Somehow I have never seen this expression. Courtesy of General Distress over on the FemShep thread.





She looks even more pissed than she did at Wilson.

Interesting choices. I never considered the outcome of Tali's exile in ME3. I'll guess the situation will be the same of when she's dead.
Abotu the genophage, it'd be cool if the choice of destroying the cure in ME2 and the deaths of  Mordin and Wrex could lead to a different results. From the demo, it seems that Mordin and Wrex have a partner relationship. I don't think it'd be the same with whoever is in Mordin's place or with Wreav.
A little off-topic, I'm envious that you, like most of people, are sure about the decision of the CB. I had some problems with my ME2 saves, so I have to replay my two main Shepard, one Paragade and one Renagon. Since I don't know if I'm going to complete both of them (I have to complete Skyrim too), so I'll probably complete one and do two saves from that, one with the CB kept and one with the CB destroyed, and I'll decide the one to import in March. The decision in quite hard for me, I really don't know what to choose:lol:

 I like so much the angry expression in her's face

Where is that taken? I don't recognize that building behind them.

[MisterJB]

Thane's recruitment mission. Right at the beginning. When you see mechs killing salarians.

do you believe that for january we have an official confirm or a new image?

As you might be able to guess I just finished the Talimance, which I enjoyed a great deal this time round. But it got me thinking about Miranda. Miranda doesn't deserve Shepard--and that's a good thing. Here's what I mean: how many times in fiction do you see the hero getting the girl as a reward for being virtuous or enduring some suffering? Especially for being in love with the girl previously.A person suffering from unrequited love is seen as inherently more worthy of the object of their affection than anyone else. Or they've had a hard life and the LI is a consolation prize. None of that with Miranda. She's the "easy" choice, the one Hollywood and romance novels have paradoxically conditioned us to expect toget dumped in favor of Tali or Liara because of their longstanding devotion to Shepard. We don't "owe" Miranda a romance. Lazarus was her job and any admiration or affection on her part comes later. Which makes her romance very nice indeed.

That's why I prefer her as a friendship path, she has other dedications and motivations to concern her life, especially with some of the events in ME2, they can fill the role of influencing her towards a certain path, if that's the right way to put it.  I like that she has that cold exterior, but being able to help her family issues can contribute to her showing a more light-hearted side which I admire and I don't want that side to be shown without earning her trust and mine.  In my view, Miranda seems like the perfect match for some Shepards, which pulls me away, but again that's another discussion.

Three main reasons Miranda is canonical LI for me instead of Ashley

1) Lazarus
2) I like defrosting the Ice Queen
3) She's human (so is Ash but you know what I mean)

Simple as that. Not really a fan of all the lovey dovey stuff, though I am a big fan of Miranda herself.

[jtav]

I just like smart, prickly people. Miranda is what Shep's supposed to be--the escapist character for my self-inserts. As a LI, I suspect I'm getting a completely different fantasy from most of you. Miranda's the dark, brooding character who is supremely self-loathing, but is fiercely protective of her loved ones. She will kill for them without a moment's hesitation and never ask for a thing in return. And you, by some miracle, have made the list of people she cares for. It's just as much a power trip as being the badass space marine.

@ jtav

That's why I like Miranda's romance, she's willing to go to any lengths neccesary to keep the people she cares about safe. I sort of wonder if that's why she and Jacob broke up considering that she's one of Cerberus' top agents and (*spoiler*) TIM's second in command life with her would be rather dangerous, so Miranda distances herself from him similar to what she does with Oriana.

[android654]

If there's one thing we know about Miranda is that she's direct and decisive. I always got the impression the Jacob didn't/couldn't measure up to Miranda's expectations or requirements in one area or another. Besides, it was only hinted at being a "thing," not a relationship or some kind of love affair. But it does seem like Jacob wanted her more than she did. Which seems to be the case in a lot of relationships where one person is "too" ambitious or accomplished; one is held on a pedestal and another stares up at them.

[naledgeborn]

IMO Jacob and Miranda didn't work out because of "Magic versus Science" mentality they each respectively have. He's an arch-typical soldier by trade while she is an arch-typical scientist. He thinks with his heart, she with her brain. Ect. There's also the being her subordinate thing, Jacob has an authority problem.

I heard a rumor that Miranda was getting a difference VA. Is there any truth to this? I dont really care either way, even though Im sure its not true, but I was wondering.

[JeffZero]

Currently a completely unfounded rumor.

[JosephDucreux]

I detect a troll in here...

[jtav]

Here's how I explain it. On the rare occasions Miranda commits herself, she does so absolutely. Jacob isn't the type to stick it out or commit himself to a cause.

[naledgeborn]

Why hide behind an alias Buu? Scared you'll get banned for trolling *****? See when I troll I use my one and only account to do so.

[JosephDucreux]

Trolled the Tali thread numerous times, only one ban. Whoop-de-loop, looks like the mods are getting tired of children wailing.

[android654]

That certainly isn't true Jacobs written as the classic soldier, who has a code of ethics and looks for good work to be done. His flaw as a character stems from his constant fear of betrayal by those around him, perhaps to his history with his father and Miranda. But he doesn't lack dedication or a cause. Those are the reasons why he left the corsairs for Cerberus.

@naledgeborn
That's a good point, mistrust of superiors and the need for an equal does say quite a bit. I was alluding to that when I said he was subpar in some area(s) for Miranda. Which is a shame, since the guy is self sacrificing once you get to know the guy. He's got nothing but honest intentions, but intent isn't enough. But, by the same token it could be placed on Miranda for having seemingly impossible standards for those around her, to the point that she denies herself quality company. Then again --like her-- I'm no fan of settling. You see what you want, and you shouldn't settle for anything less.

[Kid Buu]

ummm. Jesus people. I saw it in someones sig. I was just asking. Damn, these character threads are such a joke.

I'd say it more or less makes her the best.

[JosephDucreux]

What I like about Miranda is that she makes no apologies for doing whatever she needs to do to get the job done. On another topic, the latest episode of Chuck got me riled up. A real man NEVER hits women, yo.
