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.


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.

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.


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.

You interpret that situation very different than I do: The decision to kill Niket was not made in anger, but dictated by the logic to cut all loose ends which might lead her father to Oriana. She even says so. Shepard, using the Paragon interrupt, gave her the chance to listen to what she still felt for Niket, and spare him.

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.

Freaking Tali which they always cater to them fanboys and girls all over the others first and then generic Shepard along with Samara which I can dig her being there along with Thane and one or two other people but no Miranda!!!
I've waited I don't know how long for a picture pack but I wanted Miranda in it!

I've tried using photos you guys have posted time and time again to use my live web cam on my xbox to make it my picture on xbox live and it never comes out looking good.
I'm sick of all this fanboy\\girl catering they do.
I'm starting to worry about ME3 now.....

Good points. I think her guilt if she does shoot him implies that she doesn't really want to do it, and the fact that she spares him if we talk him into letting Oriana go also implies to me that she overreacted.

Woo for actually substative Miri discussion!

I am calm when did I become un calm?
It be nice if they would state they are coming out with another picture pack instead of not saying anything at all.
And I find it hard to believe they are when I don't see no proof and seeing how they only released that crappy picture pack for ME1 makes it kind of unbelievable they will.

Then again I have been wrong before and hopefully I am wrong and they will making another picture pack.

It's false advertising when you state crew picture pack when it doesn't include all the crew.
Miranda is a major character and is a complete insult not to be included.

Speaking of Miranda's lousy childhood, I would love to see something (fic, DLC) where Miranda and Jack have to make common cause, discover how much they have in common, and develop a grudging mutual respect.

Miri: We have alot in common Jack.

Jack: Realy? So the Cerberus chearleader **** was abused, tortured, drugged, experimented on, betrayed, raped and is not right in the head?

Miri: ......

Funny you bring that up, thats actually one of the plot points of what I'm working on right now. I need to run the general idea by someone to see if it makes sense. Any takers?

When they release these, they're only going to have one human in the first wave. And that human will pretty always be VanderShep.
