.

Again, I have it installed already, but I'm not there yet.

I switched from 360 to PC a couple of months ago, and I installed ALL of the DLC's I wanted soon after.

Thomas Shepard* (named after myself) (Earthborn/War Hero/Soldier; Full Paragon in ME1, likely Paragade in ME2): I have a fanfic idea (that I doubt will ever write up) where Thomas & Miranda knew each other for 2 years after she first ran away from her father and barely escaped again to join Cerberus (it's "very" loosely based on a rl experience I had with an old friend of mine- the 2 year thing and abrupt seperation are about the only things in common). Due to the over 15 year (17 I think since she was 18 when she joined Cerberus in my story) seperation, she puts up a wall even when it comes to him, he spends the part of the mission prior to Miranda's LM trying to tear it down. Then after "re-" gaining her loyalty, proceeds to romance her. Ultimately decides to blow up the Collector Base, convincing Miranda to quit Cerberus.

*NOTE: This is my 360 canon which I just imported from ME1, so it's a work in progress. I based everything on what I did in my PS3 playthrough, so it's what I'll likely do in this one as well. Also, in the interests of full disclosure, I have a variation of the same ME1 playthrough where I romanced Ash as a worst case scenario in the event that Miranda's role in ME3 is horrible.

[mereck7980]

I really need to get the PC version. Seeing all the mods you can use makes me really envious of PC players. Miranda with a different color uniform, blondish hair, and the ability to use assault rifles sounds awesome.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

I'm shocked. This thread is TOO quiet today.

Ok... here's my Shepard. This based on my Fan Story I've been writing almost daily... Haven't put it online anywhere... mostly for my own "entertainment" til ME3 comes out... But if anyone wants a chapter... Private Message me and I'll see what I can do. It's still a work in progress. My own interpretation on their relationship after the Collector Base destroyed.  (does have sexual content can modify it)

Jon Shepard: Colonist/Ruthless “Renegon” (Mostly Renegade and some paragon) – He’s all for justice for those that are the victims but not so much for the ones causing the hardship. He dislikes Batarians… thorn in his side… watching his parents get killed by the hands of Batarians has left him with deep wounds… (hatred? but doesn’t go out of his way to kill every last one of them either) he never talks about what happened that day... except to Miranda if asked. It’s too painful to relive.

His parent’s loved him, taught him about love and how to be a strong man… respectful of women and to protect what he has or values. Parents were farmers. He didn’t care for it much. He wanted to make a difference… loves being in space.

Not proud of being called the “butcher of torfan” but lives with it… He gets the job done but has adoptive the rule that no-one get’s left behind! He hated to see his friend Kaiden Alenko die on the planet with the bomb… but he couldn’t let Ashley die. Even though he romanced her he knew she had more to give… Ashley needed the opportunity to make her family proud of her… and clear her family’s name. He was heart-broken in a sense that Ashley called him a traitor and saying he turned his back on her/Anderson and the Alliance. He never would have… He didn’t have a choice but saw the real threat… The collectors. No one else was doing a damn thing about it. He felt like Ashley dumped him and he tried to move on… another pain to add to his heart.

He saved the council despite the loss of human life… He hasn’t forgotten who sacrificed their lives that day. It’s just another wound to add to his heart. He dislikes politics/bureaucracies/in-action… or people that get in his way… He can be an ass to people who get in his way… called for or not… depending upon his mood. He does try to use his brain… but always liked that saying… behind every great man is an even greater woman. He’s a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

He can also be warm and loving in private with the one he cares for. Very affectionate and loves to cuddle. Romantic at heart/sentimental. He often tells jokes to hide the pain… or to lighten the mood. Likes to tease… and challenge Miranda.

He teased her with being jealous and enjoyed the kiss… he loved watching Miranda stumble over her words… made him chuckle inside, in a good way.

He couldn’t promise Miranda he wouldn’t die… enjoyed the hugged.

He accepted her invite to the engine room… he was more than pleased. The sexual attraction between them both is caring and passionate, steamy… kinky. They have great sex together.

He can’t believe he fell in love with a high-ranking Cerberus officer. From the moment he first saw her she intrigued him. He had to find out more about her and what made her that way. He had to win her trust. She stirred his soul. He was indeed physically attracted to her but he liked the woman he discovered underneath. They both had their teenage years turn to **** for various reasons… He disliked all things Cerberus and knows Miranda is more intelligent and can be of value elsewhere than a “terrorist” group. He saw her great potential and didn’t treat her like a tool but as a human being. He was going to make sure she knew it. He valued her input even if he didn’t agree with some of the suggestions she made.

He made her the first fire team leader. She proved more than capable even if the others on his team didn’t like it. His opinion was all that mattered. Life and death decisions. He again wouldn’t leave his crewmembers to die…
Miranda was there for him… pushing him to succeed. She wouldn’t let him fail in the mission. Kept him on track and did all the administrative duties he hated doing. Reports… blah…

They share the same ideas, in a sense, about wanting humanity to stand up and take a stand. Make their own way in the galaxy and not rely on other races. They have their share of differences but both come out with a better understanding and viewpoint on the matter.

He has a fondness for the Asari… or rather an “appreciation.” He finds them beautiful and sexually attractive.
He has feelings for Liara but hasn’t acted upon them. Thinks of her more as a very close friend. Miranda is more than he could have ever hoped for in a woman. He’s deeply in love with her.
