User blog comment:AdmMiller/What's so great about Tali? And why do most dislike Miranda?/@comment-1691295-20100713150845

Yeah I know. I did expect her to die if I did make that choice, but I still made it. From a role-playing perspective it was because Shepard wasn't operating on a game mechanics basis, but also from a player's perspective since I was pretty sure everyone else would make it out alive I thought it would be a nice bit of extra drama in my playthrough and not have everything go perfectly, and also because I'm not really a fan of the character myself so it wasn't a huge loss.
