It's no secret that Miranda Lawson is a fan favorite when it comes to crew members in Mass Effect 2. Now that Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is available, players are experiencing interactions with the character all over again. Romancing Miranda is one of the most popular options in the game for those choosing to play as the male version of Commander Shepard.

Miranda Lawson is a no-nonsense kind of person first introduced at the start of Mass Effect 2. She plays a major role in the story as a Cerberus officer who specializes in biotics. Her extended role in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is dependant on a few choices that the player makes in Mass Effect 2, including parts of her romance.

Miranda is one of the first two members of Shepard's team alongside Jacob after the opening. To increase her loyalty rank, make sure to talk to her after every major mission is complete. Shepard has a handful of dialogue options with Miranda, but make sure to exhaust all of the "Let's chat" options before moving on.

After completing the mission on Horizon, Miranda will give Shepard a call and ask them to come talk. Go directly there and agree to help her twin sister, Oriana. This will trigger the mission Miranda: The Prodigal which the player should do as soon as they can. There are no crucial choices to make during the mission, so just complete it and Miranda will pledge her loyalty. Talk to her in her office following the mission and continue going to see her and be nice to her after each mission ends.

Jack is one of the other romanceable options aboard the Normandy in Mass Effect 2. She and Miranda eventually get into a heated argument following the completion of both of their loyalty missions that Shepard gets involved in. Keeping both of their loyalties requires high paragon or renegade levels, so if the player doesn't have a high enough level, they may temporarily lose a character's loyalty. To continue romancing Miranda, it's important to either side with her in the fight or to use the player's paragon or renegade status to calm things down.

After the fight, continue seeing Miranda frequently after each mission. Before the start of the final mission of the game, Miranda and Shepard will share an intimate moment in the engine room. If she survives the final suicide mission, she's also available to be romanced in Mass Effect 3, however, her role in the story is greatly reduced as she doesn't join Shepard on the Normandy.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
