Forum:Anyone else disappointed by Javik?

...Because I certainly was. I mean, c'mon, a prothean should have done much better. Some of his conversation embody the reason why humanity invented a facepalm. I'll elaborate:

1. A living prothean.
 * My reaction: so Vigil was bs-ing me? Sure, the devs avoided any retcons and came up with a logical explanation to why he's alive, but still it's a bit weird for me.

2. "I am a warrior, an avatar of vengeance"
 * My reaction: so I just got another gun? F*ck you very much, I don't need another gun, I have plenty of them. What I need, is your knowledge. But you turned out to have an IQ score of 0.9, and answer the question of "how to defeat the Reapers?" with "fight them with all your resolve". Like I don't know it, you useless fossil. He could have at least mentioned, that asari were so vastly uplifted by the protheans. Then Liara, who surpassed her "uplifter" by actually having brains, could have figured out, that something was strange about the temple of Athame, and we could get to prothean VI much much earlier, then Cerberus did. Millions of deaths, happening on Earth, Palaven, and other places on a daily basis could have been averted. The devastation of Thessia could have been averted. But no, this idiot preferred to sit in Grunt's room an "wished to be alone".

3. After I brokered peace between the quarians and the geth, he tells me "diplomacy doesn't win wars, weapons win wars".
 * My reaction: your civilization relied solely on weapons and went extinct, in case you have forgotten. My civilization uses diplomacy, and gathers as much allies as we can. That's why we're not extinct.

4. During the conversation with Liara on Thessia, he says, that "we had put high hopes on asari, but you failed"
 * My reaction: failed? FAILED??? Their race is still alive, your race is not. So who failed?

5. He states, that the whole project of putting a bunch of protheans in stasis was sabotaged by indoctrinated agents.
 * My reaction: try come to come up with a solid proof, that you are not indoctrined. Because it pretty much looks like that. Forsaking allies, destroying friendly synthetics and some other of Javik's advice benefits the Reapers, actually. Consider: Reapers would have trolled the next cycle epically, if they'd indoctrinated someone you expect to aid you in fighting them, so he may screw you up with "sound" (sarcasm) advice.

6. "Toss the machine out of the airlock".
 * My reaction: you'd sh*t bricks if I told you, that EDI is made out of Reaper code, but I won't, since in that case I'd have to toss you out of the airlock. Javik does not seem to understand, that like organics fight organics, machines fight machines too. She's with us.

7. All this rant about how apparently primitive this cycle's species are...
 * My reaction: so humans lived in caves, eh? At least they had something in common with present-day you: IQ level.

Conclusion: Prothie the Prothean isn't an avatar of vengeance, he's an avatar of idiocy. Any thoughts?-Algol- 08:37, March 19, 2012 (UTC)
