There's a point at which her robotic assets are just too much.
But then again, I wanted to upload EDI into a YMIR mech.

See, now I'm picturing a YMIR-EDI dragging a protesting Joker away while proclaiming 'THIS UNIT REQUIRES SNOO-SNOO!'

Joker's bones can kiss themselves goodbye.

On the bright side, Joker may finally have to use a full body brace.

Also, YMIR mechs would so tear through everything.

I imagine Joker's reaction would be somewhat similar to Fry and Zapp's.

That's ok, because Synthesis doesn't make her anymore alive, she already was.

"I feel alive"
"Thanks to you, I'm alive"

Synthesis:

"I'm alive"

Warning, synthesis may cause memory loss, use with caution.

She never says she's alive before Synthesis. She only says she feels alive due to Shepards influence. 

Yes, she did. it was one ofthelast 3 conversations you had with her.

Show me where she says "I am alive" before the Synthesis ending, and no, feeling alive doesn't mean you're alive. 

You are so wrong.....http://www.youtube.c...Rnl0hQNX0#t=88s

Feeling alive does not mean she is actually alive, it is really not that hard to understand. You only need to look at her behaviour at the memorial wall in Synthesis and Control. In COntrol she sits there without even a frown on her face. 

It is you who is wrong.

Well, this is a Bioware game, remember.

I'm not going to read through twenty pages of comments, but I'm willing to bet that countless people have said that EDI was 'sexualized' to draw in the nerdy teenage boy and basement dweller crowd because they love sexy robots.

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 humorous, 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.

her body speaks for itself....

what does that even mean anymore, what is a bioware game these days?

When the Bioware logo is on the cover.  I think.  :innocent:

You know, I'm sure there have been plenty of arguments throughout this thread about sexualization and male vs. female characters in fiction and empowerment and various other topics of the sort. I don't really want to get into any of that; those types of conversations have a very irritating tendency to lead to pointless conclusions like everyone is oppressed by everyone or some other nonsense.

But here's what I am sure of:

If the mere presence of attractive characters - their mere existence in a story - is derided as pandering or advertising or bad writing or sexism or anything of the sort, then we have got a bloody long way to go.

That's actually pretty common nowadays, and in every way valid.

I just want to know was it posted, it usually is in threads about Edi, still though was there any need for that?

[David7204]

Uhh...it's pretty common and valid for attractive characters to be in stories? Or it's common and valid for people to criticize characters on basically that basis alone?

The latter.

[David7204]

You're telling me it's valid to call a story 'bad writing' because it features attractive characters?

in the two years of A-level Media Studies classes i learnt many things, one of which is that anything done in any piece of madia is done for a purpose on purpose and another is that in any industry sex sells, if something/someone in show or animation that didnt have large knockers or supermodel physique before and then sudenly has them it was for the purpose of fan service and sex appeal, and youd have to blind to not see that with EDI, she was given those 'assets' for the sole reason of attracting a particular crowd.

Sex does sell. But that sure as hell isn't the only thing it does. There's a lot of difference factors and effects surrounding, and assuming that any kind of sex in fiction is there to do nothing but 'sell' is foolish.

I wonder if people went on like this about The Robot in Fritz Lang's Metropolis?

No I'd rather blame the 3d asset creation team for creating such attrocious character models.

[David7204]

Fine. Design. Art. Whatever. You're telling me that it's automatically bad storytelling to feature attractive characters in a story?

Very cheap, actually. I can pick up pretty much any of them for less than £10. I've had bad dinners that cost more. And the food poisoning was a more interesting conclusion.

If attractive to you means skintight bodsuits in firefights and exposed skin in vacuum,  then yes.

EDI could have controlled fighter UAV, thus providing air support

Stuff like that doesn't sit well with me. It's manipulative in such a subtle way, yet there is nothing subtle about it.
