By the logic you describe, you could buy, say, ME 2, where you only get Omega station. The rest of it could be sold separately, and you wouldn't be entitled to it. It's a similar if less extreme case here.

I'd have no problem if the DLC came in a month from now, costing 10 dollars - then there's at least the possibility they actually worked during that month to come up with that content. Releasing it at this price on day one - when it's clear you're simply withholding a small portion of the game just so you can milk the people that want it for a bit more - is to me a poor way of treating your fans. I never bought Warden's Keep for the very same reason.

I'm not arguing against their right to do so - but I do find it to be unpleasant.


The example you give there is a good one. If they released the game on day one with only the first two missions, and everything they said up until the release was that you would be getting the full game, that would be a ripoff. Not only that, it would likely be illegal. That sounds fairly close to false advertising. But that's not what is happening here.

You can call it "witholding" if you want, but that's not how DLC is developed. They clearly planned for this content to be DLC all along. It is additional content for people who want to pay for it. I bought Warden's Keep because I felt it was worth the price. You did not. We both made the correct choice for us.

Oh, I didn't mean false advertising. I just meant that, with the current trend of things, you're likely to see more and more content relegated from what would have - in the past - shipped vanilla, to DLCs which cost extra.

I'm well aware they planned for this content to cost extra. It's available to the people that already paid extra, if not, just pay extra and you get it. What annoys me is exactly that - that they did plan for it exactly like that. They chuck it in with the CE edition - which is all well and good - but added it up as day one DLC. So maybe the people who wouldn't cash the extra 20 before hand might be enticed to cash an extra 10.

Regardless, it's not important. Let's just agree to disagree here.

The Prothean's voice reminds me of Jar Jar Binks . . . I hope Bioware scraps it.

I think I'm looking forward to ME3 now. If Adewale is in, I think the hype may have just hit me. =)

Which is absent from 98% of the discussion of this issue. I've more or less abandoned the general discussion forum because of it.

OP should add a "Not Jamaican" addendum to the title so we can stop getting stupid comments like these.

I honestly don't see why people are hating.
It may not have been what they expected, but damn the voice is awesome.

Have to admit, it was a bit of a surprise when I first heard it. But now I love it. So distinctive.

Plus, it's driving the racist ****wits into a frothing rage, which always fills me with unadulterated joy.

Fun way to look at it. Really brings the idiots to the forefront, doesn't it?

I absolutely love this voice for the character.

Frankly, I had No idea what a Prothean would sound like.

The audio sampling is kinda weird. There are parts where Prothy is yelling and talking fast, but no background to go w/ it. There needs to be explosions and energetic music. Otherwise, it's just yelling.

But when he says "All war has its traitors"...yeah. It fits.

Besides, according to the leaks (or, what I've heard abt. them) Prothy doesn't really like anybody. lol. He thinks all the current species are very much beneath him. And he pretty much takes a swipe at everybody.

He's kind of a jerk, yeah. If you listen to the raw audio files yourself in the correct order, they sound a little bit less jarring. You can also pick out some of the squadmate interactions where your other allies ask him questions, and he gives depressing and pessimistic answers.

I would like to point something out to you all. It is said the the cradle of humankind is said to be in Africa. I would also like to point out the lore says that the Protheans had a hand in the evolution of mankind, as in such would make since that the Prothean would sound African.


This post FTW!


See, now this to me is the bigger picture!  What exactly are they getting at? Well, if anything. Maybe they just chose the voice because when he's speaking normally it's very...authorative; strong; wise...ancient! sounding.

But, that is an interesting idea, imo.

Ummm...I don't think it's hipster knowledge. I think it's firsthand knowledge.
