he's not that important because face it, we already know all the vital info on the reapers (minus how to kill them of course) anything he says may give us small insight into the protheans but they do not really matter either. why because they're dead. you could replace the word prothean with asari and nothing would change. we place importance in the protheans because we've been told they are important.

I said many times as I'm not against DLC.
But DLC on release day is a slap in my face because it shows the content is already in disk or should have been.

[Mr. Gogeta34]

No DLC is important to the story.

[Doug M]

I'm curious how this DLC was developed. Was it originally in the game and then pulled out for the express purpose of making it $10 DLC? Or was it something the developers thought of after ME3 was well into production and weren't able to fit the extra content into?

If it was intentionally pulled just to squeeze an extra $10 from customers, then that's not cool. If it was additional content that Bioware thought of afterwards, and were able to finish it up in time to be released on Day 1, then that's understandable.

I haven't read the leaked script or anything. Just wondering about the process this all went through.

[Raizo]

It wouldn't make any sense for Bioware to make an 'optional extra' character essential to the story. It's the fundamental problem with a paid a dlc character, not everyone will shell out the money to gain access to him and his mission ( although I'm sure that a significant potion of the ME community will just for the novelty value ).

EA always does a bang up job of exploiting and screwing over biowares loyal fans, i love mass effect and i cant wait for the 3rd one but its just completely unacceptable and wrong with what there doing with day one dlc which is obviously a crucial part of the game.

[gh0st wh1sp3r]

We only know that a Prothean will be in the game, and already people are complaining about it.

The story rewrites itself based on your previous actions (or lack of) in the games. Who's to say that the story won't go in a slightly different direction based on the Prothean being in your game or not? Jeez. Calm down people.

What the real issue is about is money. I've been throwing it at my screen...and nothing is happening! I thought they liked money!

Oh my god. Rant against DLC ,but this character is obviously not crucial or would not be DLC.

[Elvis_Mazur]

Nope. He is simply a cheap and unfair way of getting more money from the costumers via the use of emotion.

He's a Prothean. It would be like trying to charge £10 for the only Jedi in a SW game.

Finally, someone gets it. However, there is nothing unfair about it. Sure it is disapointing ,but then again most people on BSN are disapointing. It is cheap however.

[Blooddsshott]

It really doesnt matter if the prothean does nothing to affect the story. EA is smart and they know peoples interest in the protheans so they know that people will pay extra money for content they really shouldnt need to pay for. end note, i just wish big companys werent so damn greedy and sadly that will never be the case

Wrong. That would be like buying Shepard as DLC and have you ever played SW Battlefront 1, or Republic Commando, or Bounty Hunter. No jedi. They are not that important either. A good analogy would be buying a H.A.W.X. game with no planes without DLC.

[Takamori The Templar]

All right lets put in this way.
The race was wiped from the face of the galaxy,the beacon of this extinct race helped Shepard to give the story arc.(No sodding prothean beacon, no way that Shepard would know)
And now they put as a character and cut from it.

How the sodding way , he is not important, stop lying to yourself, don't come with Zaeed bull****.Blue suns IMO was important too.

[majorfalcon00]

I don't understand....this act would NOT bring in new customers. All it accomplishes for BW is pushing away potential customers (myself included) and milking more $ out of present customers.

That is the fact of the matter. There is no positive with this move. Its shady, and I'm sad to see BW go down as another blacklist dev like Capcom and Ubisoft.

Agreed, except corporations will stop being greedy when people stop being greedy. Don't put us on some pedestal. The DLC and other such rants are also because of our greediness aswell. It is just how e work.

I bought the collector's edition just so I could have a pet robot dog, and now I also get a pet prothean from it?



Bioware doesnt owe me anything. I dont buy the games as a favor to them, I buy the games because I enjoy them.

[AnAngryFetus]

OK, for the defenders here: Kasumi seemed more like an after thought. Like "Hey, what if we had a character like this?" They made her after release and they charged $10 for it. That's fine by me. The problem is that we have a situation where it sounds exactly like Zaeed, except instead of giving him for free as a thank you for buying a new copy instead of a used copy, he is now $10 automatically. Zaeed is now $10. Legion is now $10. It's like that. If bioware and EA provided him in the same way as Zaeed, I would be all right with this.

No it doesnt learn more about game production and how it works

First off we know next to nothing what the dlc is going to be like (besides recruiting Mr.Prothy as an end result) so saying it is disapointing without any idea of the content is dumb.

Kasumi was not made after release she was completed after release the character already had files on the main disc.

No, I think it is disapointing that the DLC is not free for new copy purchasers.

Cutting something like this from the game is literally stabbing those less-than-fortunate gamer's in the heart and telling them to bleed out,

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.

What dictionary are you using? Because it's wrong. The defniton you wrote defies the reason for having defintions. You basically just said that the word is not used for the purpose of the word. Literally can be used as an intensifier "He dropped dead literally 5 feet from me" which may be a little off the mark, but using literally for hyperbole purposes it beyond absurd.



ANYWAY: I fail to see why the DLC character being a prothean is that big a deal. They fought, they died, and the were enslaved. This squad mate can not possibly know anything new that the scientist who survived stasis couldn't put in vigil. At best he might give us some insight into their culture, but he'd have to be damn old for that. At which case he probably couldn't be traipsing 'round the galaxy fighting a war. Most likely he was born during the centuries that his race was being wiped out and is some sort of gueirrilla warfare operative.

Sure, he's a prothean, that's awesome I guess, but aside from just being really old, or really angry, I highly doubt he'll be able to provide any real info.

Ok, completed.  But the point still stands that she was NOT FINISHED on launch day and this guy is CLEARLY FINISHED.

My point exactly. People are confusing plot relevance with fan relevance.
