Nobody would care if he wasn't Prothean.

I think the real question is why wasn't prothy the Prothean included in the game I mean ME1 was centralized around the legacy of the protheans, because of them the galactic civilization has been around a lot longer it seems relevant that they would be a major piece of the story, so why didn't they make Mr. Prothean have a bigger role in ME3?

As far as the people who made the game are concerned, the game is complete without it. You will just have to wait till you play it to argue that they are wrong

I would be annoyed with day one DLC being charged for, regardless. like Totalbuiscit, I have no problem with gaming companies trying to insentivize new game purchases by making certain content available only if you buy the game new. (like Cerberus network, or Shale, or Black emporium) what bugs me is being charged extra for the content that should have been part of the game at launch, was worked on for months (especially if leaked script is to be believed). it was bad enough with Exiled Prince, but at least Sebastian was free on all preorders, so you could justify it as a preorder bonus.

this right here? is a bit much.

Pretty much.

I wouldn't care, I liked Zaeed he had some funny lines. Plus hearing "That's God damn suicide" never gets old. People are just freaking out mostly because they released this DLC on day one, which I don't get why people are so bent out of shape, especially since it comes included with the CE and from everything I've heard its not that big a part to the over all story that you really don't need.

Let's be honest, the Protheans didn't do that great a job in saving themselves from the Reapers, what could one possibly bring to the table that Shepard doesn't?

OP is wrong

Say, BioWare also announced yesterday that there is another DLC bonus character, a Prothean, that ISN'T in the Collectors Edition, and everyone should pay ten bucks extra to get him, whether you have CE or not. I mean, they didn't promise it would be a Prothean in the CE, right?

As most of you know, yesterday there was a leak that revealed the upcoming DLC “ME3:From Ashes” on the
Xbox LIVE Marketplace. This leak took place before we were prepared to make an announcement about the details of that pack (slated for this Friday). 

There has been a lot of discussion about the DLC offering but we wanted to clarify a few things... 

- “From Ashes” includes the Prothean squad mate, an adventure on Eden Prime, a new weapon, and an alternate
appearance for every squadmates. Note that these alternate appearances are in addition to the ones already advertised in the CE.

- The Collectors Edition has been advertised from the beginning as containing a bonus character/mission, but we were not at liberty to provide the details. The Prothean is optional content that is certainly designed to appeal to long-time fans, which is why he is part of the CE offering (the version many fans would be likely to purchase).  Mass Effect 3 is a complete – and a huge game - right out of the box.

- The content in “From Ashes” was developed by a separate team (after the core game was finished) and not completed until well after the main game went into certification.

- The Collectors Edition has been sold out in most places for some time now, and is becoming very hard to find (many players prefer not to purchase the digital version). As such, we wanted to make this content available so that SE buyers could also incorporate the Prothean into their game.

We’ll be releasing someimages and video about this pack in the coming days. 

As always, we are extremely thankful for all of your support. We pulled out all of the stops to make Mass Effect 3 the best game ever, and we can't wait for you all to experience it.

Mike

Exactly, if this was another human, or salarian or a batarian that may be acceptable. But it isn't, it's a bloody Prothean, something that's been integral to the entire Mass Effect plot throughout the entire trilogy.

Humans have "been integral to the entire Mass Effect plot throughout the entire trilogy" [sic], too. One individual does not a race make.

This particular Prothean is not integral to the plot of ME3, and people who've read the script leaks knew this months ago.

So, would you be alright with that? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Stop claiming that you know what I "think", because clearly you don't.

I'd still buy it, even if 10 bucks is too much for it.

However, I can't see why BW doesn't give it to at least everyone who pre-ordered ME3. Just as fair, since it is day 1 DLC...

But that's just my opinion. Not gonna go in an uproar about it.

Well technically they aren't. Warden's Keep was a CE DLC wasn't it? I mean, yeah, that's not a character but then that's hardly relevant here. That's still content that was kept out of the game for people that bought the regular edition new.
I still think it's dumb though, this just isn't something new from Bioware/EA's though.

... *doesn't have the heart to tell poster that Warden's Keep and Shale were eventually included in new standard's for free before ultimate edition was out and are both still available for purchase on BSN*

Seriously. It's annoyed the hell outta me we haven't had one yet..

Who says that the prothean is important? What if he's not?

Batarians in general have been sadly underutilized.

[Akado182]

I'm getting the CE and I'm extremely happy for all the content I will be getting for 20 more dollars. Now, if I were in the position to where I would pay 10 more dollars to get a Day One DLC I would have to look at what all I'd be getting. If it was just the option to get just a Squadmate then I would think its not worth it but seeing as the DLC includes a Squadmate (a really cool one IMO), a mission, a weapon and an appearance pack. I would say all that is worth 10 dollars to me, especially seeing as Kasumi was 10 dollars and what we got from that was a Squadmate and a weapon and I bought 2 seperate appearance packs for whatever they were worth. So I guess in the end, if it wasn't part of the CE I was already getting I would most likely still be buying it because it seems like a decent enough deal.

Honestly, I'm not even sure what you're getting at or if you missed my point entirely.
I didn't even mention Stone Prisoner which was always included as a free download if you bought the game new. It's not really relevant to my point.
The point was that Wardens Keep on the other hand was free with the digital collector's edition and everyone else had to pay for it, as is the case right here.

You seem to think that I was saying nobody could get at it other than CEs or something.

To the OP's point, I'm getting the CE, and I'm not okay with it.

Mainly because it implies that the Prothean won't have an essential, or even big, role at all. And that is very, very disappointing. I can't even put in to words the amount of lost potential there.

Exactly my point!

If he is integral to the plot, all the more shame for charging it extra, basically saying you have to pay $70 for the originally intended experience.

And if he's NOT integral to the plot, what the hell was the point? You bring in a sole survivor of the previous cycle, a single being that can shed some first-hand light to the whole thing... and you treat him as a non-essential tack-on?

[Naughty Bear]

You watch now, people will complain that the Prothean dlc is crap and not worth the price.

What light? We already know everything important about what happened.

Yeah, guilty. I'd hardly call it free though, more like, reduced cost with extra goodies included.

[incinerator950]

The yeah, I thought so comment is out of place when A) It didn't happen yet, and You automatically assume we still give a ****.

Which, I don't, and I would shell out the $10 eventually. Key word is eventually, maybe not on Day 1.

[N.Loki]

I got it for the Weapons, the Bonus Character is just extra, I wouldn't mind dishing out 800 MSP for the Prothy if the bonus was someone else, though it is a huge shame it wasn't integrated into the Full game, let alone the MAIN story.

Needless to say, it's a Lose - Lose on BiowEAr's part.

Zaeed was a badass.

I'd buy CE even if there was no Prothean DLC.

Hell, another Zaeed mission would be awesome.
