For the sake of on-topicness, if you would indulge me, I was wondering what the denizens of this thread would consider the ideal conclusion to Miranda's romance in ME3, if any of you have pondered upon that.


Well, I've posted what the majority of us Mirimaniacs would love to see happen in ME3 on the OP. Pertaining specifically to her romance, I'm sure each of us differ. For instance, I would personally love the option to have either a marriage or just a solid conclusion that Shepard and Miranda will stay together. Simple :)


I'd say I agree with Shinobi, but that's a given by now. :lol:

Thanks. I joke about torturing Miranda, but it's all good fun, right? I just think Miranda has more issues than National Geographic. I don't go overboard, do I? Sometimes I wonder, the way you guys talk, and I wonder why I seem to be the only one who thinks it's easy to go to dark places with her.

I don't see quite as many issues. I'm thinking, for instance, of your Miranda/Morinth story. You've hinted at what this will be about (or is it already out and I haven't noticed?), and personally, I don't think Miranda would be vulnerable to Morinth. Your version is one interpretation of her character. Not one I would make, but not out-of-character nonetheless.

Sombody important needs to die... LI being a prime candidate. ME1 got that right. You don't fight armageddon and pull the whole team through in one piece.

Does anyone else think Karpyshyn got sidelined for ME2? Yeah, his name is there, but it doesn't feel like everything else I've read/played with him as lead. Anyway, I hope he's back for 3.

We have discussed that more than once. Since there are so many very different opinions, I'd like a few different options at the end.

My personal favorite would be the equivalent to them "going off into the sunset" together, maybe leaving on a starship for an unknown destination. This, for me, symbolizes that they go on to live together while not being bound by the rules of the civilization they leave behind. The represent something new, for themselves, and for humanity. What that is, we do not know.

I would very much dislike a marriage. Because this represents exactly the opposite of the above. They'd go on to live together, but they are not a symbol of change but of stagnation.

I apologize. I really never check the OP of character threads.

Thanks for your input. I'm hoping the LIs will get something of that sort. I can handle ambiguity, but we should still get some sort of indication that they will be sticking together.

(where's that pic of default Shep looking like that when you need it)

Awesome, Strikor. Just awesome. I don't have more to say.

Edit:
I might like the other version a bit better.

Lemme see if I can ask something that won't kill the thread:
In game, Miranda will fall for a Shep of pretty much any personality type. But what kind of guy is her usual type? What attracts her? Repulses her? I admit I don't find Shepard very interesting in and of himself, so I usually design my Sheps with their role as Miranda's partner and foil in mind.

Hard to see what she would like. Easier to see what she would not like: someone with fixed thought patterns, who is not mentally flexible. Also someone who is not in control of his emotions most of the time. I think she would not like the mindset that would lead to a "pure" Paragon or Renegade Shepard.

I also have a dumb question. How would Alliance personnel get from one groundside posting to another? Aboard a military craft or would they be responsible for their own transportation? Specifically, if Shep's been Reassigned to Antartica (some space station or other) how's he going to get there?

If it's anything like present-time military, they'd get financial help to move but would still be responsible for organizing their own transport. Exception: if it's a remote outpost with no civlilian presence, then they'd get an Alliance transport. Not necessarily a military craft.

At the risk of showing my geekiness, would it be too much to give Miranda's genuine last name (or, more on point, her father's) as some variation of Osborn/Osborne/Osbourne? I always imagined he was a lot like Norman, or at least Norman when he's not the Goblin.

I very much dislike names you easily associate with something else. It makes you mentally switch worlds involuntarily. Having said that, that name doesn't ring any bells with me, so I have nothing against it except I don't like how it sounds.

Because they were in the first game. Don't you know the ME cast can do no wrong? *rolls eyes*

Makes me wonder though: how does she know about the husks and rachni? Did TIM tell her? She obviously wasn't on site or she'd be dead. Part of me wants one of those projects to be her idea (in a "husks would make good shock troops" sense not "lets turn an entire colony into husks" sense), but have other people responsible for implementing them in ways that turned into atrocities.


Ah I was not aware of the ME1 rule. Image IPB  Kaidan and Ashley seem to be exempt from that rule though.

What exactly she knows is a point of speculation.  She has access to alot of Cerberus files but clearly not everything.  She seemed to be rather shocked, and honestly shocked, at the details of the Subject Zero project.  Though I am not sure how raising kids to be biotic superpeople was ever going to be ethically squeaky clean.

I say it depends on the methods. I don't see anything bad in the purpose of raising super-biotic children as such.

As for what Miranda might have known: if you don't know Rachni are intelligent, experimenting on them doesn't seem that bad. Not worse than breeding and training dogs for battle like they do in DAO. And Cerberus didn't set them free on purpose in ME1 - they escaped (remember the logs at Sigma-23?).
Thorian Creepers are just mindless zombies. That they look humanoid isn't enough reason for special consideration.

That leaves the husks. I don't think Miranda would come up with the idea of using husks if she knew they were made from humans. And since the events on Eden Prime, I think, became pretty much common knowledge in the informed circles, I don't think anyone like Miranda could have remained ignorant for long.

Edit:
What's going on? Has the thread died since I started reading and answering the stuff of the last 14 hours?

Probably. I'm organising dinner at the moment. I am reading your comments however and enjoying them.

 Hi !
I've just watched last Chuck episode, it was awesome. It's the perfect season 3 final episode. I don't think the 6 more episodes are necessary. but I won't complain.
I even recognized some places in Paris in this episode. This afternoon I will do shopping in Paris and I will be not far away from the bridge ("Pont Marie") where the action is supposed to take place. :P

The first part of season 3 is not as good as I expected but maybe we'll have a good second part.

On another note, looks like we got just over another 4200 pages to go before we get locked seeing as Mr Woo locked the Tali one at around the 5501 mark

Thank you, Dakgyenar, and welcome. Entry gifts are nice.

You have a strange forum name. Does it mean anything (if you don't mind me asking)?

...
@all:
Still no Kasumi. I'm off to play Miranda's loyalty mission... perhaps I'll get some screenshots that don't look too much like what we already know.
