By what standard, exactly? What makes one bit of pure speculation better than another bit of pure speculation?


Why are you in this thread? You're not adding anything to the discussions, you're simply rejecting all the ideas everyone has and saying we're stupid for thinking any of this means anything. Please go away.

You know pro-IT people do the same in other ending threads, right?

But, fair enough. Just do some stretches before returning to the mental gymnastics.


SOME pro-IT people do it in other threads, which is inexcusable.  As is your behavior, the "Because others have done the same thing" excuse is a cop-out. You're responsible for your own behavior.

How is it so hard to have a civil discussion?

Wow bro... now you're just trolling. This is a place for people who actually like videogames.


Sorry, should have clarified my post earlier. You're right, that was rather trollish.

So where exactly is he waking up? And how is he doing so if he's dead?


Only BioWare knows that right now. The rest is speculation. That will hopefully be something they will clarify.


Lol it is simply hilarious how highly you think of yourself. If you watch the leaving earth scene instead of babbling on about speculation and how you feel about theories you should totally do yourself a favor.
The alliance soldier can be seen helping a civillian on board. Why would he not do the same for a ****ing kid?
It's pretty obvious to see that the alliance forces are based off North American militaries (canada,USA) I'm pretty sure it's safe to say they'd like to make that as real as possible. And since the writers use a great deal of realistic material (scientific, biblical, etc) it's not unreasonable at all that they'd like to demonstrate a soldiers honor.

Sorry bud but no soldier would ever dismiss that kid and not help him up. Especially since the kid is right in front of two soldiers. And if you can find an argument other than it's all speculation I'd like to see it.

The kid is not ****ing real.. end of story.. indoctrination theory or not.

If you're willing to have a reasonable discussion, I think there are lots of people who would be interested in it.  I think that the ending is almost certainly not what it seems, but I'm not wedded to the idea of IDT.  It just happens to be the best explanation given what we know.  But I'm certainly willing to hear counter-arguments.  You, on the other hand, seem only to be interested in insults and potshots.

While many people do post a lot of information to fit the theory, when it's clearly not (i.e. kid's sweatshirt being the eyes of Harbinger. lolwat?) I do question why you seem so adamant against it though? Unless it's due to people spouting it off as fact when it clearly isn't fact( ID theory).

If you are so adamant against it because of how people present it, I don't blame you, but statements like that aren't very helpful to discussion, or, well, anything really.


It's the former. People present it in such an absurd way, argung that it is factual then claiming it isn't to save face.

It's just a pointless discussion to have in the first place, so why not indulge my masochistic tendencies once in a while and join in the fray?




Makes sense. 

As for pointless, though. What else could the effort be better spent on? Sending more cupcakes to Bioware? Making topic #83746538 on how much the endings suck? Some pointless flame topic about how Bioware/EA are evil incarnate?

At least this topic present a chance for hope for the game. Assumign people don't bring in just off the wall pieces of information to try and prove it. I, as well as most of the reasonable people here, know that nothign is a fact until Biwoare confirms it. just as it's not untrue until they deny it.

Just whining about everything else is just wasted effort. But, hey, to each their own I suppose.


always get sad when I'm ignored. Oh well.:(

Haha, you pulled this line on me before in a different line of conversation. :P

I read your post, and my lack of a response is nothing personal. Honestly, I've had my fun, and there's nothing more that I wish to contribute at this time, so I'm going to get some sleep in eager anticipation of whatever proof people come up with next.

You're really boring, it'd be much appreciated if you never came back. To me the definition of an internet troll is someone that finds enjoyment in stirring **** up, ie you. Go find another bridge to sit under troll boy.

To be fair, I always say that line whenever I'm ignored by anyone =P

Thanks. But I think I'll dismiss that claim. I'm merely defending our right to present arguments and discuss them. While that guy only seeks to demoralize anyone with an opinion that isn't his own. Sorry but you can't let people walk all over you. Especially people who dismiss any discussioon because it is "speculation."

I disagree. If a WYSIWYG attitude is adopted, then the kid is real and the Catalyst is adopting his form to appeal to Shepard's guilt and righteous nature.

So, I've got a quick question to get us back on topic: How do you think indoctrination actually takes place? Like the mechanics of it? I think answering that question helps pave the way for stronger support for IT.

There is a whole article on it here.

Essentially, you need to be exposed to Reaper materials (such as artifacts). These artifacts generated fields that slowly change an organic's thinking to be sympathetic towards whatever the Reaper wants.

Note that Shepard has quite a large amount of contact with Reaper style materials (the largest being Object Rho).
