They knew nothing more or less about the Relays, Reapers or the Citadel then Shepard did. Their tech was based of stuff left behind from other species in other cycles. At first it's assumed all tech in the universe is Protehan but lateron we find out it's actually a mix match of other species much older then the Protheans, like Omega.
The statues on Ilos indicate the tech on Ilos was left behind from another race. It could be the Protheans were no more advanced then humanity but by chance 12 of their scientists happened to survive. They didn't have any advanced tech or knowledge and all the tech found in the universe assumed to be Prothean is actuall from other species.
Yet again you assume the Protheans are the key to getting more information about the Reapers becasue you want them to be important. While YOU personally want this, there is no basis for this and story wise they can write just about anything they want without involving the Protheans.
Did not see this post.
You might want to fact check those points before posting them.
* Protheans were a space fearing species who lived 50.000 years ago, (True)
* they dind't build the relays and they didn't build the Citadel, (Half True. Protheans had in fact, begun building thier own relays, such as the miniture relay on the Citidel.)
* their technology was mostly based on stuff left behind from other species from other cycles, (Unclear. It's made appearent that they extensivly reverse engineered the Mass Relays and Citidel, but ther other technologies seem to bare little resembelence to reaper tech.)
* they were the last victims of this cycle which is going on, (Actually they would ahve been the last victims of the previous cycle, but I digress)
* they were attacked by the Reapers, (true)
*
because of problems of harvesting them the Reapers re purposed them as
the collectors and they now serve/used to serve the Reapers. (first part: reasonable assumption Second Part: true to a degree. There are other possible locations for Prothean survivors.)
* Shepard wiped them out in ME2.(Shepard wiped out the Collectors, who were basically Prothean husks. And, again, there are possible loaations for more Prothean survivors)
And, how do any of them make hte Protheans any less important to the story? That fact they were able to do this suggests they understand reaper technology t oa much higher degree then existing species.
I don't see, for example, asari experts or human engineers building working mass relays.
You (sneeringly) imply that I think they should be important becasue I want them to be important. Granted, I do think they should be important, however, your position that Shepard now equals thier knowlege of the reapers is not nessicarilly true. Given that their war with the reapers appearently lasted quite a while, even a regular soldier would have insights that Shep might not have about previously unencountered forms of reaper tech.
it's obvious you haven't read the books because some of the things you said are handled in the books. It's nowhere implied that the conduite is built by the Protheans, liek I said the statues on Ilos imply the facilities there were bult by another species before the Prothean. As explained in the books and as seen on Omega, most Prothean tech comes from others.
Read the books then come back.
