Then you haven't paid much attention to the details. Questions 2, 3 and a bit of 6 are answered. In ME1 it says both that they were the only spacefaring race and that there were others (you can find them by reading some Uncharted Worlds' descriptions, although they could also be from a Reaper harvesting prior to the Protheans...although pretty unlikely having in mind we would be talking about 100.000 years).

And about the Protheans...they've been destroyed twice, first by the Reapers, second by Shepard destroying/purging the Collector Base, so I think it'd be time to put them down and leave them in peace. Only exception would be the completion somehow of Shepard's vision, and some surprises that would come with it. i'd certainly like that.

And please, no "living Protheans". It'd be as cheap as a sci-fi resource as it could be.

Please no living Protheans!  The Protheans played their part in ME1.  I would rather have the current races find their own way to defeat the Reapers.

I think its not outwith the realm of possibility that the Protheans could return in some form. We know that a handful made it to the Citadel but very little is known about their happenings afterwards. These Protheans were scientists after all so the possibility of breeding and gene therapy to remove deleterious genes as well as cloning could leave us with a small population on a planet. The other more likely scenario is that they have moved to a planet and entered stasis again, this time without having to remain undetected. I do hope the whole deal with the Prottheans gets a proper wrap up but not in a way that detracts from the current races battle against the Reapers.

The 'So what' for me was that, given their interest in capturing humans alive, it gave a dark suspicion for what the Reapers plans for humanity might be.

Again, "So what?" We already had some same suspicions already. Learning that the Reapers modify organicss to serve them was not a new revelation. That's why the twist in ME2 is both uninteresting and unnecesssary.

We knew they modified organics. We didn't know they could do it like that. There's a difference between turning humans into zombies and perverting an entire species' evolution to make them into a race of permanent slaves.

If it didn't do anything for you, fine. I thought it was a testament to how far the Reapers are willing to go in enslaving organics. You're not just fighting to save the universe from death, but to save it from a fate worse than death. It's especially disturbing, because the Reapers probably didn't need to do that to the Protheans. They probably could have made a race of synthetics to suit their needs, or built something else from scratch, modified some lesser race. It's almost like they did it to the Protheans just to twist the knife.

This is what I'm talking about.  The Reapers are galactic bastards of the highest order and my Shepard is going to annihilate them in ME3.

it seems like ME3 is returning to ME1's roots a lot more than ME2. Returning ME1 squaddies, returning to ME1 locations, as well as known Prothean sites (mars etc).

so its possible that they will have a role to play, or at least be featured a bit more heavily than in ME2. I hated that they were hardly mentioned in ME2. EA's fault methinks.

[littlezack]

Not everything is EA's fault.

The Protheans played a big role in ME1, but they can only go so far. If they had some big secret to defeating the Reapers, they would have defeated the Reapers. They're done,end of story.

Mmmm... Maybe is just me but I think the hanars say less than they know.

[wizardryforever]

Well I would like to know what the significance of the Prothean artifact from the Firewalker missions is.  The log you find says that the Collectors were willing to bargain for it.  They agreed not to hit a specific colony in exchange for it.  That indicates that it is valuable in some way, and potentially damaging to the Reapers.  I think that, even if it is just that one thing, the Protheans are not out of the story.

I hope they don't find some Prothean superweapon that was on the verge of completion.  I have a feeling that is what's going to happen, though.

I feel as thought after the collectors , the Protheans are completley empty on in game importance.

I want to know more about them. Here is a list over time I have complied.

What was their homeworld? Is it even in this Galaxy?
Why couldn't the Reapers use them for a new Reaper?
What did they acually look like?
Does bioware plan on telling us more about them or was their depth only as far as what happened to them in the collector sense.
Was the collector base really a collector consturct or perhaps a redesigned Prothean ship, station, etc.
What did they know about us and the hannar & other species they studied?
Were they really the only spacefaring species(sounds hard to beleive)
Did they war? Were they a strickly scientitst race due to their physcial strucutre of tentcals or what we seem to know what they might look like?


Do you guys feel like the Protheans have no other say in this series & now that we know what happened to them and why they are no longer any value to us?


I am really hoping they are included in this series.

My guess is that allot of thes questions are going to be answered in ME3. We have now ay to beat the Reapers. Even witha combined fleet of all the different species in the galaxy, we will lose in an all out assault. I'm hoping that there's something that the Protheans possibly left for us, like the BEacons, that might help us find a weakness in the Reapers.

They have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. They should be forgotten.

Well we did allegedly blown them all up at the end of 2. I think Illos was their home world, and though they're gone I'd still like to find their beacons. I know we're going to the Mars base they had and hopefully we can interact with a few beacons in there that tell of the various projects they undertook at that base and linking projects at other bases. I'd also like to see what they did to the caveman sense I think he was altered and a beacon should contain the project data on him.

[Han Shot First]

Ilos was a Prothean world, but it wasn't the Prothean home world.

Remember, Ilos managed to stay hidden from the Reapers. The Protheans there wouldn't have been able to keep their homeworld secret.

[Leoism]

I disagree, they couldn't make a reaper in the essence of a prothean so they re-purposed them to make a new reaper in the human image, Made perfect sense to me personally . By the way the keepers were re-purposed pre protheans and again are completly different from what they probably looked like.

[daigakuinsei]

We're going to Mars in ME3, where we found the Prothean ruins. I have a feeling the Protheans have something more to contribute than Vigil and the Collectors.
