In any case; back to the topic at hand... In the mid to late 90`s there was two very popular shows on Tv.One had a hero the other a heroine.
Hercules - The Legendary Journeys and Xena - Warrior Princess...
Xena began as just an antagonist.Who then became a love interest and friend of the son of Zues. In a story arc during Hercules Adventures.She got such a good response from fans.That it warranted her getting her
own spin off series.That was a great success in its own right.
I see a parallel with Shepard and Lawson.In Mass Effect 2, Ms. Lawson is not only featured on the cover art to the game.
- She is in the Trailers and Promotional work.
- The first voice you hear in game.
- Shepard's XO on the Normandy SR 2.
- And she has more screen time and dialogue than any other NPC in the entire game!
I recently decide to record a play - through of ME 2. Which primarily focuses on Miri and Shep's interactions throughout the game -- and romance.
It begins with the Prologue, on to escaping the Lazarus station, meeting the Illusive Man, arriving at Freedom's Progress, then Conversations with Miranda on the SR 2, Onto her loyalty mission, the altercation with Jack, More banter on the Normandy, the Suicide Mission and post SM Content...
It clocks in at over 2 hours and 15 minutes.And I left some stuff out.Like the convo about Grunt.So it could have been longer...
I've watched this vid of mine now, multiple times.And what I have been amazed by.Is how good the game still is.Even if basically all the other squad-mates are edited out.
What I did is essentially make a movie of ME 2.Where its mostly just game footage of Miri and Shep.Jacob guest stars here and there and so do a few others characters.
I realized from doing this.That if its still so good with just the two of them.If she can hold her own with
Commander Shepard.Scene for scene.Than there is a good possibility that she can be the star of her own game.
Judging from how she has the "Character Thread" with:
• The most views and post on this website.
• As well as one of the biggest Fan art and Fanfiction Categories of any character from the Mass Effect series.
It would be beyond madness and idiocy for BioWare to not capitalize on such a huge fan-base and demographic. Devoted to Operative Miranda Lawson...
If Nina Williams of Tekken can get her own game.How much more deserved is one for Miranda Lawson? Who is nothing less than a Sci-Fi version of Wonder Woman... Only much cooler!?
The Game... As I see it.Should not be restricted to one time period.Post Reaper War or Pre- Battle of the Citadel.Instead it should cover both time periods.
1. We will get to play as her as a young girl in her fathers house.
2. As a Cerberus Operative.
Finally... Let me put it this way...
"MIRANDA HAS THE SPECTRE LOGO TATTOOED ON HER ASS"
This is a woman who is a highly educated, well trained.Genetically engineered Super-woman...
She can "crush a mech with her biotics or shoot its head off at a 100 yards."
She proved that she could "Live the Bosses Life" As the project lead of the Lazarus Cell.
And Miranda lead the Fire Team during the Suicide mission.Without incident or loss of life.Even though some didn't trust her.
What is Miranda going to do with herself after leaving Cerberus in ME 2? I don't see her pulling a Mordin; and go from an exalted position to a humble (but good) one.
With Shepard's recommendation.And her resume.How could she fail? As Nihilus put it - concerning the selection
of Spectre candidates:
"I don't care what race you are.Or what's your background.If you have the skills.You get the work."
4. In this game the ultimate goal will not be to save the galaxy.But rather to prevent a great war from taking place.
5. Miranda's appearance will be customizable.
Shepard calls Miranda a mutt in ME 2
So BioWare is free to let us play around with her look.Especially since this game is restricted to one gender.6. Guest Appearances...
What will it be like for Miri to encounter Jack when Shepard is not around to play referee?
In Mass Effect IV - This will be the first time that Commander Shepard is an NPC...
If you romanced Miri.Than Shep and her will be able to continue a long distance relationship throughout the game or decide that this is to difficult to do.And break up.But Shepard and Miranda will work together again, at some point during the game.
Imagine how it will be to have the shoe on the other foot - and have to decide to either be loyal and faithful to Shepard; as some of us were to our ME 1 Love Interest in ME 2... Or call things off...
7. Our Mass Effect 3 Save Imports will be usable in ME 4.
Self explanatory...
8. Game-play:
An amalgamation of Tomb Raider/Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Resident Evil 5...
Post Script - Now a word or two about the title of this thread.When ME 4 comes out.I believe that BioWare should just go ahead and make it canon that "the first human Spectre" is ManShep.And in ME 4 we meet the first human
female Spectre.A woman who we already know (and alot of us love) pretty well: Miranda "Miri" Lawson.
