Guys what if Thorians are the Organic form of reapers?
Think about it Reapers might be the cyborg(syntetic) version of thoarians.
So it explains about the Reaper Tech in crucible doesnt it?
They vanish their organic forms and trying to be master race of all galaxy through the destroying organics.
Does anyone knows look like of thoarians? No... so thats might be the our answer.
(Thoarians: They are another organic life vanished by reapers who have indoctrination ability)


But they needed the Thorian for the Cipher. Doesn't really make sense that they would seek out something that they already had. Hrrrmmm.


werent the thorians those plants in me1 that took over the hope colonists..... hey and the thorian also had its own husk thingies and a kind of ID.


edit: but i dont think plants can become a space faring civilization... unless they ID other organics to do it for them.

Went trough the game on NG+, and yes. The ending can't be much else but an illusion. The first run trough, I brought my LE. She shows up on the Normandy after the crash whether you want to or not. So, this time around I brought Garrius and Jarvik. Guess who shows up after the crash on the eden planet? Jarvik.
Bioware can't have let this happen by oversight. Guess we have to wait until PAX or something for some clearing up on how the game will actually end. DLC or unlocking content

"While we may be heavily invested in Mass Effect, at the end of the day it is only a story. Stories are important of course, they define us, our hopes, our dreams and our culture. They inspire us, they support us, they help us to see the world and ourselves in new ways. But ultimately all this is pointless if we cannot accept reality. Accepting reality doesn’t need to mean we need to stop acting against things we don’t like, or even things we may not be able to change. It means having the courage to accept the horrible, the atrocious and the vile as things that actually happen. Only then can we do something about them. If we cannot even allow ourselves to accept a bad ending to a work of fiction, how can we accept suffering, pain, corruption, extremism and totalitarianism in our own, real lives? If we cannot accept it is real, how can we change it?

The Mass Effect 3 indoctrination theory is only proving one thing - that people are capable of forming the most complex, intricate fabric of fallacious information and poor reasoning to weave a safety blanket against things they just don’t want to accept as true. It shows that people are happy to indoctrinate themselves against the world around them, without the aid of a vast alien mind. When we have the gift to understand and analyze the world around us, the fact people choose not to is the biggest let down of all."

ROFL.  "That's crazy.  I didn't notice any of that.  Surely I couldn't have missed it if it was there!  I'm great!  These people must be lunatics."
It's hilarious how convinced most of the vocal IT opponents are that they're right.

The fact that BW actually labelled them as red/green/blue lends a lot of credence to the idea that it's not the true ending. It means they fully acknowledge that the ending, taken at face value, is as simplistic as everyone thinks it is. But it's also BioWare. They'd never knowingly let a game end like that. Indoc Theory, I await your big reveal.

EDIT: Unless it's fake. In that case the OP of that thread is just a douche who thinks he's clever.

Aren't  these just the current endings, with the scene where you see the soldiers fighting when the RGB blast comes by and disables or accends the reapers?

The fact that the file names for the endings are color codes seems to suggest that even bioware understands how ludicrous the endings are.

Interesting , you can see all known ending files in the game except End004.bik.The red , blue , green endings all are labled End03 or End3.You don't even see other files associated with it.

We've seen these arguments dozens of times bud. Thanks for the info Herr. But the way this article seeks to understand the developers is a stretch in itself. Comparing the in game evidence to the way a court system works? Absolutely hilarious. The article contains as many assumptions as IDT itself. It is written in a way that begs the question "Is the writer one of the many who rushed into b*tching about the ending before acknowledging that anything else took place".. the obvious answer... yes.

One of my favorite conversations from The Chronicles of Narnia

Susan Pevensie: [about Lucy] She thinks she's found a magical land... In the upstairs wardrobe.
Professor Kirke: [eyes widening, he rushes to the children] What did you say?
Peter Pevensie: Um, the wardrobe. Upstairs. Lucy thinks she's found a forest inside.
Susan Pevensie: She won't stop going on about it.
Professor Kirke: What was it like?
Susan Pevensie: Like talking to a lunatic.
Professor Kirke: No, no, no. Not her, the forest!
Susan Pevensie: [stares] You're not saying you believe her?
Professor Kirke: You don't?
Susan Pevensie: But, of course not. I mean, logically it's impossible.
Professor Kirke: What do they teach in schools these days?
 
The professor goes on to use actual LOGIC to get Peter & Susan to believe Lucy is telling the truth. 

The ending of Mass Effect 3 is polarizing - that's what they (DEVS) wanted.  They wanted discussion, they wanted speculation.  If it were so "cut and dry" they would not have this level of involvment.  If it were so easy to use logic and reason to determine X, then it would have already been done. 

BUT - the ending isn't so easily dismissed.  It isn't as simple as "IDT is true" or "IDT is false."  At least not yet. 

We'll have to wait and see what Bioware does. 

So he's the "TRUTH" of all of it.  Until Bioware officially announces anything, IDT is just as valid as any other theory.  If you want to engage is discussion, that's fine.  But showing up and putting up posts that belittle people who believe in IDT, that's definately WRONG.
