Bought the Ultimate Edition from GoG when it was on sale, as I haven’t done any of the DLCs before.
Boone is still my favourite companion, but Veronica is my bruiser. I know ED-E is referred to with he/him pronouns, but I read it as “Edie” not “Eddie” so the eyebot is a honorary girl ✨
Oddly, Mass Effect 3 did this, except theirs was EDI and is pronounced Edie. EDI started as a malevolent AI found on Earth’s moon in the first Mass Effect, only it’s not revealed until late in ME3 that that was EDI. You formally meet EDI in ME2 as the ship’s computer, which the pilot originally hates but then forms a bond with. In ME3, EDI is given a body, and the pilot who once hated her/it develops a romantic relationship with her. It’s a hell of a story.
I may have only played the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time just last year, but I think EDI in ME being pronounced Edie and me always calling ED-E “Eddie” is solidified by them being two completely different characters.
Though I certainly see how ED-E can go the other way, and it’s fine. It’s certainly not a hill I’m going to die on.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
If you see ED as two separate letters, then the Edie pronunciation makes more sense. Ed-E vs E.D.E, I reckon.
