Hi everybody!!! What did i miss?

Not much. There's a debate going on about whether or not you would kill Miranda's father.

It seems the consensus is mostly, no, not without more information.


I would't, if it was not for him, I would not have Miri :wizard::wub: maybe just kick his ass or arest him but not kill him, unless he tried to kill Miri or Oriana.

I take it for granted that Miranda's summary of her childhood is accurate, but that's because I'm inclined to believe any allegations of abuse until I have evidence to the contrary. At least in fiction. Conservation of detail, etc.


Exactly jtav....if you do not take for granted as truth what she says, then you do not trust her....there is no middle ground on that subject, wy do people not understand that?

Because it's not true. Not unconditionally, as you claim. I would trust her not to lie, but that still leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Most situations aren't that clear-cut.

Here's an example: Miranda says what happened to Jack wasn't "really" Cerberus. Do you believe her? Well, I think she doesn't lie to me. But do you really believe TIM is trustworthy because Miranda says he is? Even if  you have a relationship?

This. I love the character TIM, but I would not trust him if you paid me too.

I could believe that she sincerely thought he was trustworthy, but I'd still think she was wrong.

Just a thought. sometimes doing what someone asks you to do for them because they feel it's best, may not turn out to be the best course of action for any of the parties involved.

Goes back to what I said about the situation being similar to the one with Niket, we didn't know the whole story we had just found out she had a sister in the first place. So just becasue we trust her doesn't mean we know every detail, we know she trusts Shepard but just because you trust someone won't mean you tell them your entire life story. Not saying Miranda is keeping secrets but some people let things out over time.

Edit @Meg - heh yeah, I wouldn't trust TIM as far as Shepard could throw him, and seeing as Shepard hasn't met him face to face he can't throw him at all.

Double edit: Goodness rushed typing means I can't spell Image IPB

This arguing about whether or not to kill Miranda's father is making my head hurt. The easy answer, for me, is this: I will wait for ME2 related DLC or ME3 for the confrontation with her father and analyze all points, then make a decision that is for the betterment of the many, which in this case so far may be siding with Miranda/Oriana. I have no clue what this future confrontation will be like though, so my speculation is as good as everyone else's and will therefore be rendered redundant.

For the heavy weapon, it looks pretty cool, and in one of the pictures looks like new armor too. I still won't be happy unless there is some story related or romance DLC announced or in the works.



So, how has everyone been today?

@flashy I agree with your viewpoint. It kinda calls to the fact that when you may fully trust someone, it doesn't mean that someone knows the entire truth to something. The perfect example like you said is Miranda not even knowing that Niket sided with her father on the matter of Oriana.

I've always said that Miranda will be keeping some secrets, not to say she doesn't trust Shepard but she isn't the sort of person to just throw all her secrets out there on the table.

It's going to take her time to open up too. She's never trusted anyone, and even though she trusts Shep now, it's going to be hard to talk about the things she's been burying for 20 years.

After discussing this with Darth, I agree that it's not about trust or faith at all, really. It's more about emotions vs. logic.



Those who are more logical thinkers will need as much information as possible on the situation before they act, while those who are more emotional will act based on what they feel, which can often lead to an unsatisfactory ending. I think we're all in agreement that Miranda acted emotionally when she wanted to kill Niket. If she had done so, she would feel horrible and have to carry that with her for the rest of her life. By stopping her and being logical about the situation, you saved her a lot of grief and guilt.



I'm not saying logic is always better than emotions, but I think when it comes to taking someone's life, at least a little logic doesn't hurt.

She does feel bad when she kills him, I wanted to see what would happen and I did not stop her. She felt bad. The thing is, I will only kill her father if he tries to kill Miri, Oriana or me.

Nice summary Meg. Miranda clearly lets emotion far outweigh logic when it comes to her sister, so I couldn't let her kill her father without serious justification.

As I said, if he tries to kill me, Miri, Oriana or kills Oriana or even Miri (:crying:) then her father will die.

Oh my Shep will only need a little bit of justification to plug him.

Really? I get the impression that her emotions and reason were in accord with regard to that. But again, it all comes down to the lack of information. In any real situation the first thing anyone would ask was: what *exactly* did Miranda's father do.

I have no idea, Sledge. I didn't even know that. That makes me sad to hear though. Maybe they'll be releasing a second pack soon? I can't imagine they would leave out any of the crew, especially those as pivotal as Miranda.

The fact that she was about to kill the only friend she'd had for 20 years made me question her emotional state. I agree on her father though. Maybe now that she trusts Shep he'll get the full story.

Depends Slege who is in the first pack? It might be like the action figure sets. Miri will be in the next set with Garrus, Legion, Mordin or I forget who else.
