And guys, that stuff about EDI is spoiler-times, please stop. I actually find the whole thing with EDI pretty funny - yes, it's cheese, but it's unironically hilarious cheese. You take a series where every robot is as non-gendered as possible and when EDI can make a body for herself she makes an art-deco-ish sexy robot lady more suitable to the serial sci-fi stories of seventy years ago? THat's fantastic, come on.

Technically EDI did not make her body, just stole one from TIM. And I don't find funny, mostly tacky and using a basic marketing ploy, sex sells. 

That's not a valid criticism, though, in that it's not used for marketing. Hence why it's a spoiler.

And it's tacky, sure, but it's in the context of a universe that has fairly even gender representation, and fairly even sexual representation from myriad sides. It's okay for there to be one character who is basically a cheesy bit of sexy fun, so long as it's played light-heartedly and for humor. Yes, it's crass and it doesn't have the same kind of dignity that they use to treat other female characters, but SHE IS A SEXY ROBOT. THat is hilarious.

And she did change the body of that Doctor considerably in order to reach her current form. She went from a hideous sexless (secondary sexual characteristics, not primary) human-shaped techno-organic monster to a sleek chrone sexy robot lady with a metal thong built in. She even says she modified the body when you talk to her about it.

I have to admit I'm kind of disappointed nobody is talking about, like, strategies and gameplay and stuff. That's the part I've always found more interesting.

Like this: Insanity in this game doesn't add protection onto all the enemies! That changes up my tactics significantly.
