I don't mind if the OP thinks it lacks originality, but EDI being a hyper-sexualized Jacob-esque-abs male-bot would have been entertaining on a number of levels.

On a philosophical level, the gender-neutral/ambiguous nature of AI as distinct to organic pre-defined gender roles to play to the theme of synthetics as a truly different form of life. Rather than Legion being One Of The Guys (look at those biceps!), or EDI being geek-girl v. 2.0, playing EDI with a feminine voice in a masculine body would have contrasted the expectation.

On a metagaming level, subverting the expectation would have actually convinced me Bioware was trying for anything serious. Playing it straight, despite the absurdity, could give it some weight.

On an visual level, the Normandy could use more man-meat. James tries, but he's holding down the fort on his own.


And on a comedic level, giving Joker a sexuality crisis would have been worth it in spades.

Actually funny you say that. I only said the thing about originality because I saw you post the idea before. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome, it's just I'd seen you do it before and didn't fancy it getting discussed here is all. But now you've brought it up, go ahead if you like.

EDI is a series of large computers located behind the medical bay on the Normandy. The body is a remote terminal. What it looks like is largely irrelevant to me.

Actually when you see a sexy woman your too busy looking at the assets to think about anything else that's the whole point.

Since Joker chickens out ... Just have EDI change bodies with Vega. Jeff deserves to hear that voice he was lusting over coming out the Vega-bot.

[Apocaleepse360]

Honestly? I'd keep the model she has now, give her more armour and make it so she actually has skin and hair, and actually looks like a human rather than a robot. That way she'd be able to fully blend in and fully experience organic life without having to pose as Jokers "assistant mech".

[Phlander]

She used to be so beautiful.

Overall I like what they could have done with EDI, she's been unshackled and is growing unhappy with always being o the sidelines while her crewmates and friends put themselves in danger.  She wants to help, she wants to get down and dirty with the rest of the crew because she knows her abilities (cyber warfare) will be useful on the ground in a fight against the Reapers.  Taking that stance rather than the, "I want to get a man." line you know what would be a great body for EDI?  This



Scaled down in size perhaps, kind of a War Machine thing, and we have a Tech spec with heavy weapons, that ladies and gentlemen is how your unchained AI helps in the field.

If we are going for an infiltration unit, I'd go for a bioroid (a la Outlaw Star), in which case she'd look human (or Cylon if you wanna go BSG).

Barring that, if we go more robotic, I'd like something that evokes Masamune Shirow (creator of Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed).

Of course, this being EA owned, I'm surprised they didn't go for the "mass market appeal" and give us Cortana 2.0 (or whatever).

And as unecessary as EDI's body was, it's better than Joker going into the "internet world/Matrix" and banging her in virtual reality. Also, if anyone else deserves some action, it may as well be him.

I didn't have a problem with her look, although I do see why people think she appears to be a sex bot or something. As for her so called ****** I don't even notice it unless I actually look for it.

EDIT: Oh, and if I had to choose a different for look for her I would actually have to agree with the post above me. A Ghost in the Shell inspired outfit with EDI having skin again would be nice to see.

This is what was great about EDI. A story about an AI becoming humanized without ever letting us forget what she was: you didn't think she was 'human' because she looked like one, but because she acted as one. It was such a refreshing way to look at what it means to be alive and sapient, and then ME3 went and took a giant sh!t all over that premise.

Sacrifice EDI's body and give me Legion back.

Please?

If I hadn't already watched a very creepy video on Cracked today, that'd definitely win the Nightmare Fuel Video of the Day.

at first i thought it was just a dumb and obvious attempt to put a sexy robot into the game but i suppose if you think about it it kind of makes sense for her to look the way she does, considering her body was designed by cerberus for eva core to infiltrate the mars archives it makes sense for it to be attractive because she can use it to her advantage in terms of flattering her way past guards or distracting people or whatever, you know? and if people are preoccupied with her appearance they'll be less likely to see past that and question what she's doing and why she is accessing top secret files and venting atmosphere from cafeterias and other such evil infiltrator robot things she gets up to. whether bioware had all that in mind when they designed her or whether they were just using it as an easy opportunity to put a sexy robot in the game, is another question.
