People do realize that if the indoc theory is true, you'd basically have to repeat the last section? Assuming the whole game isn't a dream, the Reapers still need to be stopped, right? So that means do exactly the same as you did before except this time it is real. Get to the Citadel, activate the Catalyst/Crucible, and boom, reapers die.
Yawn.
By all means expand the current endings, but pretending they never existed outside of Shepard's mind would be the lamest thing ever.
What? This is a ridiculous assumption.
Obviously, if there is more to the story, then it won't be that simple. And obviously it won't be the EXACT same sequence, since the whole theory states that the Citadel is put together through Shepard's subconcious during the dream.
Why is it ridiculous? Because you are convinced the Indoc theory is true? You actually think Bioware is going to tear up the current endings and start from scratch? If indoc is true, the Reapers still need to be stopped and would obviously require an entirely new conclusion, or it's just a repeat... That stuff takes time and money... and admitting that you screwed up in the first place.
Learn to read. I said IF there is more to the story, it won't be that simple. That doesn't imply that accept IDT as fact, though I do believe it's most likely the case. And IF there is more to the story (i.e. more gameplay that leads to the proper ending) then it's not going to be a cut and paste of the "dream sequence." That much is obvious, and you're assumption that it would be the exact same is what I was stating was ridiculous. You have no idea what Bioware has planned. You are obviously ignoring the argument that if IDT is real then Bioware had it planned from the get go. Therefore, they had stuff in development or possibly even closed to finished before the game was released.
And I don't know how many times someone has to say it, but it's not meant to be an actual ending according to the IDT. It's merely a plot twist and the game is meant to be continued on from the ruins of London. Read the thread you're posting in.
I read just fine. What I don't accept is that Bioware will change their endings to appease rabid fans. There's no easy way out of this mess, especially when some people are demanding FREE dlc or no deal. Not a chance of that happening. Bioware should clarify the endings, add some decent closure, but never, EVER, use a fan theory. And no, I don't believe they planned any of this. Indoc is a fan theory, nothing more. It is BS to me, and will remain BS even if Bioware succumbed to fan pressure. At least have some integrity and stand by your decisions, even if the original ending is crap.
I'm just going to say to anyone that comes to a thread to discuss IT that if you are here to defeat it or a portion of it that is a big part of why this thread exists; to discuss this theory. Either to support it or prove it wrong.
That being said, if you come in to this, mostly civil thread, and give an angry tone and bash this theory with nothing short of hot tempered rebukes that are in no way supported by any findings, links, or sources; you will not only being making yourself look ill prepared, but also ensure that no one will take your claims seriously. You also bring shame to your cause, which I hope is to help prove this theory wrong and not just complain.
If you like the endings or don't like our theory, feel free to stay out of the related threads, unless you have proof that you would like us to analyze. If that is the case, put it out and let us converse about it. Opinions are not necessary for a civil and intelligent debate sir or madam.
