I want a Hanar squad mate, a Volus squad mate and an Elcor squad mate. Also, a vorcha, one that is refined and intelligent. I also want a pet varren. I'm actually have serious about some of these, the Hanar one would be interesting. Zaeed talks about how one almost strangled him to death and there is a movie ad on Ilium about there being a former Hanar Spectre.

I wish there would be a case of sole survivor in a stasis pod, just to get a chance to see a cutscene along the lines:



Council: OMG a living prothean!

Prothean: I'm Ksad Ishan b*tches, and have I got a story for you..

(After some hardcore evidence about the Reapers is presented from his portable Vigil)

Council: We have been so blind, you were right all along Shepard!



Interrupts after this:

Paragon: Slap the turian like he deserves it

Renegade:"Try to quotate this with broken fingers"

Neutral: "I have to go"

[Aleksandar Shepard]

I doubt there is any Prothean alive. i think Reapers are very good in their job...But yet again they did missed life pods on Ilos.Maybe Prothean squad memeber is not such a bad idea, but they should add him at near end like Legion.Something like he appears and gives Shepard final information, final piece of puzzle how to defeat Reapers...



Anyway, I think ME3 will be dealing more with Shepard trying to persuade leaders of each race to join him in reaper fight, rather than constant recruiting.



However, I heard rumor about squad member with Spectre status.I think that's splendid cause finally we can see more of how members of Special Tactics and Reconnaissance operates. Plus i think there will be some sort of rivality between new Spectre and Shepard.That will be interesting.

After reading through this thread, I think that it would be an interesting plot twist if we indeed find an actual living Prothean. It would be interesting to learn and interact with the last member of a dead species. If anything, I can see this character being almost like Guinan from Star Trek: TNG (in the matter of how her species is nearly extinct).

[Destroy Raiden_]

Yeah finding a stasis Prothean would go something like this:





Garrus: Shepard we have a working pod here.



Shepard opens up pod.



Prothean: Ah! I'm alive ( takes deep breathe) Oh Ah! * Chokes and dies*



Shepard: Ok....we had a Prothean.



Zeed: Right, let's haul its ass back to the council before it starts to stink.

The one ULTIMATE Teammate that we should get in Mass Effect 3.

I'd rather have a Collector who survived and is now free of Harbinger's control as a squadmate. Perhaps one who was once a leader of the Protheans.

[rogermacarios]

Imagine in a early teaser for ME3, a stasis pod suddenly opening in a secret place in the CITADEL, showing only a silhouette of what appears to be a Prothean. He could be the sole survivor of the group that went to the Citadel through the Conduit.



They could have built a single capsule capable of withstanding the 50,000 years until the new attack of the Reapers, and then wake him up. The Citadel has the power to feed the pod. The prothean could be a Sentinel or Engineer chose from the group to try to stop the cicle 50,000 years in their future.

[s0meguy6665]

SERIOUSLY????? A PROTHEAN LI?

[Warikz]

No Protheans please. All this sole survivor stuff is overused in media as it is. The Protheans had their last stand, they're done. By having a living breathing Prothean Bioware would be reducing the effect that the last stand and the genetic repurposing had. The Protheans end was a sad one, and to have some living guy come in going yeehaw! fighting alongside you and blowing up everything would be so lame i'd probably exit the game right there and then.

More hidden Prothean technology would be good, but I don't want an actual living Prothean. A Hidden data cache buried deep within thew Citadels systems with all the data the Protheans managed to collect on the Reapers, any successes they might have had etc that had been left by those who introduced the code to the Keepers would be nice.

Dont we get to see Protheans in ME2 known by another name, they dont look very Cthuhlulic at all...

50,000 years in a pod might be stretching things a bit though

[deleted]

How ridiculous would it be to find a 50,000 year old functional stasis pod, when Vigil wasn't able to make life support last for more than a few centuries?



And then humping the creature inside at the first opportunity?

[Destroy Raiden_]

Ya'know Blasto would make a better squad mate if nothing else he's entertaining. Maybe if Grunt leaves Blasto can join his 6 guns should fill that void nicely but then Shep would have LI competition....

[Jarek_Cousland]

I imagine at some point in ME3 we will meet a living Prothean.





And then it will die. My prediction of the Final-Final boss will be a reaper planet, in which we travel to the center of it and fight it at the source seeing just how much the Reapers blur the line between Organic and Synthetic and getting our minds blown like the Reapers say we will.





Cause honestly the whole "IMMA REAPER IMMA POSSES U!!!!11111" final bosses are getting lame.

[jetwolfprime]

It would seem clarification is in order.

My original interest in posting this topic was to see peoples thoughts and reactions to a possible squad mate/romance option with a race that I find very compelling in the Mass Effect universe. Now, I acknowledge that the physical features of the race, according to what has been posted here, make this seem like a somewhat impossible proposal; however, I truly wasn't aware that the Protheans were in fact 'squid faces' and the statues on Ilos alwas seemed more like abstract art, bodies melting into the form etc, so I never took these to be concrete examples of how the race might be portrayed.

The romance options in the Mass Effect games always seem like an opportunity to understand a character you might find intriguing a bit further. The 2 minute long pg-13 love scenes are really nothing more than an expected response by most, to what should occur in a romance between to consenting beings (in the case of ME), these scenes aren't that pivotal and receive far too much attention in both media and fan base it would seem.

Lastly, the idea of suggesting a Prothean squad mate simply so my character could 'bang it', rather than form a deeper relationship with him/her does make the idea seem silly and was never the intent of the post.

Well, you are going to be sad to find that protheans are not entirely wiped out, just incredibly.... illusive....

LI ? ew

[Stoko981]

I think having a Prothean squad mate could be pretty awesome, if done right, but honestly, making it an LI too would just be too much.

I like the idea that it could be one of Ilos's scientists, squirelled away on the Citadel. I mean, they were able to reprogram the Keepers to ignore the Reaper's signal, it seems logical to me they could've reprogrammed them to maintain a stasis pod. Just enough to say "hey, this is important, this is part of the Citadel core systems, keep it going", and they would. I mean, no one's ever asked what the Citadel is powered by, whatever it is, it's clearly been running for millions of years.

Or else heck, it could've been on any other Prothean world. If the details of the Prothean presence in the Pangaea Expanse were erased from Citadel records during the intial Reaper attack, another system's records could've been erased the same way. It could even be a system no race has ever explored this cycle, I mean, it's implied there are many relays that no species has ever activated, after the whole Rachni mess, yet it's stated the Prothean Empire covered every relay in the galaxy.

And sure, Vigil struggled to keep power for all those stasis pods for just a few centuries, but, he was starting with thousands and thousands of pods. Slowly, over time, he had to cut power to some, then more, then more, until it was finally whittled down to 12. But who's to say he couldn't have kept a single pod going longer, much longer, if that was all he'd had to begin with? And yes, he said there were no other Protheans, but he only said "that he knew of". They even sent out the warning about the Reapers across the beacon network, not for future races, but for any potential surviving Protheans they hadn't heard from.

I also think it'd be a great thing to learn what the Protheans were really like. I mean, we don't know much about them, other than talking to Vigil, all we have is stuff the Reapers strategically left behind for us to find. They're made out to be this pacifistic race of beings with a thirst for knowledge. Like librarian monks. But maybe that's just the image the Reapers wanted to portray? For all we know, the Prothean we could find could be a kick ass warrior (as cliched as that might be).

Final thought - I saw a few people say "who would put the last surviving member of a race like the Protheans on such a dangerous mission as Shepard's quest to destroy the Reapers?" Well, two things. One, if that mission fails, everyone in the galaxy dies, whether they were on the mission or not. Two, the Reapers wiped out his entire civilisation, and Shepard is the one fighting back. What kind of spineless squidface would say "nah, you guys go ahead, I'm just going to try to get my old quarters back on the Citadel"?

[HalfTangible]

What about a capsule containing a prothean AI? Not a VI like Vigil, a true AI, similar to the geth or you-know-who. It's not quite as ridiculous, as an AI would be able to survive in a dormant state until activated as long as it had power. (This goes under the assumption that Vigil's data corruption was environmental in nature)

How about a few Reapers decided to help Shepard? Sounds ridiculous but possible. Imagine a scene where Shepard inside a Reaper re-program them? Or some Reapers decided to ditch Harbinger?:innocent:

Why do people want to **** everything in Bioware games.

[Elite Midget]

They wanted to **** Tali and Garrus in ME1. Now they can in ME2.



Expect a Prothean LI in ME3!

Now this creeps me out a bit. Garrus wasn't much of a character in ME1, he pretty much joined you because he was bored. And Tali seemed like a child in ME1. Garrus is pretty cool guy despite being an alien with razor sharp talons and armored plates. But Tali? Well *post Shepard rape face here*

[Skilled Seeker]

I'd rather have a Grunt romance over a Prothean one. Or even better make Zaeed and Kasumi romanceable! They are the hottest non romanceable squadmates.

You weren't on the old boards? There were so many threads and complaints over the fact that you couldn't Romance and do the deed with Tali and Garrus for ME1. The threads surged tenfold when ME2 was announced.
