Compared to you that tries to scrap the whole ME story and alter it just to try to make their opinion to make sense for how many posts ?
Someone saying that protheans are not essential to the ME universe when we talk about something that got great plot/story/lore significance.
You're trying to turn ME story into a bad written one by throwing random assumptions with IF, and what bioware could/should do just to try to support your ridiculous statement.
You're ignoring tons of aspects of the game and balantly try to push your opinion with any basis.
There would be no shepard or any other shepard if Protheans didnt do what they did.
No im trying to show you that the protheans are not the central point of the entire series that without them the entire series doesnt make any sense at all and could never exist in any form even remotely close to it. Which is what people are claiming. I have said repeatedly that they are important to the lore and story of the universe and have significance. I have disputed that they are ESSENTIAL to Plot of the second or third games because the PLOT does not require the lore to progress and Lore simpily builds upon it. People who know nothing of the lore can understand the plot perfectly well if they start with ME 2 and never bother to read the codex.
People's individual opionins that the Protheans are super important is their opinion and one they are entitled to. If the protheans are what makes the story interesting for them then they are Essential to that person's enjoyment for sure. That does not make them PLOT ESSENTIAL by their very existance, which is the argument that the simple fact that the prothean exists and is a prothean means he MUST be Important because people have built the protheans up to be more important to the series than the Reapers or for some people even more important than Shepard.
Protheans are important to the game in its current form yes, they are NOT ESSENTIAL TO THE PLOT, they are lore and backstory that some people will find interesting. The game does not suddenly not function or make no sense because the protheans are not a massive super important plot point you want htem to be if the game is written so that they arent. And including a prothean squad member into the plot that is written so that he is not important does not deprive you of anything because the plot would be the same if he never existed at all.
Plot and lore are what makes the story of a game, they go together, trying to separate them especially in well written RPG universe like Mass Effect would result into totally bad written one.
Protheans are not essencial just because they existed/exist as race,they are essencial because they are the root of Mass Effect story and it develops around them. They are essencial because they are the first to break the circle that reapper could followed for how long we know.They are essencial because they are the reason the whole galaxy has a chance to stand again reappers . Shepard could be easilly taken as nothing more as narrator to the whole trilogy,does that make him less important, of course not,both him,protheans,reapers are a CHAIN that was build to keep the ME story strong and good.Trying to sepparate them is totally wrong,you simply cannot because the game would be total different.
You cannot show anything otherwise simply because thats how the story is told,both ME 1 and 2 got protheans,reapers and shepard as the main focus,because we play from Shepards prospective in the story it doesnt neglect the importance of other two.
By simply adding a Prothean to ME 3 and turn into non significant part of the story will ruin everything the story so far build and told us,all for the sake of 10 dolars,by ruinning an important aspect of the game into fodder( if it doesnt play any role in ME 3) if it does then EA simply proves they choose to use an important part of the game and use the fanbase in order to proffit and totally ignoring the damage it could cause to the overall look of the game.
That's what makes me to diagree with the DLC and EA ideology overall.
Look back in the days where bioware didnt had EA as publisher,then,try to compare them after they did.
