MEL ME3 Miranda dies Bug
Basically this. Miranda Lawson dies in Mass Effect 3 even though she shouldnt. She was loyal in ME2, I didnt had a relationship with her and therefore did not break up with her but when I came to the...
There are only 3 reports about this issue and the game is out for over 6 weeks.
So while it is possible that there is a glitch in your game, there is almost certainly no bug.
Here are the things you must do or avoid to do if you want her to survive.
In addition, you must also meet her all three times it is possible on the Citable.
@Fred_vdp I've met Miranda in the apartment and we had conversation about the chip. I just checked in-game - I also did not receive email from here to meet there, I just noticed her on map as you did and went there.
@holger1405 I did everything due to these statements, except that I missed her first meeting on the Citadel.
But I did just the same steps during my both playthroughs of original ME3 several years ago, and she survived.
I googled some old themes from original ME3, and several guys also had this issue. Some of them stated that certain "checks" in their save files were incorrect, and they managed to fix this by changing some debug lines in save editor.
Afaik the first meeting is a must have event.
If you missed it you will not be able to save her.
I don’t know if the MELE save editor has the necessary flags to change to make it work and I am mobile itm so I can’t check. But you could of course try.
Then how come @Lasadon and @DanieruSempai say that they've met Miranda all 3 times and also have her dying?
It could be that they missed other events or that the necessary flags were not set for some unknown reason.
It really doesn't matter for your problem though.
If you missed the first meeting on the Citadel you missed a critical event in the chain and that is the reason she did not survive in your playthrough.
@holger1405 you were right - I downloaded save editor - and made a change as if I met Miranda the first time on Citadel, loaded back into the mission and she was alive in the end.
For anyone who wants to change it as well, here is the link.
If you had the same case as I did - didn't meet Miranda the first time in Docking Bay:
-Open desired save in save editor
-Go to Plot --> Missions --> Priority: Citadel 1
-Tick the box [Miranda] met her at Docking Bay D24
-Save the file
-Launch the game and load this save and Miranda will stay alive in the end of Horizon mission
