I liked EDI as a squadmate. Here's why:
- I started taking her on missions because EDI gives tactial advice all the time, so might as well bring her body
- I was using her to bring some extra Overload alongside Garrus, then found her more survivable, surprisingly
- I almost always buy the Spectre office's Paladin Pistol ASAP and EDI could make use of itMindoirsSoleSurvivor wrote...
EDI, as a squadmate gave me a more womanly and emotional side to synthetic schema, rather than Legion in ME2. Edi and the Geth are what made me stray away from the forced death of them in the destroy ending, and made me pick crappy ol' synthesis =/. If Shepard lived through the synthesis ending, and Edi was technically now half organic then I would definatelly romance her over Miranda or Jack =P.
EDI's lines were funny, interesting, and very well-delivered, but I never saw her as anything more than a construct. The reason is a little meta-theatrical. I don't mean she's a construct just because she's the robot in the story. She's a construct because, with the celebrity voice and voluptuous chassis (edit - and cameltoe, seriously what's up with that), she was made as fan service.
However, for EDI, that bias works! It's like her/Eva's body was designed to be an infiltrator, to deceptively appeal to people. My out-of-game perception just reinforces that notion, making her seem more effective inside the game. It's a bit of a twist I found surprising and fascinating.
So, what I would normally see as a pandering/marketing tactic, actually brought an twist that works for this character, thus EDI is very memorable to me.
Yeah! As I said earler, it wasn't just the outfit; however, when chasing Eva. (my cousin was watching me play), he asked: "Is that Miranda?" due to the identical garb.
AMMOF, I wonder if you can swap EDI's outfit for "Miranda's" garb one because I saw it on YT (unless moddd) Though color wise (to me) her alt outfit is blue. If anything, it appears when chosen, that she does have clothes on (not meant to sound dirty)

I love her really, but she is useless. The only thing she does is block my Shepard when I jump into cover.
I would have been happy with EDI as an NPC. Or they should have given her other powers.
Her body is an infiltration unite and she doesn't get a cool backstab ability with cloak like Kasumi?
Meh >.<

Apart from that she was great.

I wouldn't romance her if Shepard had the option. Her connection is obviously with Joker and always has been, even if the writers had kept it platonic.

Liara's 'you're welcome to look around' got very tedious, very quickly.
That said I did kill the romance in the Joker conversation becuase I found his attitude to her/it creepy (but that is a whole 'nother conversation).

Never used her. But it definitely didn't hurt the game.

I'm really digging EDI as a squadmate; currently I'm pairing her with James on Reaper missions - her Incinerate and Overload worked like charms on Grunt's Aralakh Company mission combined with James' Carnage, so I was really glad to have her along, plus her tactical advice during the mission made a lot of sense. (Currently I'm pairing Liara with Garrus on Cerberus missions, but I might try mixing it up and see how well EDI interfaces with Liara's skill sets.)
They blend poorly. EDI's talents are all tech, Liara's are all biotics. Unless you play a hybrid class yourself you won't be able to detonate anything and the majority of your damage will come from gunfire, which means you may aswell have brought James and Garrus.
EDI and Tali on the other hand...

I adored EDI as a squad mate, I didn't expect to, but I totally did.
She is honestly hilarious/adorable at some points.
Same here. Plus, she was main reason I choose not to destroy synthetics so se was pretty important.

Liara's Warp can detonate EDI's Overload. Not great, but it's a possibility.
EDI stripping the shields with overload so Liara can Singularity someone is handy. Though best if you're a Biotic yourself.

Basically to me EDI fills the role Miranda Should have had (albeit very poorly), and I would take her over EDI without hesitation (still doesnt make sense that she isnt a squaddie) but all in all I thought she was pretty cool, at least cooler than the other choices.
