Space Heroes and Super Spies: The Miranda Lawson Thread

I think what was being said is that BioWare would force her return, as they did in the entire MET.  She even had her voice heard in MEA.  On the other hand, she could have died on the beam run so maybe she's not such a shoo-in for future games.  We can only hope.

Pretty much this but the corruption runs much deeper than just voices in Andromeda. How many people will ever realize that Cora Harper is a distorted version of Gillian Grayson, intended to promote the asari at the cost of the quarians and the humans? Why forcefully stick Liara into stories totally not about her?

Yay for liking Lexi and Vederia! Hopefully both will be on our team next game.
Though with Keri, she never tries to make you cheat on your LI. You can, but she at most just says she is open to having a relationship if you want it. If you don’t flirt with her she never even brings it up.

themikefest hatred for Liara is one of the funniest things I ever saw.
There are always something about her he try to insert in any message.

I'm a huge fan of Liara, but hated what they did to her in ME2. From the gentle, sweet, nerdy soul to ruthless demon bitch.

Concerning Miranda, from my countless runs with Sheploo I dated her one single time and in another, to spice things up, dated first Ashley then Miranda.

Care to make another thread and elaborate case-by-case?

So, I am currently doing a trilogy run (on PC) for the first time since 2013, and I was wondering if the addition of the Citadel DLC, Miranda mod, other DLC/mods makes Miranda's romance one worth continuing. I am debating between Ashley and Miranda for ME3. I usually go with Ashley, since her content is more fleshed out in ME3. I remember there was some complaints about Miranda's arc in ME3, mainly that there was too little content.

But since this will be my first time playing Leviathan, Omega, Citadel, or big mods like EGM or project variety, I just wanted to get some thoughts on if Miranda's arc is satisfying with all that extra content (no spoilers ideally).

I'm a sucker for a tragic ending and I absolutely love the scene of Miranda confessing to Shep while she was dying and him doing the same to her. That farewell message when fighting on Earth was too underwhelming and just plain sucks.

So my favorite ending must be Miranda dying in Shep's arms, and him dying fighting the reapers. She asked him to finish what was happening, and so he did while thinking of her (hence the LI flashback) and choosing to destroy the reapers. Ignore the inhale scene at the end.

I really dislike how small the ME3 crew is and how the few ill reserved spots we got, were occupied by Vega and EDI, or the various side characters/crewmen like Copeland and *sigh* Allers. I mean, come on. And I really don't care if that was "the best bad decision at the time". Customers can only stand for so many "best" bad decisions, before the game falls apart.

It’s not just the technology that has aged in the original games though, as it’s hard to imagine the Asari, a species of all-female space Amazons, or EDI’s robot form being created in quite the same way for a new game today. They are popular characters though, despite accusations of them pandering to a male audience, so we were curious as to whether there was any thought to alter their portrayal in the remasters.

‘I do think a lot of things have evolved since [the original games] but I don’t know if I would say we were ultra-concerned about it or anything like that, but there were considerations’, admits Walters. ‘Kevin actually called out some camera cuts that were just… why was that focusing on Miranda’s butt? So in some cases we said, ‘Okay, we can make a change there’. But ultimately, to change an entire character model or something like that wasn’t really… it was a decision that was made as part of many creative decisions and just showing it at the best possible fidelity that we could going forward is really the choice for all of the art that we had.‘

I am sad to say that for about a 5 year period Miranda was my waifu.
