In the spec ops trailer you can catch a glimpse of Prothy and he's wearing the same armor as the leak. Plus the collectors were repurposed protheans so you'd think they would look like them.TCBC_Freak wrote...

Right because those pics from mounths ago can't be wrong or have changed, I've seen some of those two, and like three of them are diffrent to more than a few degrees... we KNOW nothing until the game comes out..... I remember a "leak" from ME2 were Jack had hair... so there you go
They were leaked like 2 weeks ago. And you really think they will completely change the look of the species this close to launch? LOL.
You can see a slip of the character in question in the newest trailer recently released.
The Leak was "found' two weeks ago, but the stuff in it could have been much older. You don't work for Bioware, you have no idea when those things were leaked and how long they flowted around before being put out. I'm just trying to be objective here, and yes, I seem to recall a game company cutting hours of content and a whole city and story line a mounth before it was released. It was a game called Fable.
What did the Protheans look like?

Spoiler alert.
Not Ilos statues.
They are species 1 cycle before Protheans.

I wasn't trying to argue, and I'm sorry, I let my emotions get the better of me. But my point in my first post on this topic was valid anyway, even if it was fully known what they looked like, my larger goal was to reason the difference between ME1 statues and ME2 Collectors. I think any reasonable person can acknowledged I had a point about this.
And a partial view in a MP trailer of something that might be him isn't hard core confirmation. By the way. I think that what Prothy looks like is set and we know, I'm just trying to be objective and honest. I've seen stranger things then a game company doing a last minute re-haul over a leak.

That particular spoiler wasn't in the trailer, proof that Prothean exists was in multiplayer trailer. And it looks like a collector, but a little less brown and a little more blue.

They looked similar to Collectors - those statues on Ilos were either of another species in the Prothean Empire, or were from an earlier cycle.

That isn't what the other guy said though, though you claimed it was.

Dude, you wouldn't even know that's Prothean in Co-Op trailer if you didn't see Concept Art.
Some people even though that's Samara.
So it's still a spoiler.

If the simple explanation works then why can't we all just go along with it? I'll accept the theory of the Protheans been a galactic empire rather than a species of alien, at least until proven otherwise.

Pretty much you'll just accept whatever Bioware throws at you.
Don't you have any standards?

I rejected DAII and was one of the minority who thought that KotOR was a bad adaption of Baldurs Gate in the Starwars setting. Most liked Carth, Bastila and Mission, and I considered them to be extremely bad. They were just like BGII characters with the annoying whining factor dialed up to full volume.

do you even pay attention? because liara stated in me1 that the protheans are NOT the first species. i know the spoilers regarding the statues from me3 and trust me it sounds pretty awesome and explains what vigil says at the end of me1

Its only a retcon it there was an actual reveal and confirmation of how protheans looked in me1, which there wasnt you just assumed they looked like the statues on Ilos and you were proven wrong in that assumption. Just because a statue looks that way doesnt mean those who made it would look like it (assuming it was even the prothean the actual sculptors).
We humans make statues of lions, gargoyles and others with exagerated human proportions (the very first ones we made were like this) and often replaced limbs I dont see how it would be different for other races to also make sculptures that dont look like themselves.

Lol I've never thought of that. What if some future alien race found a bunch of gargoyles and thought that's what we looked like.

I am reluctant to post in this thread...
But again, i do not understand why people who refuse to criticise Bioware make up these excuses and repost them as if they're Canon?
Yes, i've seen the leaked pictures.
No, bioware have not offered an explanation like the one you posted.
If you wanted to roll with the leaked appearance sure, what you said is the easiest way to save face, hell i reckon they will roll with something like that. But it feels no-less like an excuse for altering the previous Canon.

It's not important. Actually, it's kind of refreshing and contrary to my expectations to make the ancient Mary Sue race to look all sexy and majestic. Isn't that a fairly typical ancient civilization species design aesthetic for most modern sci-fi? I think making them look bug like and unattractive is much more original.

If the squid like aliens were a previous cycle, how do you explain the fact they are present in the ME-1 prothean beacon and not the bug-like protean?

There has been some retconning.
Prior to Mass Effect 3 the Protheans looked like the vaguely squid-faced beings portrayed on the Ilos statues and in all of Shepard's visions.
LO! Thar be spoilers yonder..........
As of Mass Effect 3, with the the announced Prothean squadmate, their appearance has been altered to look more like the Collectors, though less insectoid. The face tentacles are gone.
This is one decision that I think Bioware got wrong. First, I think it is a mistake to bring back the Protheans. Like the Dwemer of Elder Scrolls, Bioware should have kept them dead. Second, once the decision was locked in that there would be a Prothean squaddie, they should have created a character that resembled the Ilos statues and the Prothean visions more closely. With the retconned appearance the statues and beings in the visions now make as much sense as Mass Effect: Deception.
Preorder cancelled.
Just kidding. But I think Bioware fumbled the ball here.
