I'm not particularly talking about mass relays etc, more about the impact of the protheans in galactic society, but you can't argue against Mars and Crucible.

I'm tired and just being foolish really.
I haven't really spoiled "crucible" for myself yet, but I've been assuming that it's the deus ex machina that will be instrumental in defeating the reapers.
I haven't spoiled too much of ME3 for myself yet, other than Prothean. Rather than being upset about it, I was just greatly overjoyed.

Plot device.

It's a damn plot device, not a goddamn deus ex machina.

I haven't spoiled anything but the prothean for myself either, I just know of crucible, I don't know what it does but I assume things.

No, plot device and deus ex machina are completely different things.

It's more like apple and orange.

If Zeus descends from heaven to personally kill the Reapers and you had no idea that Zeus was even part of this universe, then you can talk about a deus ex machina. I don't know much about the Crucible myself but if it's like the Conduit and announced fairly early in te plot it can't possible be considered a deus ex machina.

Let's go back to talking Prothy.
So, Prothy, he's gonna get the ladies.

That doesn't stop the mindless sheep from repeatedly misusing the term, however.

Sadly semantics are changed by successive generations, and some tools now believe that an "asspull" automatically means a Deus Ex Machina no matter how gradually the item is pulled from said ass.

You know that one salarian that goes, "amazing what they can do with genetic modification" reminds of that one salarian off the citadel running that one shop across from the Sirta Foundation shop.

Speaking of badass, is it me or does he sound exactly like Mr. Eko? If this is the case, he needs a Jesus Stick!

I love Mordin's reaction. "Ah. Excellent."

He is wise in the ways of Shepard. Don't ask where she gets these things; just accept it and move along. (And ROFL at Prothy's reaction: "His speech is strange.")

Also, is it just me, or is Prothy just too damn quotable? "My kind was arrogant once. It's not strategy--it's stupidity."

It's not just you. Jesus Christ, it's not just you.

You're not the only one, someone thinks it's Phil LaMarr, but given the fact that BW likes to cast people who have been in genre franchises and Triple A (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's nickname) is based in LA....

As someone who spent their childhood listening to Phil Lamaar, I can tell you that is definitely not him. If it's not Triple A, then its an actor that is unknown to me.

Also what makes prothy so quoteable is his voice. It makes it sound like everything he's saying is important.
