I want a Prothean squadmate in Mass Effect 3.

Now, this can either be as a Collector who survived your attack and now has regained full control of itself, or an untainted Prothean we discover in a stasis pod.

This squadmate would be the big one no one expected, like Legion. The Prothean would bring revelations and much interest to the game.

It would give us a fresh perspective on the Reapers, and really, since it's very likely Bioware will show the Protheans in Mass Effect 3 anyway, it's a logical decision.

Would anyone else want this?

interesting idea... dont see it happening though

[archurban]

No way. I will go to catch cicada now.

Why the hell not?

A Prothean/Collector squadmate would be a left-field, no-one-sees-it-coming surprise.  I like this idea!

Sadly, I must also believe that it won't happen.  But maybe helping one, or even meeting one? 

Could even involve a re-visit to Ilos, which would also be cool. Revisiting an area or part from a character's past (to see what it's like now that time has pssed) is great in fiction/literature. 

In the end, I remain cautiously optimistic about a Prothean squadmate, and root for getting one!

[ADLegend21]

that'd be a great twist.

Human-Reaper squadmate.



Ascension for squadmate..........oh wait he's dead nvm. xP

[Ervaine]

what next after a prothean (collector) squade mate, a hippie reaper? ../../../images/forum/emoticons/pouty.png

Could be hypothetically possible, but would need another Ilos. So basically you would need another planet that got an early warning and all went underground. This would mean an big underground vault where not all Protheans have died even after thousands of years of being in stasis (energy reserve problem like Ilos).

A collector that got it's sences back is for me basically a no go. EDI mentions in the collector ship when you examine that collector in the collection pod that it is completely reengineered. Even if it's free of the reapers it would likely end up like the keepers in the citadel to my mind as it is suggested a little ingame that they could also have been engineered by the reapers.

Maybe just one survivor and all energy was focused one that stasis so it remained for 50 000 years.

That would be a good example, BUT Bioware needs a really really good reason WHY this perticularly individual was deemed so important as to be chosen to be kept alive above everyone else (the AI on Ilos kept top scientists alive as per his instructions given to him).

Agreed.

Everyone would've seen it coming at some point or another, and while I'm sure BioWare could pull it off pretty well, it would feel 'forced'.



Since I'm pretty sure we're going back to Ilos to invade/sneak into the Citadel somewhere in ME3's endgame, I wouldn't mind Vigil getting a body, though, á la Sarevok. Whether that be Shepard himself or Legion, I don't know. Both would work, I guess: If he gets cozy in Shepard's body/mind, it would provide him with a good chance at redemption for his race (and Shepard has the Cipher). If he lives on through Legion it would also give the geth a new benevolent AI to guide them and provide them with a culture, effectively allowing the Prothean culture to live on.

[Kosh_Naranek]

No. Bringing one back reduces the horror of what happened to them and what you had to do at the end of ME2.

Vigils "dead" already though.

No the hanar would be next, along with the elcor and the volus.

The writers will find away around that, shouldn't be that difficult.

I would love a prothean squadmate for ME3, but he, she, or it should not be a collector but rather an alterd prothean. Would it not be great to defeat the reapers with a member of the few species that out-thought the reapers (even if it was to late to save their civilization.)

[Aulis Vaara]

It would be a bigger twist to discover a new race on the verge of discovering the Mass Relays. A surviving "ancient one" is really a terribly clichéd idea by now.



There could easily be another Prothean ruin near this new species, and that would aid us story-wise. In return for the species' cooperation, we take one of them with us into the galaxy. Something like that.

I want a Harbinger squadmate!

[Eternalist]

A Legion-esque squadmate, the outsider. But to honest, it cost the Ilos Facility a ****load of power to even sustain the last of the staff. In this case, we're asking for a single Prothean to have been sustained for 50,000 years. Unless a freak event that left gaping plotholes and cliché detectors ringing such as one getting frozen in a block of ice occured, there's no way even one can even be considered for a squadmate. Not after vigil's speech told us how the Reapers systematically wiped them out, without error.



Salvaging Prothean technology on the other hand? That's a different matter.

[Mercedes-Benz]

My theory is that there are stasis pods somewhere on the Citadel with those Prothean scientists Vigil mentioned in them, and that Shepard will somehow discover them (or they could awake by themselves, or somebody else could discover them for you), so I would guess the head scientist Ksad Ishan would be your new squadmate.

[Sursion]

And Mass Effect 4 will have a Reaper squad mate!
