There is so much butthurt in this post, lol. I think you should just get over the fact that not everyone is into your chosen waifu, and that I find her as exciting as a rusty screwdriver.
I don't care that you don't like Miranda, I care that your reasoning is nonsensical and stupid. You admit to not liking the first impression she gives you and that you didn't talk to her very much, so you don't find her interesting.
Surprise, when you don't talk to somebody, you end up not being familiar with their personality, thus they seem boring. Add on the fact that you didn't like the first impression, and even if she was interesting, your view would still be biased because of the initial dislike. That this is evidently evading you somehow is blowing my mind.
Daddy issues (yes I used it again. I just love ignoring definitions), tight fitting outfits meant to attract teenagers and not much else does not an interesting character make for me.
I always love it when someone says "because teenagers" or "because horny kids", completely and totally ignoring the literary and artistic origins of why a character would appear a certain way. I've already mentioned before that Miranda is an inversion of the femme fatale commonly seen in classic noir, where (a basic, rough outline) a female character would attempt to seduce the protagonist, only to later betray him in the revelation that she was working for the antagonist of the story (or was the antagonist herself). Femme fatale's are commonly depicted as sexy, because that's the entire point. Her romance arc is even reminiscent of a femme fatale's, with the exception that the protagonist is the one initiating the relationship. The inversion comes from the fact that she ends up betraying the antagonist at the end (she tells the Illusive Man to go f**k himself when he orders Miranda to stop Shepard from destroying the Collector base), and that Shepard is the one who begins the romance.
But please, tell me how they only did it to appease teenagers. You'll probably agree that they made DefaultShep's face after that of a male model's to attract women in the 18-35 demographic, and totally not because he represents the heroic ideal (and his gruff look contributes to Shepard being a soldier in the Navy).
And I was referring to the outfit and her "help me, Shephard" attitude later.
In ME2 or ME3? If you're referring to ME2, she doesn't have a 'help me, Shepard' attitude, she simply asks for Shepard's help on a mission. It isn't like she's an impotent damsel unable to act on her own. She still does her job and functions perfectly normal regardless of whether or not her loyalty mission is undertaken.
If you mean ME3, then you're flat-out wrong, because not is SHEPARD the one who offers to help her, but she rejects his help.
Seriously, Breadmax said it best when he said she seems to just love you from the power of Shephard's junk in ME 3.
This statement is so devoid of meaning and context that it may as well be a non-sequitur.
It was annoying and she spat out the same daddy crap from the previous game. Seriously, I'm trying to save the galaxy, I don't have time for your BS.
In what way is this a problem with Miranda's character, and not a problem with the fact the ME games are RPGs? Her loyalty mission in ME2 is a side mission. Side missions are, by definition, irrelevant and detached from the main plot. In ME3, Miranda is practically a non-factor in the mission where she appears. It concludes in the same exact fashion regardless of whether or not she's even there.
