Actually, Sammuthegreat - your general idea and Arian Dynas' work are pretty much what I hinted at.
I like them. A lot.
Wink wink nudge nudge Bioware!

The clue is once you're done with the indoctrination sequence you still have the options you had during the end sequence of the game now...
- Shepard sacrifices oneself Jesus style in attempting to Control the Reapers.
- Shepard sacrifices oneself Satan style and gets incorporated into the Human Reaper because Saren was right afterall and Synthesis is the Endlösung to all suffering. The cycle will be completed with every organic in this cycle being harvested and ascended into a Reaper.
- Shepard annihilates the Reaper tech by triggering the Crucible as it was intended.
I've agreed with most of what you've wrote, but I definitely disagree with this. Half the problem with the ending is that it forces you into 3 choices, which don't feel like enough. The choice itself between R/G/B is one of the most disappointing things about the ending as it stands.
There are far more elegant ways to continue the story after the Indoctrination attempt - for example a general idea suggested by me a while back, or even better this excellent series of custcene screenplays written by Arian Dynas.
EDIT: Forgot to mention also that if the post-Indoctrination section includes a RGB choice exactly like the one in the Indoc sequence, then that creates a new plot hole - how on earth did Shepard know what the Crucible would look like?
Plus it's one of the pieces of evidence integral to IT that the whole post-beam sequence is cobbled together using scenes from Shepard's memory. The setting for the Starchild scene looks remarkably similar to the bottom of the beam where Shepard got hit by Harby's beam - i.e. it's a memory of Shepard's, projected into the Indoc sequence. It wouldn't make any sense if the ACTUAL Catalyst involved the same 3 options.
Thank you both for the compliments
Though, right now, with The Truth pretty well disproven, I'm starting to lose faith
And one thing still failing to make sense to me, how in the hell can Bioware claim this DLC will bring clarification, if they are also saying they want people to be able to interpret it how they want to? Unless they're speaking about the ending we have now WITHOUT the context of the extended cut, how can they even continue a series in Mass Effect without adressing that rather large elephant in the room? They'd have to point out whether the Geth (a fan favorite) survived, whether everyone became a hybrid, whether Shepard is a hero or a failure, ect. they'd have to come uip with a solid, canon ending here, and they don't like to do that, they even gave us wiggle room with Karpyshyn stating ANderson became an admiral again because he "Stepped down from his post" if you made him a councilor.
