lol, Shepard is observing the playing field. Image IPB


I just like the look on her face. Seen it a million times in RL.

Elcor Miranda says: "Resigned disappointment, I'm up here, Shepard."

I honestly hadn't put much serious thought to her or Shepard's interactions with their children  (if they had any), but that sounds like such an endearing and sweet moment that I couldn't think of any other way to end  her story now. As for the trials she's faced/facing... Usually a character is all the better for being  put under the  most extreme circumstances. Take Harry Potter for example. JKR was pretty brutal to him, if you really think about it, but in my mind, there is no other way his story could ever have been half as incredible as it was. I'm starting to feel the same way about your ideas toward Miranda.


Very true Meg. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for happy(ish) endings. I like it when there's a satisfying resolution to the story, for certain. For my part, a satisfying resolution to the Shep/Miri romance at the end of ME3 would have them sticking together & admitting to eachother that they're nuts about eachother. Certainly my personal view (as I've said before) has them settling down when they're ready and bringing up a family.

This would be ideal for me as well, but I will take a simple exchange of "I love you" and "I know" and still be happy with it.

Upthread I mentioned that my ultimate happy ending for Miranda is her telling her own daughter she loves her unconditionally. Most of that is because my own view of her is deeply tied to the fact that I think her dad psychologically abused her. The cycle's broken, her demons put to rest. But I'm curious: do you guys think she'll ever want kids?


How could she not!? I mean look at Shepard, I'm a guy and I want his kids.

I think that she would like to have a nice family with Shep, kids and all. She seems like she values family a lot and I believe that she would be a great mom, over-protective at times, but still a great mom.

I think every LI deserves a happy ending. Thane...well, some people still want tragedy for him. I'd suggest an ambiguous ending in that case. But I don't see any reason why someone like Miranda wouldn't have a happy ending to the romance. Bioware SHOULD do it, having our LIs die over two or more games is giving the middle finger to the fans.

Sorry MA.



I feel very strange because I place slightly less importance on the romance than some of you. I want it to end well--in universes where it happens. But mostly I want her to find someone who really does love her for herself and for her to put her demons to rest. I want her to love someone, with all the vulnerability that implies. I don't care whether that person is Shepard.

Hello Mirimaniacs. I have been really busy the past 5 days and I am finally able to return from my hiatus :) I have been recluse to any ME2 news, so what's up in that department? Also what's up with all of you?



Making dinner ATM and getting ready for Chuck. Can't wait for tonights episode :D

I highly doubt that Miranda will find anyone if Shepard didn't romance her. If you want her to be happy, the best guarantee would be romancing her as M!Shep if you're into her.

If Shepard doesn't romance her, then I agree whole heartedly.

But since I will romance her quite often, there is no worries unless BW screws us!

On placing importance... I'm a romantic at heart, so love always places first in my books.  I don't particularly care for stories that do not feature it as a significant aspect.  That is why I like Bioware so much... their games allow the player to stress what they feel is important, normally......... Awakenings.... Image IPB

I'm much the same way, action and suspense is great...I always feel like something is missing without at least an implied romance tho. Eh, what can you do?

@ jtav: I get what you're saying and I agree, if Miranda wasn't an LI I would feel the same way. Buuut she is a romance option and so seeing her with anyone but Shepard is kinda lame to me considering that I romanced her every single game (even those that I intended to romance one of the other LIs to see their respective scenes, thank you YouTube for keeping me faithful Image IPB)

Vynycakes! You've been quiet lately. Or maybe I haven't been paying attention...

Uh, both? Probably the latter though. 
Night Prudil and Hey Red, didn't see you there.
