Things wrong:
1. They turned the Forerunners into a race of xenophobic xenocidal maniacs.
2. Humanity was butt[REDACTED] by said maniacs.
3. The Forerunners apparently wiped out the Precursors. Though given The Prisoner LIES...
1. when was it ever stated what they were socially before cryptum though? all we knew of them were ruins
Before, the Forerunners were benevolent, caring, upholding the "Mantle".
Cryptum came along, said "SCREW THE MANTLE", and turned the Forerunners into rabid dogs.
That was what the Covenant said about the Forerunners, everything the Covenant believed was a lie. There was nothing at all saying they were the wise, kind old grandfathers of the galaxy.
I thought it could have been inferred that the Forerunner were a bit authoritarian anyway, before Cryptum was written.
L: The Mantle. You still hold to
that [fairy tale] after all that
has happened? After this thing has
consumed a million worlds?
Can't you see? Belief in the Mantle
sealed our doom! Weakened our
[protectorates], bred dependence and
sloth. Our [so-called Guardianship]
has stripped those we would keep
safe of any capacity for
self-defense!
I doubt everyone would have been happy with surrendering their independence to the Forerunner.
