Sorry for not answering earlier. Got caught up in some things.
It's a little hard to explain how i feel about her.
She has a good grasp on how differently poeple react to certain things, and with that knowledge, asserts her views and presents herself a certain way  - leaving no doubts about where she stands. At the same time she seems to express reservations about that whole process. 
   

  Oh yeah, I definitely do see her as someone that feels the need to always present herself as an uncompromising officer who knows what's up. She's naturally domineering and straight forward but I feel that at certain points in her life she would really like to drop the hardened attitude. It's simply impossible for her to do because of habit and the expectations of others (once people know you in a certain way, it's hard to show yourself from another angle). I think one of her major problems is not being able to reconcile a softer, more understanding side, and a need to push her childhood trauma to the wayside. She credits her strength for surviving Batarian slavery but does not like to aknowledge that some things are simply out of your control, no matter how hardened you may be.

I'm looking forward to seeing as time goes, and  ties between people she considers friends grow stronger, if indeed their expectations (mainly Indra maybe opening up more) - or any major moment in her carrer for that matter - will offer her a healthier balance. As oppose to only what is expected from her as an officer.
Edit:
It is easy to explore past/present events from Shepard's perspective(like i'm doing with Akuze right now). But laying down her feelings, or trying to map out the kind of person she is, has proven very difficult. Shepard doesn't fall into any particular category for me; everything is pretty much on the table - and fair game. It is also why i never(rarely) refer to her as renegade or paragon(my main Shep that is). I feel a little like that - to a certain measure - when it comes to Indra.  

@LadyAly: I too always assumed that Kayleigh was closer to Jack. My Deirdre's closer to Miranda too - even though she adores Jack. I'm so sad that there isn't more to say in her conversations with any/ both of them(mostly with Jack) toward the end of ME2.

@Tup: did you ever imported Tiia with that haircut in ME2 or 3?

I have not. Might do that at some point.









I think she could pull off that hairstyle look too.

Thanks. By the way, there's new MP DLC coming. That just made my odds to unlock the things I want even smaller, heh.

Miranda's loyalty mission was a turning point for Naomi.

I think I mentioned this in passing before, but in my backstory for Naomi, she had a younger sister named Irem. They ran around in gangs together growing up, and they were both great hackers and great fighters, and powerful biotics to boot. Naomi was extremely protective of Irem, and they gained quite a reputation for themselves working together with the Reds.

Long story short, when Naomi was 17 and Irem was 15, Irem went on a solo mission to assassinate the leader of a rival gang. The getaway driver got attacked, leaving Irem trapped at the scene, where she was killed in the ensuing gunfight.

Naomi blamed the Reds, and herself, and left the gang and spiraled into drugs for a year before pulling herself together and enlisting. She hates herself for how she acted that year, and the fact that she let her grief completely immobilize her. Since then, she hasn't let death and loss affect her as much, and doesn't have much sympathy for those who do, or who use it as an excuse to act irrationally.

ANYWAY the point of all this is that despite everything, she still does deeply sympathize with Miranda's need to protect her sister. After Miranda's loyalty mission, the two of them finally reach an understanding with each other, and possibly even become (dare I say it?) friends.











For some reason I really love that last picture, even though they're all so unposed. Probably because it actually looks like a real candid photograph?

@merylisk: I remember Naomi's backstory and how her sister's passing affected her.

I also think Miranda is a divisive character.
It is interesting to see how she went from her father's tyranny to The Illusive Man's - even though she thought she'd done it on her own terms. That's probably the extent of the trauma she suffered as a kid. In my fanfic, that naivety is initially what irritates Jack so much; being herself a victim of it (at least Jack views it as naivety - though both were driven by a false sense of belonging). I like to think that Deirdre did in fact help Miranda brake that cycle.

Can't wait to get my hands on it, I be saving creds like crazy.
I actually laughed when I read the DLC's name cause it's exactly the same that they leaked in Pastebin & clevernoob some days ago. That makes me think if everyting else written there is also true. (Priestly denied it all though as always )

Those were exactly my thoughts about Miranda when I completed the game. I believe she happily lived in an illusion of independency. She thought running away from her father would fix everything ; even her in the long run, but she ended up serving the Illusive Man instead. She comes off as this strong woman, who is loyal to her ideals and Cerberus despite everyone's accusations but ends up leaving TIM in the end. I do know that this is Shepard's influence that she began to view things from another prospective but it also proves that she is naive enough to choose sides so easily at first (and involve in experiments of different sorts as well as Cerb. operations ) only to leave when things get heated. Part of me would like Miranda to stay back with Cerberus and not leave for the sake of the plot, but the other part of me respects her for thinking for herself and making the right choice at last.

I spend more time fixing Skyrim than I do playing it, I swear. I liken it to spinning plates. You have to be very precise and very careful or everything will just fall down and break. Though it's generally worth it when I DO get it working!

Here is my Dragonborn - a wood elf named Eyil (from whom I got my Bioware username!). I use so so so many mods, the only thing about her that isn't modded is her race. And the chest on that armour isn't as big as it appears. It's a bit of a perspective problem. Also, I should start taking screenshots Bethesda's way. Steam takes away my third party SMAA filter.

EDIT: Looking back at all the wonderful Femsheps in this thread - it's quite funny, I see a lot of people tend to have a definite style.  Tup3xi and those cute cheeks, Merylisk and sharp, angular features with pronounced cheekbones... I'll have to dig a bit deeper to see if it happens with the rest of you guys, but it's interesting to see that there's a definite style going on when making characters! I know that I tend to give my characters long features with gaunt cheeks. Do you guys employ the same style in other games where you make your characters? I'm pretty sure I do.
Sorry, that seemed like a trainwreck of a question right there.

Never had any bug in Skyrim - its the DVD Version. But Steam always is tricking me - guess it hates me:P 
Tiia should look very awesome with this hairstyle - I'm sure  

@merylisk I like the last screenshot of Naomi very much,too. I understand well Naomi's feelings about Miranda and I remember the background aswell.

@SaturnRing I agree with you about the Jack / FemShep dialogue. Play with a Male and Jack Romance then you have much more to discover and fun  I really enjoyed it  

@N7Calibrator Wee- another flycam awesomness of Electra

@Eyil Nice SKyrim Character :happy:  
About the game - and playstyle I can only say I love to discover all possibilties. So I have mostly quite different characters, decisions and professions. If this is a playstyle - then its a yes, though.

It is a Steam game, doesn't matter if you bought it digitally or the DVD, it is the same. ;-) I bought retail version since it was cheaper. And thanks! Nice shots!

Yes I know that, but it looks to me its not as prone as the pure Net-Version ( probably I'm just lucky). BTW = nothing is cheaper then a b-day gift  and thx :happy:

Oh, that's Tiia with the bun? I should've figured that. I guess the bun threw me off.

Great shots, LadyAly! I love that fight with the Shadow Broker. And I mostly mean character creation: some people (myself included) seem to give all or most of their characters similar features.

And I got the retail version of Skyrim too. It was originally to save on HDD space, but since it just installs onto the HDD through Steam anyway, that doesn't matter. It installs much quicker than doing it through Steam, though. And it was cheaper.

I don't think I have this habit, since I am *obsessed* by Character Creation - especially DA:O with toolset.
But judge yourself and look at my albums if you like

Yeah, I was just about to post that she's the same gal with different hairstyle.

About that character thing... Well I'm not actually sure. I never had female character in Oblivion and I currently play my firs character (male nord warrior with heavy armour) in Skyrim that most definitely doesn't look similar to Tiia for example. I plan to make sneakier light armour female character at some point. All my female characters look the same except few colour differences (example1, example2) in SWTOR (they're all sisters, heh). Males are different. Still, the CC is quite limited since you can only pick face structure.

I don't try to make 'em look the same between game games but I tend to end up making the same character all over again if I try starting from scratch so thus I have only one Shep for example. I'll probably try creating Siru today in to see how she ends up.

@Flies_by_Handles
I have to say that few pages back when I read a bit too quickly I thought that you were talking about the sniper rifle instead of her. "Fun with Indra." Or something like that, me and my reading skills. xD

@Tup: I agree with Sinapus. DO IT

@N7 Calibrator: absolutely for Miranda; that moment with The Illusive Man was probably the first time she really thought on her own, and broke the chains from her past - so to speak.

@Eyil: Cool Dragonborn character. About your question my approach changes from one game to the other. The character has to perfectly fit in the game's context. For example in Skyrim it was important to give my Nord character what i consider to be believable Viking features. My Breton, Irish ones. My Imperial, Roman...and so on.

@LadyAly: about the Shadow Broker; what a huge task to take him down. Yet Kayleigh seems so blaze about it. Just like another day at work for her. All she wants is be done with it and be with Liara. But it is such a big deal. The whole Universe fears him. Shepard just saw a crook. Femshep is indeed badass.

@Flies_by_handles: I agree. Unlike Grunt's reaction the first time he set foot on Tuchanka. It made a big impression on me specially in ME2. I also thought the pragmatism (borderline cruelty) shown by some Krogans Shepard spoke to, was very well written. I have a soft spot for them particularly the Shaman.

Haha, wow, I see more people than I expected like to vary their characters quite drastically! I love playing around with the CCs and such, and making different characters who look different, but I guess I just noticed that a lot of my characters are quite gaunt, not very tarted up/made up and, if possible, have quite wiry, gristly or muscular bodies. That said, I do also like making Eyil and Catherine in different games too. I made Cathy in Guild Wars 2 and Eyil in DAO. I know that Audience has a thing for characters with chubbier cheeks and fuller lips too.

LadyAly: Wow, you have a lot of characters in your albums! They all look great, and just ooze personality! Very, very interesting characters!

Flies_by_Handles: I'm not that clued in on Fallout (I need to play it, I know, I'm horrible and I need to play it), but those characters look great, and definitely fit with the post-apocalyptic theme. That in itself is great, but coupled with Oblivion's CC engine? You've pretty much done the impossible!

Tup3xi: Great looking SWTOR characters! I can definitely see the similarities, but MMOs are generally more limiting in that regard, as you say. Still, they both look great!
