Woah! Kasumi was in ME3? I completely missed her in my first playthrough. I figured she was cut from the game. I agree with you about how Shepard should have helped Miranda when it comes to the Alliance. I found it odd that Jacob was quickly re-enlisted and Miranda was shunned. I was hoping she'd join the crew at least unofficially. You have to talk to the Salarian spectre who is waiting just outside Bailey's door at the Citadel to get that mission going, he doesn't stand out, but you can converse with him - it's a relatively minor quest but you get to see/hear Kasumi again which means you also get to farewell her via the vidcomm toward the end. I am so used to do everything in a mass effect game (well mostly everything) due to how many times I played them that I forgot the things I missed when I played these games for the first time because of not knowing it can happen. The badge of the dead soldier that I am suppose to give back to his grieving father, the asari widow who recently lost her krogan husband and would want to hear his last poem, the old human women who lose her short term memory and continue to talk to an asari every day about her son she cannot contact due to the war going on, etc. Nowadays I could not think about avoiding those little details when I play the trilogy.

God I can't believe I read that much of the OP's post with the amount of tired I am. First we share a lot of views and I respect the time you took to write that essay. Secondly I have always been a narrative/immersive driven person and the butt shoot scenes always pulled me out of the moment. Like you are going "mhm this very important and I am getting info and backstory - why I am looking at your ass?" Aside Miranda has always come across as tsundre to me. She's very stand off until she gets stockholmed (I say a little jokingly) into liking shep. I won't shame butt lovers since it's fair game and not creepy like Bethany romancer requesters. Anyway thanks for putting up with my failed sleeping pill addled ramble... but I am glad that there's a mod for butt shots so people can have them back if they want while the rest of us, either indifferent or against, can live without them booty shots. I am sorry to have caused you trouble sleeping . I was determined to prove my point and wrote as long as it needed to be. I guess I should be surprised about the people asking for bethany shippers but I am not... Because I remember the people who continue to ship elizabeth and booker dewitt in Bioshock infinite even after learning their... relationship. Let's just say old BSN was a wild place and at times needed a tactical nuke. Regardless Miranada is a character I think got poorly used. In terms of strange sexualization. While sexualization isn't bad doing it to the point of breaking immersion or impracticality in an otherwise immersive game blows my mind. Like why does she have a camel toe? that is not comfortable... trust me us women try to avoid it at all costs. Yet when it comes to her character, and subsequently romance, in ME3 they dropped the ball. It really feels like she could have been part of the Normandy crew after sanctuary. She is one of the few ME2 companions that could have joined us due to the fact at that point the only threat/obstacle to her goals (oriana's safety) would be cerberus and the reapers. So the onus is really on BW for all this, really for EA on not giving them enough time. At least some mods are being shifted over to LE so hopefully we can have games that feel better towards peoples individual tastes (for real the anti camel toe mod is a god send).

I'm bumping it to 2/10 for not discussing about how Miranda would look in a black leather Mistress outfit... Giggity.😍😍😋😋😍😍 Doesn't she have a second outfits like this? A loyalty outfits that is pretty much all black? That's... Not the kind of outfit I'm talking about.

Let's just say old BSN was a wild place and at times needed a tactical nuke. Only the "Bioware Forums". The original BioWare discussion forum was perfectly moderated, in that the only people that really participated in the subs I was active in were focused like a laser and nobody was busy being pissy with each other - that stuff went to PM back then like it still should. The "BioWare Social Network" was mostly hands off, moderation wise, until BioWare started fucking up on the regular. Our fanbase is more educated than the average cohort (this is opinion, I am happy to argue it), so this didn't really go over well. Then yes, tactical nuke away, but by the time we started it was far too late.

I can only hope people look back at BSN with intense shame, grooming's fine and dandy if you're considered hot and popular, absolutely lawless. What does this mean? I am tempted to agree with you, but then I would be agreeing with something I only have a vague notion of. I look back on almost everything in my life with intense shame. Never stare into the abyss too long. But, we're taking about vague things, not me, so... Issue #1 - Grooming, without clear context, is a sketchy fucking word. Issue #2 - What's wrong with being a sexy bish? Sometimes I'm hot and dandy, popular and lawless. Today, I am dirty, mean, mighty unclean - I'm a wanted man! Public enemy number one, understand? ... Can you speak more clearly your issue with old BSN prime? Otherwise I guess you could be one of those clever bots

New BSN is no different from the old BSN in terms of weirdness and besides I'd say bring on the sexulazation! GIVE US MORE! For both sexes of course.

Yeah agreed, I don't really mind exageration in character design or sex appeal when the tone is silly and not meant to be taken seriously. Dead or Alive for exemple has plenty of female characters with gigantic breast and tons of costume that would be totally impractical for combat, but I don't have problem with it as this franchise is practically based around the fanservice. Mass effect on the other hand wants to be taken seriously, the standards are different because of the tone of the narratives. The more serious the story wants it to be in the eyes of the audience the more likely it is normal to wonder if a character design make sense. I don't mind seeing a ridicilous butt shots in a movie like American pie or Euro trip, as these are meant to be sex teenage comedy and therefore not something to take seriously, it's not mean to make you cry or be thrilled or take you on an epic adventure. Just to laugh at the situation and the story because of how dumb and ridiculous it is. And I fully trust you when you tell me that a camel toe is uncomfrotable , I will never know what it is just like I will never fully understand the pain of giving birth. But yeah, if I had to guess I would not think it would be any comfort for the girl who has her clothes this tight in that area.

I mean I personally know of a case of a 20 year old seeing a 15 year old, and when that younger person had a breakdown, people blamed them for acting out of turn- after essentially being groomed.

That would not fly today hopefully. So that's what I mean about being shameful. I feel like I'm missing something. Where was there grooming on the old BSN site? I was only there briefly before it was shutdown but I never heard about anything like that. I sure don't see it here.

That this forum would support that sort of behavior, just doesn't really seem to match the type of gamers that have inhabited the forums. Individuals, sure. A group, or majority, with moderator support? I lean towards "oh, hell no" on this. So, I am not arguing, or debating your claim. Without more context, it is awfully hard to agree with your position. The numbered BioWare mods, they will forever live in infamy and shame. Yes you too, BioWareMod002. Anyways, this current population would not have had anything but concern for the abused, at least the vast majority of us. The situation sounds gross.

It is indeed gross.
I do not particularly want to drag their name through the muck for just drama's sake, but I know it happened because it happened to me, that person's not here anymore anyway.
But sometimes I still wake up in a feverish sweat nearly ten years on.
Point being awful cliques of people existed that excused nearly anything as I experienced first hand.
Far from perfectly behaved.

So, Miranda may not be a seductress, but she is sexy and that's ok. It's good, in fact!
The fanboyish drooling butt-shots reflect much more on the development team and Casey Hudson in particular, than it does about any of us.

But yeah, if I had to guess I would not think it would be any comfort for the girl who has her clothes this tight in that area. Just because Mass Effect has a different tone doesn't necessarily it can have fanservice-y stuff or sex appeal. Oh it totally can, I am not prude I mean I love catwoman... when she is done right, not like a certain 2004 movie... . As I said in my openning threads, fanservice is absolutely fine but there is always the question of how it's implemented, with which characters and the kind of context where it happens. I classify them in 3 categories 1) good fanservice 2) neutral but harmless fanservice 3) tone deaf poorly done fanservice. For exemple, Kelly chambers getting in a sexy dress at the end of mass effect 2 makes sense, she is dressing for a special occasion and she wants to get closer to the commander. So her dancing in a skimpy outfits for the situation (not a war zone but a private moment between 2 people) AND she is interested by the guy that she is dancing for. None of this is tone deaf and it makes completes sense. A few months before I played mortal kombat 11, and even if the new Sindel does have problem in terms of consistency. Let's say that a skimpy outfits totally suits her since half of her one liner before she fights an opponent is of sexual nature and the other half is how she wants people to kneel or be dominated by her. And considering her magic allows her to fly and her hair can be used like metal tentacle (dr octopus style) so her high heel would not be too much of a problem for her in combat, her fanservice dominatrix costume is perfect for an evil milf like Sindel. If we go back to Bioware's characters, Both Isabella and Morrigan make sense in terms of design. Isabella is known to have a very... how could I say? prolific sexual experience and Morrigan is very flirtatious in her discussion with the warden and she is fine using her apperance to get what she wants. I don't mind fanservice when it is fitting for the characters and the context of where it is happening. I simply explained why it never made sense for Miranda, but that does not mean there could not be a characters where it did make sense in the mass effect universe to be in a fanservice outfits. The writing just needs to make sense with the visual.

I decided to take this question litterally. he he he The adjective sexy means attractive or sexually appealing, when applied to a human that does not mean the sexy person herself wants to seduce the person she is interracting with. You can be attractive without any intention or action of seduction. Miranda Lawson has a gorgeous body and her face is based on the beautiful Yvonne strahovski so yes she is sexy. But her personality is not the one of a seductress and her suit did not make sense for her characters (personality and situation). If you wish to know why, my opening threads has plenty of details on that...

The numbered BioWare mods, they will forever live in infamy and shame. Yes you too, BioWareMod002. Anyways, this current population would not have had anything but concern for the abused, at least the vast majority of us. The situation sounds gross. I think you responded to the wrong post.

I feel like I'm missing something. Where was there grooming on the old BSN site? I was only there briefly before it was shutdown but I never heard about anything like that. I sure don't see it here. Uh.... ... ... How did this come up on the forum? Did these two people meet on the forum? Why and how was the forum involved? This rings no bells, but I didn't participate in every sub.

I have got to say, I also only have vague memories of the old forum, It's been 4 years since then, time goes quickly . Back at the time I was on multiple forums, BSN was just one of them. I don't remember the forum being good or badly moderated, but to be honest I was not talking about the hot subjects on old BSN because I did it on MANY others.

I have no specific memories of the incident mentioned, but if I had to hazard a guess on where it happened it would have been in the romance subforum. That particular subforum was shut down by BW because of it's toxicity.

There has NEVER been any toxicity in the history of humanity about romance and shipping in pop culture... And I am sure the creator of Avatar the last airbender could certainly confirm this... But to be serious, yeah romance can easily become ground for bad behavior when people ship one characters and they see competition for their shipping.

Personally, I always viewed Miranda's "bubbly" butt as a "meme" - criticism of overdone sex appeal in games. It's far from perfect... and even Shepard's is better.
