Prothean checked VI in peoples indoctrinated in varying degrees. They were advanced civilization, so should consider such things.

THE CYCLE CAN'T BE BROKEN.

Yeah, well I'm breaking it! Because I have a manly, sexy deep voice and and am good with firearms. Therefore going by Shepard, I have all the qualifications.

Yes, I've learned to be tired of rabbits too.

"When you make an important decision in mass effect (anything that the game needs to know about from your saves) it adjusts the value of a "flag" in the save game file. (either 0 or 1). However, looking at the deconstructed code from the saves, only END001, the destroy ending, actually sets any flags. However, if the game was really intended to end after the end credits, why would they bother setting a save game flag when there's no more gameplay?"
Just saw that comment on youtube... Has that been discussed yet?[/quote]
To death and back.

Does anyone else find it hilarious how Vega is following Shep and Anderson at the beginning, the way he crosses his arms when the stop to talk makes him look like he's trying to hide the fact he is following them (yeah I know he was supposed to walk with them but he still looks so out of place the way he walks and stops that I can't stop laughing).[/quote]
Well he is kind of intentionally the odd man out, and all in all Vega is just a LT. So really he wouldn't be brought in on the high level stuff.

Hey guys, just had a thought. You know the "other Shepard" in your last dream? (you know, the dream right after Shepard is staring at the N7 helmet and says that "they thought they heard it crack"during that last fight?) The Shepard that embraces the child?
...think that was the birth of the TIM part of Sheps mind?
EDIT - actually, this is just after Thessia, right? If so this is clearly the traumatic event that unhinges this part of Shepards psyche.
[/quote]Good observation... I also noticed it and found it weird. I thought Shep is really going nuts...
I'm still not the IT-believer, but this will make me think about it a little more...
Glad to hear the exam didn't suffer too much from the time passed on this thread

Actually there is that one kid on the Citadel talking to a Turian C-Sec officer about how she is waiting for her parents. While not as young as the Starbrat kid, she is definetly not adult either...also regarding that it is one of my favorite of those small plotlines running throughout the Citadel and the Normandy.
The way the kid becomes more and more worried about her parents not showing up and the Turian keeping an eye on her and talking to her is just another of those small parts that really stuck.
[/quote]
I love this one, it was just heartwrenching. I kept expecting to hear the Turian offer to adopt her.

You know what's occurred to me, even discounting IT this game is unfinished, if you chose the destroy ending with high EMS you get a single breath from?, we only see an N7 dog tag, the armor is not exactly unique, there are absolutely no answers just a boatload of questions.[/quote]
Initially some wondered if the N7 agent was even Shepard, but we quickly realised the most obvious clue that it was indeed Shep. The fact that it doesn't show the face.
[/quote]
Considering the file is entitled "ShepAlive" in the game files, yeah, there is no debate, it's Shepard.

Also, about the child. Is there any kind of logic in the beginning of the game?
So, he's in that vent. Okay. Shep comes up and wants to help him. Now, aside from the fact that every normal kid would JUMP at an offer like that, he goes deeper into the vent. Okay. Then later, we see him at the shuttles, at which point I have to say: what? I mean.. did he sit in that vent for a while, wait until Shepard had left, then decided "ok this sucks f*ck it", crawl out of the vent, take a different path than Shepard (because you don't see him on the way) and SURVIVE this as an UNARMED KID?[/quote]
The kid is simply not real.
Indoctrination or not... the kid does not exist. Possibly in the first scene when hes playing on that highrise.. but even that is a stretch for me.
Why? Because no one besides shepard interacts with him.
The vent noise that leads shepard to the vent where the boy is.. but when the child suddenly disappears we don't hear the same movement sound. And the growl.. which is heard through all sound channels.. different from the reaper in the background which can only be heard through a few sound channels. (surround sound)
If you notice when the child is near the shuttles at the end - no one acknowledges or interacts with the child.. but the soldiers sure as hell don't mind helping up injured civillians into the shuttle. There is also another lone soldier standing inside the shuttle doing nothing.
[/quote]
Also the childs design is unique, no other person is dressed in a similar fashion(including the civilians) even the artbook acknowledges this, - paraphrasing this from memory:
We designed the boy to look like something that wouldn't be out of place today..
- Again just paraphrasing from memory so don't quote me, the important thing to note is that the boy is wearing slightly updated current clothing as they wanted to use him to connect with the player as well as with Shepard in game.
[/quote]
And I think it is also very siginificant, that he is the only child in the whole game series. So if they only wanted to show us the suffer of people, why not also add Asari children and other children in gemeral on the citadel.. you allways the families that fled on the citadel, but never you see any children.
[/quote]
I love this little detail.

Off Topic - Yeah I would have actually liked the Exalted March DLC. It sounded awesome![/quote]
No worries, they're folding parts of it into DA3, so we need only wait. I kind of hope they bring back origins ( you know, just have us choose; ok, we like this voice set, we like this race... ect,)
