Seeing as we've never heard Miranda complaining about her outfit I would personally assume she's content with it. Also, I've never understood why everyone sees her as an overly-sexualised person. Personally I find her as sexually enticing as a popsickle.
Good for you. I didn't really find her incredibly hot, either (she was too fake-looking for me), but the problem is that her appearance and those blasted camera angles were pretty much trying to force me into thinking she was sexy. Which is a problem because...
During the majority of the game she never does anything to make herself seem "available" to any man. There is no strutting, no stroking of the gun barrel and no batting of eyelashes. She is perfectly content doing what she does best, completing the mission she was assigned to, either on the battlefield or behind a desk. She will only make the moves on Shepard when she has realized that he is appropriate bonding material. That does not qualify as a sexualised woman in my book.
Precisely. There's the disconnect. Miranda, as a character, is not a tramp. So why must the game constantly flash me with images of camel-toe? I know that one shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but this is like taking a serious novel, ripping off its cover, and disguising it as a paltry harlequin romance. Now, you may like the subversion, and revel in the surprise of, hey, there's a great character under all that silicone and latex, but ultimately I think it does Miranda a disservice. Characters in video games rely strongly on their visual design to communicate who they are, and every feature and trinket should say something about their past or personality.
Jacob has this problem, too, but the poor bastard gets bashed so much that I'm going to leave him alone for now.
Seeing as she has had no mother figure in her life, one could say her choice in fashion may be a result of her never having a proper role model to teach her how to properly dress herself.
That's kind of a weird excuse and makes her dad, like, 100% creepier.
Cheez, on discussions of Ashley's new look (which I don't like either) you have on several occasions stated that it was Ashley as a character that made her sexy, not what she wore or looked like. This has certainly been proven through both Garrus and Tali. I myself as a straight man has fallen into the Zevran romance in DAO just because of his easy going attitude.
Which was kind of my point: People fall in love with characters for more than just their looks.
To quote myself: A strong, beautiful, smart, and ruthlessly determined woman is sexy by default. Why cheapen her character with a sexed-up outfit and stupid camera angles?
This is why I fail to see how Ashley's new look will compromise her and make her just another piece of eye candy for us hormone-driven, deprived young men who needs a ******-fest to get through the game.
Because it runs contrary to her character. She said outright that she wouldn't wear something like that. It'd be like a character that said shields are for chums having the most powerful shields in the game.
Those of us who know Ashley will find her attractive/unattractive no matter what she wear, heels be damned.
Of course, but what about the ones that don't? What about the people that didn't play ME1 or 2 and hardly know anything about her?
A cover doesn't have to tell you absolutely everything about the book, but it at least should get the damn title right.

Oh my... I said it
....Ummm yeah, there are women who love high heels...but in Battle?...
...would do a lot more for me than watching Miranda's dental flossed ass.
