And your argument fights in the direction disproving of his existence altogether, not his importance.
As I already stated, the status quo of his existence makes him important.
But its true his existance is not required to be important or even needed simply because he exists, his entire DLC could very well just be to simply allow players to explore more about teh lore aspect of the protheans in a way that has no relevance to the protheans contributions to the war against the reaper. In this regard yes he would have no importance or actual need to the game at all. He would simply be a way to provide fans of the series an insight into something that may interest them beyond whats important to the plot of the game.
Suppose the plot of his mission is simply an insight into the daily life of protheans before the reapers in that case what relevance does he have to the actual game itself? very little, but it would still be of value to pepole who wish to learn about the lore. Even if he had no mission at all and said nothing but one liners he would have value to people who just think its cool to have a prothean along to kill stuff with.
The status quo of his existance makes him possibly important but does not ensure it or guarantee it, because this is a game and not reality and what role he plays is not subject to actual interactions in which we would be free to pursu any course of interaction with him we wish, we are insteaad forced to interact with him within the constrains of how Bioware has chosen to allow us to. That does not have to be anything important to anythign at all, he could just as easily be Mute say nothing, have no mission and follow us around and shoot thigns and have zero relevance but still be inclluded because they felt like putting it in.
This would be a horrible implmementation and if thats how it was done, that would be plenty of concern for outrage over the wasted potential of the character, and likely his actual implementation will be just as much so.
His importance within the game however is not ensured by his existance alone, it only becomes a valid argument if you begin to include conjecture on what SHOULD be included and what IS included and how HE SHOULD relate to those things which in no way forces him to do so because his actions are determined by what Bioware has written for him and not by what we believe he should do.
Basicaly Potential or Deserved Importance =/= Actual Importance
Retour en haut
I don´t even want a prothean in my ME game that doesn´t add anything to the lore and just totally doesn´t fit in the game at all.
