Javik is the Prothean equivalent of Doom Slayer.
So the Protheans were…facists?
In ME 1 and 2 I had such a different perception on my mind of what the protheans would be, culture-wise. They ended up being total jerks. Well done Bioware.
The statues we meet on Ilos in ME1 were originally supposed to be the Protheans, but had to retract the lore when they made the Collectors
Intelligent life*!
So really, “green ending” Shepard is forcibly assimilating races just like the Protheans.
you missed the part where the protheans reprogramed the caretakers on the citadel so they would ignore the reaper call.
Alternative name for the Protheans:
The British Empire
They could easily have their own trilogy.
The protheans are bascialy the forerunners from halo but with a roman mindset
I never like the whole "this is why they lost" every species in countless cycles lose because the citadel period. No structure no way of mixing up strategies nothing would of helped protheans win after reapers came through the Citadel unannounced.
“Wet your appetite and get you nice and warm” oh gamespot make sure you wine and dine me first!
Inusannon pronunciation was horrible Javik literally says it “In-you-San-nan” and you said “inn ooo-san-an”
Not trying to be that guy but it sounds like somebody trying to read it and say it without having played the games to know how it’s properly pronounced 🤷🏻♂️
The reapers were just trying to clear pops so the game doesn't lag too much and cause the player to restart a new galaxy.
Javik was WAY too important to be a DLC. He added so much to the game and EA treated him like he was another Zaeed.
Crazy to think the Protheans were just another in a long line of advanced species harvested by the Reapers
Prothean reminds me a lot of Romans.
My favorite one it's a side conversation where he says Garrus is a good sniper imagine what he would be with four eyes
Any of you played and had the party in “ME 3”? Talk to grunt! You and him get into a strange conversation
No. It’s not the rigid structure of Protheans. I believe it’s because the Alliance defeated Sovereign.
"Reaper, a label created by the Protheans to give voice to their destruction. In the end what they chose to call us is irrelevant, we simply are."
Love,
Sovereign
I wonder if they'll be a decision to explore a Mass Effect spin-off during the Prothean cycle, fleshing out the possibilities we've learnt so far to be fleshed out and give us further insight to the races of that cycle? Or if they leave it as it is; thinking that would defeat the purpose of the cycle of extinction leaving so little evidence behind that it'd weaken the mysteries of the galaxy? Either way, the Prothean empire sounds interesting in how it evolved and died.
"Rakphiili", I've never heard of this extinct race, what do you know about them?
it wouldve been funny for javik to be a unindotrinated keeper
Alot of people say they are fascist, would that be accurate or people just calling the fascist just cuz they think they are the same
