Mass Effect 2: 10 Cut Characters You Never Knew About

10. The Lost Hologram

Some of the most interesting cut characters stem from the AI relationship with organic beings. Envisioned as a damaged Prothean Hologram, possibly looking like a midway between Vigil and Vendetta, the hologram would have revealed a civil rights movement within the Prothean Empire.

As the Protheans were such an imperialistic society, the idea of a civil rights movement is not a farfetched concept, especially considering human history. However, as the hologram is described as a genuine Prothean, the civil rights movement could have originated within the ruling class (possibly a small group) rather than the oppressed.

Within the interview, it was mentioned that the Hologram's wish to be treated equally would have been a source of comic relief for the crew of the Normandy. The interview didn't say if the humour stemmed from the Hologram still campaigning against the Protheans long past their extinction, or if the idea of equal rights for an AI was funny.

If the latter, then that might have been really uncomfortable considering the history of the Geth, and would've been even worse if Legion was still a squad mate. However, it would have made for some interesting conversations within the Normandy.
