No, but silly assumptions are not the same as logical assumptions. A logical assumption is that if only one member of species as advanced as the Protheans be saved, said member would have some kind of skill or knowledge to justify the effort.

A silly assumption would be that such effort would be squandered on someone by accident, or done for the lolz - at least in so far as assuming they'd bother making a DLC out of such a potential situation.

Would you really like to know, Bane?

I'd rather not, thanks - not until I've had a chance to play it

One would assume a prothean that was placed into such advanced Stasis that he lasted 50,000 years would have some kind of knowledge that would justify such an undertaking.

That's a possibility. But i wouldn't equate being a valuable expert in some field with being valuable expert in everything, and so it's easily possible the person in question has knowledge which isn't really helpful. Or happens to be prothean version of Udina, preserved out of political clout rather than actual merit. Or turns out to be janitor who tripped into the fridge without anyone knowing. Or similarly unqualified person saved this way by their spouse, etc. tldr: assumptions are just that, assumptions.

Well... dude... if that prothean is a cleaner of the Ilos aquaducts, then From Dust is a bloody joke.

I would buy it, epic underdog story.

[GamerFreak 259]

has bioware confirmed that the prothean is DLC, cause i haven't heard anything about it

No one is entitled to this character. Buy it or don't buy it but don't claim that a company selling a product for what it feels it's worth is unfair.

I don't think thats why some people are upset I think its because they feel that they are missing out on a major part of the main story in the game by not buying the DLC, so basically they feel like their buying a incomplete product if they get the standard edition of the game.

EDIT: I guess it would kind of be like buying golden eye but having to pay extra to play as James Bond which would kind of suck because hes the most important character. Protheans are James Bond

For me it's the "living prothean" bit.

I would NOT have had the same response if this was some other character.

Unless that character was something just as ridiculous.

Do we even know if he is integral to the story?

If he's not then the point is moot.

If he is then releasing him seperately certainly seems unethical but the developer still has that right.

But doesn't that all base on assumption that only one prothean could've been saved (and hence drastic selection) when it could very well be one 'random' survivor out of who knows how many millions initially put in stasis?

Same here - I've wanted to encounter a living Prothean since ME1. Along with seeing Mars.

If this whole thing wasn't a DLC, I wouldn't even be here discussing this.

I agree they definitly have the right if they wanted they could not even include a ending to the game and release it as DLC lol.

*scratches head*

Where has the assumption that milions were put into stasis come from? On Ilos, their state of the art research facility only had enough power to put a couple of thousand into stasis for a few centuries, and only 12 survived.

IT'S A ****ING PROTHEAN.

OF COURSE HE'S IMPORTANT TO THE GOD DAMNED STORY.

Prothean test subject that got lost and somehow survived.. .would just be some poor schmuck without much skill... Logic dictates that even if it's a prothean it's not from the prothean time frame and is more likely a vat grown prothean ala Grunt style...

[DrwEddy]

The Prothean squadmate could have important dialouges in story missions. Similar to the one in DA:O when the golem Shale was in one of the dwarf story quest.

[BatmanPWNS]

If only it was a Batarian. I would actually be super excited.

[Stanley Woo]

gameplay and spoilers can be discussed in our Gameplay forum. There should already be discussions on this topic in that forum. Thank you.

End of line.

That would have been cool for a DLC, or at least NOT stupid.

Thats what I'm thinking.

[ref]

I wouldn't of even cared if the character was included in all versions for free, but since it's only CE, it's obvious it's a money grab... some people don't mind and hey, if that makes them happy or doesn't bother them, so be it, but as a consumer I feel this is bad business and I can't support it.
