Arkkangel I agree with most of what you say here in that it has decent logic supported by decent foundation, both of which are key to a good position. But everything revolves around your definition of "essential", in that you believe he's not essential because he doesn't add to the plot and you can get the lore information elsewhere. I do not think he is "essential" anymore than I think Legion was "essential" in that it would have been easy to work the character out of the story, cover the bases other ways, then offer him as extra content. But it's the experience of such a character, and having him in your squad and the resulting dialogue and going on the eden prime mission that makes it not ESSENTIAL, but VALUABLE story-related CONTENT.
About providing the flawed details, can you tell me which? Facts are the basis for any discussion and it's important that they be correct. AFAIK the only things I've spoken about which could be deemed "wrong" are the content the Prothy squaddie brings with him, which 1) no one can know until they play the game and 2) even then, different content has different importance with different people and even a smidgeon of Prothean-related content can be a big deal for most fans.
And I agree with how fans feel that he is valuable. Again, I'm not denying the personal importance he is to fans, which is again why I have issues with the DLC.
The flawed details were as such:
1)Chris Priestly stating that the Prothy was being removed from the game/CE or whatever. Your first mistake is believing Mr. Priestly, who is a notorious fan troller. Jk, his fan interactions leave much to be desired, and he's been wrong in the past as well. But the fact was that they were just removing that bit of the description, because they had nothing prepared to show the public yet.
2) That the Prothean was developed at that point and removed. The reality is that there was no work for the Prothean or the rest of "From Ashes" done at that point outside of a handful of lines in the script that were squad banter that interacted with the rest o the game if he were to be downloaded. The original concept of a Prothean in ME3 was dropped very early in pre production. Those assets of that Prothean and Eden Prime were reused later during production to develop the "From Ashes" DLC and the character of Javrik.
3) While not a factual basis of your argument, your posts and responses seemed intended to ilicit hostile responses from people, which was why I had to break out my snarky Turian self and smack your squishy self down (those are jokes btw, just ME humor), and why you have been called out on that. Whether that was your intention or not, I honestly don't care. Just keep in mind of how you execute your argument so that people will listen to you instead of targeting you.
Anyways, thanks for the cordial response. I can PM you where to get the source information that I and rainasa speak of. It's very spoiler heavy, so if that's an issue, I can find a way to impart information. I just can't post it publically on here or Priestly will be frying my ***.
