Translation: There's greater than a 99% chance that there's a planet with more Protheans in stasis.

What's my point: Everything you wrote is entirely opinion, just like I have an opinion.  An opinion based on current "knowledge" and qualified by an ever evolving fictional galaxy with technological limits that exist within the developers' minds.  Considering that none of this is "fact", we both have an equal chance at being right or wrong.  So the "winner" of the Mass Effect Nerd-Off can only be decided by personal bias towards one argument or the other.

Sigh....

I never once denighed the possibility of it happening. It is a large galaxy but the odds are so remote that its nigh impossible to calculate.

More over I based my opinion off of what we know of Prothians and their stasis technology of which we see two prime examples, Ilos and Eden Prime. Both of which had power issues. Ilos bairly had enough power to save a few dozen in the end. I have no trouble applying that to any other stasis sites out there. Nor see any reason why they would set their timers for 50,000 years when they already know the cycle lasts about that long each time.

And yes it is pure opinion and neither are right or wrong at this point, however with current data available to us the opinion I presented seems to be the most logical as it fits known data. Hence hypothosis or educated guess. And right now it doesnt appear that much of the data supports the possibility of this happening.

Could it? Absolutely. Will it, doubtful.

I'm not saying it isn't problematic, but it creates at least a possibility.  I felt dismissing it as necessarily tied to Razor products was unfair. 

However, here is a hypothetical.  Protheans design a facility that taps into geothermal power to power their facility.  Due to strict controls, the indoctrinated are largely kep away from the project but manage to corrupt the wake-up protocols.  Protheans sleep till present day, found by task force looking for ways to combat reapers.

Sure, far fetched, but not any less far fetched than the eden prime facility failing in such a way that only one prothean survived for shepard and that pod was in immediate danger of failing when shepard arrived.


As I said the possibility is there as the current species are no where near as wide spread as the Prothians but the likelyhood of an event like this is so low I cant come up with a number for it. Something like 1 x 10 to the -9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999th.

And honestly there are a whole host of other issues to deal with. The Reapers probably would have pounded that planet flat and could have made it toxic to life due to atmospheric contamination or any other number of issues that could happen which could be factored in. To many variables (though most with extremely low probabilities including the original subject) to count leading into an idea which is unstable at best.

I just dont see it happening. Remember how people felt and still feel about alot of the things in ME3 where they though it was gimicy and stuff? They would be more than justified if this happend.


To clarify: Bioware clearly has no problem with low-probability events, as seen in Javik's survival.  I'm not saying necessarily that it is reason to include the protheans, but it can't work as an argument against either.  That door was blown wide open when Javik survived.

EDIT: As an addendum, again I was mainly arguing against OP's dismissal to link prothean survival to Razor products.

How does playing a Volus enhance your playing experience? Everything you wrote here applies to every new addition. For one, Protheans can use Slam, an ability not in the game. They also sound and look awesome and lollore.  These reasons are enough to warrant them an addition to the game. The same people criticizing adding them, would be clamoring for their character cards and using them non stop in game.

Well, they do have the ability to read information off of matter. They could have a passive tac-scan-like ability that just highlights the enemies and nothing more. That would be in-lore and interesting.

Also, green biotics.

Still exists in the game which is my point. Plus its on human characters so its not Prothian specific so I would say its plenty valid.

The Razor joke made me el-oh-el.

But on topic: The only ability worth noting that the Protheans have over other races is their ability to receive data just by 'touching' another living being, which makes them capable of learning complex subjects, such as language, in a matter of moments. Historically its said to have been used as a means to gain awareness of their surroundings, because, you know: they started as hunters.

In a combat situation this could likely mean touching another organic being to gain tactical knowledge from them...So I don't really see how this could be added in a gameplay perspective unless they can 'touch' a teammate to gain passive bonuses from them based on race (headshot bonuses from Salarians, power bonus from Asari, recharge rate from Volus and Quarians, ,Health/Shield bonuses from Krogan, Melee bonus from Batarians) or touch a dead organic body to gain a temporary tactical scan of enemies nearby along with bonus damage when hitting weak points.

So...to put in a fancy list form of potential ideas:

- Ability to gain round based stat bonuses based on team composition (excluding geth characters because, you know, non-organic abominations or something like that.)
- Power damage and Force bonuses taken from Asari and Drell.
- Power and Shield Recharge taken from Volus and Quarian
- Health/Shields taken from Krogan and Humans.
- Melee Damage Taken from Batarians and Vorcha.
- Headshot damage Taken from Salarians.
- Weapon Damage and Stability from Turians.
-  No bonuses from Geth or other Protheans (You got that knowledge already.)

- Melee killing an enemy provides tactical scan vision for yourself and teammates, and gives you additional damage to enemy weak spots.

- Bonus to using Prothean and Collector weaponry in the form of clip size.

- Likely have higher power/weight capacity bonuses than other races, rivaling the turians. No innate stability.

- Cool Pseudo-Jamaican Accent.

Really though, the 'killing an enemy for tactical scan' bonus feels rather novel and less efficient on higher levels (and this is coming from the player of a pure melee krogan soldier.), and the stat bonuses based on your party give you little room to plan a strategy based around that ability, making it also a novel racial trait...and how would that even work? How much are these bonuses? Does your passive affect how much of your team's passive you get? Is the passive amount limited to one race, making more diverse groups more efficient than a group of all humans?

If a Prothean character was added with these mechanism, they would likely be of the Soldier class, though we are certain that there were Prothean Biotics considering the existance of Javik and their manipulation of the Asari. In the end they would likely get the 'Volus' Treatment with four new classes. My guesses being Adept, Soldier, Sentinel, and Vanguard.

Do people want them? Yes. But really, their 'touch' ability is the only unique thing they have, and while interesting to think about, can it really be done properly in a gameplay scenario to make playable Protheans worth the lore tension?

Something to think about.

The devs can give powers and characteristics to any type of kit they desire. There's nothing that's in the way cosmically stopping them from creating some kick ass Prothean powers that would just drop even the most jaded of jaws. There's nothing in the lore that would make anyone reasonably say, "hey, they can't do that". They are a veritable blank slate of development creativity. So I don't see the point of this thread unless you are aware of some limitations that I am not.

Personally, I would love to see the green wall smash from the Javik cut scene.


OP is saying that blank slate already exists on any of the other races already. The only thing protheans add is a 3d model.


That's true, but it;s also true of Turian females, Volus, etc. All the characters are in essence just 3D models; why does the N7 Fury have Dark Channel, a Prothean-only ability in SP (Shepard doesn't count)? The truth is, Bioware can do whatever they want with any character; in the end we abide by their choice in look and ability of the kits. With that being said, I'd like to rush into a battle with a character that looks like a Prothean, and I can only hope that the Prothean's abilities would fit what we'd expect.

you sort of just answered your own question.

we don't really have any (currently available) biotic soliders in MP, even if he is the only Prothean introduced into Mp (thus making him one of a kind). And I also can't argue with the logic for more guns...Borderlands said it best...you can never have enough guns.

[87 Gagillion guns later...] So...many...guns...blarg



 did you ever hear that game that had 89 bajilions guns!! it nightmare i tell you i thin the game was  called borederlands  2 or something, if only it had a better storyline then what it has now iu would have actually played it..


you cant go anywhere with out stubbing you toe on one sometimes i think the borederlands universe is made of guns.. how else  do you get so many

If we can play as midgets who would be perma-killed (As in no reviving at the end of the wave.) from many of the sync-kills (Phantom, Banshee, Praetorian) and these guys are considered to be lore friendly, then there's no argument against Protheans anymore. Make them an UR just like the Volus, and only one class. That way the statement can be made that 4 more have been *insert explanation here*, and they are all wanting to join the fight just as Javik did.

Prothean Soldier
shields 750, health 500
melee- Drell melee but green with reduced range but increased damage.

Powers:

Extrasensory adaptation: using this power on a teammate allows you to use a random power they have specced the same way. No passives (tech armor, etc) or grenade powers.

Plague burst: Dark chanmnel in the form of carnage. good against barriers and armor.

Coolant pack: Like stimpack on turian havoc, but instantly refills the clip on all guns, including the PPR, CSMG, and CSR

Arbiter of vengeance: Passive, with AR weight reduction at the end.

Fitness

Made the class myself. Extrasensory would very much make the game fun/more interesting

actually no they was not go play me1 again please they gave lore on the queen was found in derelict a space freighter as a egg when founded lore her all perfectly good since it dealt with me1..

now for the collector ship we only assumed that there wasn't another ship out there that harby could hide from us and or maybe it came from darkspace since the collectors are in fact protheans husks, so that lore is ok to some degree since harby could in fact make husk clones of as we saw in me 2 when they was adding dna to the collector that how we found out that protheans was re purposed to fit the use of the reapers.. and they never even said there was another ship we always thought there was only one bioware never said there could be another ship

now for me 3 rachni queen they even stated that she was recaptured/cloned and made to  give birth to those ravagers hence why she attacks you if you didnt  not save her in me1..

see where i am going with this

Right, and Shepard told Javik he was the last of the Protheans--Does this mean that every prothean stasis pod in existence has been found, and the Prothean inside was dead? There's nothing in the lore that explicitly states that's it's a 100% impossibility to find another Prothean; it's highly unlikely, but so was Shepard coming back from the dead. I have no issue with people arguing that it cheapens the lore surrounding Javik, but to say that it's impossible...that's simply not true.

 i already covered that part read the part where i said if cererbus found another pod...

and yes it does actually lore wise and javik and shep are the lore that was written for the protheans and secondly i would think javik would know where the bases are since he was in the military of the prothean army{ only thing they didnt tell them was about ilos and told them that the pods was all dead due Virgil trying to conserve power..

and i understand where you are coming from but if they was to find a working stasis pod dont you think the reapers would want that pod gone remember on sanctuary they practically told them where they was and what they was doing by trying to make husk for themselves and for the fact that illusive man cant hide his secrets from the reapers anyways since he was theirs even before his full indocination came about due his experiments with himself..

Your reasoning against Prothean can be explained away just as easily as your are doing here. The arguments against Protheans in MP are flimsy at best.

Yes.  The writers can write whatever they want.  Nothing is ruled out.  If an egg centuries old can be found on a derelict ship then there could be several statsis pods on uncharted worlds.  Hell, they could use Javik's memory shard or some newly discovered beacon that takes you to them.

actually no they was not go play me1 again please they gave lore on the queen was found in derelict a space freighter as a egg when founded lore her all perfectly good since it5 deal with me1..

now for the collector ship we only assumed that there wasn't another ship out there that harby could hide from us and or maybe it came from darkspace since the collectors are in fact protheans husks, so that lore is ok to some degree since harby could in fact make husk clones of as we saw in me 2 when they was adding dna to the collector that how we found out that protheans was re purposed to fit the use of the reapers.. and they never even said there was another ship we always thought there was only one bioware never said there could be another ship


Right, and Shepard told Javik he was the last of the Protheans--Does this mean that every prothean stasis pod in existence has been found, and the Prothean inside was dead? There's nothing in the lore that explicitly states that's it's a 100% impossibility to find another Prothean; it's highly unlikely, but so was Shepard coming back from the dead. I have no issue with people arguing that it cheapens the lore surrounding Javik, but to say that it's impossible...that's simply not true.


 i already covered that part read the part where i said if cererbus found another pod...



Apologies for missing that part, I suppose essentially I'm agreeing with your point, that most of this stuff is only ASSUMED to be the way it is, and can easily be retconned in the lore.

If the protheans had a successful stasis program that had enough survivors to provide soldiers for this war they would have awoken sooner and would be running the galaxy. Javik's pod was damaged and couldn't be opened without outside assistance. He wasn't supposed to be in stasis that long. The Ilos team actually had a few survive until the reapers had left but not enough for the race to repopulate and they are assumed to have died on the Citadel sabotaging the keepers. While I'm sure their could have been other protheans in stasis the chances of there being a sizeable fighting force who all happen to have a malfunctioning timer and a good enough power supply to last 50,000 years seem slim.

That said, if Bioware decide it is aceptable to add them I wont complain and I will play them. I just think it would be an unlikely move from a company that prides itself on story driven games. Especially since they have already decided to have a prothean turn up and didn't take the opportunity then to even hint at the chance of more. Quite the opposite, they hammered home the concept of him being the last voice of the protheans.

tl;dr I don't actually care either way but I think it unlikely to ever happen.
