Wouldn't it be an awesome twist if The Reapers gave you an option to work for them..?

I actually want a bad ending where you're slowly indoctrinated. You think you're fighting to stop the Reapers, but at one soul shattering point you realize that you actually helped them win and are now under their complete control.

An option for Shepard to work for the Reapers would essentially be a Mass Effect version of the DA:O DLC Darkspawn Chronicles.

You get to play the bad guy.

Now, if he's allowed to make that choice during a regular game (or do enough of the wrong things that he gets indoctrinated during a regular game) that would be fairly awesome.

Yeah, it's called indoctrination.

No I don't want that option. It would be the equivelant to the warden teaming up with the Archdemon in DAO.

It'd be hilariously stupid if that was an option. I think they did actually do one like that in Jade Empire. There was "good ending", "bad ending", and "stupid ending". Was fun.

I don't mind the option being there if its like loving Morinth. Pick it and enjoy your critical mission failure, indoctronated Shep.

I really don't know why anyone would want this option. We have been working our butts off since fall of 2007 so we can beat these guys, not join them.

Saren already asked Shepard to join the Reapers once, and Shepard said "I'd rather die", or something to that effect.

We didn't have a chose when it came for working for Cerebus, so why would we get one with the Reapers? Bioware's writing is too linear/one dimesional for that.

Why is it an horrible idea? I mean joining the Reapers won't be the destruction of human life at all. Instead it will be the melding of all into one unified thought and consciousness. All becomes one and one becomes all. It's not THAT bad. xD

Think of it as the Helios ending in Deus Ex but in a bigger way.  :P

Sure, joining the bad guy works in some games.. Games with more freedom through-out the story. Neverwinter Nights 2 had the option, if you'd been evil enough in the *entire* game, to join the bad guy at the end. Destroy the world at the head of his army etcetc.

But Shepard has been doing nothing but fighting the Reapers for the last two games. Every single speech Shepard has given is "WE CAN DEFEAT THEM. HUMANITY CAN DO THIS, WE MUST DO THIS. THE REAPERS MUST BE STOPPED!" and so on...

Bioware are good writers. They might even be considered the best around, if you take into account how few games Obsidian release, but there is no way they can make that work without it seeming like a giant bucket of cow pat.

In my personal opinion.

It's not that hard. If Bioware could pull it off with it coming off as arbitrary, they will definitely get big rep points from me. 

They just need to establish the nature of the Reapers. We still know little about these guys and new facts in ME3 can easily change our perspective. To offer godhood to an entire race is something that many humans wouldn't hestitate to obtain at all cost so if the Reapers just handed that to humanity on a silver platter... well, I won't hestitate to accept. :P

Essentially, if there are some choices Shepard can make that result in him becoming indoctrinated, that would deal with the arbitrary concern.

What would make that interesting to play is if the Reapers did it with a light touch as was done with Saren initially - so Shepherd continues to have free will, even if his perceptions are altered.

no one read my post fully - i say the Reapers actually present you with evidence. they dont give you some speech, they show you and explain their purpose.

THEN you can choose to either assist the Reapers in allowing them to finish their job (and save the galaxy from collapsing in on itself) or give them the finger and risk that they may be lying.

it should be an ambiguous choice, and result in the final chapter of the game being completely different - if you chose to fight them, you rally the forces and confront them. but if you choose to side with them, they pull out of the worlds they are on and Shepard becomes their vanguard, he pleads his case to the races of the galaxy.

it would be an insane ending, Shepard, standing before leaders of all the races, asking them to give up everything in order to save the galaxy. its certainly a crazy option.

I kinda like this idea. *runs*:whistle:

This OP option would make a good setting up the next Mass Effect games.

Its not to farfetch to see Shepard succumbing to indocrination, Shepard is just human and not a God or a Titan.

No.  Zeus shared a night of passion with Hanna Shepard, and 9mo later our protagonist was born.
