No I just find it hugely ironic when someone who sits on a games forum argues that a character that looks like Miranda is ugly yet I would be hugely surprised if they were able to 'bag' a girl/woman who looked half as good. Ridiculously high 'standards' are fine when they're realistic...otherwise it's just stupid.

Has anyone considered that there may be an 'uncanny valley" type of effect going on here?

Stop dissing Yvonne. She's actually a nice actress, and not stuck up like most hollywood stars are.

They only weird thing I notice in Miranda's face was her two front teeth were sightly longer than the rest, but her VA seems to had the same type of teeth so I guess that's normal. I just wish Miranda's eyebrows would move more while she's talking.

dude, miranda is way hotter then ashley, and talk about a tight ass man

Yvonne Strahovski is a good looking woman, but Bioware gave Miranda a fivehead.

[Lmaoboat]

I got the feeling that her face wasn't animated right. She always looks like she has the same expression.

Haha, I think her and Jack would be prison-mates...

she looks pretty good in the intro cutscene, but in game, idk, her upper lip is a little weird. still hot though, i am compelled to put her in my squad every time i go on a mission. she just looks so hot in that black suit.

[baedeker]

Miranda is hot from certain angles and not so in other angles. I think that it has to do with the cheapo way which Bioware scanned Yvonne Strahovski's face.

She mentioned in an interview here, that all Bioware did was scan her face and didn't perform any motion capture to mimic her facial expressions and how her face would look from certain angles. So it was bascially a static image plastered on a computer generated body.

However, that said, Yvonne Strahovski does have a "strong" jaw line (see pic here) so the odd overly masculine jawline which people have complained of, is actually "accurate".

I am unsure on which platform most of the naysayers are judging Miranda's looks upon but based on my 1920x1280 resolution @ 16x AA and AS, i daresay that she is hot albeit not perfect.

Miranda's face is messed up bad. It's much wider than the original

Yvonne Strahovski is a beautiful girl in rl.

Teeth are odd and in profile she looks fine but there is something almost bloated about her frontal face view. The model she's based on has much sharper lines.

I disagree that she looks like Yvonne (the VA). The jawline is off, and it makes all the difference between a feminine face and a masculine face. Her appearance in the rendered trailer videos (the one that plays if you don't "press any key" when you launch the game) is amazing. I think that appearance was a marketing decision. Her in game masculine face is probably due to the genetic template they used to create her (In first conversation ask her about her mother). There is no argument over the body, but she is definitely a butter face as far as video games go.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that.

[Jersey75639]

Idk, I think her face was a long way off from ugly.

[SarEnyaDor]

Her body is less weird and jarring in the black armor.

For a CG character, she looked great.  I found the character attractive, and the butt shots elevated my pulse.  If I were to pick a character for romance based entirely on her attractiveness, Miranda would win with no contest.  Tali got tapped, so to speak, for my first playthrough because the incomparable voice acting sold the character's devotion and vulnerability, not because she made my parts tingle.

The Miranda issue is definitely an "uncanny valley" scenario.  Miranda's character has a lot in common with Aida from Unreal 2, but if you look at Aida you can see that the edges are rough enough for the viewer to polish a lot of detail with imagination.  Miranda is lifelike enough that you start to believe what you see, but that makes every flaw stand out.

BioWare did a great job (in my opinion) with the tech available.  While theoretically possible, making the characters in ME2 (or even ME3) possess the lifelike perfection of CG characters from Avatar would have made this game take forever to make at a prohibitive cost, and the game would only run on the bleeding edge of gaming rigs - forget consoles.

All things considered, I'm impressed that the game both looks better and runs faster than the original.

I wouldn't say ugly, but definitely not to my tastes.

[CerealWar]

It's not that Miranda's face wasn't accurately modeled after Yvonne Starhovski's. I think Miranda's face just points out how unattractive Yvonne Starhovski is. I also have to disagree with people who say Ashley is unattractive. She was very attractive. It's just that her voice actress was horrible and they kept feeding her goofy lines to make her appear "tomboyish."
