Are the rumors actually true about Miranda?
I preordered on steam and when i opened the forums up i see tons of threads saying they changed cut scenes of her azz so it doesn't show it? IS this true? That would be a shame because i really don...

This isn't about them editing Miranda's character model. It's about them possibly choosing different frames instead of the base and excessive shots of Miranda's butt designed to sell the game. There's a difference between what Mass Effect Andromeda did with their eldritch character creator and excessively sexualizing a character.
By the way, if we were talking original ME designs, we'd also be talking about de-glaming Ashley Williams and shrinking FemShep's ever growing bust between the games. Or that leather hooker's dress from Mass Effect 3. If the one thing they flagged in the series was the shots of Miranda's butt being excessive, it was probably something originally done not from design but marketing. Miranda Lawson is also based off Yvonne Strahovski so there's an actress they probably preferred the idea of the original emphasis on her performance instead of marketing- "can we have more shots of her butt".
There's also the infamous shape that made its way into the game when you scoped with a sniper rifle onto EDI with the wrong armor set on. It's not creativity these things make it into games, it's marketing and/or someone's fantasy trips.
@Allison_X5-734You act like Sexualization is wrong. Since I never hear any complaints about half naked guys.
Also Miranda was a great character herself. The * scenes were not there to sell the game. LMFAO.
And if it offends you... boo hoo?
No wonder america gets stuff like Abby or the girl from gears of War in our games.
Can we go back please.
Have to agree with you on this. Where was the sexualization outrage in the "naked swap scene" in Mass Effect Andromeda?? How about the shirtless Jacob or video of him doing situps(DLC shadowbroker)?? What about James Vega, jarhead extreme, but with muscles out to there, always flexing and showing off??
How about EVERY male hero having a 6pk abs, and WIDE shoulders, narrow waists, and tight butts that less than 5% of the men will ever have?? Yet, when we hear about over sexualization and objectification it is ALWAYS only about women, and how they look.
Hate to break it, but humans are a sexual species....it is biological to want to procreate and having issues with this is stupid, and most times caused either by jealousy, or feeling of inadequacy. I personally want the characters in my games(and movies) to be larger than life, more perfect than possible and more beautiful than 99% of the world....if I wanted mundane and ordinary, I will go talk to my neighbors or co-workers. I want the escape.

They use the excuse calling it a "power fantasy" from what I have read about this same topic talking about guys whatever the * that means.
I completely agree with both of you. Especially with what's been going on with not only games but movies as well. At some point this biased one sided censorship all has to stop I am sure I am not the only one absolutely fed up with our beloved franchises each and every one of them being absolutely trashed by all this, which the majority never asked for. On top of the points mcsupersport pointed out that sex appeal is a perfectly NORMAL thing. Going to escape for a bit to enjoy a good fantasy is perfectly fine, and that was ME's strong point covered from all angles (thinking of Jack). The original creators of ME intended on it being shot the way it was and thats the way that I wanted to experience it again without being bothered by all these weird nonsensical changes.
By the way despite all that sex appeal I was Liara all the way 😉. Hoping we get Liara back in the next ME haha.
