I totally understand not retaining knowledge of certain things, but what you said is like someone watching Lord of the Rings, saying they liked it, then a year after watching it asking "Who's that Frodo character again?" Hahaha.
Bit different as Frodo's on screen for most of the film, while the Protheons are only ever mentioned. But it's a shame someone can't like something and forget facts about it. I'd think it would be a good thing that I can play the game again and experiance it anew. Apparently not.
It could also be because you don't actually see the Protheans. It's easier to remember something you've seen, than something you've only heard about.

I think what it comes down to is that it seems JasonBurnout16 didn't really invest in the story and world of Mass Effect, at least not to the point where they retained significant knowledge of it later. I'm guessing they just had fun playing the game and that was that.
I wouldn't say that's a bad thing ether. I enjoyed the game, went out and brought the books and enjoyed those too. It wasn't the best game I ever played or the worst but I had fun with it. And that should be what matters in the end.
Now if you asked me about a Dragon Age game you could recieve the entire lore.
