*spoiler*
The leak mentions; Indoctrination thwarting Prothean plan-Bs. Primary was probably hyperbole though.
/end *spoiler


But yeah every species is vulnerable to indoctrination that was the main questioning behind why would the Cipher matter.

I'm kind of surprised Shepard isn't already under Reaper control at this point. How many times is he put into places where people are being indoctrinated. Then have him in a indoctrination signal area for 2 days, asleep.

If something ain't stopping him from being controlled at this point, that's a hole in the story.


I think he's simply more resistant to indoctrination than most people, thanks to the Cipher and whatnot.

Agreed. I think the Cipher's importance has been underplayed. Hopefully it's role in regards to Shepard and the Protheans will be explored more in ME3.

Equal consequences? What are those? No matter what happens in the end, some people will be upset and feel like they've been "shafted" if their desired consequences for their actions don't line up *exactly* where they think they should.

There should be a suitable victory/defeat for both sides. If any pure renegade expects a wonderful happy ending with rainbows and butterflies after callously slaughtering innocents, using other races as meatshields, and being an ass in general at every opportunity... well... please give a good reason why you'd expect that. The ending where Volus are dancing around a reaper corpse like Ewoks is something only paragons should get.


I disagree. I think both Paragon and Renegade should get a "medium ending". To get the "best ending", you'd have to mix up Paragon and Renegade. That would be awesome (mainly because I play that way).


I'd say keeping around resources while eleminating threats should lead to a good ending, while throwing away resources and letting potential threats go free should lead to a worse ending.


Nowhere in there did I make the statement "best", just suitable. I'm a paragade as well, so I share your sentiments somewhat. However, I don't think even people who mix and match both sides of the coin should get a definitive ultimate ending (because that in itself is subjective depending on how one thinks the game should end). Ideally, all of the choices should have some sort of positive AND negative consequence. Which side these consequences favor the most should be unique to each choice.

If Shepard was implanted with Reaper tech, then I think Harbinger would have figured out a way to control him.

My guess is that it's a combination of Shep being a stubborn, willful SoB, the Cypher, and repeated exposure to Prothean direct-memory artifacts.  I doubt that brain is like any other brain in the galaxy at this point.

Studying reaper tech by TIM -> created tech that allowed to ressurect people -> start of Project Lazarus, which revived Shepard.


Is there proof that this was a result of Reaper technology?


I've asked the same thing several times now, no response.

It seems to be an assumption on the part of the Cerberus fans.


Nice straw-man there, as usual. Seems to be a regular thing with you.

I'm not a Cerberus fan, far from it. I but I'm not affraid of Cerberus either, unlike those idealistic pure-Paragon players who let fear compromise who they are, even though they say they don't. :wizard:


Paragade FTW tbh.


As for Shepard having reaper tech in his body: It's not literally said in the books or games, but the books do have lots of major hints towards that. Especially the last book about Paul Grayson. Paul Grayson was one of TIM's test subject for reaper implants. He implanted Paul with lots of reaper cybernetics and watched how Grayson reacted to indoctrination. It's hinted in the same book that the same kind of reaper implants are used to ressurect Shepard in the Lazerus Project. This is not officially confirmed, but really, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is indeed the case.


Several of the people who keep citing the "Lazarus = reaper" speculation as fact ARE Cerberus fans, however.

I'd also ask everyone to compare the help everyone other organization/government/group in the galaxy provided by comparison... practically nothing?  Yeah.Image IPB


Besides the intel that delayed the Reaper invasion? Not much.

Not that anyone gives a sh*t about the Terminus systems, anyway. I don't give a damn about the Terminus systems either.


Even the Alliance didn't help Shepard fight the Collectors.  Cerberus is the only group that did.

Well, Ashley shot at a seeker swarm.

And there were those defense turrets.

If it wasn't for the turrets, the Collectors would've had no reason to leave.

However, EDI had to fix them. And it was because of TIM's rumor that those turrets were put on Horizon in the first place. So either way, without the help of Cerberus, Horizon, or some other colony, would have been taken. Completely.

All TIM did was to point Shepard in the right direction. As to why he would deserve some credit for the Collectors downfall (aside from the obvious "hurr durr he built Normandy/EDI", which, I might add, Shepard had to upgrade all by himself in order to make ready for the Omega 4 Relay. QED, TIM is a stingy bastard who can't even properly outfit his "gifts" to serve their intended tasks, which perhaps explains his ratio of successes vs failures in the project department), well, that's a leap of logic only your splintered mind can make.

Shepard has as much tactical or strategic knowledge as any given Call of Duty protaganist, which is to say none at all. TIM's planning made it all possible.

How does "Go there and recruit this dude/tte because s/he's pretty dangerous and doesn't afraid of anything, oh and there's these important places that are traps but I'm sending you there anyway because I don't have a problem risking a 124 billion investment on a hunch or just to seem like a douche who keeps his subordinates in the dark regarding information that could really help them not dying horribly to an ambush" count as tactical or strategic knowledge to you? I assume what you meant was that TIM gave Shepard said tactical and strategical knowledge to Shepard, which, as should be evident to anyone with half a brain, is a fat lie..

You're underselling the CoD cast(s).

TIM enables Shepard to fight in ME2. He's the main questgiver. He gives Shepard all the intel and all the directions, provides Shepard with everything he needs for the fight, and covers for him in the Terminus Systems, where Shepard's Spectre status doesn't mean a thing. Shepard's just a soldier - nothing more than a weapon in TIM's hand. Without TIM, he wouldn't even get into the space, in fact he'd still be dead.

Shepard wouldn't be able to plan if his life and the life of the galaxy depended on it, it's the same person who says "we fight or we die, that's the plan." Strategy and tactics? Shepard just shoots things and explodes things when people tell him to, or he feels like it.

Gee, I'll remember that next time Shep is rifling through crates for the credits to improve the cheapass weapons he starts out with, or scanning planets for minerals to upgrade the Normandy enough to actually accomplish the mission, or overcoming the deliberately bad intel from TIM in order to accomplish the mission in spite of TIM's compusive dbag disorder.
