Well, you never know. I'm not predicting. Just saying... it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Me neither. None of the old team would be fitting but Miranda. So let me make a prediction: if one of the female team members we already know from ME1 or ME2 will turn bi, it's Miranda.

Edit:
That damned picture just refuses to vanish up the thread. Kill it with fire!

I think Garrus and Tali are more likely, but I'd be delighted if you were right. I never have to play mShep again or worry about miracle pregnancies.

Yeah, I think that's probably true. There's plenty of support for it, it fits the character just fine, and straight guys would like it, too. Thus making it worthwhile to spend a little extra time to put it in the game.

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 think Paragon morality is, by and large, incompatible with social conservatism. By its very nature, social conservatism is opposed to egalitarianism, and Paragons are very egalitarian.
I also don't think that it's necessarily bioconservative, given that Shepard can just walk down to a store and buy thicker skin. There were never any hints of negativity towards any of Shepard's enhancements, and I think the difference is that Cerberus (for now) had Shepard's best interests in mind, while Miranda's father definitely didn't have the same for Miranda.
And Reapers... I think the moral of that is "don't try to control things you don't understand." Computer parts and guns that were used to make EDI and the Thanix, those can be understood and adapted, knowing what you're doing. But so much else of Reaper technology has those pesky indoctrination fields...

Black Swan used "Come in straight guys! It's a ballet movie but we have teh hawt lesbians!" trick so bluntly it was quite hilarious actually. And do you really think Yvonne would care if she voiced s/s romance? This is Hollywood lol.

As we speak, plans are being made to have Miranda make out with hawt new femshep in an upcoming ME3 trailer... LoL.

[Xilizhra]

Personally, I don't know if Miranda would be s/s; ME2 squadmates are harder to imagine doing that than ME1 ones. Though I don't want to romance her myself, I know a lot of others who do, so I'll hope for them (I'm in the odd position of my favorite characters all being open to women already, and two of them just not being real LIs at all).

I don't get why didn't give here some heavy armor in the first place...

PS: Assault rifle training would be cool too

I can actually see Miranda having a tattoo. It would fit in really well with her rebelling against her father before running away. Can you imagine how pissed he'd be (and how gleeful Miranda would be) when he sees his daughter with a tattoo? I for one visualise Miranda as having a heart between a pair of angel wings tattooed on the small of her back.

I can't really agree on that, I'd agree on her having an tattoo if it had some different sort of meaning to it, but if she'd take one to rebel against her father, then it would sound too teen rebel girlish for me.

[Xilizhra]

Well, she must have been a teenager at some point, right?

[Ieldra]

You could say she had more reasons to be a teen rebel than most. But yes, I don't think it would be her style. Also it's a mark you can't remove. Not exactly what you want in an operative. If she ever had one, she would've had it removed long ago.

[Xilizhra]

Out of curiosity, what do you think about my earlier post regarding morality/conservatism/etc?

[jtav]

I always pictured her as a bit wild after running away, but more sex and partying than tattoos. Lots of throwing caution to the wind because she was out from under dad.

Miranda's Sentinel powers already make her quite easily the most versatile and useful squadmate on the battlefield.  With an assault rifle she'd be unstopable!

[Xilizhra]

The Locust is good enough for imitating that in any case.

Funny. I never saw her like that. She seems so cold and calculating - I bet she rarely ever got someone in her bed. For most guys a woman like Miranda would be -too- sexy, -too- interesting and -too- difficult to impress so they won't even try it.

Or in short: I can't see her effing around with random people. I mean, did you read her SB's profile? She is so awkward she's dating via extranet guys. And she seems to have incredible high standards, that also reduce the chances she ever got laid before. In short - there never was a rebellious phase with drugs, sex and bad taste of music.

Just my oppinion. I simply can't stand the idea Miranda is used as some kind of "sex symbol" in the game ...

I'm really curious about what her fifth/unique power might be in ME3. I don't imagine her existing powers would likely change, since they work so well together.

For the new power, I'm thinking maybe something tech-related. Like weapon-dampening, maybe. Or some type of power drain type ability.

I agree.  Only I think Miranda is rather experienced sexually (and I like her that way).  I think Miranda has the ability to divorce love and sex.  I think she's very experienced with the latter and not hardly at all with the former. 

Given how and why she was created and raised. I've never pictured Miranda as ever having much of a childhood and thus never much of a rebellious phase. At least not the frivolous, self-indulgent "rebellion" Western children are famous for.

I always pictured her approaching the break with her father with equal parts maturity and desperation.

I'd like it to be an ammo power.  I mean a Sentinel being a "Jack(or Jill)-of-all-trades" an ammo power is really the only thing Miranda lacks.  I think an ammo power would dovetail nicely with her leadership role if it's a "squad-wide" version.

Agreed. Sadly the guys at Bioware seem to disagree. They went to great length to establish Miranda as ... physically desirable as possible, and by that I don't  mean her body. I blame the director.

Though I've read somewhere that Miranda did in fact experiment with casual sex. Can anyone confirm/deny?

I've thought about it. I imagine, if she had one, it could evolve into a squad-wide version. Still, ammo powers don't really seem to be a Sentinel thing (yet).

Sentinels balance tech and biotics, so with Miranda a second tech power seems pretty likely. If it were disruptor ammo, I certainly wouldn't complain. But something more situational and tactical strikes me as more likely for Miranda overall. Something that helps you neutralize your enemies' offense or defense.

Yeah, the SB dossier is something I have a problem with. The dating service is fine, obviously she was trying to get pregnant, so she always got right to the point; the thing is, in her chat excerpt with Oriana she comes across as a little socially inexperienced, whereas all the time Miranda has been marketed to us as a femme fatale type. Were that the case, she wouldn't need to purchase "Men are from Omega, women are from Illium", or copy-paste advice from a dating column from w/e. I wish that we'd get more insight into that part of Miranda's backstory (not how many men.women she's slept with, but how socially aware and savvy she is).

Also, I always had the impression that she joined Cerberus soon after she split from her father, so I don't imagine a lot of partying being done. And as far as teen rebellion goes, Miranda seems to be a person who doesn't like half-hearted measures, so getting away from her father was the ultimate act of rebellion, everything else she did after that I'd file under "trying out new things" and not  under "let's stick it to Daddy".

[jtav]

Trying out bew things is closer to what I ,eant. And I'd suspect her sexual history includes a good bit of recreational sex, but only the very occasional serious relationship ;ike Jacob and Shepard. Actually I suspect the LOTSB writer and Miranda's main writer are on different pages. Main game Miranda is fairly normal, and LOTSB Miranda strikes me as not all that healthy.
