Yes Razyx is very talented, although that one only really works in the engine room.../../../images/forum/emoticons/happy.png

The thing with Mirianda's default costume is that really don't know what it is. It's not a uniform, not armor, not officewear, and despite her ass hanging out, I dont find it sexy either.

The one I linked makes make me buy into that. btw Miranda looks really funny sitting behind her desk in full battlearmor and visors with the alternate apperance pack..

Miranda is very professional, I do not believe that she will use this type of armor is not the style of it.

LoL, well, not for a regular outfit, no. But it's a pretty sweet mod.

And, realistically, I think Miranda will remain heterosexual to all appearances.

Reasoning? The possibility of a s/s romance with Miranda still seems pretty open to me.

The ME team is much more conservative than the DA team. Miranda is too mainstream, designed very much with straight men in mind.

In part, no doubt, as far as her original design is concerned. But making her available as a same s/s romance doesn't really conflict with that original intent. She seems like a pretty popular choice for a s/s relationship, and probably works better for this than, say, Ashley, for both game design and character reasons.

So, if she's around enough to have a new romance path, it wouldn't surprise me at all if she has both male and female versions. We have so little information, it's hard to speculate. But I don't see any reason to rule it out.

I thought straight men went for that sort of thing: hot women getting freaky with each other. 

And I wouldn't call the ME team more conservative. I don't want to say realistic but it's not conservative.

Well, they are. Compare DAO: we get a same-sex option for male and female Wardens and the opportunity to have a threesome with Isabela. ME1/2: There is a same-sex option for female Shepards, but Bioware tried to wriggle out of it by saying Liara isn't really a woman. Yeah, and a ****** isn't sex.

Notice also the technophobic undercurrent in the dealings with Reaper technology and the way they presented Miranda's genetic engineering as if it were a bad thing. Last but not least, the way Paragon morality is pushed by the game in the more important decisions, which usually coincides more with traditional notions of morality (again, one of the best examples is Miranda's "betrayal" line - they even twist characters beyond recognition to push it into our faces). Yes, I think it's very much correct to say the ME series takes a more socially conservative and bioconservative stance.

I don't think I need to say how annoying I find that. My only hope lies in the fact that It's not beyond repair. Three things they'd need to do: let Miranda make peace with her origins and let her find some way to pass on her gifts that doesn't involve a miracle pregnancy, let keeping the CB have some real and visible benefits that impact the main plot, and implement a same-sex romance for both genders.

I don't really like Miri being with someone else(I'm overprotective, but aren't all Miri fans are?), but if it happens(if I'm romancing Tali) I'm not exactly sure who it would be.

Well, yeah, presumably this would be like if you chose the friendship path with Miranda and were romancing another character.

I doubt we'll see Miranda diss Shepard and run off with Kaidan, though I admit... it would be pretty funny to see something like that

LOL, it would. Maybe Miranda reacts to some really bad decision of Shepard's by breaking up. The problem is it would be hard to write Miranda/Kaidan convincingly with limited space for interaction. I think Miranda and Kaidan are compatible in personality, but not so much in their take on things, i.e. politics and morality. Or can you imagine Miranda telling Shepard to trust Udina? There'd need to be a lot of character development....

So I don't think it will happen. As for being "overprotective" (I'd say "jealous" would be more honest), I see no reason to be when I'm playing a femShep or don't romance Miranda.

SNIP OVERSEXED MIRANDA PIC

THANK YOU MODS!!!

*Lurker stops lurking*

Somehow that's a bit "oversexed". I like Miranda, but definitely don't treat her as some kind of ... "sex object". Maybe I'm out of that age (being at the same age as Shepard in ME).

However, that modding guy is skilled. Nice textures.

I tend ot think of indoctrination such as it was described in ME1. It is an itching - a scratching that becomes louder over time in the base of your skull. Much like being in the Reaper, I am sure that Miranda and Shepard felt it - just like Shep did with Object Rho in Arrival.

That feeling may have been hard to describe for Miranda, but she knew that people should not be in the Collector base. At some point you have to realise that this thing - that feeling - is back, and you have to get your mission done and get the heck out before its too late.

Yet again, there's another good reason to justify that Miranda might want to destroy the base. "It's too dangerous too keep intact". Goes well with jtav's "I don't think we can handle this safely". And yet again, it clashes with what she actually says.

At this point, I'm beginning to think they couldn't have given Miranda any worse a line than the "betrayal" line if they'd tried. 

@CptData:
I totally agree with you, CptData, but could you (and everyone else) *please* stop quoting that damned pic!

Edited posting for the sake of sanity.

Seriously - I try to treat Miranda as part of my crew in ME2. She's my second in command - and as such I'm treating her with respect. She's one of my fav characters, although not a LI for any of my Shepards. Keep things professional, and I'm fine with it. Miranda is fine with it too and I'm looking forward to see her again in ME3.

No sex object for me.

Well, also, just practically speaking, if a s/s romance were to be implemented for Miranda, straight guys playing femshep would probably get as much/more use out it than anyone else. So, even from the point of view that Miranda is supposed to be a turn-on for straight guys, it makes quite a bit of sense to add it to the game.

Yeah, me too. I want her to have a normal life in the sense of having friends and loved ones and for her to accept herself. But I don't want to see her brought down to normal. Above all else, I want her to keep doing the impossible.

No pressure.

Well, for an in-game Kaidan/Miranda, I'd envision something fairly light: bickering with hints of sexual tension and the implication that things went to their natural rom-com conclusion should they be single.

You know what also was designed with straight men in mind? The universally bisexual race of hot blue stripper space babes and all the other lesbian innuendos in this franchise (along with zero male gay content). If anything, who do you think they would have be available for s/s romance in ME3? I'll tell you who, the 'hawt' girl = Miranda. Straight men don't want to see 'butch/hipster' lesbians/bisexual girls, they want hotties.

I wasn't defending the catsuits. In fact, none of the outfits is classy, though the AAP2 makes her look sleek and dangerous, which is how I want her on missions. A good civilian outfit for her I haven't seen yet.

I see nothing dangerous about that armor, it makes me sigh and wonder who'd make anyone wear such silly looking piece of equipment. Black catsuit nom nom.

Hmmm, yeah, basically.

She's also the marketing poster girl from the second game, voiced by a Hollywood actress. They won't risk a thing with her.
