Worse than I thought

[skellington1]

I thought I'd get through ME3 before posting about issues I have with Joker and, of course, EDI. I thought I'd managed to avoid some of the Joker/EDI nastiness by shutting her down hard early on. I was pretty thankful for that, actually.

But I thought wrong.

Last night I triggered the ambient dialogue wherein Joker is basically asking Mordin

Comments

I didn't get that dialogue (thankfully). I just didn't take EDI with me anywhere. I felt sort of guilty because I still like her character, just not the over sexed body and the Jokermance.

Is it just me or are everyone's boobs bigger in ME3?

[skellington1]

I didn't take her with me -- I got that ambient by walking into the Normandy med-bay while Mordin was there. That's all it took.

And it's not just you, everyone has bigger boobs.

I honestly tried to just give it a shot, but it just bothered me, especially after getting shot down by Joker (ranks is the worst excuse). It does seem like you're supposed to laugh AT that relationship at points, but it feels mean spirited, not like when Mordin tried hooking Eve and Garrus up.

[skellington1]

Yeah, 'mean spirited' is totally the thing. The entire crew makes comments about it, and it all feels like pointing and laughing, not cute cameraderie.

And then the slap-in-the-face rejection. I'd have rathered just not bringing it up, so I could have some canonic ambiguity.

Oh, and the dialogue is available on youTube -- baxaronn found it. A whole bunch of suggestions from Mordin that make Joker look like a total and complete idiot ('cause, er, 31 with OI and you haven't realized physical therapy helps? If that's the case you've probably got a frickin' memory disorder).

Watched it. *SIGH* It makes it seem like he's never had sex before or something. It seems like its there to explain to the player how EDI/Joker would work sexually. It's really not needed, and feels like a cheap gag.
