Mass Effect: Ranking Every Main Squad Member In The Original Trilogy
12. EDI
Originally, EDI was just the Artificial Intelligence unit installed on the Normandy SR-2 in Mass Effect 2 until she got a physical upgrade in the final game and became a fully fledged squad member. EDI is one of the most humorous characters in the trilogy as she attempts to learn and understand human behaviour and master jokes.
EDI acquiring a cybernetic body in the Mass Effect 3 was a welcome surprise as she already felt like a fully fleshed out member of the crew in the previous game. Her building relationship with Joker, which becomes romantic, is endearing and sweet and provides some of the most wholesome content in the series.
She has becomes a staple member of the Mass Effect franchise and her obtaining a body only solidified that fact. Ironically, despite being just an A.I., her relationships and developing consciousness has resulted in making EDI one of the most human characters in the trilogy.
