Oh the suspense! the anticipation! the extra money we have to give to EA for this! Live Protheans! Or maybe just one, since they were all supposed have been wiped out by giant armored space squids.
Apparently, some curious players of the Mass Effect 3 demo have also unearthed a series of sound files that pertain to the alleged Prothean member:
The voice seems like a cross between an African accent mixed with Protoss speech. At least they now resemble the Collectors, instead of those tentacle-faced Cthulu wannabes. Sadly, you’ll have to pay separate for this character as a DLC.

you mean probably buy the collectors edition that comes with a “bonus” character or it’s gonna be a DLC like lair of the shadowbroker.
or buy one of the $870 worth of “merchandise” that gives DLC codes.
Edit:

Been confirmed
COLLECTORS EDITION ONLY.
I knew that my extra $20 was going towards something decent extra over the regular edition lol.
This angers me so much.
didn’t get a “collectors” edition? lol
and it’s $10 for people that got the regular edition.
DONT YOU DARE JUSTIFY IT KILLER DONT YOU FING DARE
anyway yep EA just went full on scumbag with this thing
Hey. I GOT MY MOTHER FUCKING ROBOTIC DOG FOR MY NORMANDY. THAT ITSELF IS WORTH THE EXTRA $20 FOR THE COLLECTORS EDITION.
and anyways, i bet it’s gonna be something not relevant to the main story or extra like all the DLC characters was in mass effect 2…
just because it’s a prothean doesn’t mean that it’s gonna be a long ass or kind of interesting story arc like the lair of the shadowbroker…
and besides… i get around 4000 MS points a year free so i could care less about the price of DLC since i never actually pay money for them lol.
you… you just justified it, I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOUR SHAM
YOU CANT FOOL MEEEEE!!!1!!1!111111!!!
I WANTED A MOTHER FUCKING ROBOTIC DOG OK?
and my final justification was that i would have gotten it for free if i did not get the collectors edition to play as a collector.
NOOOOOO BLARGH!!!!!!
i wasnt even being serious IDK if you were, but ye
Looks like we hit the end of the reply button lol.
but ya. I wasn’t being serious lol.
It’s stupid to push out day one DLC that’s not cosmetic or has nothing to do with the game or free to everyone.
I think in this case, it was because the DLC character is a prothean that started the backlash (especially since it’s the protheans that they talk about so mother fucking much every fucking game without saying much about it)
I bet if they threw this out like a month later (still free to collectors edition and $10 to everyone else), there would be no online backlash at all lol.
EA is evil and so are you for supporting them. More evil than Ming the merciless
Heh, you guys managed to reach the threading limit for comments. Congrats everyone! 😀 If I increase it anymore, well I am afraid if someone puts a youtube video in there it might not fit? 😛 So, yeah I could increase it, but it might break something else hehe.
Hopefully, this character doesn’t ruin it for those who don’t want to spend the extra doe. It’s a protean though. It’s like you almost have to get it :(. Why EA? Why are so greedy?
They said that it’s not essential to the main story of the game. it’s mostly universe side lore and etc. (bet the main story doesn’t even have live protheans or collectors in it lol)
“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.”
i mean… if you’re a big fan of the game… you probably got the collectors edition… since they usually add something extra like the art book, making of DVD that adds to the lore of the games. (which i think no one ever watches, I’ve only ever watched the halo 2’s making of DVD lol)
and the fact that they said:
– “From Ashes” includes the Prothean squad mate, an adventure on Eden Prime, a new weapon, and an alternate appearance for every squad mate. Note that these alternate appearances are in addition to the ones already advertised in the CE.
Hell… I don’t see people complaining about Arrival DLC since you need to pay and play that DLC to even know why earth was the first to be invaded and why you’re on earth not in the military… the beginning of Mass Effect 3 doesn’t make sense if you didn’t play the Arrival DLC. (imo, making arrival a DLC is a bigger shame than the protheans character DLC… arrival dlc should have been included on the game… since without it, the start 3rd game doesn’t make sense)
and not playing arrival does ruin mass effect 3.
I’m a long time fan, but I usually don’t buy collectors edition because I don’t really care about an art book or sound. I do however care about certain in game content that includes a character that had been a crucial story element.
As for the arrival DLC, yeah I never got it so that sucks as well. I think Mass Effect DLC such as the arrival is somewhat worth it, but making people shell out extra from the get go before the game even comes out is what upsets me. Either way I am not a big fan of DLC to begin with. Even DLC that’s worth it makes me second guess myself :P.
How is releasing a game with no ending (Mass effect 2 main quest end isn’t a ending…) and then forced to buy a DLC to actually have a real ending that connects to the next game better than Day one DLC on a side lore/character that’s got nothing to do with the main story???
Yeah, like said, it sucks. Ubisoft did that with that cell shaded POP game as well. However, just because this CE DLC may not seem as bad doesn’t mean people can’t get angry over it either way :P.
