His look is consistent w the collectors. The picture in the codex would have required a lot more explanation.

After hearing his explanation of Prothean society, my first thought was, "Well, so much for the romantic imaginings of how it *might've* been. Turns out the Protheans were jerks."

I thought it worked. Didn't really bother me all that much, though I did feel bad for Liara by the time she found out that the Protheans were not quite what she thought they were.

I like the character, but I am very disappointed by how not important it ends up to have a living breathing Prothean aboard the Normandy. I mean, humanity itself got technologically propelled by their findings of the Prothean cache on Mars, allowing them to discover FTL technology. The next thing you know after finding him is a mere convo with Hackett "Oh, a live Prothean? That's kinda cool, you think he could help us build the Crucible or something?".
And outside of that little scene in the Citadel when a Asari and a Hanar overhear him talk and realize it's a living Prothean there's really not much going on about the fact that there's a freaking living, breathing and able Prothean in the galaxy helping Commander Shepard fighting the Reapers. What about more reactions around? It's kinda like a BIG DEAL to me, just kinda... at least Liara does have genuine reactions to the situation.
It's like either almost no one knows except high-ranking officers at the Crucible construction (Hackett and all), and the Normandy's crew. Some characters have some reactions if you bring him in certain missions (like Sur'Kesh, that Salarian guy who thinks that Javik is joking when he says he's a Prothean). I mean seriously. I did except more reactions implying complete surprise, astounded people around "What?! A LIVING PROTHEAN?!" ... man finally someone reacts!
You know 'cause they just happened to have been wiped out last cycle 50K years ago and stuff... just sayin'.

Since West Africa is the cradle of all humanity, I thought it was a nice touch to parallel that in the game and have the Protheans using a Nigerian accent. It possessed the right sort of resonance for the last survivor of the old world, a good way to make him sound old without needing to actually be old with a grandfatherly voice, etc.
I thought it was a decision you could clearly imagine the development towards and thinking processes behind.

I think there is something omitted in the ME trilogy, and that is the presence of lots of other races, a bit like in Star Wars, and so people assume Javik to be maybe a very rare type of alien.. not a Prothean.
The reason for doing so, is probably because it would be impossible to design hundreds of races and give them the right place in a trilogy without making them look pointless (Reason why I do not like the pointless multitude of aliens in Star Wars).
I find hard if not impossible to beleive that in a galaxy of hundreds bilions stars, there is only 7 races that achieved space flight.

That is not a Jamaican accent...
I for one thought it fit great. He sounded wise and exotic.
