I would also imagine that they wanted to further justify Tricia and Freddies pay checks for the Extended Cut with these DLC moments...just saying. They are more high profile then Hillis, Stroka, Keener, Brooks, and Sbarge.

Yes. Really lame.

The only other two squadmates who are guaranteed to be around are EDI and James, and what do you know, both of them get trotted out in this one.

Beat me to it. I was going to add Garrus to the list of guaranteed, but remembered that he can die in the SM, so yeah, it was a choice of 3, as Leviathan is available as soon as you reach the Citadel the first time (which is when i did it). James would make no sense at all in the role, and Liara, well,  a hell of a lot of BSN's would rage even more if it was Liara that was in EDI's place (didn't stop me taking Liara on each expedition off the Normandy though ).

Edi, Liara, and James are the only characters that are in every single ME3 save file.

the other 5 characters are optional, which is why edi and james got face time in critical events.

[f1r3storm]

Ah, first people want more integration and dialogue with squaddies in DLC and now this...

[Transairion]

The only times EDI is forced is when you're walking around the lab.... not fighting anyone anyway.

It's like walking around on the Citadel normally is, except EDI follows you and says ****. If she wasn't there then Shepard would be talking to himself like he did at the bottom of the ocean...

But yeah, EDI comes to help sort out the ****-ton of information present in the lab. The DLC probably would've taken a few years ingame time of Shepard sorting through papers without her.

[ticklefist]

Eh, I like EDI. At least she tries to have a personality. I mean this in contrast to Liara who tries to suppress hers.

[EricChase88]

I would take a real person rather than some computer pretending to be human.

[Most Definitely Sane]

I would take some computer pretending to be human over a forumite pretending to have good reasons to dislike EDI.

And now we're at the heart of it! No, no, not your disdain for synthetic life. That's a topic best argued by stinking hippies. You think Liara is a real person!

[millsenberry]

i feel guilty for killing EDI in the destroy ending, so i figured i'd take her on extra missions so she gets more out of her life. XD did the same to ash in ME1 before getting her killed too.. =O

I am very impressed that nobody has incorrectly used the term "plot armor" in 60 posts. That's got to be a goddamn record in threads like this.

[MissMaster_2]

I love EDI.

[Kataphrut94]

We get one of these "omg such and such a character is too popular!" threads at least once a week now. Why is it every time I see one, my first thought is "ooh, you poor baby". Seriously, the characters are pretty well balanced in terms of dialogue and interactibility. Kaidan/Ashley and Tali have a bit of a disadvantage because they get recruited later than most, James, Liara and EDI have an advantage because they will never be dead, but overall you still have a great cast of characters with fairly equal amount sof content. Stop looking for nits to pick, it makes you look like an obsessive imbecile.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with EDI helping out the Citadel investigation bits. She gets some good dialogue and it reminds me of the partners you had during cases in LA Noire. Of course EDI isn't a hard-drinking, chain-smoking, wife-hatin' gumshoe with a sharp suit and a sweet hat, but that will hopefully change when the next DLC costume pack is released...

Mass Effect: Film Noir Edition - make it happen, Bioware!

[CrazyRah]

I'm cool with the fact that more characters than Liara got something to do and have some importance in a DLC. Got nothing against EDI and she did have some great lines and she do fit the role of helping an investigation.

[Cassandra Saturn]

um.. i find it ironic that you don't like her... EDI is not forced on you. you do not know that EDI IS REAPER AI that was born from Rogue VI on Luna in Mass Effect. she was reborn as EDI in ME2. and her secret was revealed to us in the Attack on TIM's base. get your facts straight. EDI is more than just computer. she is Living machine, like Legion.

Whats funny to me is the Joker's V.A; Seth Green, has his own show called "Robot Chicken", and in one of the sketches a scientist built a female-ish robot that he presented to his colleagues. Their first question: "Can you **** it?"

Seems "coincidental" to me that the first robot squadmate is an attractive robot. And that Joker ends up with her.

To me, I think she is favoured, but only because she is a new character that they want to establish like the others.

lol no she's not new to ME3, she has been a voice in ME2.

[darthmarticus]

I was happy with her inclusions rather than have Shepard wondering alone like ME2 DLC would have seen. In fact is made me take her on all the missions.

But seriously, she's still nowhere near as bad as Liara.

To be truthful, I kind of suspect the only reason it's EDI is because they thought better of thrusting Liara upon us yet again (probably the original proposal had Liara in the role of lab assistant).

The only other two squadmates who are guaranteed to be around are EDI and James, and what do you know, both of them get trotted out in this one.

I'm kind of glad they used EDI, though. Now I feel better about never taking her on missions. In the vanilla game, she never really felt like a squadmate, because I hardly ever saw her. ;-)

I'm still not picking synthesis, though.

And I'm very glad they pushed for EDI & Vega to have more content than Liara AGAIN, especially after From Ashes was practically Liara DLC Part 2

That's sweet. They never actually say what happens to EDI or the Geth in the Destroy ending, so I'll just assume that they survived if I had high EMS. I'm not merging them together with organics because that defeats the purpose of peaceful coexistence.

actually, they still will die. you see, DESTROY option actually kills all systems including Ships's systems that easily, so all ships affected would be dead or Destroyed as they short circuited and blew up.
only way to prevent that it would have to shut down all systems before the blast.

EDIT:
forgot to add one more line.

EDI is absent from the squad at the end when they put Shepard's name on the memorial wall, and EDI's name is also up on the wall. Its pretty apparent that she's dead. The geth's absence from any of the slides in destroy also indicates that they are no longer there. I think Bioware was trying to be a bit more subtle about it and downplay the whole 'all synthetics die' part of destroy, but everything points to them being dead. Doesn't make a huge amount of sense to me - the device capable of detecting and altering the DNA of everything in the galaxy via 'science' is somehow unable to differentiate between the Reapers and other synthetics - but its pretty clear that EDI and the geth died in the destroy ending.

Although if you want to headcanon it a bit who am I to say otherwise? I already headcanon the ending quite a bit, so I don't begrudge anyone else doing the same. I'm only pointing out that the game is pretty clear on what has happened to EDI and the geth.

[Crypticqa]

-Squad mate tries to help you- "Oh my god, kill it with fire, it is forced!"

Seriously, EDI is logical choice and it is not a big deal, you don't have to take her on combat missions...

[Someone With Mass]

They picked EDI, because she's guaranteed to be present when you're doing that DLC no matter what and I think an AI that can calculate multiple assignments before you even open your mouth would be better than the information broker who is just that. An information broker.

If you didn't notice, the whole thing was more about calculating coordinates and accessing data banks than finding rumors.
