Bioware did it before in DA2's DLC Mark of the Assassin. And if I had to choose which character I liked better, it's not the on in DA2. I'm glad I got MotA free from Reward points or I would have wanted to hurt somebody for putting out that crap.

I dont know who it is, but throughout Me3 I couldn't help but ask myself, what function does this character serve other than 10 points on the war effort? I got a really kind of braindead/dumb blonde vibe from her. I just didnt get it. One thing that crossed my mind was that she was merely an extra option for new players to 'romance', shes hot i'll give her that, but I didnt care for her.
I think she is well voiced though, its a believable character. In that shes a believable dull character.
Can I ask though... who is she, and why the hate?

Allers didn't bother me too much. She didn't really have a point, but what's the point of (talking to) the engineers, for example? She has more things to say than they did. It was sometimes funny. I liked that she was kind of a dick. She also apparently destroyed some of Zaeed's property, which is fine by me.

She got me like 20 or so war assets, so I have no problem with her.

I had to google Jessica Chobot, to find out you people mean Diana Allers.
I like her look better in ME3 than in real life.

No idea where the hate is coming from.
Whos Jessica Chobot? - no seriously, who is she?. Is she an American celebrity of sorts or something?.

I didn't even know who Jessica Chobot was before this game. That should tell you a lot.

She's a reporter for IGN.com.

I didn't even know she was a cameo, I thought she was just boring and a bad model.
But realising that it is a cameo, its just stupid. Yvonne seems to be the only person who has transitioned her body into bioware games (semi)successfully, others just flop on their faces and feel forced.

She only contributes 5 points to the war effort, and her voice acting is pretty goddamn bad. It's dull monotone the whole way through.
Also to OP- you're in the majority who likes the ending? Please, don't make me laugh myself to death at this obvious 'pull-lie-out-of-ass' move. You've probably not ventured past BSN and into tumblr, reddit and gaming forum sites. Nearly everyone on the interwebz is going to tar and feather Bioware for the sh*t they pulled with Mass Effect 3.
The only reason why IGN gave Mass Effect a 9.5 and a 'near-perfect' review is because Bioware had cut some under-table deal with them to get Chobot onto the voice cast. So Bioware offers IGN a role for their star reporter that will boost IGN hitnumbers, and IGN in turn gives ME3 a ridiculously glowing review.

Allers is...meh for me. I was hoping Emily Wong would be the reporter to help me out but I get someone I have no knowledge of out of the blue. I tried to talk to Allers like I would any crew member but never really considered her part of the crew.
There's also something about Chobot's acting that irked me a few times. It felt like there were inflections on parts of words where there shouldn't be. Of course I am in no way fit to VO but it just didn't feel convincing enough.

Actually you get more than 10 points from her doing interviews with you throughout the game. Other than that you're pretty spot-on. I'd have rather they used an established character for that role instead like someone who survived the SM (KELLY after the SM becomes a reporter could have worked out then EVERYONE would have gotten back their fish to boot)

Her interview points do not appear by her name but in updated things on other assets. So you didn't give her any interviews but let her ride on your ship. Your fault. Because one she actually asks for the one in the cabin.

I gave her all the interviews, and her accumulated points towards the war effort came up to...about 40. Excluding the 5 she brought with her name.
Eh, scanning planets does the job better.

Some two-bit "reporter" that no one cared about until she slept her way into the game.

I'm not disputing a "better job" but you did say she only gives 5 points originally.

I was thinking she was patterned after Snooki. Hell, I have never watched a single episode of Jersey Shore and thought that. I had to Google Jessica's name just to find out who she was.

You can talk to her and tell her to leave. But since the ending is the way it is, I thought it best to have her crash on Gilligan's Planet so she won't be seen again.

I have nothing against Jessica Chobot. She's pretty, and I'm sure she's good at her job.
Diana Allers, on the other hand, is Pure Fail™. First of all, WHO thought that wife-beater dress was sexy? It's AWFUL. I mean, from the waist up she looks like she's about to run laps, or she would if she were wearing a bra. And the skirt of that dress makes her behind look huge. And not in a good way. Her voice acting comes off as snarky, even when she's supposed to be in the moment, and that tone is just at odds with the entire rest of the game. I get that she's a reporter, but I still think the tone of the performance is just not working within the fabric of the story. And unfortunately, Jessica Chobot is an example of a "lost in translation" face model. The real J.Cho is a very pretty girl, but digital Chobot needed some tweaking. You could drive the Mako through the nasolabial folds, and the heavy under-eye mascara and eye liner gives her a sleepy, heavy-lidded look. This character needed more work, and the actress needed more direction in her voice performance. That's my take.
