jules the great Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) This was one of the first missions I did and I used the Prothean on ONE side mission. Never really saw any value with using him instead of Liara or Garrus or even James. Anyone see any value? Am I missing something here regarding his usefulness?

CKK Salvation Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This was one of the first missions I did and I used the Prothean on ONE side mission. Never really saw any value with using him instead of Liara or Garrus or even James. Anyone see any value? Am I missing something here regarding his usefulness? I kept him for my whole first playthrough. He adds a lot of interesting dialogue. Has some funny things to say. But purely on combat efficiency, ya we have better options than him imo.

Guest Scotty Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 ive used him quite a bit, just because i find him interesting. i also love the fact that bioware created dialogue for him and others regarding him throughout the game, they could have just been lazy and kept him quiet in cutscenes, but people interact with him because he's obviously unique.

JuSt BLaZe Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I use JAVIK everytime. Gotta luv his cool comments. His PARTICLE RIFLE is just badass. UNLIMITED AMMO for everyone what do you want more. Also his biotic power DARK CHANNEL is quite useful. Not to mention that his weapon and power are all EXCLUSIVES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuVioN Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I have been using him and liking him quite a bit over Liara. His Dark channel has a fast recharge time and works great. He also starts with a assault rifle over Liaras pistol. I do enjoy his comments in conversations, he has a dark/negative comment for everything.

mickjsg Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I really like him. His comments so far have really cracked me up. Plus that particle weapon of his is class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTGMx INF3RNO Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hes the best member by far. And his dialogue is amazing. Ive not stopped using him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIR BLOBBY Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 i used him quite a bit, but only because the overall squad given to you was weak Only liked Garrus & Liara, Ashley pisses me off, james felt like some forced military sterotype, EDI was more for shock which was interesting but i didn't like her as a squad member & tali died after i sided with the geth Squad was pretty rubbish this time round tbh, only salvaged by my true love of Garrus lmao, been my main squad member through all playthroughs Javik was good compared to the rest. would have happily traded him for a Krogan though pissed there was no Krogan squad member Fucking love the Krogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final1980 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I am with Blaze while Javik isn't the best fighter his particle beam weapon and dark channel are amazingly devistating weapons to use. The unlimited ammo is something I will think about when it comes to my insane playthrough, but for anything less I stuck mainly with Garrus and Liara.

Ehrenfried Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yes, liked the DLC even if it was short, and he was so damn icecold funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekikire Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 As a soldier I've done most of the game with either Liara and Javik. Occasionally pulling out Liara and EDI if I knew I was up against geth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburok Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Jahvik ended up adding like 3/4ths of the new, previously unexplained lore to this game. Glad I used him. It would have been boring had I not downloaded him at all. He seemed to be intricately woven in to the game's design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gollywoggins Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I used him in maybe 2 missions, I think I was a little too attached to Garrus, Tali, and Liara because I've used them for so long. I will probably use him in future playthroughs once I set up a decent profile for it. Turns out the profiles I had available for import didn't do any DLC in ME2 and had some interesting choices that ruined a lot of dialogue for me.

MASS DOMINATION Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I brought him on a few mission but I was too loyal to liara and garrus to not pick them. Plus actually really liked EDI and found her pretty useful in battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunterking Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Unlike most here I did not use him at all. I've played my 1st playthrough with Liara/Vega/EDI I found my adept to be invincible teamed up with Liara. Used Vega as a tank soaking up bullets for us. EDI came in handy with her distraction as well. I found our Prothean to be an annoying pain with no respect for others unless set straight by Shepard. I should have sided with Joker and call him "Prothy the Prothean" and eject him out of the airlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejay Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I used him until I got Ashley back. A lot of funny comments scattered around and is pretty handy to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTGMx INF3RNO Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My squad was garrus and javik then ashley and javik when she came back. I recommend on a second run have him at all times just for his dialogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upindat Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Same here. kinda worthless. Dont thank this dlc was worth the ms points in my op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate42 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I used Javik a few times, he's okay but yah in combat there are better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTGMx INF3RNO Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I used Javik a few times, he's okay but yah in combat there are better options. Nonono Hes the best by far. His weapon is amazing and his dark channel is very good. On top of that he has pull and slam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate42 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Nonono Hes the best by far. His weapon is amazing and his dark channel is very good. On top of that he has pull and slam! My Vanguard Shepard also has pull and slam. I dig Dark Channel, true, reminds me of Reave in ME2 which was by and far my favourite power. That particle rifle was impressive. He's definitely useful in a fight but for the way I play with Vanguard, having Liara's Warp and EDI's Overload/Incendiary combo always worked better for me, made short work of just about everything.

xTGMx INF3RNO Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I use a solider but in me2 reave was my bonus. Kicked ass. I have slam this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremeRugburn Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I use him about half the time, when I go against Reapers. His powers are effective and I have fun using them. I like his rifle too, he vaporizes mobs quite often with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
