“<It’s not murder if it’s robots!> -please visit me again! <Everyone I ever known is dead. And their bones are Dust.> -I am very lonely” This was the point I put Failsafe as one of my more favorite AI companions. But to each their own I say

Failsafe is a blatant (female version) rip-off of Ordis in Warframe. The only difference is that she isn't as funny as she is annoying.

Disagree. I find her quite endearing....and one of the most interesting characters in the franchise. You just have to understand that she's a traumatized AI (her crew and all the colonists on board were murdered by the Vex and she couldn't stop it)..... ...and she's suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. IOW, she couldn't cope with the emotional pain and the isolation....so she split herself into essentially two personalitiers. One personality that is her "rational" and "intellectual" functions, but devoid of emotion. So its inappropriately perky and cheerful ("Which one is the evil twin?" [i]"Ghost, If I actually had feelings, they'd be hurt......"[/i]) And another that she pushed all of her emotional functions off onto, and the only way that she can deal with all that pain and loss is to act like this surly, sarcastic teenager. Who is constantly taking jabs, mouthing off, and pretending like she doesn't care about anything, when she really does. What makes her endearing is that its clear that the too-cool-to-care is just a front, and she's willing to say what others are thinking but are too poite to say. "Cayde got caught stealing from the Vex. How come it didn't happen to the Cabal?" "Computing the Cayde unit's similarity to the Cabal at 0.001%..... [i]....and besides, Caye's like... you know......DUMB......"[/i] Then my personal favorites: [i]"Drop them first, cap!!"[/i] and [i] "It's not murder if its robots!!! [/i] What makes Failsafe interesting as a character is that interacting with us is slowly starting to heal her, and the unemotional half of her is starting to find its emotional voice again. Perhaps because we helped her to try to find some closure with what were the ultimate fates of her crew. Then there is the sheer irritation at having to deal with Cayde. His rogue persona has the ability to get under the skin of LOTs of women: [i]"Cayde unit....I hate every one of your programs......"[/i] Reminds of the time when he and Eris were leading us on a strike, and Cayde says "Oh, I'll keep my ear to the ground" for us....and Eris replies, "Yes, and I'll try not to step on his [i]head......"[/i]

I just deleted/restarted one of my characters to get the last 335 item I need so have been playing through the story again and forgot how annoying it is when you first meet her when Cayde is stuck in the loop on Nessus. "Hey kids, do you know what schizophrenia is? ... "

I do like this exchange in the Nessus strike: [quote]Cayde-6, shut your modulator[/quote] [quote]No you shut up[/quote] [quote]Guys, please, they're trying to kill us![/quote]

I'm gonna say it [spoiler]i don't care you broke your elbow[/spoiler]

I reeeeally miss the darker tone D1 had.

Look at it this way, she's an AI to a starship that's now beyond salvageable, watched all of her crew die in the crash or get killed by Vex, and she's been stuck on Nessus alone for the past five centuries or so. Taking all of that into account, I don't mind the quirkiness or the weird voice thing. Hell I've seen much much worse from AIs with screws loose.

Fire is hot ice is cold fish live in water

I used to think this too. And then I met Asher and now I think Failsafe is ok...

We'll have to agree to disagree. I want her on a gun like in Borderlands.

It seems that the voice acting was targeting young kids. Also, failsafe seems like a direct rip off of ordis in warframe except failsafe is a female voice.

It's probably funny if you're under 12 years old. Same with Asher Mir. Voice acting to appeal to little kids.
