I didn't say its imposible. Just that it would be bad writing from BW if they suddenly make protheans return. If some of them survived(about 10 if I remember correctly) where were they for the last 50000 years? But if BW can bring them back with a cool explanation, I would love to see them.
Description of Zayarter from ME1: "Three times in the last century, ships stopping to discharge
at Treyarmus reported geometric patterns of lights on the dark side of
Zayarter. Attempts at further investigation proved fruitless; the lights
disappear when ships approach the inner system."
It's as if maybe some sort of civilization which settled on Zayarter is trying to hide itself from any sort of outside contact. Like maybe due to a race of sentient machines that almost wiped out their entire species after receiving a warning from Vigil through the beacon, even.
Bioware could do it, and it wouldn't have to be bad writing at all--in fact, it may even be what they've intended from the beginning, for all we know. Even if Zayarter isn't the place, it's entirely possible that there were survivors, and that they chose to rebuild their civilization in a safe place. If they picked up the survivors on the Citadel somehow, that would make even more sense--they would know the whole story, and realize that future organic civilizations would probably be safe--but they would almost certainly want to hide themselves just in case something out there was still watching which could betray them to the machines; in case they might accidentally allow the indoctrinated into their midst and destroy everything all over again. Maybe they felt "we've done our part; now we need to focus on recovery and safety for our own people." Maybe the Protheans of today are highly xenophobic, or merely agoraphobic as a sort of necessity of survival.
I think it's entirely possible, even probable that some are alive. And I would love to meet them, because even if they look weird (and they wouldn't look like the Collectors, of course--maybe not even like the original Protheans) they are so awesome as a species. I felt a deep personal connection to them, and a gratitude for giving the organic species of the galaxy a chance, not knowing if they themselves would even survive. What an amazing thing, to be connected to a species which disappeared 50,000 years ago.
I like the idea that we might convince the Protheans' descendants to come out of hiding and help us face the Reapers. I'm hoping it's exactly what happens.
