Miranda has to be in ME3, she is the most interesting squad member in Mass Effect.

I thought Miranda was straight up awesome.



I think it's cool when randomly in combat when she downs someone she'll be like "YES!"

okay, maybe thats creepy, but seriously, she's pretty cool. Good personal quest, very versatile, great dialogue, AND she tells TiM to shove it.

It's Australian, not British

I disliked her alot before the game came out. As I played I ended up liking her more, now she's a fellow sister buddy to my FemShep!

Miranda is an interesting character, in my opinion, she and Jack are similar in who they are, just not how they deal with it. Miranda was genetically created by her father and other superior genetic material (she shares the tube thing with Grunt). Jack was altered from birth in a Cerberus lab, just dealt with it differently and had a very different environment.



The more she begins to open up, and it becomes less about what she is, and more about who she is, it seams like throughout the game and time with Shepard she stops looking at her credentials so much (yes I know you stared at her credentials too), and began to realize there was more there. I like that kind of character development.

Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda's VA, is Australian though.

Never get over mistrust of Cerberus. She starts supporting Cerberus so fully. Can't trust. No connection. Maybe as character who isn't as I am.

I personally view her trust and support of Ceberus as rationalizations. You ask why she likes it, and she says basically that it gave her a chance to excel and use your abilities. It doesn't seem like she's really, really into the cause--she comes off as much less xenophobic on a personal level then Ashley does initially.

And if it's one thing I've learned about Bioware characters, it's that the PC's relationship with them has influence over time. You can change Ashley's attitude about aliens, Leliana's attitude towards the Chantry, and eventually you can change Miranda's attitude towards Cerberus. This is especially since certain characters make an effort to push you away at first; Miranda and Jack being the obvious ME2 examples.

(Although I felt a little railroaded I couldn't do it earlier, after TiM's stunt on the Collector Ship. "I reccomend you don't tell your crew," he says, and I was thinking, "OH, we'll see about that when my dialogue wheel comes up!" But it never did, I had to wait until the end.)

I enjoyed the character... Plus she's a great teamate: Warp, Overload and the Cerebus Officer bonuses- she was such a big help on Insanity.

Miranda was easily the best squadmember, and possily the best leading female in a game ever.

Miranda is good but Morrigan is the best! THE BEST ^^

MIranda: Either you or Garrus must die to kill the Reapers.

Shepard: That's terrible.

Miranda: There's a way out, however, a loophole....

[DeathCultArm]

WTF is Morrigan? This is about Miranda...

[Cutlass Jack]

I couldn't warm up to Miranda. She wouldn't let me use the flamethrower on her.

[DeathCultArm]

^Dude, you fail....

[Vamp44]

I always liked Miranda..and it wasn't for the looks. Her character was one I wanted to breakdown and get to understand..which I did and enjoyed.

[durty1cal]

I came into the game thinking I would hate Miranda (even though I think Yvonne Strahovski is damn hot) and slowly warmed up to her after her quest. When she started to open up, it reminded me of women I've dated in my past-- insanely hot with all sorts of personal issues-- and I couldn't help but make her my Shepard's LI.



I felt she was much more developed than Liara in ME1, so in my mind, I didn't cheat on Liara because our relationship is done.

[DeathCultArm]

I don't see how you people thought she was soooo "bad" before you even had the game, anyway.

[MobiusTyr]

Miranda was written perfectly. I like her.

I didn't think she was bad before I had the game...I was still attached to the ME1 characters, and wasn't planning on leaving Ashley for "newer, better, ME2 girl." But Miranda won me over, in time. (I think the "why won't this elevator go faster?" was a major turning point =)). And catching an interview with Yvonne just before I got the game gave me some perspective on the character, too.

Hoping for major Miranda/Ashley drama in ME3!

(Given the huge number of ME1 to ME2 to love triangles, Bioware has their work cut out for them...)

Actually quite the opposite. I love her actress on 'Chuck' and couldn't wait to see her in game. It as only after I got to know her I couldn't stand her.

like Miranda doesn't feel like she's her own person.

This is something I've been thinking about.

Miranda knows that she's a tool for both. Despite this, I think the reason she follows TIM is that at least he gave her a choice. Because of the way both her father and TIM perceived her, she came to act as expected of her, someone who only lives to perform her duties as best as she could. Hence her lack of self-worth.

It's obvious why Miranda chooses Shepard in the end. If you have her as a squadmate throughout the game, you come to realize she's got a good sense of right and wrong by all the comments she makes. The only occasions where her perception is eschewed is when it comes to Cerberus, and it's more a question of not believing Cerberus could be involved in evil actions than defending such actions.

But that's understandable, from her point of view. Cerberus not only protected her and her sister, but the way it operates is through cells that are independent and anonimous to each other. If TIM, being the cunning bastard he is, wanted to keep her loyalty, it's obvious he'd keep her away from the most twisted endeavors of Cerberus, just like with Jacob. For the past 2 years her assignment was pretty straightforward, resurrecting Shepard.

Thanks to Shepard, she came to see she could become so much more than the proxy of TIM or her father, resulting in the endgame finger to TIM.
