you need to watch more Star Trek.

Actually, that engineer wasn't based off of Scotty. They simply noticed the similarity afterward and were like "Oh...wow. We're absent minded." As for the character, yeah. He was pretty funny. He was one of the best NPCs in the game.

[RisenChudJr]

they mean the Scotty expy on the engineering deck. The irish dude.

That's interesting.

Ah, and I was always waiting for the "We just don't have any more power captain!" during the end run.

Yeah, I thought so. I think that was why we didn't get any easter eggs about Scotty's catch phrases.

Ken wasn't based off Scotty. He was originally meant to be a crew LI for FemShepard so they based him off someone one of the Dev's (Dusty I think) wife found sexy. Ewan MacGregor. It was much later in the process that someone on the team made the scotty connection and they did a big 'Doh!'

There's a dev post on it somewhere in this forum.

Pft, yeah right. Scottish engineer? Hello!
Plus Shep has that "It's green" line with a drink, somebody in BioWare watches Star Trek, and Scotty specifically.

Edit: When asked, developers tend to deny intentional similarities to fictional characters in big franchises like Star Trek.
For example, to this day Bethesda vehemently denies that their giant robot with a deep, booming voice called Liberty Prime had any inspiration from Transformers. Whatever.

Is that some kind of a joke?

Optimus Prime
Librity Prime

That's completely ridiculous. It's like impossible that they would have made that character without OP in mind.

A Bioware dev said on one of these threads he was not based off of Star Trek. I did like him though.

Both the ME2 engineer and Star Trek guy are both Scottish.

They deny it because they fear getting sued for plagiarism if they admit it.

They problably wouldn't, but EA and Zenimax both have nasty lawyers and they no doubt tell the devs "DENY it or else."

I thought his name was Donnely

They can not be sued by being influenced by Scotty but if they were using the catch phrase lines like beam me up scotty then they could. There is no need for them to fake deny.

There's no need from our perspective, but lawyers don't see things from our human perspective. Directly admitting reference to another fictional character is like commiting seppuku in their eyes.

He is secretly making out with her, But they got pissed when Tali joined because they couldn't do it in the Engineering room and they had to find some sort of excuse to leave.

Yes, Engineer O'Donnelly is Irish and Scotty is Scottish. But the accents are not very different. Im sorry if your Irish or Scottish and that offends you, but its true. 

Letting all those Star Trek fans in on a little secret: George Takei who is the original Sulu, is Japanese. John Cho, the new Sulu, is Korean. Not a big deal.

Deny it all you want, O'Donnelly was an homage to Scotty.
