I know it is far too late to actually do anything about it, but I would have preffered that the Protheans stayed extinct (or corrupted).

One of my favorite parts about the Mass Effect universe is the Prothean mystery. Every time, I think about one of the last missions in the original Mass Effect, where you visit the ruins and find the ancient AI. The music in the background was calm and almost mournful. What you saw was the unforgettable tragedy of the race that ruled the galaxy.

By introducing a Prothean - especially one as a teammate - I feel like BioWare kind of breaks this effect. Now the Protheans, who had been your ancient saviors though nobody really knew it, become just another race in a way.

Thoughts?

Yup, I liked when they were a mysterious, highly regarded race rather than some gimmicky team mate. I wouldn't be buying the dlc either way but I'm glad he won't be in my game.

[warriorN7]

just dont download him he's optional

[Phoenixblight]

Well this is an easy fix just don't install the DLC. Problem solved.

[GnusmasTHX]

Protheans and Reapers were always "just another race".

[Texhnolyze101]

Just kill prothy when you meet him and BAM! there extinct again

[piemanz]

I totally agree.

I'm not happy about the protheans be brought back, but it depends on how it's handled i guess. It could potentially ruin the game for me though if it's too cheesy or forced.

Well it is optional DLC.  If you don't want a live prothean then don't get the DLC. Personaly I can't wait to have him in my party. I think he is going to even beat Shale as bioware's best DLC squadmember.

Don't buy the DLC and Prothy stays dead as disco.

That's not what the OP is talking about, at all, and I'm pretty sure I heard that Prothy the Prothean is apart of the story no matter what. The DLC just makes him a squadmember apparently.

Don't quote me on that though.

You're assuming the DLC contains the only prothean in the game, which is not necessarily correct, and actually fairly unlikely.

I 've got the CE and Disco is not dead disco is a way of life.

[AtreiyaN7]

I can understand your reasoning, but I still wouldn't want him gone. My curiosity has won out, so I like having the opportunity to find out more about their race, the lore, etc.

[Davnort]

rather they all be dead, but hey if its written well then its cool.

[knightnblu]

Heck no, I don't want any stinkin' Prothean on my ship! I want an Ewok gosh darn it!

If an Ewok can take out the Empire, just imagine what the little fur critters can do to a Reaper.

[ItsFreakinJesus]

They're extinct if you don't download the dlc/recruit him.

[gmboy902]

The "if you don't like it don't buy it" argument is tired and invalid. I guess I'm not complaining about ME3 then, just the DLC. But what if I want to get the extra content the DLC offers? Not to mention, I will be surprised if the Protheans don't play some active role in Mass Effect 3.

I suppose it does have two sides to it. It would be interesting to know more about what happened to the Protheans before they met their fate. And Bioware has done a good job at making each race stand out. But I'd still prefer they just left things like Mass Effect 1 - I was a little iffy with the Collectors, even, being Prothean.

Yeah a lot of people are upset about the story implications of having a surviving prothean that, by Bioware's own reports, is not important. Kinda screws up their intrigue. At least if it had some big implications in the story, it would seem worth it to bring the race back, but instead he is just kind of there...

[AntenDS]

How has he even survived this long? He would need the life span of 50 Asari.

who said disco was dead

 

[TheChosen0ne]

It's a Collector but it seems like Bioware has brain washed 99% of the people here thinking it's a Prothean

My theory.

They found a way to extract the prothean DNA from the collector DNA and made a clone. Thats what i'm hoping anyway, as anything else could be really crappy..

[gmboy902]

Explain how Bioware can brainwash people into thinking that what they announced is different than the story they created.

Well, in that case you'd better kill yourself right now.

I got 99 problems and a Prothean ain't one.

[ediskrad327]

1- don't download him
2- he is still only one Prothean to sustain a viable population so only one Prothean still makes the species extinct
3- the old "ancient advanced race that mysteriously disappeared" cliche didn't help the Protheans very much to be unique
