Was the ****** too much? probably. Then again, I feel the changes made to Liara and Ashley were much more explicit and those hardly had any rational explanation other than pandering.

How do you figure this? Ashley got long hair, Liara got slightly larger breasts.
You can literally see EDI's vagina.

Or are you not talking sex-wise?

Man, she's a sexbot, how much worse could it get?

Liara had a common body type in ME1, you can argue that getting her own model in ME justified the (massive) breast augmentation, but it is a testament of how the developers decided to favor aesthetics, and in this case sexualization over design continuity and coherence.

Ashley was worse because the new look pretty much contradicts her ME1 persona, and we all know it was done to make her more "appealing" which is kind of sad, because the best part of her was always her personality and I don't think she needed a D cup to be considered interesting.

EDI was made so by design, that's why I don't consider it a big deal.

Yeah. Pretty much this.

EDI's presentation does not leave much to the imagination.

Kind of reminds me of performance art. You know, where the performer is not wearing any clothes, just artfully crafted body paint that simulates clothing.

Makes it hard to argue against the gamer's stigma, huh..

Is not vagina. Is hole for oil changing :3

I dunno, but the ****** was weird.

I liked what they did with her I remember first seeing that when I glanced at my Art of the Mass Effect Universe- i was so stoked!

[JBPBRC]

I never liked it since no matter what, renegade or paragon, Shepard gives some form of approval. Much like not being able to agree with Joker's joke about the Asari wasting all their time being strippers and dancers.

If the mass media wants, almost everything is/can be sexualized.
That's how it works.(At least in my area)

Not a damn thing

EDI's body was one of the reasons I almost never used her. It's just so ridiculous.

By having said sexbot have a creepy "romance" with the pilot of "her" main body.

Speaking of the main body, the EC adds some extra lulz with Shepard the moron risking the Normandy to save EDI 's disposable sexbot chasis.

just think, we probably didnt get to see our war assets in cimematics because the time and resources were spent by some lonely nerd developer making EDI a vagina

[Jadebaby]

The thing I don't get is the whole synth vs organics thing when EDI and Joker are ****ing dating! 0_o

Frankly, I think that is ridiculous, based on the way EDI is handled in the game. Whenever romance or sex comes up with EDI, it's clearly written to be endearing and humerous, not sexually enticing. If the point was really to draw in players with sex, I think it's pretty obvious that EDI would have been made a love interest and been present in ME 3's advertising. 

Dr. Eva Coré appeared to be pretty smoking hot, so they could've reskinned EDI to look more human if they wanted her to be really attractive and sexualised.

I think if they (Bioware or any game dev) are going to implement a female robot body, it's always going to be a physically attractive one.

Maybe the finer detailsB) were going a bit too far.  But the portrayal of Miranda and Ash is more eyebrow raising imo.  It does make sense that TIM would build Eva to be attractive, and to appeal to those she's supposed to fool.

I personally don't get all the EDI hate on the ME3 boards, almost everyone liked her in ME2 and she was one of my favourite squad mates in ME3. For what it's worth I've always enjoyed talking to EDI, Tricia Helfer really nailed this character, I always enjoy female characters that come across as intelligent and professional without being too emotional, I also love her sense of humour. My only complaint is that I have a hard time wrapping my head around her romance with Joker, he's a human and she's a robot, it's hard not to think about sexdolls whenever each character mentions the romance.

I think most of the controversy revolves around her 'over sexualized' appearance and her story arc ( the synthetic life form trying to be more human story arc has been done to death in various forms of media, I think Patrick Weekes did an un-official off the record interview where he moaned about having write a 'Pinochio character' ).

Edit

I forgot to mention that her default body just blatantly screams stare at my ****** and apparently she has a major ****** problem in her other outfits (I haven't tried these myself so I don't know but I've seen numerous posts about this ).

Yeah but that was an order.....a moral one

she shouldve never been a squadmate.
she shouldve always been a disembodied AI on the normandy.

whoever thought it was a good wriing move to include her as a squadmate and then have her and joker fall in love should be writing childrens stories

This

[Podge 90]

Thinking about it, it would have been good if this had been a decision that was placed on the player. Either encourage EDI to make use of the empty vessel in the AI Core, perhaps enabling a more.....friendly relationship with Joker (and maybe more *pervy wink*) and allowing her to be a squad mate, or tell her to just focus on controlling the Normandy and assure her she's as much a crewmate as any other member.

It'd be another thing to add to the replayability, at least, which some would argue is lacking with ME3.
