Yeah. :/ Well, they were kept pretty well in character, so in that sense the fidelity was sort of there--but that's not hard when the interactions are so scant.Lotion Soronnar wrote...

I don't think anyone disputed that Bioware knows how to make their stories interesting or that they had their reasons. The problem is, this is plot-driven instead of being character-driven. Character fidelity has taken a backseat to making a point within the plot. The implications behind this are disturbing--I believe they are unintentional and light-hearted, but they are still disturbing and I cannot fathom why this was not seen by the developers. I have to think some of them did see, but were shouted down. Regardless, no amount of good writing can completely save plot choices like these and the inevitable BSG comparisons.
What I find ironic is that in ME2, they focused on companions so much they neglected the plot. Altough that didn't do much for character fidelity in the end....
This is my feeling too, but I'm afraid it's a lost cause. I fear the most we can hope for is that she's the DLC squadmate so we can avoid it, but I doubt it.Icinix wrote...
I stress again - please, please, please, please, please don't take the path most travelled BioWare.
Please
don't make EDI a bot, and if you absolutely must, make her a mono
gendered bot or a Geth platform OR SOMETHING! Just not a smexy
bot.
Well, that sounds a bit better. Not a lot, but a bit. It's just, the mobile platform... I'm afraid it's going to be pretty much a barbie doll.Luc0s wrote...
The way I understood it, she will in fact be like Legion.
EDI
will get a mobile platform, but at the same time she will stay in the
Normandy's system. I believe EDI said that her core and vital programs
still run through the Normandy, but that A PART of her also runs on the
mobile platform.
As an A.I. EDI is not restricted to just 1 body or 1
place. She can be at multiple places at the same time. She can be in
multiple bodies at the same time.
So even when EDI gets a body,
she will still be the same old EDI in the Normandy. She will just have
the body as something extra.
It's an unpleasant sort of continuum--the more like a tin can she looks, the greater the insult and potential bodily harm to Joker; the more like #6 she looks, the less I will be able to take her seriously and the more obnoxious/creepy the leering on deck is going to get. *sigh* I hope the artists worked a miracle, but I'm not holding my breath.

So, EDI is a weaker and nicer version of Harbinger...?
She is also kind of a Reaper now... Minus the vanguard of your destruction thing.. Reaper Tech + Ship (allbeit puny in comparison) + Avatar body inhabiting... Uh oh.

Edit: That might be a bit overly dramatic, but people around here do have the slightest tendency to overreact.

There are some details (two in particular) that I hope won't be visible in the game should what we're discussing come to pass. It doesn't look like they will be seen, but when some concept art hits the mainstream I imagine the riots here at the BSN will be terrible to behold.

By the way, is it just an assumption that Joker and EDI are going to have a romance? I mean when someone says they'll build up on the relationship between Joker and EDI, they could just mean their friendship relationship.
joker: you are so my mom
*EDI uses joker's mother appearance*
*joker sees EDI and craps his pants*
joker: what the ****?!
EDI: that was a joke.
