EDI and the Geth.....?

The Destroy wave destroyed their software. We see this with the Reapers too where their bodies exist but are still dead. Same with EDI and the Geth. Their bodies still exist, but what made them them were killed. And that can’t be recreated. The closest is something close, but that’s not them just like cloning a person doesn’t make the clone the person they were cloned from.

Oh I see.  I knew it destroyed the Reapers both software and hardware, but with other synthetics like EDI and the Geth I thought it just destroyed their platforms.  Thanks for the reply.

It's been too long since I dug into this stuff but wasn't there a comment from Bioware during the whole blow up over the endings that hinted that "MAYBE" Edi and the Geth could have survived?

The Reapers were a whole specific combination/type of organic and synthetic whereas the Geth and Edi were completely synthetic with just upgrades to their software, I am sure there is wriggle room in there if Bioware wanted to exploit it.

I've mentioned before the geth could survive the red. In ME4, they start acting different because of the red. By the end of the game, they're back to what they were before uploading the code.

About the edibot. It would be best not to have it return. In ME4, Moreau is still sad about the loss of his family members. Admits it was silly having feelings for a robot. By the end of the game is dating a human female.

Have a look at this short film (about 30 minutes):



If that was EDI, would it change your mind?

I get what you're saying and I am not opposed to being friends with an AI, and having one for company.  A month ago I saw a video about two robotic nurses that are in production.  I'm just saying Jeff took things to the extreme.  I mean he really loves the Normandy.  I mean if I had the money and such a sophisticated AI were available I'd buy one, since I'd prefer it over real people.  I am not a people person in real life lol.  But like I said Jeff takes thing to the extreme.

I loved the green ending myself. I like the concept of symbiosis. I start laughing just thinking about it.

AI: So your username is seriously, 'Fuckit' and they let you get away with that?
Me, "our username now, buddy."

I also like the idea of synthesis I just do not like that the Reapers are still around.  I mean they wiped out whole civilizations and now we're supposed to be buddies?  If it wasn't for that, synthesis would be my preferred ending.

Yeah I'm not really a p[eopl eperson eithe rand what wit hbeing diasbled I kind o fge twha tJeff feels as I think m ybes tfriend is probabl ymy PC given how man yhours I spend playing games and doing stuff on it.

I am pretty sure it would look weird to most organics in the ME universe. AI research and development is outlawed. The AI "race" in the universe has been murdering any organic that attempts to enter former Quarian space for the past 300 years. The Geth are not the merciful peace seeking AIs that Legion tries to show them as in ME3.

If EDI started out like Data in Star Trek, I could see it working. But EDI starts out as a starship, and Jeff already has strong feelings for ships he is piloting. EDI suddenly getting a body and Jeff wanting to jump on that is not healthy at all. It would work better if EDI had a love interest  that met her after she had a humanoid body.

The quarians tried to exterminate the geth when they noticed that they actively evolved the geth into full AI. Creating AI was prohibited, hence the quarians panicked with genocide as a result. Fortunately the geth won the Morning War and they retreated beyond the Perseus Veil, because they didn't want to exterminate all the quarians. And yes, they destroyed all vessels trying to enter their region. That totally makes sense, because council forces were trying to kill the remaining geth at that time.

The hostile geth, a faction known as the heretics, were following Nazara. It appears to be some kind of artificial indoctrination, because the heretics revered Nazara, much like a religion.

The non-hostile geth distanced themselves from the heretics. What makes those geth non-hostile was that they cleaned up the quarian home worlds out of respect for their creators, in case of a future peace. Any race would never go into that much trouble, if they were truly evil. So they anticipated and supported a future return of their creators. All that was required was peace.
