I imagine if Miranda survived and you destroyed the base, she will use her knowledge of Cerberus to help you defend yourself against TIM and possibly destroy/damage Cerberus.

My dream scenario is where Miranda takes over Cerberus and reshapes it into humanity's equivalent of the STG.

So, if we repeat it often enough, maybe someone at Bioware will notice this is a really good idea :whistle:

(It's getting late. I'm already down to 6 hours of sleep. So good night)

Another good reason to support Miranda as a squadmate in ME3 :

I really should be working instead of saying things likely to cause a riot.

Miranda/Thane, although Ieldra's "Miranda's father set her up for an attempted rape" scenario won't leave me alone, nor will an old Miranda/Shepard. Difficulty focusing. Beginning to wonder if I've lost the ability to write.

Maybe a replay will help get the creative juices flowing? I've got the crippling kind of writer's block where nothing looks good and I can't focus for more than five minutes. Feels like work. Help.

I beleive a replay would help, or how about you put your writing on hold then write after the Overload pack? That could get your mind working again. It is gonig to be a story driven adventure.

Stuck with the vanilla game. No DLC for me.

Yes, yes it does. I want Kasumi. Here's to a GOTY/Gold edition.

The Kasumi DLC got some really bad reviews out there but I'm not really sure why. She's a fairly interesting character with a cool backstory, she's surprisingly well-integrated with the rest of the game with her comments, and her loyalty mission is one of the best in the game IMO. All for $7 too.

Bad reviews? Really? I didn't expect that. I loved the mission.

Well, not really bad, but surprisingly mediocre. A lot of reviewers seemed to be expecting more and saw $7 for a single mission and a non-interactable character as bad value. I guess for a lot of people ME2 isn't a very replayable game so $7 for an experience you'll only go through once or twice doesn't sound like a great deal. DLC map packs for first person shooters like COD theoretically offer more value for more gamers because those types of games have online multiplayer.

Is it horrible that I really want to hear "be gentle with her" for myself? *sighs* I eat stuff like that up.

I do wish the game gave us more opportunities for a more overt romanticism in Miranda's romance. "So don't die" was great, but I wanted more. Or am I playing the wrong romance?

It's little things in the Kasumi DLC like this that show Bioware's attention to detail. I was really impressed to hear this.

Similar topic...

How long do you guys see any Miranda romance going? (I'm thinking primarily Miranda/Shepard but can be Miranda/random guy, Miranda/Jacob AU, Miranda/Thane, etc.)

I personally like really short but intense romances, preferably with a heartbreaking ending with the possibility of relapse in the future. With the Miranda/Shepard pairing, I say a few months max.

I did dislike certain lines in the romance that Shepard could choose that made the romance seem less romantic and more sexual - like the "I just want you in bed" stuff. The placement of those choices, if I'm correct, in the right top, is rather baffling, because that's supposed to be the paragon position.

I'd suggest that you consider romancing Jack, I heard her romance was pretty good - although I also suspect it would be pretty one sided. Which in a way is not very romantic now that I think of it...

I definitely agree with this. I don't like flings. Romances in fiction should mean something and contribute to character development. I wish ME2 had written a few more lines showing growing emotional connection in addition to those portraying the existing physical attraction.

Dragon Age did a pretty good job with the romances too. There were some problems but the romances were done well as far as I'm aware.

As far as I know the Kasumi DLC only got one review (I'm sure it got a few more, but I'm just unaware of them), from Kotaku. The author's main issue was that it was too short and didn't make much sense post-suicide mission.

What he was missing, of course, was that it wasn't intended as a story expansion. It was intended to be downloaded before the suicide mission.

I do really dislike when reviewers don't get their facts straight before they start running their mouths.
