people just want them for the "throw out the airlock" power but that will be so OP or useless wich why its never going to happen, might as well add commander shepard to multi as a more likely characters as human genetic a bit more easially replicated rather then 1 of a kind javik or already genetic altered collector

Do the multiplayer Protheans at least call everybody primitives, including their teammates?

Them not doing that would be more of an outrage than the lore thing, honestly.

Best.

Ever.

It would just be fun to play, and not unjustifiable in Lore if Bioware decides they want to write them in (they've already left themselves plenty of openings).

Pointless discussion is pointless. If Bioware decides to give us primitives some Prothean classes, i'll play them.

I understand those guys who love Javik (i do too) and want to play as a Prothean. Let them ask for it. Telling them over and over again that it's highly unlikely going to happen and that there are very few things Bioware could use to bring back the Prothean race, won't help anybody.

To be honest, I don't want them in MP. They'll just make Javik and his story seem less important. (I can't think of the right word. Image IPB) But, this isn't about that.

If they add Protheans, all they will be is a new skin, new voice, possibly new powers or just old ones.

Will that REALLY make the game that much better? You're dividing a community in two. (Pro-lore and anti-lore. Lol Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is teaching me so much about civil wars.)

People will just get bored of them and see them as just another class. Others will get mad and rage that they are breaking lore. (Again, to be honest, adding Protheans isn't breaking lore because Bioware creates the lore. They can make it rain ponies on Palaven and we can't say anything about it since it's their game.)

tl;dr: Protheans are just a character skin that will not be worth the trouble.

Finally! Someone else understands, they'd be a waste of credits if you ask me. All you're getting, as mentioned above, are maybe a new power or two, a new skin, and a new voice.

IAnd for anyone who says anything about their biotics. t's basically green biotics, no difference. <_<

Bring em on. Game came out many months ago and this will probably be the final chance for Protheans to be added for fun(which is the whole point of this).

I don't think it's right to bring an extinct species back to life to fight the enemy that killed them. Let them rest in peace.

Collectors were brought into and cloned in dark space. The collectors were to play the role of janitors and clean up pockets of resistance. Apparently though the collectors came in early though and are right at the frontlines with the marauders and cannibals.

Anything that will breathe life into MP. To me, ME3 MP is great, but it can't help but get boring and I don't want to see it die..


A new salarian would bring life to the MP as well, and wouldn't be rpoblematic. Plus, Bioware is criative, after turians with jetpack, they can do anythin to keep this MP alive, the MP don't need a prothean...

To be perfectly honest, as anti-Prothean as I am, if they were added, I wouldn't even say a thing. I'd just view it as a fun experience (and a new one if they did it right).

I mean no offense, but wasn't the majority of this argument also used against the Volus? Especially the part about their inclusion being a divisive point within the fanbase.


A lot of arguments were used against the inclusion of the Volus:

- Not known for their combat ability. Known for being explosive when shot, instead.
- Ridiculousness. Think of that Biotic God meme, Volus stature/animations, etc.
- More work could've been put into other Retaliation characters instead

I'm sure there are at least a few other problems people had with them being included, but there's a huge difference between Protheans and Volus. Protheans are extinct, Volus are not. Adding more Protheans would:

-Trivialize Javik's character/story
-Make Reapers seem incompetent. The fate of the Protheans serves as an example of what could happen should Shepard fail. If there's even a slim chance for a few hundred thousand to survive the Harvest, the Reapers will no longer be the threat they are.
-Add almost nothing to the story, unless they survived in such a way that their memories were intact.

Again, I'm sure there are other valid reasons. I'd like to see someone come up with a list as to why they should be included, though. They only difference between a Prothean MP character and a new Adept with the same powers would be the Voice and Character model. Is there really this much butthurt over the novelty of playing as a Prothean? Why not campaign for better quality characters for the future instead (new powers/appearances for all)?

The reason for me wanting Protheans in MP is because I'm a Javik fanboy, which in turn makes me a Prothean fanboy.

But they're dead. Long dead. Bringing them back en masse to fight the enemy who killed them doesn't sound odd to you?

Who says we're asking for an army of Protheans?

It's what you'd need to explain the hundreds of thousands of Protheans across all three systems. Or did you think we'd get three and have the community share them?

Considering how the MP has no narrative or effect on the story, I dont see how it matters.

I agree that adding protheans would be underwhelming. Reskinned model, reskinned powers. Meh.

Pretty much the only problem I have with Retaliation. Anyway, though MP has no narrative/little effect on SP, it is still bound by what could happen in SP. If you'll notice, every character we've recieved thus far can be found as a War Asset.

You mean the same way we share maps as a community?  How many different instances of Firebase White are allowed at one time?  But White is just one location so how can different groups play the same map at the same time?

It will give everyone another reason to **** and moan. And we'll see hundreds of "I'll be kicking Protheans from my matches" threads, similar to the Volus ones, and then those who start said threads, will unlock the character and then be all over it saying it's so awesome and whatnot...

Really not needed. Another reason for people to complain? No thanks.
