EDI does have needs. She needs the Normandy to be safe and maintained. And she does have wants, although not material wants. And she has functions equivalent to organs.

I think you might want to go look up 'Socratic Irony.'

I wasn't heartbroken by her death, but I wasn't dancing on her grave either. It was just an unfortunate by product of stopping the Reapers.

EDI doesn't need the Normandy to function and the Normandy doesn't need EDI. What wants could EDI possible have? She also does not have functions equivalent to organs. She has a box, and that's it.

I think you might need to look up " 'I'm Always Right' Complex" and "Dogmatism" You are exhibiting several symptoms of it.

Honestly I hate the fact that EDI dies in the end. I've tried to say "Oh the Citadel DLC proves that EDI can be completely shut down without destroying her Blue Box." because that's what they said. EDI was powered down. That meant there was only a small part of EDI active in that platform during the DLC. So, Shepard could have told the crew "Power Down EDI" before shooting the tube. and only the mobile platform gets fried. She goes back to the blue globe when you power her back up. No. It's because she's made out of reaper tech. But there's other stuff that's made out of reaper tech.

The whole ending is messed. It's like Bioware wanted you to keep the reapers around. So the only way to get a satisfactory outcome is to pull a James T Kirk. Reprogram the ending, and that's what MEHEM does. EDI survives and so do the Geth.

She had better jokes than Joker, too.

Did anyone else feel bad for Eva Core?

After all if synthetics are alive, she was a prisoner murdered by EDI.

I did. She was only doing as she was told, and we should never kill POWs. 


Plus, she was hotter than EDI...

I can see that you are going for the "How Many Times Can I Post my Shepard" award.

It's funny how the issue right now is about
how EDI (and, by extension, the geth)'s deaths are not "pronounced
enough" in Destroy, when this sacrifice is otherwise looked at as:
[contrived to make Destroy less attractive.]

So, it's wrong for that sacrifice exist there at all, yet it should have been flaunted anyways?

I'm
calling BS. Lord knows if the geth and EDI did indeed have this big,
dramatic death-scene, it would be complained about for being
OMG-grimdark. You can't win with anti-enders. Everything is too much or
too little.

I'm of the mindset that feels that the mandatory death of all synthetics is a cheap and contrived way just to make control and synthesis more attractive and destroy less attractive because they can't stand on their own merits. 
I'm also of the mindset that feels if you are going to kill them anyway defying all good sense, you might as well go all the way and show it happening rather than it just be a weak off-screen death.  In for a penny in for a pound.

^This
At least show them getting disintegrated by the red wave. Like it happens to the alliance soldiers under a certain EMS? Correct me if I'm wrong.

You don't actually see them get disintegrated, you watch Earth get blasted to a crisp.

Yeah, but you can see a husk disintegrate on higher EMS Destroy. I've always liked the look the soldiers have after that.

"Wasn't I just being mauled?"

Some characters in Mass Effect 3 had genuine emotional loss with their death. EDI was not one of them, from my perspective.

In terms of adding new characters to the squad roster, Mass Effect 3 felt extraordinarily weak compared to the previous entry(which is far on the opposite spectrum of things). We got a body builder we apparently knew already(?), and an unnecessary humanization of a talking ship AI, which has since then become more of a joke - a runner-up only to Allers and Kai Leng.

While it's true there is a sense of growth in her between the beginning and end of the game, it isn't nearly enough to give any sort of emotional pause to know she's been sentenced to geth.

No. I hold a large distrust of AI, don't care what they did or who they are.

I do in a sense, but it's only because of the idea of an A.I, not what Bioware executed. I personally thought her arc would of done more justice if she was still the "Normandy". The whole humanization aspect of EDI can work, but there are certain aspects that just didn't vibe with me. ****** excluded, I personally wouldn't want to destroy her and the Geth, but hey - choices.

I didn't even really mind that. Joker makes a decent enough case for it in Citadel.
