Definitive Ranking of the Mass Effect Squad Members

Miranda Lawson

15. Miranda Lawson

All right folks, in before “but dat ass!!!!” Miranda, and her voice and model actress Yvonne Strahovski are gorgeous, genuinely beautiful women. My problem with Miranda is it took me a long time to warm up to her. It took me about four playthroughs of Mass Effect 2 to say, “okay, I think I like this woman.”

It isn’t until Mass Effect 3 where I liked her the first time through. She left Cerberus and began to fight for what she truly believed in: her sister, and the truth Shepard unveiled. In her first appearance in the trilogy, she’s very distrusting of Shepard, and almost feels entitled to every operation due to bringing Shepard back to life in the first place. I wasn’t sure if I was really going to like her, but she definitely changed for the better in 3. 

As a squad member: I didn’t use her much. I liked her loyalty mission, but to me she’s just a stronger Jacob.
