Mass effect "hot" chicks

[Sunrider]

Jack is more attractive and she's bald.

yeah, right. so miranda and jack both proposition you and you are going to choose the bald, tattooed, small breasted boy.

that is a poor choice.

Yes, because BIG BOOBS is the correct way to go every time.

How about no.

Maybe he's Australian haha.

I don't understand the joke. =(

At the beginning of the game when Miranda is introduced i see all the signs that they clearly want me to think she's some hot girl that i by all means would wan't to get into bed with. Problem is i think she is probably the most ugly thing in the game. I even felt pretty awkward when she was on about her looks being "superior" to others. Same goes with Ashley Grahams that you meet up with somewhere along the line. She just looks weird to me. I mean. I get that i am supposed to think these two are hot but i am finding it very hard to do so.

Ohmygodyesthankyou! She has the most awkward squashy face! I thought it was just me! She looks alright in the concept art, but somewhere along the line their faces just ended up warped.

Exactly. It's like she got like fifty too many Botox injections and her face is stuck in some perpetual...'thing'.

 

[CrazyHatMan]

I'd go for Miranda. I have yet to see whats off putting about her face. Besides, her actress is pretty hot.

A lot about this has come up. How does it matter if Mirandas voice actress is hot or not?
Your playing a game with a fictional character, not cruising around in a spaceship with the real living person.

Basically, those wacky Australians banned, among other things, depictions of small boobs. Full story here: http://boingboing.net/2010/01/28/australian-censor-bo.html

I never liked Miranda.
The shot of her standing with her arse cheek taking half of the screen wasn't appealing to me.

For me it was:
Liara
Kelly
Ash

I'd rather be with Dr Chakwas than Miranda. She likes playing doctor with the soldiers, great sense of humour and she can drink.

I never fancied Tali, she's got a cute character and all, but guys... 2 fingers and a thumb and her legs bend the wrong way.. too much for me.

Now here's a question - why don't people call out Bioware on their massive sexism more often? Because seriously wtf? [http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000968989/mirandathumb_answer_1_xlarge.png]

Probably because Bioware didn't invent the idea of putting physically attractive women into sexually provocative positions/camera angles/situations.

Ah, so you have to invent a form of sexism to be sexist. Got it. (It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people go to to make excuses for stuff like this [http://www.gameinformer.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Blogs-Components-WeblogFiles/00-00-00-18-04/1715.Hour-6.jpg].)

Agree with you on Miranda.

The weird thing is that Miranda is modeled after (and voiced by) Yvonne Strahovski, or as I like to call her, Yvonne Strahotski:

And yet they made her out to be this weird, big-headed Michael Jackson look-alike.

This. This! Yes, this! How did they manage to fuck her up in the game? IRL she's hot!

The earlier concept art that Bioware had of her was a lot better than what came out of it. Her hair was blonde, like irl, and she had more to her outfit than a skinsuit.

 

[KingofallCosmos]

They actually made it quite interesting. Miranda really has one big asset (Dat asset!) with the most hateful personality you can imagine.
BTW I only found Kelly kool. She dresses up 'n stuff. I thought Jack would be a nice psycho to go with my renegade Shepard, but if you go talk to her she gets al emo.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

It wouldn't be so bad if the game didn't try to force is down your throat.

"Here is an ass," says the game "you have probably noticed it already seeeing as it protrudes a good foot and a half, but in case you didn't we will position the camera so you can see nothing but the ass," Thanks game, but I'm really not interested.

Oh right, now I remember. Thanks! =)

 

[mark0217]

This thread is filled with crazy people. How is Yvonne Strahovski (and by proxy Miranda) not hot? How is a bald crazy lady hot? Really?
Thank whoever they didn't add a romance option with Legion or some people would be all over it! <<

 

[ABLb0y]

I hate Miranda so much. And yet she seems to be Bioware's darling. Listen, Bioware, if you really want to score points, get rid of this bint, and bring back Liara.

I did like Kasumi, though, but she was kind of ruined by that haiku she wrote about Jakob. You know the one.

Their race of slaves became sentient and so they didn't like that and tried to genocide them so the Geth, understandably, fought back and now they are vilified for trying to survive on the world they were created on. What utter bastards.

Also the Quarians can't possibly settle on another world 'becuase the current generation wouldn't be able to live outside our suits...'

right.

So you don't think that maybe some of you could make a sacrifice for your future generations? Or are you that selfish?

I think it's the perspective you look at it from. I am not going to give up my principles just because someone is cute, quiet and geeky...

Those "slaves" were robots. Those robot workers became sentient and then the Quarians realized that when robots consider their existence is the sole purpose to work, they would revolt and they thought the best idea was strike first at deactivating them, especially since true Artificial Intelligence is illegal. Unfortunately for them, those robots were smarter than they intended and fought back and continue to butcher any living creature, Quarian or not, for the last 300 years. Then after years aboard ships in a sterile environment there immune system is so weak that they would all die off it they were to take their suits off. The "sacrifice" would be mass suicide. Taking off their suits just to reproduce is risky, even when taking the precaution of using antibiotics and medicine to boost their immune system, even while in a mostly sterile environment.

To give more perspective from my point of view, I hate Tali.

Is it just me or can you actually see Miranda's cametoe in the opening of ME2 ... classy Illusive man, classy

 

[Beryl77]

The person she's modeled after is hot but Miranda isn't really hot. I always thought that she looks kind of weird, let alone that I can't stand her, personality wise. Ashley is a similar case. The way she behaved always annoyed me and I didn't think that she looks weird like Miranda does but I never thought that she's particularly good-looking.

Yeah, good thief clearly does not mean good poet. Plus, the whole quasi-racist LOL SHES JAPANESE ALL JAPANESE PEOPLE RITE HAIKUS RITE? angle was not doing them any favors either.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

 

[Togs]

Miranda has some real nice pixels, but then she is modeled after Yvonne Strahovski.
Dont get peoples dislike.

 

[UnknownGunslinger]

It's the Uncanny Valley effect, and I totally agree, it can get downright creepy. It helps if you don't look them in the face Their cold, artificial, blank face.
