Do You Want a Synthetic Sidekick?

In terms of the game? Technically we have Sam riding our brains so he can be seen as a sidekick.
I enjoyed Legion's participation but was leery of Edi (it was the pornstar body that bugged me.)
Depends on how they would write the character really. It is possible they may give him a platform
to move about in, but I'm just surmising.

I adored EDI and thought Legion could've been the most interesting squaddie in ME2 if not for the fact that you recruit him at the very end of the game.

Why no poll for this one?

I'll preface by saying that I always encourage EDI to romance Joker and become more human. I also mix her in for squadmate use like all the rest (except my LI, who I always bring). Unless I've screwed up somewhere, I also broker peace between the geth and the quarians.

All that said, no, I'm not looking for a new synthetic squadmate. It's sort of a "been there, done that" type of scenario. EDI was a sex bot, physically speaking, and though I realize SAM is "male" I don't know that we need a male version of a sex bot. What might make me change my mind is if the synthetic were, from casual observation, organic in nature. If you watch Agents of SHIELD, they've got these LMDs (Life Model Decoy) that are outwardly indistinguishable from humans. Something like that might sway my interest, particularly if it were an Andromedan and we don't initially know we're interacting with a synthetic - it's something we discover, maybe on the loyalty mission.  Other that that, little interest.

For the record, I believe that in 160 years synthetics will likely be integrated with human society, but that's potential real life and not a sci fi future.
