Why not Emily Wong or Khalisah Al-Jiani? Getting on Khalisah's good side or butting heads with her on the Normandy could have been sweet. Emily Wong would have been awesome too, since we actually know her.

Instead we get an sub-average looking newcomer with a fairly dry personality. I mean, I didn't hate her or think she detracted from the game. I appreciated any time I talked to her actually since it felt like a legitimate link to everyone looking up to Shepard.

As a person, though, I didn't connect with her nearly as much as the other two reporters.


I have wondered why we didn't get Emily Wong, and why we don't hear/see her on the Citadel. Good Catch.

Well she's really really out of place and seemed forced! I can't find references about her with regard to the other Normandy crew except for that interview with a soldier in Zaeed's quarters but aside from that I can't recall Traynor or EDI talking about her.


Traynor talks to her if nothing else. She was chatting up Allers twice when I visited. Not in person but over intercom.


That's odd. Man I must be doing something else. :D

My theories are all sinister, and knowing IGN for the sensationalist **** media outlet it is, probably right. In case you don't know, Diana Allers is based on and voiced by one Jessica Chobot, a "correspondent" for IGN.com. I saw her enough on my Xbox Dashboard involuntarily to know who she is. Her claim to fame involves licking a PSP suggestively.

I wanted Emily. If Jessica Chobot is the reason that Emily is not in there then I hate Jessica Chobot from NOW ON!

The answer is simple. To bribe IGN for a good review.


DING! DING! We have a winner. You can also see how IGN acts about the ending controversy, basically calling people whiny entitled kids and defending Bioware as if it was their employer.

So there goes their journalist integrity out of the window, if there was any to begin with.

This is of course a conspiracy theory, but one I find very plausible.


I watch G4TV X-Play and Adam Sessler's wit and take on games. BUT...His Soapbox about the Ending seemed less than valid. I want to believe the best in people but both IGN and Sessler's soap box pointed out we should accept the ending. I hope they weren't  'Forced' to praise the ending.

Same here. I like Sessler but I so disagree with what he said and no I don't watch G4 (Techtv we miss you) or care for IGN.

And guys it's not nice to make fun of special people.

Just because she's kind of popular and I guess people think she's hot. Most major characters in Mass Effect are based on actual people, I'm surprised the tinfoil hats go on for something like this.

Although, I will acknowledge the huge conflict of interest when IGN let Chobot preview Mass Effect 3, knowing full well she was in the game. But to cite IGN for lacking Journalistic Integrity would be a never ending tail.

I read this article.  What was funny was that Sessler and this other guy chose the "wrong" endings.  the blue and the green.  they just got trolled by bioware

I thought we got her to just ignore her...I know I did, well as much as I could, thought I vented her into space.

i think she might be a reaper in disguise, to make sure Sheppard's indoctrination goes to plan. thats why she killed Emily and took her place.

As cheap as it is, I wouldn't have minded so much if she could actually deliver lines. But she was terrible. No emotion, spoke the lines like she was reading from a press release script.

She certainly is robotic enough to be a Cylon. What with her rubber skin an' all.

the whole reputation and credibility of Bioware is way too low atm, to ever recover from this.

She's there because someone felt that the game needed some piece of eyecandy, like Megan Fox or that chick who replaced Megan Fox.

Funny thing that.

She isn't terribly too good looking in real life, but her in-game model is just a soulless montrosity of creepiness.

Sounds like a jealousy thread. "Oh why did some chick from IGN get into the game? Why she's so special?" Dude, Allers has a banging body and beautiful butt. Just enjoy it.

I would not mind her if she could act but instead it sounds like she is just reading off a script with no passion at all
