But it makes no sense. If Shepard was in fact indoctrinated, he would have been trying to help the reapers but would have thought it was the right thing. He would not still be trying to stop them. That *and* if he actually was indoctrinated the whole time, how the hell is it than when he wakes up, the reapers are miraculously defeated? I'd rather space magic because at least space magic is powerful enough to destroy something like the reapers. All of the galaxy's fleets are not strong enough to defeat the reapers through force alone. There has to be a loop hole. And they found out what the catalyst was but didn't know yet how to utilize it yeah? So I don't see a crucible as the loophole unless there's a really good explanation for how it managed to defeat the reapers with Shepard working for the reapers simultaneously. It adds more plot holes than we already have, and it's stupid. That's my rant for today.
Here's how I see it:
As Shepard charges towards the beam, all is normal until that 'laser' harbinger shoots is directed at Shepard. The reality of the whole matter is when Shepard entered the outer layer of the ring system, he and his two squadmates were teleported onto the citadel, the teleporter having a much bigger radius than one sees, but what happened was Harbinger attempted to indoctrinate him in the very fast teleportation cycle. Depending on your galatic readiness (We'll say that Shepard's morale has something to do with it, after all, getting resources to help the galaxy surely boosts his morale?), he either resists, succumbs to the full indoctrination, or has his mind shattered so badly he is considered brain-dead (Based on the choices you make there).
Technically, despite what the developers say, the Illusive Man
IS the final boss. The only difference is you can either convince him to shoot himself, or directly confront him by either shooting him with a renegade response and interrupt or a normal response and renegade interrupt, the latter being bad. I realize they wanted to do it differently, but still, a final boss is a final boss. And I will admit, while the Illusive Man capping himself isn't the 'best' suicide, it's definately the second best, only to Saren. It sent shivers down my spine when I saw it the first time.
I hope that they do more than cinematics in the extended cut, and that they don't do something stupid like Genesis, where they give you a stupid comic book to make choices. But if they do make a epic final part to the game, Tali and Garrus will be by my side. In the suicide mission, I was afraid to have Tali with me because she may die, but I will no longer be afraid. Tali and I, along with Garrus, are in this fight together; we'll fight together, and if need be, we'll die together. I'm not going to let fear keep me back as Tali sits in safety onboard the normandy.
