No. I like the current line up of squad mates. I think a long lost Prothean would somewhat lessen the terror of the civilization destroying reapers. "Look one dude survived from the last time. Those reapers are pretty sloppy."

Maybe add a couple more squadies to the mix...maybe, but I think we've invested a lot in team building on an individual scale in the first two games already. My distinct impression is that we're going to be alliance making on a large scale in order to fight the reapers in ME3. I would like to see a limited squad mate size but drawing from a pool of prior squad mates from ME1 and 2, having to choose one from the other. Kind of like, "you can't take everyone so choose wisely."

I've thought of this before. I think it would be epic to see a Prothean in Shepard's squad, but storywise it's a bit silly. If they found some way to write it into ME3 that made sense i'd support it. Or like I've said before.. Make Mass Effect 4 where you actually are a Prothean right before The Reapers kill them all.

Did you not play the games? The Protheans are gone. The collectors may have originally been Prothean, but its stated in the game that they have been changed so much as to be something else entirely different.

As for a Collector teammate. Sure, take that guy on a mission. He'll be badass. Blasting baddies over your shoulder and raining pwnage left and right. Right up until the point you hear "Assuming direct control". Yeah, your day just went to crap.

Did you not read my posts? A few others and I explained the possibility of a Prothean return.

I still have that picture in my head of Prothean squadmate and reason why is he still alive.

[CmdrKankrelat]

I'll embrace it wholeheartedly if they do it, even though I don't expect it. One thing I've noticed about those Protheans though, suggested by their statues - those guys are TALL! Not to mention lanky. If we have one of these cthulhumanoids on our team, he's going to jogging ahead of the rest of us by leaps and bounds, and having him try to fit into the ship would be hilarious - he/she/it would have to duck while moving and sit down at all other times. It could be really interesting and nothing would be lost, only gained, by having a Prothean teammate. Plus, even if half of us don't want to see it, BioWare is a master of character development - we'd enjoy him/her/it, even if we didn't think it fits the story. Plus, imagine taking this guy on the Citadel!

Ha-Ha-Ha... No.

I have enough squadmates, thank you. I don't need an asspull coming out of nowhere and joining my squad.

I'd rather have a batarian than the massive asspull it would require to have a prothean join my squad.

Same here.

Loved to have Prothean but Batarian and Female Turian are priority on my list.

[SalsaDMA]

Sure.. At least one member of each race. So you can add a Rachnii warrior, Hanar Spectre, Elcor Msucleman, Volus technician, Thorian Husk creeper, reprogrammed reaper husk and artificially enhanced Pyjak to the list.

Should make for an interesting cast...

Edit: Almost forgot the last one: the mabari varren

Nah its to easy to screw up, I think the storywriters only ever wanted them as part of the story not an actual squad mate

It is indeed very easy to screw up, but people don't seem to have enough faith in Bioware. IMO it would not be an asspull, cause as I said, it can be explained rationally, and integrated organically into the story, additionally because the cipher and beacon info serve no purpose now, and its just hanging Shep's head.

EDIT: Additionally, I recall people saying that having a geth party member would also require a gigantic asspull, and look what happened.

There are a couple of planets in ME1 that might suggest protheans in hiding. Both gas giants I believe. Can't remember their names off the top of my head, but they both had solid objects within them that were inacessible with the technology available to the current galactic community.

I'm pretty sure we were led to believe that those solid objects were reapers but I could be wrong.  My mind instantly went to reaper when I read those planet descriptions...not protheans in hiding.

@massively accelerated

That does't make any sense. If they were reapers then there would be no need for the whole citadel relay-the reapers are in dark space thing, i.e. the story.

It does make sense.  Did you play ME2?  I don't want to reveal any spoilers here but do you recall the Reaper IFF mission?  What is to suggest that some of the reapers didn't become disabled or died during their last assault on the galaxy and fell into a couple of gas giants?!?  Furthermore, what is to suggest that maybe all of the reapers didn't return to dark space and that a few remained behind in hiding to monitor the state of civilization or perhaps in hibernation until it is time to launch their attack?

[Cancer Puppet]

The particular vessel you are talking about was in orbit of the gas giant, and once it was pulled further toward the planet it was crushed. Furthermore, your theory makes sovereign completely superfluous and redundant.

[Dominus]

This again? Sorry, but no.

[Labrev]

Prothean companion? No.

But, it would be pretty cool if Shepard finds some kind of thing that gives him a vision of what the real protheans looked like.

It actually makes a lot more sense for those to be Reapers than Protheans.

[KujiMuji]

I can agree to some how, some way being able to see what the Protheans looked like, I can let that slide, because many are interested. But having a Prothean as a squad mate or companion, or being able to actually interact with a living, breathing Prothean, is a bit of a stretch for me.

No gravity well inside a Black Hole, no Dyson Spheres, no "cryogenic stasis" that survived for 50,000 years and outlasted the ones in Ilos will convince me otherwise.

Thank you.  Apparently Cancer Puppet thinks Prothean creations are more durable within the crushing atmosphere of a gas giant than the freaking things that destroyed or enslaved them all 50,000 years prior.  At least he can stick to his guns...I commend him for that at least.

if a prothean magically survived....

it would be dead....

no life form in the ME universe can live over 50,000 years...

plus if it was cyrogenically frozen it would probably go on a rampage thinking everyone is working with the destructive reapers and go kamikaze...

I agree 100%

[DadeLeviathan]

Wow. This thread again? The protheans are dead and/or now freaky bug things. So no. No prothean squad mate.
