Not going to say too much, considering this is a non-spoiler forum, but for anyone who's still curious: yeah, the Prothean adds PLENTY to the lore. And why wouldn't he? He's a Prothean! He's a very interesting character, with an awesome recruitment mission, and great new abilities (he's very useful in combat). All of that in mind, I'm still scratching my head as to why he wasn't in the actual game. Honestly, for a moment I had totally forgotten that he was DLC because he feels like such a crucial and natural addition in this game.

Can anyone tell me where the hell to BUY this DLC? I've spent the last hour trying to figure it out. I'm logged in to EA servers in-game and it says Additional Content Available! and advertises From Ashes. Only problem is there's no BUTTON TO BUY IT?!

I just got access to my standard edition. You buy it via an in-game menu. 800 BW points which was AUD$11.24

Quick question for those who've played...while its d/ling and installing should I play? How far into the game does the he pop up?

So it is exactly what I thought a chunk of the story cut to be kept from you with a 10 dollar ransom attached to it.

It's not that at all, actually. He has nothing to do with the main plot of the game.

Thank god for that,because it would make things too easy and far-fetched.

Not to my knowledge no, there is no way to purchase it in-game.

I would wait until friday and see what it brings.

It fills in some grey areas in the story. That has everything to do with the main plot.

Does it?

It gives us backstory for sure, but thats the extant of what Javik can contribute other than being another gun to shoot reapers and pretty cool. But I thought long and hard on this and came to a conclusion I think the developers came to when they first throught of the character. If Javik was a game-changer to the plot of Mass Effect 3, then the story would just focus on him only. There would be minimal gathering of allies, assets, weapons, what have you. The story would lose focus on Shepard, who was the primary focus to begin with, and the plot would pretty much allow him to be the magical macguffin that will destroy them once and for all.

It would make the story a bad one then, a conclusion that doesn't fit what we have already see. The last living Prothean is a soldier far removed from the work on Ilos, the Citadel, and other areas. This soldier knows how to fight, and thats what you need, a fighting man by your side. 

So I am glad it has nothing to do with the main plot of Mass Effect 3. If it did, he would have the solution to defeating the Reapers and we would already be winning for sure. As of where I am in the story, he has none of that, which I am grateful for.

Just did this mission last night. Holy hell was it epic, great inclusion! Going to be taking him on lots of missions I'm sure.

i think the Prothean is worth every penny to be honest , he has a sense of humor ( mean mostly lol ) he talks a lot ( interacts with everyone you bring alongside him on a mission ) as the gentlemen above already mentioned he is a great fighter . he doesnt feel like a DLC character at all he fits in very well.

Okay just got my copy of the game today and I am going to look to see if DLC is available for purchase on pc. Do want to point out that I already had to download a Update of 70MB for pc through Origins edition.

Yep, I love the Prothean. Thank you, again, BioWare for bringing this to the conclusion!

Could someone please verify that the DLC has a 567 MB filesize (PC)?
I'm not sure whether the download was interrupted...

ME3 will be playable tomorrow in this part of Europe (Germany) and I'd like to have all the relevant files downloaded in order to start playing (tomorrow) with no further delay.

Can someone give me their impression of From Ashes, without spoilers? How long is it compared to Kasumi or Zaeed's missions? Is the Prothean interesting? And is the DLC worth the price?

From Ashes is much better than Kasumi/Zaeed even though it may be slightly shorter. Its just better in quality and how it presents itself as well as the story element explaining his character. Its really cool. Worth the price? Can't say, I got the CE.

The mission itself is kind of derivative. It's really just more shooting Cerberus goons. But the cutscenes of what happened to him, and the character itself are well worth it. I recommend it not for the mission, but for Javik.
