I liked her. Not used her too much but only cause i had other priorities.

I didn't not like her. It just seemed bizarre to me that they needed to fill one of the limited number of squad spaces with her. Would have preferred Miranda to have that slot and EDI to stay the ship's AI.

Yes I liked her. She had a good sense of humour and filled the tech crew member slot nicely for anyone without Tali. Also found her back story interesting.

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 it

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 think the Bioware missed a trick in squandering the duplicitous potential of EDI in favour of making her a sexy robot with huge boobs and ******.

EDI was awesome companion in ME3, although when I first saw here my jaw just dropped like in those goofy cartoons.

I would trade EDI for any ME2 Squadi.
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 >.<

Let's just say that when she first revealed her new form, I was half tempted to throw the controller at the screen. Her taking the place of a potential ME2 squadmate bothered me considerably more than Vega, as EDI already served a perfectly good purpose on the ship. Utterly pointless, nevermind the cameltoe.

For my normal play through I didn't use her as much due to the fact I raped face before my squad mates could react. On my insane run through although after everything was upgraded seemed easier than normal difficulty. I used EDI for her VI clone and her overload and use Liara as my Biotic. I always play as a soldier so having the balance of powers was nice. Not to mention. I like EDI's voice.

I liked EDI but did think that some of the dialogue was not correct for an AI.

Apart from that she was great.

I like her. But I liked her as a blue orb, too. They honestly didn't need to give her a body. Didn't bring her along much because her abilities just aren't that special. EDI+Tali vs Rannoch was quite fun to watch though.

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.

Yep. EDI was a good character and while I didn't use her a ton, I liked having her around for a few, like Grissom Academy.

Literally never used EDI. Mostly for gameplay reasons, though. When you play a biotic you roll with Liara + Javik, when you play a soldier you roll with Garrus + James/Ashley if you have her. If you're an engineer then bringing EDI has a point, buuuut.... I never play engineer.

So there.

>:o

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.)

I liked EDI - I would have liked her more if she'd worked out how to get dressed or the body was an enhanced Loki or similiar but the dialogue was fun. I found her one of the most interesting characters along with Garrus - the only people I actually looked forward to talking to after every mission.

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.

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 liked all her dialogue. But I would've preferred if she never got that body and simply talked as the little sweet blue hologram she was =)

Not to mention the body looks ridiculous x_x

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.

I quite liked her, I ended up taking her along becuase she had quite good dialogue stuff, especially when you met old ME2 crew mates. Also having a team mate thats a super computer with advanced battle and warfare software seemed too much to squander her by leaving her behind.

I thought she was pretty interesting. I took her (and Garrus) on nearly every mission in my first ME3 playthrough because I wanted to hear what she had to say. She quickly became one of my favorites.

EDI and Garrus are my favorites in me3 both on missions and in general. (Its kinda funny that a robot has more personality than a certain blue shadowbroker lol)

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.
