Kasumi's old room would be my guess. Most of the squad mates don't really need the cushy comfort of the lounge, but you want to treat the reporter like a guest.

Well from what I'm hearing the layout has remained the same but the rooms may have been re purposed. So the observation decks could've been converted into offices.

If the Alliance took away my minibar I'm going to let the Reapers win. What's the point of living without my minibar?

While it is true that Shepard would have documentation for each and every thing that he does so that the Council can finally believe him, who's to say that the Council won't dismiss her reports as being nothing more than propaganda, spin, trick photography, and clever camera angles?

Frankly, I think that the term "doubting Thomas" should be revised to "doubting Councilor." It conveys a far more vehement approach to doubt than Thomas ever did as well as a steadfast blindness to the truth. In fact, based on past actions it is likely that the Council will require proof that the Reaper invasion is actually real and not some staged event to lure them into action thereby creating a war with the Terminus systems.

If the situation wasn't so grim and trillions of lives weren't on the line, the Citadel Council would be a laughing stock. I don't see how Allers is going to change that. Nice eye candy though.

I don't think Allers is there for the Council, or indeed for any government or military unit. As you say anything she presents could very well be lies and propaganda either for Shepard or some other bias. Besides the fact that Shepard is aware of it could skew the coverage, not show exactly what he's doing when it matters most. If anything, such agencies would have informers or outright spies stationed onboard able to provide accurate info undetected.

Allers on the other hand is there I think for the people, the common joes in colonies and on the Citadel. Her job is propaganda, showing civilians their hero in action, the symbol of their fight against the Reapers.

And of course all that aside, the turian councilor can airquote anything out of existance. No reporter tricks are gonna bring him around.

Anyone who claims that Allers/Chobot is in the game solely as "nerd-bait" is a hypocrite. All of the LIs/Romances in general are "nerd-bait".

Is her romance a full one? Or just like Kelly was in ME2.

I'm quite impressed by what I've read so far of Diana, she looks like a great new member of the Normandy! Obviously she's extremely attractive, but of course it ultimately comes down to personality, and I can't wait to learn more about her. Just a few more days and we'll all find out if she's as awesome as she clearly has the potential to be!

Does sleeping with Allers count against your LI like Liara or Ashley? Or is she Kelly Part II?

She is a "full romance" in the sense that if you were in a previous relationship your LI will call you on it if romance her. Also romancing her is not an option if you're locked in with someone else in ME3.

Otherwise OP has been updated with what I know from my playthrough and what info I found in 5 min of googling. I didn't get much of a chance to check her out during my playthrough and since getting RGB'd I don't feel like going back. If anyone wants any new info or pics added to OP just say so.

I would've liked her to play a bigger role in the game and been a more serious LI. Her role was disappointing. I expected more. Still enjoyed though.

I enjoyed what the role of a reporter brought to additional content. I kinda wished there were more interviews though. Thought they might add more transparency to the whole galactic war story and all.

I read about Allers in the november script leaks and liked what I found, but Chobot managed to completely butcher her character with some of the most wooden and emotionless acting I have ever heard.

Such a waste, all to get IGN on their side.

What did you like? Acting aside, I feel they didn't characterize Allers at all. She's got a bit about Bekenstein but otherwise she doesn't seem to say anything that's not a news report or an interview question.

If you romance Diana, will you see her come out of the Normandy at the end of the game?

Don't think so. I think it's only ME3 squadmate LIs. Everyone else gets the romance shaft. You know as their getting the ending shaft. Shaft within the shaft.

SHAFTCEPTION!

Not really sure about Diana, If you didn't Romance anyone else. It's possible you will see Diana come out at the End. I don't know anyone who only Romanced Diana to ask if this is true or not.

As for Only Squadmates, that is not true. Samantha & Steve if Romanced will come out at the end.

If we can keep it going, I will be here.

A few things to discuss:

1. Maybe finding out from Bioware what the thought process was for her initial creation vs her implementation. What were they thinking of doing with her, why didn't it all happen. And no need for "it was just IGN advertising LOL" we're aware, thanks.
2. Did Jessica Chobot make any comments about how it turned out?
3. As it stands Diana's a pretty blank slate. We could talk about filling in stuff for her on our own. More background, character traits etc. What does she make of all this?
4. With enough support, perhaps we can query Bioware for the inclusion of more content for her in future DLC. It's a long shot given the number of indifferent and hater groups but it's worth considering.

 Hey all, just thought i'd throw in my support.  I LOVE Chobot and i think she should be offended by how Bioware used her character.  I can understand that not everyone is gonna look amazing when their face is scanned into the Unreal Engine but i think they could have tweaked her a bit to make her look more human.

Also, it would have been nice to get to know Diana Allers more as character throughout the game.  Some things that they could have done are:  More interviews after each Priority mission or perhaps a casual one-on-one chat that would lead into a serious romance.
