User blog comment:Ygrain/EDI and the geth: their purpose in the story?/@comment-5274392-20120726043352/@comment-2228120-20120726050756

Well, I don't see this as a failed attempt, for me, it was a very nasty decision, especially when playing as Paragon Shepard. I don't care much for metaphysial concepts, for me, EDI and geth were sentient beings whom I trusted and they trusted me. They showed respect and willingness to learn, to change their stance, which is more than any Reaper can claim. Yet, if sacrificing them is what it takes to stop the Blight - sorry, the Reapers - so be it.
