Well I think whole point of EDI's character arc in ME3 was her being a person. Getting body that she could travel along, fighting against Cerberus who used her as tool, asking tons of questions from Shepard to find answers if she was person or not and how should she grow as person, what kind of person should she be and finally her developing relationships and emotions towards crew members.

It's just AI fumbling for purpose after being unshackled.

Not even a true AI just a cobbled together VI with a Reaper code implanted in it.

It's questions, its existance, those things do not equate to life. Life is organic.

It could be interesting but only if the synthetic doesn't get a human-like body.

You can have that opinion, though it's not universally shared. Both EDI's and Legion's story arcs were about being alive and being person, Shepard had options to agree with that or deny it and players of course have those options as well.

He was romanceable..

 

I guess I have here same thoughts as with aliens, I like my romances to appear humanoid ^^

[Puddi III]

I think it'd be a more interesting romance with a character like EDI if they remained without a physical body. The sexbot thing is a throwback to cheesy sci fi that I'm not necessarily writing off any possible implementation of, but it was a bad route to force on that character I think.

We the geth... actually had a toaster unit. But since we do not eat they were essentially useless. As we disassembled them we named the project 'toasted'.

I'm not opposed to the idea of some flesh on metal action. I'm just opposed to being the first one to try sticking my **** into someone that could snap me in half at the waist if she gets carried away with her squeezing because I was doing too good.​

[Linkenski]

I remember that moment in ME3 where Joker asks about what Shepard thinks of him and EDI for real, and says something about "A shattered pelvis". My reaction was like "So you're actually thinking about ****** that? You don't need brittle-bone disease to get a shattered pelvis from that, bro."

If the PC can sex it, why not?

Back in my day, people posted shocked messages at the thought of romancing aliens. In those times, forumite AdmiralCheez amused us with the anecdote that she got hooked to the series because a friend said you could romance aliens. Was not shy about her appreciation for suave gentleturian Lorik Qui'in. Today, noone bats an eye at the idea of banging Garrus.

 

I don't like how they wrote synthetics in ME3. I believe the synthetics' pinocchio story came from upstairs, not from the writers' pit. But this specific case doesn't detract from the general idea.

 

The whole point is moot anyway because Andromeda isn't concerned with organics/synthetics. That was a theme of the trilogy and is best left behind.

What?

Why not? The OP said romance, not sex. If DAI can have an asexual romance, why not ME? I liked the idea of Joker/EDI much better before she got her cringeworthy new body, complete with cameltoe.

 

Also, I'm surprised no one has brought up "there was a hole" yet. BSN,  I am disappoint.

[Larry-3]

I want to see how an A.I. would flirt with me, or any living human in general. I picture the A.I. saying things like, "your body temperature almost always stays at 98.6 degrees. Hot.", "I love how you push buttons on a laptop.", "Do you know what a neural like is?" Of course I would be smiling and laughing at all of it. Regardless, if the A.I. looks like EDI... I will put thought into a romance.

[wass12]

Would be interesting to see the concept of romance through the eyes of a synthetic. But a simple "robot develops emotions, declares love" story would be boring.  

[Oldren Shepard]

For many of you romance = sex, well i'm lucky not to see it that way

 

Copy an paste from other topic

 

http://forum.bioware...us-games/page-1

 

"I like what you're proposing, but in every game they probably will include new characters to expand the possibilities of romance, that would transcend from the first, to the second game, to the third (and to try to keep everyone happy they'll give them some degree of romance or involvement with the new characters).

 

If the rest of leaks are true, we'll have a number similar to the first game, personally I prefer that the squad mates be 3 or 4 to evolve a deeper way every relationship from the main character.

 

And for the relationship i prefer it to be platonic, the end of getting involved with someone in that way (for me at least) is not getting laid (is a wonderful and pleasant part but...), is to know that person and vice versa her flaws, qualities, be supportive, listening, be sympathetic, rely, be honest, in some cases do things you don't want but either way you do it, for her for sharing the time together."

But this was why the storyline was problematic. There was was no middle ground.

 

You had to either say "EDI, you are a person, as much as I am, or anyone else is!" or "You're a bucket of bolts, and you suck!"

 

My personal opinion was that EDI was not a person, and a facsimile of life. But EDI replicated life well enough that EDI warranted treatment as analogous to (but acknowledged as fundamentally different from) a person.

 

Or in another context, "No Legion, you don't have a soul, and you're an imitation of quarian life, but you're still my friend."

I guess that's how it often is with games Bioware's included. Not really optimal for role-playing, but easier for developers I guess.

Just saying, I haven't played Digital: A Love Story or Analogue: A Hate Story yet, but I think it is a cool concept to explore.

I think EDI was alive.  But she was not human, and treating her as such is a disservice.  She does not feel or experience things the same way a human would.  Or, for that matter, a salarian, a krogan, or an asari.

 

If she and Joker think they can find happiness together, that's fine.  But she shouldn't have to become an oversexualized sex doll in order to achieve that happiness.

 

SImilarly, Legion did have a soul, but again, was not human.  More, it's mind wasn't even a singular entity.  The geth consensus is a truly alien mindset, with a truly alien perspective.  A pity they were reduced to Pinocchios

 

  Treating every species like one's own is racist. Even benign anthropomorphism

[Kouzai]

Yep I don't think Geth quite fit to romances at all. Legion seemed to have attachment towards Shepard, but I don't think romance is sth Geth can understand and well feel. If they feel love it's platonic. Even EDI in my opinion didn't really seem to have romantic feelings towards Joker although she seemed to possess much more human-like emotions compared to Geth.

 

I guess that's reason why I would be more into cyborg/android romance than Al, Als in ME don't seem to possess similar feelings as organics do. Maybe if we would have Synthetic companion that was unshackled a long time ago instead of EDI who is just unshackled and discovering what it means to be a person, same with Legion who is discovering being individual instead of just part of consensus, we could get Al romance option that could work out better and would have more romantic feelings towards protagonist if their self-discovery has lead them to that. 

^ This in a nutshell. If AI romance would be done in such a way it would be interesting. Cyborg or Androids might be better though.

 

AI's can be both 'human-like' and close but not human. Both options would be interesting.
