my own theory (in accordance to indocrination theory):
on the reapers origin, maybe they were organics at some point and then as time passed they used more and more tech implants on themselves until they ultimately decided to merge themselves with machines, downloading all their individual minds into the shells made from their own bodies and tech ending with what we now know as reapers.
my guess is that between harvests they mingle with each other in dark space in order to share experiences and perspectives as well as their own "species specific" technology in order to refine it, streamline it and improve it until no more perspectives or improvements can be made marking the need for a new harvesting and the continuation of their cycle of mental and physical improvement until they reach their ultimate goal which is to me transceding their own notions of perfection and achieve enlightnment in a true union between the organic and synthetic.
sound familiar? because that's what i think the synthesis option is if the IT is true, a way for the reapers to convey their own ideal of paradise/enlightnment in such a way that shepard could minimally understand, converting shepard to their own perspective.
or maybe i'm just a crazy loon, either's better than what we got.:innocent:
See? Better reason than an entire team of professional writers could come up with.
What makes you think they didn't? Control is TIM's choice which leads to the Reapers controlling you, they win. You voluntarily joining your DNA with the Reapers accomplishes their mission, they win. The only out is Destroy.
The problem a lot of people seem to have is that they haven't spelled that out yet, and they're waiting to spell it out. That doesn't mean they didn't think of it. IT does not come out of thin air, it is all over the trilogy from beginning to end.
I just finished a replay of the trilogy as I'm playing ME1, I realize, they turn you into Saren. ME1 is Saren going through Shepard's story after the indoctrination. I think it's brilliant.
A few things I noticed to support IT:
2. The starchild was never real, I believe from the very beginning, Is that a normandy model the kids holding? Kind of like the kid is controlling all their fates as he swings it around circling. Nobody sees the kid ever. When he boards the shuttle, no one helps him up and while you could put that up to lazy animation, in the cut scene before the guards are grabbing the hands of all the civilians and pulling them on up to the escape shuttle.
3. When you're reading the logs in Pax which talk about your ressurection and you start to go into a haze while wondering if you're just an advanced AI, when your squadmate snaps you out of it, you hear the two reaper growls. Same ones you hear when you're broken out of it when you see the kid in the vent in the beginning.
4. When you're walking up the walkway to the control panel on the Citadel and the 1M1 is written on the wall, you'll notice that the opposite side is a mirror image with the 1's backwards. There's something off about the non-backward one too, but I can't place it. Seeing letters backwards is a common dream mythos, no idea if it's true or not, I don't read in dreams.
Some obvious ones which I'm sure were mentioned somewhere in these 1000 pages:
5. Blood on shepards arm completely disappears come time to meet the starchild.
6. There are no other walkways to the circle on the citadel with the control panel yet somehow Anderson is there ahead of you even though he tells you he walked in behind you. I suppose the walkways could move in there, but we never saw it. Obviously, TIM looks nothing like we've seen him, even after the implants, and is more like a husk under reaper control.
There were a lot more, but that's what stood out. I think the indoctrination started with Harbinger, and it kicks into full blast once he gets close enough to you. IT makes perfect sense, I think their plan was to make a new game with a new hero whose job was to stop Shepard and the Reaper, my guess is Vega. Either that or they planned on releasing a full ending in DLC. I don't think they expected the backlash.
On a side note, what troop strength do you need to get the wake up ending? I thought it was over 6000, but I was at an effective 6400ish and didn't see squat. I didn't get my readiness up until the middle of the Cerberus base raid though, so I'm wondering if that was the problem.
