I hate the concept of a prothean squadmate with the fiery passion of a 1000 suns.

Amen to that brother/sister

It just seems such a lame idea to add a prothean who mysteriously survived 50.000 years in stasis. And if that weren't enough, this guy would probably be a major scientist who has a way of stopping the reapers. Yeah right. If this actually is the case, ME3 is going right back into my cupboard, never to be touched again. Unless we can get confirmation on this before release, then I won't even get the game..

If you didn't pre-order DA2, you had to pay extra for Sebastian.

Why do people keep making these wild assumptions? Couldn't you just stop for a second and imagine that the alleged prothean squadmate might be an effort to give us insight into their people and history rather than giving us some deus ex machina-esque device out of nowhere?

What would be the point of adding a Prothean for the sole purpose of learning about their culture? Sure the modern races owe a great debt to the Protheans for giving them a chance against the Reapers, but what is there to gain for learning their culture? They're gone and will never come back. If we get a new squadmember, he/she should be a useful addition to the crew. Since it doesn't look like the Protheans were actual combat experts, the only use this Prothean could have is of a scientific nature. With that in mind, I don't really think this guy would come up with some weird imaginatory device, rather he'd come up with something that can actually stop the reapers, or is the final piece in the puzzle to help stop the reapers...

And this entire prothean squadmate (as well as plenty of other threads on these forums) are based solely on wild assumptions and rumors. I don't see how my post is any different...

Why do we need an explanation of the protheans at all? Vigil was proof that they existed - and proof that they failed to stop the reaper invasion. 

What more do we need to know about them? They gave us, their "successors" a chance to to combat the reapers and avoid the fate thay had suffered at reaper hands - isn't that enough? Do one of their own species need to be alive so badly just to reiterate what Vigil said on Illos?

A prothean squaddie could work if done tastefully and especially if it's an optional dlc like Zaeed so that those who hate the idea and think it would spoil ME1 could just ignore it and everybody else can be happy.

Ever since Ilos I have been wanting to find a working stasis pod with a live prothean and that there was more to the prothean story... image meeting the prothean Shepard of his day... maybe they figured out a way how to defeat the reapers after the battle was already lost that while optional you could use to give you a major boost to the war effort.

Maybe the citadel is powering the last prothean scientists stasis pods in it's core.

I got the feeling that they gonna release a better one. I mean cmon, we are seeing some pretty cool CE for batman, skyrim, etc, ME3 surely deserves a 100$+ version.

Doubtful. But even if that were true there is no risk in pre-ordering. I pre-ordered SWTOR even though I don't plan on playing it. But I'd rather have it and not want it (cancel it before it ships) than want it and not have it (sold out).

I think a Prothean squad-mate would kill a lot of canon and would require a lot of explaining. It would also freak the **** out of everyone too.

Rumor of a never before found prothean ruin under the surface of a planet.

A number of stasis pods in the ruin.

One stasis pod remains active.

Problem solved, doesn't kill canon, easy to explain as far as I'm concerned.

Kind of sounds fan fiction-ey and lazy, tbh. Especially if the Prothean fights alongside Shepard as a perma-squadmate.

No, I'm not just being a *****. What you suggested is facepalm-worthy.

So thousands of protheans in stasis pods powered by a finite power supply that runs out is OK.

But a handful of prothean stasis pods powered by a near infinite supply of power (Citadel) that does not run out is facepalm-worthy?

That's where you draw the line between reasonable and out of this world bat sh*t crazy?

...riiiiight.

A mission called "The Prothean" is just as likely to be the be all and end all of evidence for a prothean squadmate is just as true as hearing of a level called "The Part Where He Kills You" and assuming it is the end of the game.

Did Vigil tell us about their people, culture and history before the invasion? No, it did not. You may not care about such things, but there are those who play these games for their immersive depth and universe, and not just for the basic story. Besides, BioWare could have ended the prothean subplot in ME1, but they didn't.

Fair enough. But there are ways to bring depth to the protheans without having a living, breathing prothean itself standing in front of you - a second Vigil, lost recordings, hell even a new novel/comic.

It's going to be $129.95 here and no they aren't going to release a better one. That's it, the usual rubbish.

Is that a decent price for the N7 edition over in Australia, here in NZ the guestimated price is around $150 - $160 for the pc version

I live in Australia and am importing from the UK, Its goona cost me about $110 Australian, including shipping,  to get it from the UK Game store while getting the same CE from EB Games here is $120. I may only be saving $10 but I flat out refuse to give EB Games money anymore, there nothing but a pack of rip off merchants.

When I'm paying £30 more than you, I expect to get AT LEAST £15 more game free than you.

Thats not entirely accurate, I pre-ordered DA2 and still had to pay extra for Sebastian. I also had to wait four days after it was in stores to get my copy and I also didn't get the bonus sword and shield I was supposed to get for preordering in the first place. Let this be a lesson to anyone in Australia or NZ, DO NOT PREORDER ANYTHING FROM THE JB HIFI WEBSITE.

I think Bioware was just teasing us with the Prothean squad member. They know we all want Niftu Cal, the Biotic God as a squad mate.
