The forerunners were much more interesting to me before the auxiliary material started exploring them. Now I guess the Precursors are supposed to fill that void of mystery, but that leaves me feeling a bit like the mark in a game of three-card Monte.

I enjoyed the fiction behind the Forerunners, but I admit that the conclusion of Silentium was... disappointing and unsatisfying in many ways. Greg Bear's trilogy took away much of the awe and wonder of both the Forerunners and the Precursors for me. (This is through no fault of Mr. Bear, of course, who is an excellent and fine writer. It's more of a commentary on the quality of the source material.)
