I totally buy the Indoctrination Theory too. It's the only way that the ending we got makes any sense whatsoever. Here's the problem, though. Regardless of whether it's a true theory or not, it doesn't make the ending any mre emotionally satisfying. After going through a 120+ hour journey with a character, we require catharsis. We require resolution. We require closure. The ending to Mass Effect 3 gives us none of these. It gives us ambiguity.
The universe of Mass Effect is not an ambiguious universe. More importantly, Shepard is not an ambiguous character. They are both done a disservice with a story that delivers an ambiguous climax.
I don't buy indoctrination, but I think we can both agree that regardless, it was a lackluster ending that didn't do the series justice. I'm still in this lovely stage where I can pretend that the ending didn't happen at all. For whatever post-ME3 fics I may be writing, I'll just do some handwaving and say "Reapers were defeated!"
edit: And since I'm at home, I can upload a new totp FemShep!
