Why does everyone have to be a squadmate anyway? You could be allies with a Prothean that helps you with something other than blowing up enemies. I don't like the idea of a Prothean "squadmate", but I do like the idea of a Prothean ally of some other sort.

[Darth-Fluffy]

A prothean would just be all wrong.

[Khayness]

Quite possibly the most original idea.

[Madman17]

This is random as hell but i just cam up with it and it sounds awsome in my mind. Shepards on a mission to find out stuff about how the reapers exterminated the protheans. He ends up in a prothean ruin where he finds a terminal thing. On the terminal is a prothean leaving records of what is happeningto help people in the future stop the same thing happening again. As soo as you interact with the terminal cut scene comes up and you basically see whats happening maybe as theprothean narrates it. The terminals would be scattered about the "level" so the prothean would kind of seem like a squad mate but also stay within the lore. Abit off topic but thought of it and thought id share :S

Didn't Vigil say that roughly a dozen or so of the top Prothean scientists surived the cryofreeze and these are the ones that built the Conduit and placed the secret relay on the Citadel and the beacons, etc?



I remember he said it was far too few to sustain a viable population but I don't think it was ever explicitly stated how/when they died, or even when they set the whole Conduit/backdoor plan into motion.



It seems to me that it would be possible that they have survived as a small clan, if they bred carefully. Does anyone know their general lifespan? If they live as long as Asari, it is not COMPLETELY far fetched.



Also some of the Prothean activity you uncover (the monitoring device from Earth found on Eletania in ME1 and there's also a planet in ME2... uh, somewhere... that had a spacefaring primate race that was wiped out by orbital laser but they had been monitored by the Protheans or something, gah, can't remember) that suggests Prothean activity from AFTER the last Reaper cycle, not before.

That would be pretty damn epic. Prothean squadmate ftw.



They could always come up with a way we come across one.

Lets see, its BioWare we are talking about ... a dashing Prothean assassin (BioWare loves assassins, almost as much as Ubisoft) was sentenced by evil prothean overlords and placed into cryogenic sleep to be send to remote prison planet to spend the rest of his life in sugar mines. During the Reaper attack (there has to be some Reaper connection - maybe he was sentenced, when the attack already started, since the proud Prothean underestimated the enemy - like the council wink, wink), the ship transporting him was damaged and crash landed on a frozen world. The crew died and while the systems failed, the low temperature kept him frozen. Until someone bad finds him (it has to be someone bad - things can never be too easy and players need some reason to shoot stuff). Shepard saves him and revives him (of course this happens in the bad guy infested facility, which lets the Prothean show his assassin skills in a cool animation he wont be able to do during the gameplay). Now, he may be assassin, but he is actually a nice guy (see where this is going). He is lonely and sad, because everyone he knew died 50 000 years ago (oh, such tragic character). Of course he gets really close to femshep.

Bit of product placement never hurt.

In Mass Effect, we thought the Protheans were extinct.



In Mass Effect 2, we learned the Protheans become slaves as they had been remodified genetically by the Reapers. This answers Saren's inquiry about submission, and extinction actually being preferable to slavery.



A Prothean squadmate would eliminate that intracacy, and the emotion of witnessing the downfall, enslavery and end to the Protheans.

[BattleRaptor]

Vigal doesnt say its not possible any other Protheans survived, INFACT they sent the becon signal out that lead you to vigal in the HOPES that they did.
They never got a reply to there transmission.. that doesnt mean there isnt another world where some are still in cryogenic statis.

That Said.. I think it would be much more awesome if you went back and got Vigal Working again.. and Vigal melded with EDI to create a Prothean like Ship AI.
You could talk to it and learn about the Prothean Civilization.

Lots of people liked edi.. while I found her kind of soulless... ohh there were funny bits
"I enjoy seeing humans on there knees......that was a joke"
She wasnt really alive for me...

Prothean Ai you talk to it even get a mission like.

"While I am not really alive, I am for all purposes the last Prothean, I would if it still exists like to return to the Prothean Homeworld.. and Erect some kind of Monument to morn the passing of my people."

Meet a Prothean, not as a squadmate.

[thachugabug]

Does anybody know what a prothean looks like? For some reason, I always pictured a mon calamari from star wars, don't ask why.

[supakillaii]

Nope.

[Lord Zeuss]

THE most epic idea for a new squadmate is unquestionably Conrad Verner. 'Nuff said.

[Ertai]

what about a rachni squadmates? Or not a squadmate.. a bunch of those wobbling around in the ship and females (and males) freaking out in a funny way. + Mordin would be their favourite guy who has some of those for pets + feeds them with different kinds of medications. and and.. and..

[Ertai]

... why not`?

Hanar. They can hold, like, eight guns at once.

[TheJiveDJ]

If BioWare could pull this off properly i think it would be pretty cool.

[CommanderWolfy12]

Hanar? If you want a squadmate that turns into puddding at the first shot... well.


Wait a moment.
Aren't we getting off topic here?

[Severyx]

This sort of idea is well discussed. I think the general idea was that it would be destructively inconsistent to have a living prothean, let alone one as a squadmate. They served their plot device purpose, let's move on.

[BiancoAngelo7]

Oh, well I didn't know it had already been discussed before. But even though weve been exposed to prothean elements such as statues and the collectors, relics, etc then I don't think it would be completely undoable for Bioware to introduce a Prothean in a cool way, even if its not a squadmate.

ah yeah, I guess I kinda forgot about the whole "making sense with the story" thing and how Vigil says that no protheans were left...but still if they wanted to Im sure they could make it work...

Actually, Vigil never says there were none left, just none left on Ilos.  Remember: the Protheans on Ilos sent out that message in case there were other surviving Protheans out there to give them hope for the future, even though they themselves doubted there were any, "Because they had to try".

Not to say that I would want a Prothean squad member, just pointing out that Vigil never said that they were all dead.

EDIT:  BattleRaptor already beat me to this, serves me right for not reading the whole thread first before opening my big New Post mouth.

A better idea, if Protheans showed up at all in their "real" form, would be something like this: A Prothean ship got caught in the event horizon of a black hole, and as a result the centuries upon centuries has only felt like a few years for them. WHat you do with the Prothean ship as well as the fact that a few of them lose their minds from the fact that their civilization has gone bye-bye?
