According to Final Hours, the ending of Mass Effect 3 was literally thought up by a child

Well, if that's true Bioware has lost any credability it once had, this was supposed to be a series planned out years ago. But then again it doesn't surprise me that they had a 7 year old giving them script advice, they also apparently had Scrooge Mcduck on the panel for creating that ending given how horribly monetized it is (play our "pay to win" multiplayer to see all of this crappy ending! Wait... don't like that, well we'll probably sell you other work arounds in DLC or in the form of mobile device apps!). I mean seriously, if this is true, WTF.

As far as Edi's "cameltoe" goes, I'd imagine she's fully functioning sexually, at least for pleasure purposes. The implication was always there that she could (and probably eventually does) do things with Joker, since he himself was talking about concerns about breaking his bones if they got it on.

All comments about "sexbots" aside, understand that such does not have to be the only function of a unit that is so enabled. The EVA unit that EDI took over seemed to be intended for a wide range of deep cover assignments as well as general infiltration. I'd imagine seduction and similar things fell within the intended mission parameters. It certainly wouldn't be original in science fiction. "Sheen" from Piers Anthony's "Adept" series is fully functioning sexually, and she was basically sent as a bodyguard unit.

The only thing that makes me wonder about this is that with the flesh covering gone, I'm wondering how comfortable it would be with EDI, I suppose the actual sex organ has to be designed beyond the superficial to allow for comfortable and convincing penetration, but the rest of her is a hard endoskeleton. Of course I also figured that she followed the human countour too closely given that she was walking around as an endoskeleton, I'd expect the proportions to be a bit off since it was designed to fit a human profile with a covering that no longer existed.... but all of this is probably overthinking it.

I'm not going to detract artistic integrity points for "robot cameltoe" given the innuendos already in the game, and that fits right in as a sci-fi trope. Sexy female robots fit right into the genere, as does romance/sex with them. The 7 year old's letter influacing an ending that should have been set years ahead of time, the monetization, the Tali picture, the ending just not fitting within the storyline, the intentional false advertising and fraud... all of those are well deserved hits.

Those top notch graphics at work.
Robot camel-toes.

We're inches away from Rule 34 here people.
Still, I needed a good laugh, thanks.

The kid in question is most likely the Starchild himself, and indoctrined Casey Hudson to make him believe that ending was acceptable. By succeeding in this task, the Starchild has convinced the Mass Effect players, the only hope humanity has, that everything they will do in the future is meaningless and futile, ensuring the Reapers elimantion of organics this cycle.

The real question is why EDI would even use an infiltration unit for combat missions instead of something [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9l9wxGFl4k] more [http://onlyhdwallpapers.com/wallpaper/ghost_in_the_shell_haw-206_think_tank_haw_yeah_desktop_1024x768_wallpaper-62687.jpg] useful. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_xOhsfDYhY] It doesn't even look like it would work for infiltration without the skin. And we're not even getting into the question of why she'd remote-control one killbot as opposed to, say, fifty.

It's the equivalent of going into battle with a battered fleshlight.

So they followed a script sent to them from a 13 year old kid?
Huh, I'm 17, still in high school, do you think they'll hire me if I send them a resume?

Haters gonna hate. That kid is the fucking boss. I loved that last scene where they talk about "The Shepard" and it's like an act of fate that the mind of a child could come up with something that badass.
You have to be kidding. There were dozens of better ways they could've made us feel Shepard's loss than some kid. Making Shepard fall to his knees in agony over a kid who wouldn't crawl out of a vent and not over say: Eden Prime or Feros or Virmire or the citadel or human colonist or the suicide mission or all those Batarians in Arrival or Earth or Anderson or losses in ME3 or the love interest or the citadel again or TIM or anything else, really. No, it's a child that makes Commander Shepard lose it. - that sounds like pretty weak writing.

Tell me another tale about "teh Shepard" is obviously a DLC plug. We've already seen everything Shepard has done from Eden Prime to his/her death and that star gazer scene is the same whether Shep lives or dies anyway. The only stuff we haven't seen is stuff that hasn't been released yet aka DLC. -not to glance over the fact that Shepard dies but Bioware has said several times that this is Shepard's last game in any event.

As for "mind of a child" I think you're thinking about Casey Hudson. He has shown again and again that he is a little "underdeveloped".

You might be a little too old. But don't let that stop you from trying! Just keep it simple and try to write only small words and use phrases like: "it's always been my dream", "my single wish", "I'm only twelve (or under)", etc.

Too old? Darn.

I can't even tell what that's an image of.

Also, that child was stupid. That's a stupid letter.
I believe that is EDI's camel toe D:

Funny, didn't even know she had a vagina.
Of course EDI has a Vagina!

I'm with you on that. I was really upset that after the ending you get that PDA message saying you can "continue to build Shepard's legend and beyond (hinting at DLC), WHEN. I. WATCHED. SHEPARD. DIE. And the Normandy end up on some random planet somewhere else. How in the hell am I supposed to do more stuff after "saving" everyone after I die and have no ship?

After the end missions of ME1 and ME2 it made sense that you could still fly around the galaxy and complete leftover side quests. You hadn't died and still had a ship.

I guess I can't really blame Hudson for wanting a kid's dream to come true. Too bad it pissed so many people off.
