That picture doesn't include the extended flashback in ME2 which shows us a Prothean. There's no reason te say we are getting a retcon because the statues on Ilos looked like husks and thus any number of possibilities are possible.

Yes the screen shows all the relevant lore about prothean genetics and species thingy.
It's a collector.

And if you said that its a Prothean that hibernated for 50k, then you kick in the nuts people who said, ohhh its not relevant , he is optional.


Again, i did posted about protheans /collectors  and their importance in ME series, i was of the first complaining about how they reduced such important  part of the game to the level of DLC . I do not know how exactly you came to conlusion that i do not find them relevent. I knew about Collectors being protheans since the first time i played mass effect 2,so i do need to learn how to read  about something i alreayd knew couple of years ago.
Yes the DLC prothean is the one that survived for 50k years,not a modified one that reapers produced,which makes him to me even more important.

Ok dumb nuts, since when people start charging for Multiplayer?
Name other company who said: OH WE ARE GOING TO CHARGE TO PUT A MP MODE.
Yeah you can't.


Well, first time for everything...

At about 0:45, you can see the online pass for the multiplayer, and it is said without the pass you won't be able to access the (full?) multiplayer, so the logical conclusion is, that poeple who buy used have to pay to unlock the (full?) multiplayer.

Also, let's cut the offensive language.


Sorry for this, but i'm losing patience with people who say OH ITS A COMPANY BLESSING YOU HERETIC, YOU SHOULD PAY IT.
When 1-2 years ago was a free feature.

XBL users do get a 2 day gold pass so its not all bad I guess. (They can then decide if the game MP is worth playing or not, which is kinda sad still) But i think most Xbox Sliver users will not bother paying more money to even play MP when PC and PS3 users get it free.

So if your an Xbox Sliver user sell your online pass on ebay cause it won't do jack for you!

I didn't say in my post "Then you kick LivingHitokiri in the nuts...", so either sides find in a bad situation with that image, got it?
Nothing personal :innocent:

Anyone else notice where it says "[Protheans] will have a prominent role in ME3" ?


What happens if the Protheans do have a prominent role in ME3 irrespective of the Prothean squadmate?


Anything I say would be a spoiler.

That is correct , if they wanted to make similar to Zaeed situtation then they could allow ME 3 Mp to be played with silver accounts

Answer the question hypothetically then..... If by some chance, the access to the supposed Prothean lore, that everyone is a) concerned about and B) 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)?

That is too perfect.

"Yeah, there's a Mass in Mass Effect.  It's a cancerous mass on the side of gaming, it's called Bioware."

"They said the game was $60, that's a lie.  The game is $70 ******* dollars."

"Now I have to go find a collector's edition, so I can get all the plastic **** and hang it on my wall like a badge of shame."

"I'm boycotting your game, Bioware.  Look what you've made me do."


WHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA... This is just so face palm worthy!

This is what he really feels about the DLC, in the video above he's mocking you.

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.

But it is not a conspiracy or a swindle. BioWare have released Day-1 DLC before (like Soldier's Peak and Exiled Prince) and they're known to have new buyer incentives (such as Shale and The Black Emporium). They're just continuing to use their old business model.

If you didn't buy the CE/DDE, you have to pay for the Prothean. It might suck, but then again, I'd much rather had Sebastian as free DLC for new buyers and The Black Emporium as extra DLC, but I at the end of the day, the publishers decide what they offer me, and I can decide wether or not I pay for it.

Prefer to wait to get the Game of the year edition with all the bloody dlcs released while paying the same 59.99.
Got my lesson, pre order is just for suckers according to the company philosophies.

Yes it pretty much is. It's EA's way of getting more than the listed price out of ME3 SE on release.

They know full well that a transparent £10 price hike would cost them in sales, so they try to slip it in the back door.

(Im sure you can conclude the metaphor should you choose).

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?

Sorry, I just like playing Devils Advocate with most peoples opinions, mainly because they're nearly all subjective, thus have holes in them that would embarrass Swiss cheese makers everywhere.... Subjective opinions are overwhelmingly negative, once you make someone have an objective opinion then the outcome is nearly always positive.

The fact is that Day 1 DLC and online passes are overwhelmingly bad for everyone, not because of the idea but because of the implementation and rationale behind them. Online passes are rarely fair and equitable to everyone, and their value is as amorphous as the problem they're allegedly trying to solve - used games.... If you could buy an online pass at the shop alongside your used game, and it was set to be 15 or 20% of the used price, that kind of data is worth far more than the static but opt-out able price of a used game.... You get sales data that they've never had get to see trends,etc that they've had no access to, the retailer doesn't sell a dud game, and if the retailer pushes the used game at a couple of dollars less (inc online pass) than the retail version then still everyone wins..... Thinking 'in principle' doesn't give anyone the full picture.

And that's your right, and that's completely fine. That's probably also the smartest move.

I myself am a bit more impatient, so I have pre-ordered and am counting days to the 8th.

Yes, and like I said those are just an assumption you are making. You assume this DLC is important and you need it to get the complete experience. You assume EA is milking SE buyers out (all the while CE buyers pay 20 bucks more). Those are assumptions you are making which hold no basis in the real world.

As for your comment:

It's just you making it important, while it's not.

Well it's clearly very unfair to anyone without access to the internet. But on a board like this, it's not going to come up.On the other hand if it was taken off the internet to a consumer affairs program the word would likely spread to the casuals and I cant imagine them being happy in the least. They are being done out of content online pass or not.

See the objective opinion from my point of view, is if you're that annoyed by it, most retailers have an amount of time to pick up a preorder 48hrs or so.... In the uk, you'll be able to know how important the Prothean actually is, 3 days, before you can get your hands on the game.... Take a view with more actual facts and make your own decision about it.... Are you seriously going to sit here on this thread ****ing about stuff you are not fully-informed about, and to which at this point there is only conjecture, and the musing of people who read the leak, for the next week and a half?

Nothing to do with it. It's about full disclousure. If it's missing from the game and available as day 1 DLC I want it indicated on the box so I can see the real price I'm paying for the complete game.

That's me explaining why TB had over 500,000 hits on his Youtube clip in 2 days.

i like the dlc, but i not understood BioWare, why put this big revelation in a dlc, why this Ptothean not its like the statue of prothean in ME1, and its possibile this Prothean is a archetip ?

the last chance for the Prothean to save the dna codec ?

and this type of charecter not have romance and dialogue like the normal companion,

i love Kasumi and the Stolem Memory dlc, but kasumi not is a LI in ME2, and maybe not is a squad member in ME3,

but i pre-order my N7 CE of ME3.
