Miranda Lawson

The Lawson sisters are an underutilized duo in the trilogy. Who wants to see more of what Miranda and Oriana are up to post-ME3? Either in the next game, a comic, or a novel?

What if Miranda Lawson was one of ME3's supporting antagonists in the games instead of an off-the-Normandy companion? What do you think she might do as a villainess still in league with Cerberus?

My guess is two things. One, she'd plot a coup against the Illusive Man in order to take power as Cerberus's head. Two, she'd plot to kidnap her sister Oriana away from her family. By hiring Cerberus agents to kill the parents, snatch Oriana away from them, and having her surgically brainwashed by Cerberus doctors so she'd have no memory of her family and be given new memories of her big sister Miranda forged into her mind. So the two would work together and Oriana would serve as Miranda's right hand.

How would you feel if Bioware went in that direction for Miranda?

Appendixes

* Quote is a spoof of one from this spoof vid of Manslayer/mans1ay3r

* Least the Reaper/Collector (TOH) parallels never get old, lul, to compensate

* Previous ME/TOH parallels incl. the one above (adding on ones too minor: Balak/Boscha, EDI/Jack/Hunter, Warden Wrath/Kuril)

* Specifically Kai Leng/Kikimora (as many have pointed before, xd), that top agent is. And for the uninitiated, Blue Control to Red Destroy

* The Willow equivalent is Niket, Miranda: The Prodigal. Least the plant lady fared better, lol

In my first playthrough, the total squadmate body count was:

Ashley Williams (I chose Kaidan on Virmire)

Mordin Solus (Died curing the Genophage)

Thane Krios (Mortally wounded saving the Salarian Councilor)

Legion (Died uploading the Reaper Code to all Geth)

Zaeed Massani (Failed to gain his loyalty in ME2 and he died saving the Volus Ambassador.)

Miranda Lawson (sided with Jack during their confrontation ME2 and she died after biotic throwing her dad out the window.)

Why spare Nickett’s life? Other than being compulsively Paragon, obviously. But I’ve never felt it was right to let him go. He betrayed Miranda’s trust and went with something that others said about her instead of bringing his issues to her.

Considering the circumstances and what’s at stake here, he has to go.

Why not?

I figured out how to romance Liara and still save Miranda even though I romanced her in ME2. Basically when she first talks to you, instead of dumping her and losing her loyalty, I said I was still interested in her. Then thankfully, before you talk to her for a second time, you get your chance to lock in the relationship with Liara, so the game doesn't treat it like you dumped Miranda, but instead the relationship just got cut off. So in the end I still had Miranda's loyalty!
