So dryo, what are your thoughts on Miranda romance thus far?

I'm on her second convo I think. You know, the one where she touches Shepard's chest. So far, I'm less annoyed with her, though I'm more annoyed with Jacob. Perhaps I'm displacing on these characters or something. She seems less pushy this time. That was one of my chief annoyances. Give me time, i'm going to get to her third conversation tonight I think.

You should put the full details of what you think in the group, after you're done the romance or have done another conversation.

I'm about to do her Loyalty mission.
Last night all I got around to doing was a few N7 missions.

I am about5 to roll my oats with her

Sure, will do.  I don't think I have any new takes on her character or anything though. I'm just trying to figure out why you guys like her so much.

Here are a few points:
(1) I was drawn by her emotional detachment. I dislike how all too often being emotional is painted as some kind of virtue in a woman. Being the more careful type myself, I immediately connected with her.
(2) She's a woman with enough competence and confidence to stand up to you as Shepard. On the previous page, you said she insulted your pride. I feel the exact opposite: who wouldn't be flattered if a woman like Miranda showed interest? And as "Shepard the Hero" you should have enough confidence yourself to brush her more critical comments off with either a good counterargument (even if the game doesn't let you, do it in your mind), or an amused smile if appropriate.
(3) This confidence and competence also gives her an impressive presence. Forgive me for being poetic, but she'll never be only another's satellite, always a star in her own right.
(4) This makes me feel that she actually adds something to Shepard in the romance, that Miranda/Shepard as a whole is not only more than Shepard alone, but more than the sum of its parts. Is Tali/Shepard significantly more than Shepard alone? Is Jack/Shepard? I don't think so. 
(5) I appreciate her ruthlessness. A refreshing change from those fictional women who always push the hero to the less controversial, Paragon decisions.
(6) There's the physical, of course. She's beautiful.
(7) For the romance: she's human. It's a factor for me.

I think those are the pertinent points. The only aspect of her I don't like is her Cerberus apologetics - it's the one aspect of her life where would profit from more emotional distance. But she can learn. My Shepard can certainly learn a few things himself from her, for instance not to be such a bulldozer.

I don't know if any of these reasons appeal to you, but I think most of us here are drawn by some of them. For myself, I think I may be a special case because I can actually identify with her to some degree. That is why I would like a game where I can play as her. Having her as Shepard's romance feels strange at times...

This hasn't been posted in a while - another very good fanart by Strikor2115:







No one here, so I'll get back to my Insanity playthrough - Garrus' recruitment mission went surprisingly well, even the dreaded "close the bulkheads" part. No Miranda romance this time again, this is a replay of my main femShep.

Just popping in to say that Yvonne looked lovely at the Logies.

Very nice dress. Too bad the lines they gave her during her presentation award were so droll.

She's beautiful but I can't say I care much for the dress. The pattern is a litle weird and it makes her look like she's got no bust and no hips. I like it when women have a few curves. Physically, that's one of the reasons I like Miranda (and Yvonne) - she doesn't look like she weighs 96 pounds.

Because Yvonne is far more beautiful than her dress :

It's gotten really quiet in here, so I've just got a question...



Do you guys think Miranda has any bad habits? I think they would drive her absolutely insane, but she's still human so she's got to have a few right?

[jtav]

I think she talks during movies. Especially bad movies. One woman MST3K.

[fongiel24]

That's a good one. I wouldn't have thought of it but it sounds plausible.



Miranda seems like she could be a bit obsessive-compulsive so I think she chews on her pens (if pens exist in the 22nd century). From a storyline perspective, I think she snores a little bit but I have a feeling her genetic engineering would have probably ironed that out.

You know those little marks on her jaw and her adorable crooked front teeth are what do it for me.  The more flawless the woman the more adorable her flaws I guess.
