But it's still false. It was Liara who made them at least speak about Kahje and found the decrypion key there. Is this from a comic book? |

We were on topic until you got all butt-hurt about me saying this... You somehow came to the conclusion that this was an insult on your sex life. You sure as hell have thin skin if that's the case! The entire conversation was about Miranda until you flew off the rails... I was a little confused myself. It was entirely about Miranda, then went into something like "in my day" and somehow that got twisted into "why are you talking about my sex life". Anyway, Miranda is a hot, shapely woman who has a naughty side that's into public sex. She's also smart and competent but Shepard really only cares about the naughty side.
Now, I've never played this romance. Should be obvious. What I do know is that the Miranda in ME2 had changed in ME3. She seemed to be more "human", more well-rounded in her behavior toward others. I've seen videos of it, including when Shepard dumped her. There was that something in her voice that felt hurt by the rejection. Similarly, I've seen her die while romanced and, I don't know, I liked the Miranda we had in ME3 more than ME2.
ME2 Miranda - lol what is this End of ME2 Miranda - ok I see some things they're getting at but this is ridiculous lol ME3 Miranda - Ah, I kinda like this. Too bad she's so secondary now. Citadel Miranda - Wish I had this sort of writing and presentation (not necessarily the content, but the quality) from the start! I'll take a Miranda return in a ME5 just saying. I would not have been close to that position in 2010. |

So there's now a rumour being spread (by a guy with sources, take it how you will) that DA:4 is at least 3 years away. If this true, factoring this in, can I just say that I fully look forward to playing ME:5 ... on my quantum computer, in immersive virtual reality, sometime in the next century  , which should be right around when Elder Scrolls 6 is released. If BW is expanded enough, a ME doesn't need to be so much longer after DA4. If DA4 is 2020-2022, ME can be 2022-2024. Within 4-5 years is sad, but not terrible given the already assumptive 'this'll be in the next gen' after Montreal closure. 5-6 years since MEA sounds about right for a series 'on ice' that can still be 'defrosted'. |

I do think that Liara will make a good villain. Is this when we find out that every time she "embraced eternity" with Shepard she was also subtly trying to manipulate his/her mind so that she could be romanced? A high willpower Shepard resists while a weaker Shepard caves in. That's why a Shepard already on track for A/K would abandon them for her with little thought on the matter. A rejected Liara would grow disgruntled about how Shepard doesn't appreciate all she's done for him (never mind she'd be dead in the ruins of Therum had Shepard not come along) and have her bitterness turn her into an anti-human terrorist. I think this could work, especially after she uses her resources as the Shadow Broker to go after humans. Further, she can begin to systematically kill off anyone who knows she's the Shadow Broker. Y'all jest but I still fantasize about going to a MW where everyone is some evil/twisted/suffering version of the in-purgatory-but-we-help-out versions we see in the MET. Take all problematic elements of all the characters and reboot the characters with emphasis on these elements. Then compare how MET players and fresh players treat it. /SuperIndocTheory |

It is just a matter of time, yeah. |

I'm thinking more along the lines of if Anthem works out that DA4 and ME2 or ME4 (MW) will or I should say be able to be produced in a more timely fashion since (this is just me)they wouldn't have to include MP giving them more time to finish, since Anthem has the MP covered.

I don't see Miranda returning at all, lol. A game where it happens would have to cover the option where Brooks isn't killed but detained and interrogated and reveals that Miranda is guilty of allowing the Normandy steal to happen. My Shepard may be forgiving but she's not stupid to trust Lawson with anything after this.

OGryphon? Oh I see. I interpreted it as writers' failure to seque events / lore properly. ME3 was released in 2012, Citadel DLC in 2013, Foundation #13 (last issue) in 2014. But then they didn't have an arc planned, they were flying by the seat of their pants.  That's all I'm going to say of this. Oh yes, we did play some matches together.  |

Citadel Miranda - Wish I had this sort of writing and presentation (not necessarily the content, but the quality) from the start! I'll take a Miranda return in a ME5 just saying. I would not have been close to that position in 2010. Same. Didn't care for Miranda in most of ME2 but for two exceptions. One, in her LM, where we learn that she does have a barely beating heart in her chest after all. Two, IF you destroy the Collector Base and IF you have Miranda at the end - you get to see Miranda to tell TIM to go to hell and resign. Those are great things about Miranda. (Her thinking she ought to lead a squad full of people who hate and distrust her is baffling.) In ME3 things really ramped up for her and I wish she'd had more screen time. As you said, her writing in Citadel was spot on. We saw more depth to her there than in any other part of ME2/3. |

I think Miranda reflects one of the bigger flaws of ME2 - flash over substance, even as ME2 still has most substance than most video games at the time. Sometimes this was fine enough for a character, but sometimes this wasn't enough, and it wasn't enough for Miranda. For every butt shot or weak refrain of 'mah sistah', I saw a missed opportunity for something more compelling.

This character had the poorest writing possible since the very beginning, all for the purpose of flash. |

I have no complaints about my squad in me2 and 3, except for one. I always thought they should have changed their clothes from 2, especially for Miranda. The Cerberus logo is gone, but that's it.

, which should be right around when Elder Scrolls 6 is released.
That's all I'm going to say of this.
