Brilliant work RathMeg, well done. Keep it up!

Amazing work, you two. I especially like that Ashley didn't make it out of Virmire, not that I dislike Ashley, but that was the choice my Shepard made in ME, so for me it makes the story feel...I don't know, authentic (at least for me).

Edit: Congratualtions on 600 members, and 300 pages (I'm 14 pages late, I know..). The one time I become busy is when we hit two milestones.

Aww, that was great Rath/Meg. Beautifully written and, as usual, very true to the characters. I want this scene in ME3!!!

x2

all I can ask what room are they in? Or is that a suprise for later

It's Miranda's room. We said that in an earlier chapter, so hopefully you'll see that when you eventually read it in it's entirety.

Good shots Ield....

Hate though the way she can look at times in the game, she so much better in the cut scenes when she been rendered correctly. She very shadowy i've found from the ones ive taken in game.

Yes, I didn't get the lighting right in the second one. For that reason, I prefer the first one. You can't see as much of Miranda's face, but what you see is more realistic. I never get her face right when there are shadows, it must be a profile shot or in almost direct frontal light as in the one from Illium. I tried to get her face that red light you can see a glimpse of, but it didn't work. I wish we had a pose mod for ME2 - I recall the screenshots I made of Oblivion characters (all heavily modded, of course - I can't stand it unmodded). Naturally, not on ME2's level at all graphically, but there were some nice tools we could use to enhance the shots - pose mods, light gems in different colors etc..

I also like how you likened your Shepard's failure to get everyone out alive from the Collector base back to Virmire and Shepard's "failure" there. In my first playthrough I got everyone out alive, so I'd go back to what Shepard said to Kaidan about vowing to do better for Ash and have him think along the lines of "Yeah, I did do better this time didn't I?" and have a sense of pride that he'd done it.

Personally, I understood the change.

When you go through what she did - you don't come out the same.

I mean, come on - no way in hell you're going to tell me that Shepard was this ultimate tactician and fighter before Akuze? ... or whatever.

People change - and I liked the way she turned out.

That is true the characters dont see the two year pass by... I guess it is true to life, if you go into a coma and come out two years later things will be different.

Exactly - and I think a lot of people that are upset with how she turned out either got unlucky and picked the wrong dialogue choice (thus not seeing her breakdown) or just don't understand that over the course of two years, a lot can happen.

There was a breakdown? I thought I had seen everything in that scene? I also understood the change, but only in my second playthrough when I could pay attention to the subtleties. I didn't exactly like the way she turned out, but I can appreciate it from a storytelling viewpoint. This version is a lot more interesting than the ME1 version, but that version is still hidden somewhere within.

[DarthReavus]

It's not so much of a breakdown as the walls coming down for a short time. The conversation where she tells you the abridged version of the Redemption comics, about her being the reason Cerberus got their hands on you and hoping that you can forgive her.

[Andysilv]

Good point Darth, I completely agree with what you said.

Ok... I just watched an episode of Chuck on nbc.com and I have got to say, Yvonne Strahovski is very beautiful. Forget Miranda for squadmate/LI, let's have Yvonne Strahovski for Squadmate/LI lol!!!

Thank you again for all the compliments everyone - though, I have to say, that entire excerpt was written by Meg - so most of the credit for it goes to her.



Also; Mavi - you tease me.

Stop posting Rath!  You and Meg need to work non-stop with no sleep until your fanfic is ready.  I hope you have plenty of coffee

[Sledgehammer44mm]

I'm actually disappointed that we don't have a Miranda figure coming out... I mean really what gives?

They are making one of Thane and generic Shepard (not my Shepard) and others...

Same with Dragon Age except no Leliana.

I mean seriously if your going to make an action figure of everyone else why not one of Miranda or Leliana?

Hell I want one of Ashley and Liara along with Samara!

I can't buy any of the other figures now all the ones I named I would gladly give my money for.

This! Back to your quarters and don't even think about coming out until you have the finished version! We'll send sombody your way with coffee and food.


@Kalen: I can see the "Sorry Miranda, I'm leaving you for Yvonne" cutscene right now.

Ha-ha.

Very funny guys.

It's so motivational to see people enjoy your work. Inspires you to do better when you do write.

@ Darth: hehe, the one about the fic!

Ditto. I appreciate it everyone.

And Rath gives me too much credit. He edited quite a bit and enhanced it greatly in the process. Team effort all the way.

i intially hated her guts, but was begining to like her towards the end tho she was still reaaally bossy. but definitely the best squadmate with overload and warp.

[Kaiser Shepard]

Did anyone notice that if you take her with you to the cargo hold during the last mission, she will still tell Shepard they're about to clear the debris field over the intercom?

Silence!  Back to your rooms until you have finished!

@andy - It's good how Virmire can be used so many different ways after the suicide mission to gauge Shepard's thoughts isn't it?

Y'know, at first I thought it was her, but I came to the conclusion that it was EDI saying it, however I don't play with subtitles on, so I might be wrong.

One of the things that, I know I wanted to get across, is that one of the biggest similarities between Miranda and Shepard is how bad a situation can get if they make even the smallest mistake.



There is a lot of pressure on both of their shoulders - and making anything even close to the wrong choice could cause repercussions beyond repair.
