Hey I am new to the forums, but thought i would throw my support into the Miranda camp. She was a really good character, especially since i thought i wasnt going to like her in the beginning of the game but she won me over and i do support her coming back in the third game as squadmate  & LI

[jtav]

To me, the most telling line in the romance is Shepard's "What? Are you afraid you might actually start caring for someone?" I think she is terrified. Every person she cares for is someone who can hurt her. If she does fall for She[, she's virtually guaranteed to give her heart away only to see it broken when he dies in a few weeks. And yet, "it's worth it." Sap that I am, I would have moved that exchange to just before the Omega-4 relay.

It has come to my attention that DarthRic plans to troll here. Apologies from the Ash thread. We have no control over him.

Yea i agree jtav, that was one of the better conversations in the game, and in the romance. A bit odd, that it didnt come before they made the jump into the omega 4 relay, it would have been more poignant

[jtav]

That's what I would have done. Have the conversation play out as normal, then Miranda breaks into a smile and kisses Shep. We then get a playful sex scene. I know some people prefer she use the teasing to mask her feelings, but I'd prefer it start serious and then get lighter.

LIES! I have no wish to troll here

Thanks for the warning, drunken pyromaniac! But I don't see what's so trollish about that pic, DarthRic.

Shepard has clearly been getting busy with Miranda way too hard and she has fainted from pleasure and exhaustion - she did not anticipate his cybernetic implants would inrease his performance level so much.

They broke the console in engineering with their "activities" and Miranda accidentally floated through an open airlock Jack "forgot" to close. Shepard suited up and went after her.

I love you, Nightwriter. The pic works for me in a tragic romance way. And bad Nightwriter, getting me to think about Shep and Miranda's sex life and what she likes. I actually have opinions on the matter. And, no, I'm not sharing them.

[Spectre4hire]

Yes i agree with you, it makes more sense, since Miranda has never felt this way before, she would mask her confusion behind her usual serious demeanor.

Not even if we beg really, really hard? And post adorably imploring puppy pictures?

[jtav]

Seriously? I'm afraid I'll get in trouble, even with the lousy modding. I've already been warned once.

Cute puppy. I'm a sucker for dogs.

Seriously? You were warned? Come on, I've seen threads here get so bad it's ridiculous, what could they possibly warn you for that doesn't already happen in dozens of other threads?

not sure if this interview's been posted here, but...

[jtav]

I'm not sure. I was speculating out loud on how homosexuality might be perceived in the ME universe and made sure to use the proper terms. I'm kind of scared to talk about sex on this forum, even if I call things by their proper names.

And I've seen how bad it can get. I almosed chimed in on one of the more recent ones.

That seems like a common enough discussion. We talk about homosexuality's place in the ME universe constantly.

Weird.

[Collider]

We have no indication of lingering homophobia in the ME universe. Bioware would be taking a dangerous route if they decided that homosexuality is still viewed with prejudice. They didn't even do it in Dragon Age. I think it's reasonable to think that there probably isn't anything negative to how homosexuality is perceived in ME. Though I am wondering how this has any relevance to this topic.

[jtav]

Like I said, not exactly sure what happened. And I'm rebelling by writing a fic.

Answered your question via PM btw

I would've put a pre-sex lead up conversation into the romance scene, definitely. For me it just enhances the whole experience and gives the player a sense of interaction and involvement, selecting dialogue options.

I amuse myself thinking of what the conversation would be like - I would definitely make it a bit serious at some point, as well.

I think the scene would start with Shepard walking up and asking, "So why the engine room, Miss Lawson?"

And you've given me a very good answer.

[Nightwriter]

I suppose I have, haven't I?



However, the real question is, would Miranda give Shepard the same answer I just gave you?



I'm thinking not. It would be interesting to see what line or reasoning Miranda would invent to distract Shepard from the truth.

Eh, I generally approve of things that make Miranda less like Sarah, not more.

Bah! Heresy. You can't improve on perfection.

Seriously, though: I strongly disapprove of being different merely for the sake of being different. Miranda works very well as she is. The fact that "as she is" could be translated with at least a modicum of accuracy as "Sarah Walker in space" has no real bearing on that fact. If we didn't all love Miranda just the way she is, we probably wouldn't be here (i.e. page 1475 of  the second iteration of the Miranda Support Thread) right now.

To put it another way, I don't love Miranda because she's like Sarah. I love Miranda for all the same reasons I love Sarah. Taking any of those reasons away would only detract from the character, as I see it.

Am I clear? Or is this one of those things that makes sense only to me? Seriously, help me out - I've been known to miss these things.

[Nightwriter]

I don't think Miranda is Sarah Walker in space at all.

Sure, they have similar kickass commando skills, but I think Miranda is generally a colder, more hardened character, more businesslike and with a sharper, rougher past. It's harder to get through to her and get close to her.

Now to think of a new one. Hm...
