What is the exact order of the books? I'm probably gonna pick them up and start reading them.


Revelation (set before ME1)
Ascension (set between ME2 and ME3)
Retribution (set between ME2 and ME3)

Deception (Generally accepted as really poor, AVOID)


The comics are worth a look too:

Redemption 1-4 (set between ME1 and ME2)
Evolution 1-4 (set way before the games at first contact)
Invasion 1-4 (set just before ME3)

Incursion/Inquisition (two 8-page comics set just before ME3)


A fan of the Halo series asked me if they should pick up ME, I said well of course. And then they asked me if the books are good too and I said yes but for the love of the goddess don't go near Deception, it's by Dietz. They went: Oh dear God nooooooo! I nodded sympathetically.

There are a few villains.

Ra's Al Ghul is in it (the villain from the first movie). Supposedley through flashbacks.. but everything has been so tighly knit we don't know for sure how his role will play out.

Talia Al Ghul is apparently in it as well.

Catwoman.. who in a way is a villain..

and of course Bane..

Ha... It's no wonder the I.T. thread is so long, we keep getting sidetracked with off topic discussions...

How did this start? Oh yeah, DuskRose asking about Retribution and indoctrination therein...

It's funny, the more I read up on Mass Effect, the more clues I find that indicate Shep was getting indoctrinated. I'm not sure if my mind is just making those clues fit though.

I had a thought. For the sake of argument, go with a literalist interpretation of everything that's happened in the ending until right before the Star Child shows up. Then ignore EVERYTHING it says. Hackett has told you that something is wrong.

Do you...

A: grab the pair of fully functioning live wires and make yourself a (briefly) living conduit.
B: jump into the giant energy stream linking the Crucible with the Citadel.
C: shoot the big piece of machinery clogging up the right side of what should have been a perfectly symmetrical device, which looks like it may have even been placed there to prevent a proper hookup between the Citadel and Crucible.

Ok, that's a stretch, I know. But it allows for Shepard to be fumbling inside the real Citadel while also fighting off hallucinations brought on by his growing Indoctrination. It would still invalidate Synthesis and Control by way of making them tricks played by the Reapers trying to get Shepard to commit suicide. And then most of what follows after the choice would also be hallucination, as Shepard is either dying or knocked unconscious.

Thoughts?

Well someone posted earlier a video from 2011 with someone from Bioware talking about how the ending was structured and that they couldn't guarantee the ending would be on the disk...

It's okay really.
People can't/shouldn't keept this up for 1000 pages without a little distraction, some lulz or anything, just not IT all the time.

I'm probably one of the worst sidetrackers in here.

Honour-bound by users, but still distracting. :whistle:

im still 100% sold on IT. theres just too much evidence and without it, the last 15 minutes of the game make absolutely no sense. like how sheppard is bleeding where he shot anderson....explain that without IT.

but i am sure this has been mentioned within the thousand pages of this thread but i am currently replaying ME3 and sheppard just had a dream and every time i approached the litt starchild in the dream it made the "reaper sound" and gave a red glow. if you arent sure what i mean, its that same low note, that "DUUUNNN" everytime you encounter a reaper in-game. so clearly that boy is a reaper in his dreams. also, wasnt there a screenshot of the little boy as a model on a computer where his name was harbinger???

i just cant see how IT is wrong, despite what has been announced

To be fair the audio there is really spotty, so he could be saying can instead of can't.

Grand so (that's an Irish thing, it means "all good"), at least we're surrounded by mostly fellow believers... Is this like a cult now? Are we "Indoctrinists" or something?

....And on the fourth day, Shep said "I should go" and we followed.

He says can. I'm pretty sure. Just by his facial expression and the way he's assuring himself and the guy interviewing him.

I think it's okay if we go off topic. This is like a hangout for us IT believers now since the rest of the board seems to shun us away, so.

It starts at 4:40.  
Dude says ending not guaranteed on disk but DLC will make sense the way the story is structured.
