as much as I have to agree that Miranda is an awesome and sophisticated character you have to admit that the whole 'romance part' is fairly short.. you earn her loyalty and then it's basically the two next meetings that reveal some emotion sharing and opening up but the next big thing is the grand finale while en route to the Omega 4 relay.. only thing you get in the mean time is the stuff that she remembers what happened and will hook up with you when there's an opportunity (ie Omega 4) I'm going through my 3-rd play-through now and still have something close to 1/3rd of the game ahead of me but my LI is already locked and there are no interesting exchanges between Shep and Miri..unfortunately.

It's the same with all romances, unfortunately. This is why there is a demand for romance DLCs. IMO the perfect topic for a DLC. Too bad it probably won't happen.
But the loyalty mission is really good, that's something at least, and it does establish a connection between Miranda and Shepard.

The camera angles...good God, the camera angles. I happen to think she's beautiful (her eyes, especially. It's very hard not to wax rhapsodic when describing those eyes), but it occasionally feels exploitative. I kind of wish we could have Shep say "Yes, you're hot. That's not why I like you. Do you know how many beautiful women have thrown themselves at me? And yet, I want you. Just you."



Only better written.

@jtav: I actaully liked they way you formulated it ;) I agree such line should have been there in the first place

@Ieldra2: I'm all for a romance DLC, however, I do realize that because they would need to get in touch with the VA cast (at least some of them) the chances of getting such a DLC are really really slim..the thought of having some exclusive Shep&Miri missions or new dialogs and interactions (I was thinking something akin to Sarah Walker and Chuck both on- and off-duty :) would be veeeery enticing..to say the least :)

Hmm. Must I now replay ME2 yet again with an eye for scenes with Miranda holding the Locust? I guess there have been worse reasons to replay a game, but the big question is: can I make another good-looking maleShep with ME1's character creator? For there will be no ME2 game without an ME1 game....

on a slightly different note..is there any kind of unique exchange when our Shep is locked in his Miri LI and then, say, accepts Tali's advances (she is kinda hitting on Shep after her loyalty mission, if my memory serves me right) ?????

I would appreciate a straightforward answer, don't feel like digging through the remaining 1494 pages of this thread just to figure that out ;) (Miranda fan or not I just ain't got the time to do that)

There's a line that captures the same spirit. Unfortunately, it's mutually exclusive with the kiss. Choices, choices...

I would like to give one, but I don't know. I never do that - if I'm with one LI, then I'm with that one. Mostly Miranda. Eh....exclusively Miranda in my maleShep games so far.

But perhaps gutty47 has something in his virtual dialogue tree. (....looks....) No. Nothing. Sorry. I also can't remember this being a topic anywhere in this thread, and I've been here since page 70 or so of the first thread (closed down at 316 pages).

Edit:
gutty47's virtual Miranda dialogue tree should be a known resource for all Miranda fans.

:) I sure understand the dillema :) in my current playthrough I'm aiming for a more Paragon Shep, but the kiss during the diaolg was totally worth the few renegade points :)

It was offline? I haven't accessed it for a few days, but  just now it works fine. (tries again) Comes up immediately.

thanks a lot...as far as I remeber there was sort of a confrontation in ME when you flirted with both Liara and Ash (in case of male Shep), it wasn't much but right now I'd be glad to get any kind of new, or previously unused dialog option :)

Well....a rarely used one is the one where you decide to postpone any romantic involvement until the mission is done. It's a nice one, but you won't get the love scene, then, and AFAIK nothing happens after the mission as well.

@all
...or does something happen?

As for romance conflicts: yes, ME1 had them, but I don't know if there are any in ME2.

I don't believe anything happens. More's the pity.

I wish romances were tied to an approval mechanic, like in DA. Miranda usually ends up telling me she'll be by when things are quiet for about half the game. Considering all the planet scanning I'm doing, you'd think that would qualify. I just don't like the whole "let's consummate the relationship right before we die" trope anyway.

She could have told Shepard that "if things are quiet" actually means "if the entire crew is abducted by aliens" beforehand tbh.



Question to the amerikaner in this thread. Wasn´t there a new episode of Chuck broadcasted yesterday?

Personally, I like to imagine they were at least sneaking quick kisses after mission briefings.

I'd like to imagine something more after missions....all the excitement has to go somewhere after all. :whistle: OK, it's an alternate universe, I know.

It's an interesting difference.  Liara and Ashely call you out on it together, but the other characters do it individually.  Tali says that she doesn't want to share you, and if you back off she says "keep it honest, it's a small ship."  Jack brings it up too, I don't remember how but you actually get a lot of different options for how to respond when she mentions it.  I can imagine Jack would be unhappy if you were also hitting on Miri.

Same here, Ieldra. I was just too polite to say so.

i finally got the CE for pc, so i will be playing it all again, shortly... :P and taking my own screenshots! at last!!:ph34r:

btw your own pics reminded me how much improved the shadows are in mass effect 2 - much better and the lighting is suitably much harsher.

Good! Perhaps we'll see some new ones then. The good ones from cutscenes and conversations may be pretty much covered, but there are few in-game scenes where I gave up because I couldn't position Miranda correctly. Ah...I recall the pose mods for Oblivion, they made for some truly impressive screenshots. Too bad we can't have that for ME2.

So, that was it for today. Good night, everyone.

....just noticed Miranda haters will probably have a field day in that %$§!-survivor game. Whoever invented that is a prime candidate for a Renegade interrupt. It's a loong way down.

I'm partial to a shot of Miranda looking down and smiling slightly.

There's also one from the engine room scene I like (yes, I like something about that scene) of Miranda sitting on the console while Shep kisses her. Actually, I'm beginning not to hate that scene in general.
