*makes his weekly post as he kind of mass effeted out for now*



In regards to marriage remember your dealing with a Bioware character, and i remember playing the Viconia Jaheira romances from BG2 ad never thought either were the kids marring type, but both have it(know they both talk of kids in the end think and Jaheira's says they got married) My point every Bioware character can have a "happy ending" if can see it or not marriage kids whatever, I can see how they opened the door that a character like Miranda could want that



In regards to most attractive

Miranda and Morrigan i tie at the top

Ash

Viconia

Jaheira

Leliana

Silk Fox(oh yea i went to Jade Empire since everyone forgets about it)



*hates wimpy whinny Alistair gladly trades Loghian for him 9 times out of 10*



Hale would make a bad Miranda not her kind of voice role,(Hale will alwas be Namio Hunter to me) and if she played like she played female Shepard i could never go into Miranda's office like i can never play a female Shep



well keep up the fine thread work and have a great day

Just noticed, I almost never call Miranda "Miri" on the thread. Wonder why?

I don't think I've ever called Miranda that either. I suppose I find it easier to type Miranda since I've been doing the transcripts...

Me too. I avoid it on purpose. Calling her "Miri" in discussions about her feels like inappropriate familiarity she wouldn't encourage, and anyway it's the Shepard I play, not me, who's in love with her. I could not call her "Miri" without feeling I disrespect her.

A fine taste you have good sir. *tips hat*

I think you may be on to something Ieldra.

I've been going through gutty's transcripts and I'm not sure what it says about me that I think the second sweetest moment in the romance behind "no promises" is the option to call it off in the same covo. Something about the whole "Until then...friends" and holding hands is more tender than most of the actual romance. Am I weird?

No. I found it terribly sweet when I was recording it...

I've managed to cobble together random bits from all the various options to create my Shep's actual romance.

You requested an invalid category or you do not have permission to view this forum.

lol wut? I hate when that happens.

[jtav]

gutty, I've done one better and mentally created a whole script filled with things I wish had happened. Wouldn't work in game because its tailored to "my" Shep but it works for me.

Back from classes, good to see the forum back up to speed.

For the record, all BioWare RPG's and their stories were awesome, and it's fact not opinion. I will not budge from that point if someone decides to argue this so don't bother

As for calling Miranda "Miri", it's not so much an innapropriate name (as nicknames never are as long as they aren't intended as an insult, in which case Miri is nowhere near an insult to Miranda), but rather an easier way or "cute/loving" way to say her name, as Mavi said a "pet name". In the game, Miranda wasn't bothered by Niket calling her Miri, in which case the name is appropriate and can be used selectively. I for one use it occasionally and try not to think about it as the nickname itself isn't a big deal whatsoever.

For the speculation on marriage and other things, I don't think about that either, as trying to guess or speculate something about a character in a story that doesn't have enough progression yet is pointless as I believe Mac Walters will write the story out in a way he and us the players will appreciate. Premature speculation will have consequences when ME3 comes out. I want to know Miranda and Shepard as they are intended by the original writer and not worry about making big speculation.

Trust/Reliance is only a weakness when it is premature (trusting someone you just met for instance). Truly knowing someone and having them know you and placing your trust upon them in that instance is never weakness. In all these instances collaboration between the two parties is needed. There is no way to argue this as it is human nature.



Okay I'm done rambling. Where's my favorite zombie apocaylpse?

I have....and I have used pet names, too. But never when talking about someone, only when talking to that person. The only exception has been my sister, and she'd been insisting that we stop until we did.

redbadger: I've never been one to set much store by what authors intend. I firmly believe the author is dead. Speculation is fun. I don't want Bioware to tell me what happens after the Reapers are defeated. I'd rather imagine it for myself.

[kraidy1117]

*walks in* O.o tender..................

[redBadger14]

@jtav: And that's fine, I have nothing against it, just that I believe Mac Walters has been writing this series for years, and I would reserve my thoughts for after "official" happenings in the story. Besides you are an avid and good fanfic writer so you need to be on your toes with the speculation to keep your stories healthy

And if it seems I offended people in my above post, none was intended.

[SgtPotato]

Found it in funny comic strip thread.

[jtav]

Haha.

in all seriousness, it seems to be a pretty common theory that among certain groups that Miranda stole Oriana to spite her father. Where does that even come from?

Just a point of interest: Miranda says that Oriana was created to "replace" her. I now think her life was in imminent danger when she ran away. Every time I read the loyalty mission dialog, I get a little more creeped out.

That's the impression I also get. I think Miranda's father is the type to kill his failed "experiments", and Miranda was  running away because she discovered what had happened to her sisters, by this action being tagged as failed by her father. Things like this - being killed because of failing to meet certain criteria - aren't unheard of even today.

The theory that Miranda just wanted to spite her father is an almost inevitable result of not believing what she says about him. This - overdramatizing the flaws of a parent and taking excessive action out of misplaced outrage - is also not unheard of, so I'm not surprised that some people think this.

Of course I'm inclined to believe her, as I do my other team members as a rule. As long as I have no reason to suspect her, I'll take her word for it. It helps that her concern for her sister is clearly genuine when you play her loyalty mission, so she either deceives herself or BioWare has put in a really evil subplot with Miranda, and both I discount as implausible.

And with that thought, good night. It's already been too long. Yet again.

[jtav]

The thing about disbelieving her is that it makes nearly every bit of characterization we get for her a lie. Why spend hours setting up such an elaborate deception for a character who may be dead? I must admit it would make her a truly despicable villain, but the time for that reveal is past. (Evil!Miranda would have made for a better boss battle than the T-1000 knockoff, that's for sure)

[jtav]

You know, considering my role as thread sourpuss, I completely suck at turning her into a blackhearted Vamp. Closest I can come is Well Intentioned Extremist.

[jtav]

Anybody home? This is bizarre.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Holy...

1444 pages? That's insane, lol.

Anyway, went through 2/3 of a speed run to unlock some talent and I gotta say, Miranda was amongst my faves. I usually liked aloof hard-assed characters, so this one was a no-brainer.

Her having the most versatile initial set of talents and quite a few hilarious pro-Cerberus condescending lines didn't hurt either.

Sorry, jtav, I'm usually silent when I have nothing to say. Or something.



So, um, Shepard/Miranda for ME power couple.
