To me, it's unquestionable that we shouldn't hate on the then-present Utraeans. Not only were they most likely not the people who imprisoned or created them, but they seem to realize the mistakes they've made (at least some do... I don't really recall what many of them said to be honest). As bare_elf and iryan said, they were an arrogant race, which is likely why you don't ever see them in the following games, as they are most likely extinct.

While, yes, Utraeans seem to be the only race mentioned in the timeline at the time that were like this, the Cinbri weren't necessarily any more evil the Humans, Elves, Dryads or the Utraens. I think it really comes down to there only being a very few evil races; the mysterious Shadowjumper and the Seck. The Seck seem to have no redeeming qualities about themselves, as they hardly seem to have a culture that surrounds 'civil' things. I'm pretty sure it's said that the Seck were from the darkness and/or Hell anyway. As to what the Shadowjumper is, I can't seem to recall it having ever been specified, but I can't seem to recall him having any motives I can relate to, unless you count wanting to destroy Aranna because of the Utraeans sealing him away... But even then, I'm pretty sure they sealed him away because he was an evil being.

Ultimately, I don't think the Utraeans are too much worse then the other races during their time, and after their existence/era. They simply were too much of a flawed group of beings that they couldn't survive for as long as the other races have.

Come to think of it, considering Humans seem to be older than Half-Giants, Dryads and Morden, why don't they seem to get recognition of their now ancient ancestry? What happened to the other awesome races in DS3? I can understand the Morden and Dryads dying out, but what about the Agallans and the Half-Giants? Did they die out due to their lack of breeding, or am I forgetting something about the story that Dungeon Siege III adds/presents to the players?
