Yes, the prothean is important. I can't stress on this issue enough. If you don't think they're important, then you haven't been paying attention to how much the portheans contributed throughout ME.

It's damn near impossible to argue that he isn't important, I mean he's a prothean, the only one too. Will he be as big as James generic soldier guy or the original team? Nope. But, he will be a squad mate, and considering that all but 3 can be dead at the start he will be quite important.

Ahh, no. Its actually pretty easy to see how he is not important. The Protheans failed to stop the reapers. One survivor is not going to make that much of a difference. He IS important to US lore junkies because he is a living and breathing, and unaltered Prothean. Again though "Is he important to the plot?"; all logic and previous games point to no.

Yuuuup. Of course you still have the fan boys who will somehow argue that this isnt actually true. ITS A PROTHEAN JESUS CHRIST!

He's important, but not plot critical. He mostly provides insights on the previous cycle - he has absolutely no knowledge of how to defeat the reapers. As I said, this function was passed off to Liara.

That doesn't mean I agree with the decision, seeing as how I'm against (most DLC) on principle.

In the end, of course, it's still just a game. Vote with your money and calm your ******.

I think a lot of people are expecting Prothy to be like Vigil. A repository of exposition and knowledge.

When he's probably more like Grunt. He has no idea what's going on. Barely even understands what he is.

Have you read the script?

Not quite. He fully understands what's going on and what he and the protheans were all about.

Another guess i might add is if he is as important as everyone says he is than maybe hes in the game regardless if you have the dlc or not, but having the dlc will have him join your squad along with a mission tied to him, similar to how liara was in mass effect 2 and was only a squad mate(temporarly) if you owned The Lair of the shadow broker.

Get the game of the year edition which will inevitably follow. Or wait until the game price drops and buy it cheap. I've done it before, the current fiscal situation of most game retailers is not brilliant so they're eager to off load the game as fast as possible even if it means discounting it heavily within 2/3 weeks after release. I've done it.

Zaeed added backstory about the blue suns... that didn't make him any less of a throw away character, saying that hes a critical component of the story because he adds back story on a race that is only marginally relevant to the overall plot is retarded.

Does he add things? sure are you unable to beat the game or understand the overall arching plot without him? no

This right here.  So far Bioware's trend with DLC team-members is that they provide backstory, but NOTHING that prevents an overall understanding of the plot or inhibits the plot.

There is NO reason to assume the Prothean won't be the same thing.

Yeah done it with Dragon Age 2, I was like, well I just paid 20 bucks, lets see the DLC's.
50 bucks in dlc: hmmm nvm.

Yes and he does play a significant role in the story. 'Certain people' would not be after him otherwise.

[DaJe]

The protheans have been vital for both Mass Effect games. Ifact the only thing that makes Shepard special, was the prothean beacon(s).

Putting a living prothean into the game and then making it exclusive is already downright rediculous.
Designing that character to not be vital to the plot, so he can be DLC is just as bad. The disregard Bioware have for their own story and lore is mind boggling.

[Clearly Balkan]

Prothean DLC character isn't on disc content so right from the start from my point of view I'm not cheated like I was with Epic GOW3 first "DLC" who was on the disc.

It is 650 MB file to download & if they could put it on two discs well they would surley put it there in the first place.

Either way it's 10 US$ - elementary school kids in UK spend that amout daily on greasy junk food.

I didn't bother with the DA2 DLC, my opinion of the main game was low, so I thought it a waste to spend more money  on it.

[Benirus]

From my point of view I would rather not have the Prothean at all. Sure it's an interesting little bonus (if he stay faaaaaaar away from the main plot and anything that can make a big impact) but I like the protheans like they have been the last 50k years. Dead.

Adding a prothean into the universe then would just ruin some of the mystice and depth of the universe. It's the same reason alot of games doesn't show the main characters face. So you can use your imagination!

Now don't get me wrong about the that previus example, Shepard is my hero, if they stole his face I would make a reaper army.

Sorry about any bad "engrish" =)

Yes exactly. Also the prothean has experience fighting the reapers. He's more important than people give him credit for.

Wrong. What makes Shepard special is that he/she is successful and has fought many foes begat of reapers. Also, I'll post again that Protheans are not that great when it come to the Mass Effect Universe. They FAILED to stop the reapers. While cool in a lore way; they actually were utterly defeated. The only noteworthy thing they accomplished was preventing Sovereign from EASILY opening the  Citadel Relay.

You clearly don`t know what the word literally means.

Wow. Not in the slightest.

 

Maybe you should actually look up the definition of "Literally"  because neither of you actually know what it means.

Here, let me help:
Used to acknowledge that something is not literally true but is used for emphasis or to express strong feeling.

He's a walking, talking, ALIVE, Prothean. He is important whichever way you look at it.

Sadly, I can imagine it is for that reason, he was chosen as the DLC character. They've saved an important character, a holy-****-guys-a-Prothean character and made him DLC. They didn't make him a normal squad member in the full game whilst making a Krogan, or a Batarian the DLC character.
The reason he's a DLC character is because ME fans know the fact that we can play with a Prothean is a big deal, and will be hard to resist, and are going to begrudgingly part with their cash so we don't miss out on this massive implication for the ME universe.

This.
Shame shame.

Story is around Protheans, how they tried to warn the organics beings of imminent doom.

>Prothean Character is not important

Do you know how hypocrite you are being?

I don't think you know what hypocrite means. Also, the whole story is not how the Protheans warned everyone. That was the case for Mass Effect 1. The real story is about Shepard and him or her stopping said reapers.

[Dexi]

It's all marketing, making us want the DLC so bad... lol.

Good move, Bioware, it is dirty, but efficient.

[Davie McG]

I find it baffling that this character is day 1 DLC.

Shepard discovering a living Prothean in Mass Effect 3 would be the equivalent of David Attenborough finding a living dinosaur, it's an enormous revelation.

I think that if they squander such an important character by relegating him to such a diminished role like that of Zaeed in Mass Effect 2 it would be hugely disappointing. If on the other hand he is a character of importance (one would like to think that a Prothean thought of highly enough in his time that the last of his kind went to the trouble of preserving him for fifty millennia would be important) and Bioware/EA have purposely released a game that does not include all the content available at launch to the player that's pertinent to the story of this trilogy (i.e. not counting aesthetic content such as guns or armour) then I think that's exploitative and I'd give serious consideration to buying the game second hand.

Too much of a fan to boycott this game, not to mention a one person boycott would be pointless, but if they are exploiting their customers (even if it is for £10) then I won't be giving them my money.

That's a gross simplification. You might as well say.

Story is about humans, how they tried to fight the Reapers and stop imminent doom.

>human character is not important

Vigil and the beacon warned the next cycle and did that job. The companion is not them.

[eye basher]

So people say his important because he's a prothean so im guessing if he were so other shmoo nodody would give a damm about him?
