Anything I say would be a spoiler.
Answer the question hypothetically then..... If by some chance, the access to the supposed Prothean lore, that everyone is a) concerned about and
is kicking off about is not locked behind a pay-gate as envisioned by the Prothean squadmate DLC, and as has been previously suggested, but neither confirmed or denied by Bioware, that the squadmate DLC only allows you to recruit a character that is already, allegedly, a major, interact able NPC in the normal game without DLC, what is the core fundamental issue at the heart of this?..... Day 1 DLC leaving a bad taste in your mouth from a principle point of view (understandable) or the feeling that your missing out on something which you have no idea or otherwise, fills or has the potential to fill in some huge lore gaps in the Mass Effect Universe ( which until you can be appraised of all facts is just going with a misunderstood mob mentality)?
The emotive side is "It's a Prothean". That's the reason this has snowballed like it has, Protheans have that sort of mystique in the ME universe.
If it had been another human people would not react like this. But the principle would not change.
My personal feeling on the matter is that if we have reached this stage where key parts of the game are now optional. Then packaging rules and regulations need to be changed. Full disclosure of both the game cost and the day 1 DLC cost. People would rightly assume they are getting a complete game, when in fact they are not.
My guess is ME3 failed to live upto EA expecations and they are milking it for all it's worth.
Those are your personal feelings and assumption, you complain about something you made up in your mind and which holds no basis in the real world untill the game gets launched.
Protheans are important?
* Protheans were a space fearing species who lived 50.000 years ago,
* they dind't build the relays and they didn't build the Citadel,
* their technology was mostly based on stuff left behind from other species from other cycles,
* they were the last victims of this cycle which is going on,
* they were attacked by the Reapers,
* because of problems of harvesting them the Reapers re purposed them as the collectors and they now serve/used to serve the Reapers.
* Shepard wiped them out in ME2.
The Reapers have been at it for milions of years, every 50.000 years would add upto hundreds maybe thousands of species, do we also need information on those? We know just about everything we need to know about the Protheans, now what about them Reapers?
