It would be very interesting to have a male and female Prothean introduced (as they orginally were) in ME 3 as squad mates and possibly love interests (depending on viability). Perhapes a pair of uncorrupted stasis pods could be found during a mission early on in the game. After all Shepard seems to have the closest relationship at this point to these beings (again, as they were) than any other being in the universe as far as I can tell.

The addition of these characters from a central, yet absent species, that Shepard has learned from, spoken with (their computer intelligences) and on some levels battled with against a common foe would be an excellent feature for the final game in the trilogy in my opinion.

Also as a possible final solution to the Reapers, etiher of these characters could have been a scientist that had devised a theory on how to deal with the threat once and for all, yet didn't have the time or a specific technological component necessary to implement the idea.

I say just one Prothean. The sole survivor of a genocide. That said, the Prothean (with translators available) could be the one defining piece of proof the Council needs to prove that the Reapers exist.

That is an excellent idea! I had never made the connection that the Prothean could help to convince the council to start recognizing the Reaper threat.

That's actually more retarded than asking the same for a Hanar.

Where's the roll eyes...

The Hanar are a largely superfluous race in the ME universe at least in terms of the current conflict inolving Shepard/Reapers and have only become a popular request due to Blasto...a joke; however, the Protheans are an intriguing race and very fitting in terms of the story. mood/setting and current conlflict in the ME universe.

Please, The Turian councilor will dismiss it faster then he dismissed the Reapers.

Reapers = exsistence not verified by the council

Protheans = exsistence verified by council.

Furthermore a Prothean would probably be more than willing to undergo genetic testing to verify his/her identity, a Reaper isn't just going to appear next to the citadel and wait in orbit while everyone runs tests and comes to an agreement about what it might be.

You're underestimating the arrogance of the Turian councilor.

Lmao, Did you actually think I was serious? I mean I threw in the Turian councilor

[FuturePasTimeCE]

why can't we just have a simply platonic gameplay...with no romantic aspects?... none.



why can't mass effect 1 and mass effect 2 all have each NPC as samara (the platonic non-sexual character)...

Or his arrogance is being overestimated. We are talking about technologically advanced civilizations, their willingness to rely on hard evidence and scientific data shouldn't be ignored. Also, the presence of the spectre on the mission to Eden Prime to secure the Prothean Beacon shows that the council is more than aware of and interested in the Proheans. Remember the Mass Relays and the Citadel are believed by the council to have been made by the Protheans.

There were no recorded conversations with Sovereign, or definitive tests done to lead the council to believe that it was anything more than a Geth warship of superior design, that's why the ambasador chooses to turn a blind eye to the humans crying 'the sky is falling'...even though it in fact is.

But if the idea for a Prothean squadmate is that dis-tasteful, how about a helmet with a freaking camera for ME 3?

[HHS_spartan]

Never ever going to happen. It just doesnt make sense and is completely unrealistic. That would be like having a forerunner squad mate in Halo or something.

[AdmiralCheez]

A prothean squadmate would be awesome, and under the right context could totally work. I mean, hey, if whatever stasis pod he happened to be sealed in was going fast enough or was orbiting a large enough body, 50 thousand years would have been just a few centuries for him (relativity, baby!). However, I think that there should be only ONE prothean, since finding a couple would be too much sunshine and rainbows.



I imagine said prothean to be a sort of sentinel-class squadmate, with little offensive capability but a huge asset to squad defense, possibly able to erect a barrier large enough for your team to take cover within, absorbing a certain percent of incoming damage but rendering him unable to attack or use other powers while it is in effect. Also, I think this prothean should NOT be romanceable, since the entire galaxy would be completely alien to him, and smexing is the last thing on his mind.



The biggest issue with him, I feel, would probably be communication. Because Shepard has the cipher, he/she may be the only one who is able to understand his speech. Thus, Shep would have to act as a translator for him.



Of course, it wouldn't be all gloom and doom for this prothean squaddie; he'd be fascinated by everything around him since he'd never encountered it before.

The Forerunners were human. So technically, every Halo game is full of them.

Dude, I didn't know that.  I guess it's my fault, since I never got around to playing Halo 3, but mind = blown.

[wulichisu]

^ One squad mate w/ no LI does seem to be more sensible. Also I like the nod to relativity there, definitely a reasonable way to bring said character into the series. Next to the Reapers I'd have to say the Protheans, in my personal opinion, are the most interesting race and I would love it if they included one as a squad mate.

edit: shield ability upon consideration could be more fun and utilitarian than a mini-rail gun ability.

Hmmm not a big fan of the last surviving member of a species that died out thousands of years ago trope but then I don't think I've ever seen that plot well written. I suppose if it’s done right it could be awesome *shrug*

[Inquisitor Recon]

Now that I was able to suppress the urge to scream NO and break something, let me say no because I think it would be a pointless diversion. And the only real prothean left in the galaxy and Shepard would try to bang it? Really?

[HHS_spartan]

I don't know if I'm the only one here but does anyone really actually think this is even remotely possible? It just seems so far-fetched that bioware would do this. Why would they? They then would have to come up with well what would the prothean look like? All we've seen so far is statues. What would it sound like? How did the capsule keep it alive? They didnt have enough power on illos to keep the ones there alive even shutting them down slowly and from the size of the place they must have had a pretty significant power source.So this pod would have to have a HUGE power source attached to it.



Besides why introduce a prothean in part 3? Finding one still alive after all this time would be a pretty big deal for the entire galaxy. Think of all they could learn from them. That alone is pretty significant to take up quite a bit of time and require a large story.



Why would they send the last surviving member of a long lost race on an incredibly dangerous mission with a good chance of getting him killed? Who says the protheans were even very good or capable fighters in the first place.



Call me pessimistic but i think all of its pretty unlikely to happen it just really makes no sense at all. ME3 is going to be about tying up loose ends and resolving plot lines and fighting the reapers. I really doubt they would create a whole new thread like that in the final part. It might have been a bit more likely for ME2 but in the end I''m saying this ones about as likely to happen as lightsabers in ME3.

Very ironic that the Prophets were waging holy war against a race that turned out to be the divinity that they worshipped.

[Inquisitor Recon]

The Forerunners in Halo were not human. For some reason they chose humanity as their "heirs" (reclaimer) meaning we could use what left behind without trouble. Maybe they shared some resemblance to humans, or maybe they were so short on time they decided "Hey, lets go with that species there."

Commander Shepard will attempt to bang anything that moves, and apparently so will the fanbase.

@HHS_Spartan: Yeah, it seems really unlikely, but this is just fun speculation.  Besides, look at all the impossible stuff that's already happened in the ME universe.

The concept of the LI with a Prothean, as stated if viable, was more about the unique position Shepard finds him/herself in. Despite the fact that many people accompany Shepard in the fight against the Reapers, he/she still remains somewhat alone in the entire affair. Also they (Shepard/Prothean) might share a conncection due to his exposure to the Prothean codex and communication with Sovereign. However, the romance is secondary to my wish to see a possible Prothean squadmate, as I believe it would add depth and understanding to a story pivotal race.

[HHS_spartan]

I would rather bioware concentrate on other things then a prothean squadmate like I said before simply introducing one would take up way to much story.



I dont see how anyone sees it as a viable option or even wants it to be.

[GodWood]

Judging from the beacons protheans look like Cthulhu.

You really want to romance this?
