Ergo, HE'S LYING OF COURSE! Isn't that obvious? They ALL lie, but of indoctrination or whatnot 

EDI is enhanced using reaper tech, it's not her base software, the heart of who she is you might say, now this is speculation, sorry for that word, but I believe the destroy ending "only" targets and disables reaper tech while leaving everything else intact.

lol i personally dont remember him saying that at that point, he just says something like he's ashamed shes working so hard to stop the reapers or something and uses her to prove a point on control, i know her core and such is made from reaper tech but the body isn't

At the very least she's made of reaper code, but eh i haven't played it in so long i won't argue.

Though i have a feeling pretty much any new cerberus technology used reaper tech, or some stuff from the human reaper.

This article is great.

Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk told Eurogamer that...
We listen to them on the forums, their feedback from stories. We're
reading it all. If we can get ideas out of it that will make the game
better, sure. We're not adverse to taking feedback. That's part of our
core values, is humility. Any time we get a good idea from fans...
they're our audience. They keep us in business.

Their definition of humility leaves something to be desired, you cannot tout humility while touting artistic integrity.

Kind of like a peanut butter and jelly taco with BBQ sauce with a side of home fries. All good but just don't seen to be working for me.

Dude, what did you do with Hackett?! I miss...Hackett....


Ok, back to topic: hmm...I have a feeling everyone is creating more plotholes now...How about we sit tight and wait to see how Bioware fixes this mess?

I'm not happy with a cop out like that. Maybe it's just me.

If the delivery had been done correctly it would not be a cop out, the whole problem is with the delivery of the scenario, let me put it this way, you do not learn whether the catalyst was bluffing or not, there was a missing piece, an example would be surviving the destroy ending and waking up, then EDI approaches and tells you her reaper enhancement are no longer functional, then you see geth approaching with a stretcher, that's very basic from me but it gives an answer, and that's what was missing from the ending, ergo "No closure".

[Major Swift]

question, what would you have made the Crucible do? i already said what i would in my rewrite, disable all reaper barriers permanently and fight it out conventionally (you'd have a pretty good chance with this to beat them)

This.

I know I am behind in the thread and catching up, but this is an amazing read.  Is part of the gaming press coming around?

I would think so but the little god kid even remarks that shepard has synthetic parts ???

It's all so confusing...

That's what I hoped the crusible would do, take down all reaper defenses then hit them with everything we've got.

I really like that idea. Been lurking/sulking for a while now but that perked me up. 

Still think this thread has some real wonderful people in it, even if Im not a part of the active community. Keep up the good work folks.

Edit should be specific and say i meant the image of the geth with the stretcher. It fits beautifully with their original design as discovered in the geth hub.

Lol i just learned how to change the avatar to one of my choice. Sorry if you loved Hackett so much 

Anyways, if we sit tight and wait, we won't have anything to talk about  And the thread will be dead soon after

That's the problem with the ending, it is confusing, but again, is the starbrat bluffing hoping that Shepard chooses his own survival over destroying the reapers, there are 3 things to make Shepard pause for thought.

1. EDI's survival
2. Geth survival
3. His/her own survival

I wouldn't have minded if it just didn't work at all lol. The only way would've been to really use your EMS and unite everyone to truly beat them. But that would've made a whole other game and whatnot.

thats where EMS would kick in with it just disabling barriers, high EMS you can win, medium EMS you win with a huge amount of casualties(less casualties than the highest EMS) and lowest EMS you lose reapers win

It's just that the new one...scares me a little...

Haha, good point. 
I just don't like it when we start bringing what Jessica says on twitter here and gets our hopes up. She's nice, but whatever she says only makes us more confused and we get all excited, when in reality the majority of stuff she says is just her interpretation...it contradicts a lot of things they say in the game...
(I do believe Starchild was lying though)

True, and that's the way I played it. There are so many holes you can't figure out which one to jump in to. That's why there is no satisfaction in the ending because it's all illogical. No one could possiblly figure out anything with some real degree of certainty.
