What is with all the terrible ideas today?

 

Today?

The OP doesn't go far enough.   Every A.I. in the game should be Shepard, and they should be hitting on everyone.

Shepard reduced to the ships AI would make me cry.

 

and then... I'd get angry.

Reaper Shepard? Is it going to learn how to be a sexbot as well? Fisto is still the best tho, I like my sexbot's in the beta phase.

[Chardonney]

Uh, no, just no. For heaven's sake what a bad, bad idea.

So we all want some more Jennifer Hale (or Mark Meer), right? 

 

What if Shepard's memory engrams and recorded personality info provided the basis for Tempest's (or whatever the PC's ship is called) on-board artificial intelligence? Something like how (NERD ALERT!) in Star Trek the medical holograms all have real-life inspirations and character traits at their foundation.

 

The information and memories for the AI could plausibly have been collected by Cerberus during the Lazarus Project, or be based upon Liara's collected information for the beacon she was setting up for the next galactic cycle. Or something.

 

This would create a really nice but plausible and contained way of reflecting the tone and choices from the first ME trilogy. The ship's AI would be slightly different, offering different commentary and insights, depending on if you chose broshep or femshep, paragon or renegade. 

 

There could even be a subplot about getting the Shep AI access to secured data and memory files in order to make it more lifelike, give it more command of the more complex and dark parts of Shepard's memories and actions in the original trilogy. This could build up to a decision over shackling or unshackling the Shep AI, which would obviously be influenced by its tendency toward Paragon or Renegade. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Not too bad - I mean we know that people made Shepard VIs and we know that Cerberus did clone Shepard, too - and loads better than wanting to play as Shepard again (I liked my different Sheps, but the character is just an Avatar in the game world for me, so any new character will do, as long as it's a blank (well, almost blank as Shep does have a past, though luckily it's not all that fleshed out!) slate I can project myself on!)

ps: as long as it does not go full Skynet -.- (sorry, but I hate the "Technology will wipe us out" storyline (yes, it's amusing sometimes, but it's been done enough IMHO!), unless it's fleshed out more (like the Quarians and the Geth, were the Geth had good reasons to drive the Quarians from their home (note: They only drove them off, they didn't wipe them out!)...unlike say Skynet in Terminator which IMHO has no good reason to kill humanity!)

Given everything Shep has been through..........I really don't want an AI that can control a ship to have PTSD!

[Innocent Bystander]

No. Either Jeri Ryan (ST Voyager - Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One) or Ashly Burch (as Tiny Tina, including personality) for ship's AI.

What if the AI was modelled after Joker?

 

I could easily see one of the freelance jobs that Joker did after he left the Alliance post-ME1 being to beta-test a VI, unaware that he'd also signed off on them using his personalilty as a template when they came to working on personality emulators to increase user-friendliness. Woe betide everyone when the VI ended up becoming sentient later on.

Bioware, do it. It's probably a joke, but I'll miss Joker. This might help a bit.

Joker was a great character, besides he was often on the intercom messing around or trolling with the crew so often, he could easily have been our ship's wisecracking AI from the start and we'd barely notice any difference.

So instead of EDI's "logging you out" from ME2, the AI would say "I should go" when the conversation's over?

Nope, it would be ''Alright, see ya''.

Never heard the renegade version before. So much better.
