She's like "me, me, me then me, my sister, my evil dad, me, me"

Boring char, the only reason she's popular it's because dat ass.


My, what a fine literary analysis.

And by "fine literary analysis", I mean "incessantly inane dribble".

I can get not liking the character, but it would help if you actually stated a reason as to why.

Miranda had the main roles in ME2.
In ME3 she was pretty much left out. Too many characters in mass effect, you cannot possibly keep everyone happy so like it or not certin characters will be left out. Miranda was awesome, the super ****y attitude in me2 was great. Would of loved to see a cat fight between her and jack.

Also, gettin' banged by Jacob, another uninteresting character, (not to be confused with bad, I tend to like Jacob) makes her more uninteresting by association.

The focus was on the newer characters. And Liara. God, was it on Liara.

Yeah. Her. Three missions where she is an obligatory squadmate. I don't exactly mind, it was fitting, but Miranda should've been that on Cronos Station. She had been there, after all, as opposed to EDI. Instead they let her get wounded so they could keep her away from the one place in ME3 where she should have appeared.

the writers purposely alter characters to confuse the issue. Dirty trick right there! , Makes it hard to follow the other days of our MEU lives..lol

Miranda was my favorite squaddie in ME2. I thought she was a nice change from most other squad mates who were clearly your subordinates. Miranda on the other hand was an equal to Shepard and I found it refreshing honestly.

After so much time.......my mind still doesn't comprehend this decision.  :mellow:

She's both.

Half the time she's interesting, funny and enjoyable to talk to. Learning about herself and the way she was genetically perfect was great, and I wish they went further with this. However, the other half of the time she's going on about her sister and her father and Cerberus and...mmph, yawn.

For those that aren't especially invested in Miranda's character, this can be a bit of a drag.

Good times.

I vehemently disagree with Miranda being a boring character.

I personally think she is the best squadmate in the entire trilogy.

Professionally, she represents the person who believes in the greater good and accomplishes that through necessary ruthlessness.

She's engineered for physical perfection, and in more than one way. I find it interesting with how she can come to terms with that sort of 'synthetic' organic background.

On a romantic level, she isn't gushing her heart out like the other LI's at Shepard's stature - she looks at everything he's done and says a sarcastic 'that's all?' Both she and Shepard are sophisticated and complex characters if you so choose, and they fit each other perfectly.

She is in my opinion, not just the best romance option for Shepard, but the only romance option.

Miranda is a mystery woman, and along with her incredible physical attractiveness (in no small part to Yvonne Strahovski, my own celebrity crush) embodies all that I want in a woman.

And her Australian nationality makes her that much more desirable.

My list of fictional women that kinda/sorta show the type of woman I'm into.  My list for the ideal women

1) Miranda Lawson (Mass Effect)
2) Sarah Walker (Chuck: also Yvonne Strahovski)
3) Bastila Shan (KotOR)
4) Hannah McKay (Dexter: also YS)
5) Emma Frost (X-Men)
6) Vesper Lynd (Casino Royale)
7) Mara Jade (Star Wars Expanded Universe)

Also I don't think Miranda's infetility will long stop her from having kids. She did bring a man back from death afterall.



agree glad to see another miranda fan here

To be honest, the 'Miranda Wars' weren't even about Miranda.

They were petty and stupid and I regret my part in them, but Miranda wasn't really a factor at all.

It was mostly disagreements over different poster's personalities and opinions, on different matters.

ME2 = interesting and intriguing.

ME3 = orioriorioriorioiri    seriously, that was the limit of her involvement in the Reaper war.

Well.....she does put the tracer on Kai Leng which leads you to TIMs base.
But then again, in a game were she died, you still find it and changes nothing.
yay........<_<

Not bad not good, just, part of what you would expect. A commando receptionist.

Shoots people while off the ships, answers phonecalls and writes reports while not shooting people... There to make reports for TIM, and remind the almost braindead commadner that there is a job to do.

God that has to be the most boring sex ever. Just imagining Miranda getting fed up and browsing the extra-net while Jacob tries and fails to please her, oh god...

She was alright. A bit snooty at first, but she developed nicely over time and drastically improved by ME3.

I still can't let her chewing Joker out after the Collector attack go though. Why is it you can only ignore her and comfort Joker or agree with the stupid cow?

Try to be understandable, the whole mission was inches close to be completly ruinned.
I don't agree with her reaction either, but it's comprehensible.

Fair enough, I just didn't like how the first thing she did was attack Joker when he had nothing to do with what went wrong.

It's indeed not very fair.

1. What Lawrence said.

2. She wasn't even present when the Collectors invaded the ship.
