Assuming (and hoping) it is real...tim would still be alive. and something tells me, he actually managed to controll the reapers to some extent (they definitely managed to control their ground forces as stated in the sanctum mission)...besides..to everyone owning the artbook..it mentions "how the final room could have looked like if you fought the illusive man's forces before reaching him" or something like that...anyways..the interesting thing about the corresponding picture is the fact...that it shows reaper ravagers amongst the other bodies. ravagers...tim's forces?
Something big happened here. Up until this point TIM wants control and opposes the reapers. TIM starts to find ways to control husks..substantial breakthroughs occur. The reapers attack and destroy sanctuary. They are clearly on opposing sides. The next time we see Illusive man it as after assaulting whats left of the cerberus main base
The line is drawn here----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other side of the line we have
Tim allows Kai Leng his opportunity to kill shepard. Up until this point Leng was told to avoid killing Shepard if possible.
Tim shares intel with the reapers- Even if TIM wanted to control the reapers this is a moral event horizon. He crossed the line by sharing intel with the enemy
TIM- has bonifide reaper tech by now. We dont know when it happened, but we can say he has it after sanctuary based on the video
TIM sacrifices cerberus!- TIM is cerberus. If anything would represent paragon in TIM's head it would be cerberus. TIM wants to save humanity..thats his M.O. even if its misguided. In me2 TIM says as much *cerberus is humanity*.
At this stage cerberus is fully dematerialized. Shepard sitting in the Illusive mans seat is as strong an image as one could come up with.
Slowly but surely everything that defines TIM is deconstructed, until it all comes to a head. TIM, the man who loves humanity the most, the man who sees both himself and cerberus as humanity, begins to fundamentally change his entire belief system. Suddenly Humanity must evolve to a higher plane. Suddenly control and taking abilities from the reapers was key. I wanted to ask him how far he was willing to go. He was merging with the reapers under the guise of control. At this point I was waiting for the words * more than human* to come along.
Alas my shepard started getting to him...the logic bombs started to work. The rest of the encounter is a chilling recount of ME1 and my conversations with saren.
Toss enough logic bombs at saren and he starts to question himself. Then suddenly he gets angry and
accuses me of undoing all he worked for . Later on he commits suicide as the only way to end the voices.
