The deaths in the suicide mission were unintentionally funny to me.


Only death I found hilarious was Jack getting lasered.

That and the rocket to the face with Tali is hilarious mostly because her helmet is totally unscathed.

I'm pretty sure I'll at least not be so angry once I can nip the JokerxEDI relationship in the bud (or ideally destroy the fembot body completely so EDI never gets in it).

Regardless she's tech right? 


Yeah, she's definitely tech, unless the developers decided on going in a completely alternate, rather nonsensical route post-beta. AVPen datamined enough Powers to find almost everything that seems to be attached to EDI. She's kind of like a pseudo-Sentinel. Sentinel-esque tech powers but with an Engineer's focus on tech. No biotics, thankfully.

Yes, EDI is definitely a Tech class - her power loadout is listed as consisting of:
- Overload
- Decoy
- Incinerate
- Defense Matrix

As it's name suggests, "Decoy" creates a decoy to draw enemies attention (it's sorta like a combat drone, but without any offensive capabilities until it's later evolution Ranks), while "Defense Matrix" is a new armor power that decreases damage and will boosts your shields when you detonate the power.

As for the design itself, does anyone else also preffer one of the unused-concept designs more to the final one? Especially the ones on the bottom. I still like the final design, but other ones convey the retro-fuuturistic Metropolis vibe they were going for better than the final one IMO


I didn't really think she'd needed a robat body until I found out that she was going to be a sqaudmate.  I would've preferred a Metropolis design. Bioware said that was what they were going for but it seems they wanted her to be more human. Then they said something about her being a infiltration unit. I'm so confused right now. :huh:


The original model used by Cerberus is an infiltration unit, with synthetic skin and all those bell and whistles.  As I doubt anyone on the Normandy has the knowledge, or resources, to replicate it, EDI's body is just the metallic chassis and internal structure of that unit.

Is that actually mentioned in the script?


Yup.

At one point, she's doing yoga to test out her motor functions.

Ha, I'm never able to kill off people in the Suicide Mission - I've considered doing it just to see the scenes, but it always felt too much like betrayal to me. Plus, I always get fooled for a second when they pull that fake-out with Garrus. Every time.


Yeah, that's how my girlfriend is. Every time she replays ME2, she intends to kill a few off (she sorta-kinda-but-not-entirely agrees with my viewpoint that it really helps with the dramatic storytelling thing) but she can't bring herself to do it.

I understand. It kind of is a betrayal, from a meta perspective. I like all the squadmates a fair bit. I hate having to orchestrate it, but I also hate the perfect ending. So it's a Catch-22.

Damn the Collectors.

To me, personally, killing off people in the SM doesn't feel all that emotional; the deaths don't really seem to mean much or have any real impact. That's why I keep everyone alive, besides the obvious "I want to do everything perfect".

In fact, I know somebody who killed off Jacob one time just because he thought it was funny.


I like the rapidity of the deaths. It's very... Joss Whedon, to put it in modern-day pop culture terms. The way he offed someone in Serenity is the reference I'm making. If you're unfamiliar, then I'll just say that he likes to mix the emotional deaths with some abrupt, more realistic ones.

I like the vents-related death especially. The way a bullet just... pop! And someone's gone. To me that's drama, but I know that I'm not in the majority on this one either. Just... very nail-bitingly realistic. One wrong step. It's all over.

I went ahead and added that to the OP, with proper credit. :)

So wait the infiltration unit prior to EDI uploading herself to it was orginally a Cerberus infiltration robot?:huh:


Yes, that's where you get it.

Ah yes, I do love those Joss Whedon deaths. It's nice how he's not afraid to kill his characters like many are. Although I have to say my favourite death was Fred's in Angel, and that one was much more drawn-out.

Best out-of-the-blue death?  Final episode of Sarah Connor Chronicles.  Probably the only time I uttered a surprised curse at my television.

I wonder though if any character can be killed in the final mission (there seems to be opportunity), and if so, how EDI would handle death.

I hope Shepard's attitude towards EDI (and AIs in general) during ME2 affects the dialogue/relationship in ME3. Getting the same BFF attitude from Liara and Tali with my brusque/professional Shepard felt really odd.

Your joking.


Nope.

-I swear, I didn't ask her to do it, Commander. She has a very reasonable, flexible explanation.

I am checking this body's motor responses. I found errors that could delay my reaction time by six one-hundredths of a second.

Nothing that demands your attention, Shepard.

-EDI, the bridge isn't a yoga studio. You're setting a bad example for the crew.

I did not think they would consider me subject to the same standards. I will stop.

-Every second counts. Or fraction, in this case.

Checks are complete.

We are clear.

For that category, I'd go with Weyoun from the series finale of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Just the way it's handled, not so much the fact that he died.

For best almost-death, I'd say Adama from the end of the first season of BSG.

But anyway, EDI. She's cool.

I'm on my way out though, folks. Got a lot of homework to do and these blankets won't clean themselves. And I need coffee. Badly.

Please remember to keep things civil so we don't get this thread shut down. :)

I liked how EDI looked tbh. I'm going to wait till the game comes out to decide if I like it or not. What I'm still trying to wrap my head around is Jeff has that brittle bone diease and he is going to be with an android??? Strange seeing how he can break a bone very easily. So that is a bit strange. I do remember seeing an interview with Seth Green saying how hot EDI VA is and how bummed he was because of course she is an AI. So Seth Green got what he wants which makes me :lol:

I just hope Bioware avails this opportunity to explore some metaphysical concepts and have some Blade Runner esque character moments. I imagined a sequence where Joker was going to take the Normandy on a suicide run to destroy a Reaper and EDI-Bot holds his hand or something

A romance with Joker is confirmed

Your Shepard's attitude was made by your choices in general. Yeah I cussed the AI out when I learned it was on the ship. It should've though in general have improved with Legion and EDI saving your butt so many times.


'Fraid that particular Shepard isn't that logical.  Legion was shipped off to Cerberus, and he's still trying to get EDI off the Normandy.  Poor EDI.
