@DarthReavus:
May I inform you of the fact that the first link to the Miranda support group in the OP has syntax errors and leads nowhere. The lower link (below the Manifest) is OK.

I'd also like to request that you restore the original bold font-style for the titles in the Manifest.

(nitpicker mode off)


Done, though it cost a poor underling his life.  I tend to be a bit a cranky after a nap :devil:

I can tolerate Meer's voice coming out of the default Shep, but I like it most on my own custom Shepard.

I love canon Shep, personally. I usually spend more time customizing characters than actually playing the game, but not so with ME. Shepard's hot. And his voice would sound really weird coming from anyone else, for me. I also can't picture Miranda being with a Shepard who looks any different.

Obviously, that's just my opinion.


I agree completely. I always use default male Shep hehe. I can't picture Mass Effect with anyone else. I don't know, he just...feels right. He fits, and him and Miri look very natural together.

I've got to agree with both of you and Mavi.  I just can't play Mass Effect as a custom Shepard, the face and voice just go together in my mind and to me it wouldn't sound right if I changed the face.

One thing I find weird is seeing Miranda, or any of the LIs for that mattr, with some old, crusty Shepard.

I actually can't play as a custom Shepard. Meer's voice just seems to fit with default Shep.

Too bad he has a really bad case of "Uncanny Valley" going on during some of his dialog. I like the "Who said anything about love" line but the animators really need to be strung up by their thumbs because Shep makes the most disturbing face possible while delivering it.

Maybe it's because I have a tendancy to avoid all Mass Effect related media, so I never really linked Meer's voice with VanderShep, but as far as I'm concerned...the one true Shepard is the one I made back in the original ME.

I find this scene freaking hilarious. I'm glad I don't really choose this line anyways.

As much as I like Miranda, I'm not going to sacrifice roleplaying. Sometimes I almost forget there's more to this trilogy than Miranda.


Heretic, you must be rewritten. Have to see if Legion kept a copy of the virus. :P

I can understand your point of view, from a RP perspective. Though like Ieldra, I think someone in the situation you describe would in the end still go to Miranda when she asks, since hell, it might be the last chance.

As for Miranda constantly saying no, I didn't have a problem with Shepard's persistence since she clearly demonstrated her interest, as evidenced by her flirting and body language. Her reason for saying no was the mission, so in essence it wasn't a true "No.", and considering the possible future, better take the chance.

If her no had been about having no interest, my Shepard would've definitely backed down.



@Ieldra: always good to have the crafter of the MiriManif share my opinion. Yeah, I think that the love scene is the point where it becomes a real relationship, because I see it as the fullest demonstration of them giving themselves to each other, mind and body.

As the drell would say, only in that moment did the Whole Shepard and the Whole Miranda commit fully to each other and Connected, creating another Whole together as one.

And while I love the cuddling scenes, I wish we could have additional dialogue after the end game. I just hope Bioware expands on the existing relationship in ME3.

VanderShep is the male equivalent of Miranda! Definitely nothing old or crusty about him.

I'm thinking that was more or less towards fugly MaleSheps, could be wrong though.

Yes. That's what I think, too. He doesn't look altogether bad. It's just not a face for a character I'd like to play. I think one reason many people play with him is that good maleSheps are really hard to make. They get too young, too old, too nice-looking, or just wrongly proportioned in the "uncanny valley" direction. Getting a good maleShep in ME1 used to take me several tries at 20 minutes each. In ME2, it's better because the lighting on the preview image is better. Still, it's work, and of course I want a maleShep who looks good with Miranda. After all, she settles for nothing but the best - and that includes at least a decent appearance.

I think it was aimed at GrandpaSheps rather than VaderShep.

Yeah, I don't think Toshi meant default Shep was old, just that some old Shep's look really weird bangin' some of the fine ladies on the Normandy, lol.

Especially when Shepard's only supposed to be 31 years old.  Not 81 years old...

What about a Fugly GrandpaShep? One of my friends did that and the love scene with Miranda was hard to watch. Luckily for the main sections of the game he ran around with his helmet on...
