i actually left the first time i was here, cause someone called me troll out of the blue. but then a few days later i came back and someone actually posted hes glad to see me back here, cause he liked the points i made and he was afraid that the rude guy chased me off. i even got some personal messages from people saying i shouldnt take the inpolite posters serious.

so i figure even though some of you have nothing better to do than fight with me over whos a troll and who isnt, others just like to read the posts while contemplating about whether or not they should believe in the theory.

after awhile i of course gave up the arguing and just came in here asking if something has been proven and if you are still following the theory. that seemed to offend people the most, which i can actually understand. even though i didnt mean to offend anyone. but since ive been called a troll without reason the first time i came here, i dont see why i should be bothered by anyone calling me a troll now. its an over used word anyhow, so who cares?

now if you call someone else a troll while im here - that i dont care for. and since i liked getting defended by someone else, i have to defend my follow non believers as well, if they get teamed up on just for posting here. which then ends with everyone teaming up on me again, but i dont care, now im used to it and its just a online forum. you dont know me, i dont know you. who knows what kind of horrible troubles some of you have to deal with outside this thread.

oh, and i like to talk of course.

Just finished my first playthrough and I have to agree, as Shepard drags himself to his feet and walks towards the Conduit it all really seems like a dream. Oh well, going to have to wait to see what the EC does.

Meanwhile, my second playthrough featuring my Renegade Shep has started!

Third: Where, when and how did TIM introduce these nanites into Shepard and Anderson's systems? Couldn't have been during project Lazarus, otherwise the Reapers could have assumed control at just about any time.

The nanides are airborne, as said in one log that the disposal guys had to wear heavy hazmat suits at any time in a certain area, and are present in husks and other reaperfied organics this can infect anyone near them with prolonged exposure. Anderson certainly had that on Earth, especially in London.

Fair enough, but how did they get into Shepard's system? Especially if they were wearing a sealed helmet the whole time.

I'm not really arguing that Shepard wasn't being indoctrinated. I'm saying that it's probably by subliminal methods mentioned in the codex. I had a draft of a small essay where I discussed this subject. I'll find it, clean it up and present it here for you guys to analyze.

Shep did say s/he heared the casing crack his/her helmet even if s/he couldn't find it ^^
Also again this for the subliminal stuff: http://www.youtube.c...N7RIiKbA#t=167s


Wow, that thing about the Reaper is creepy.

What part of "synthetics killing off organics so that organics aren't killed off by synthetics" makes sense?


They do not kill all organics so there is no paradox.

Actually, there is a paradox, because what I said did not imply that the reapers killed everything off. And the excuse that they leave less advanced species alone is BS. What about huskified harvesters? Or the Krogan, who are only capable of space travel due to outside intervention?

Argument still stands: genocide of several species because they might create synthetics that destroy everything is hypocritical in the extreme.

Take another look at Palaven. How is that justifiable?!


Since when morality and logic are the same thing???

I can't bear to watch some of the Renegade things.  The hardest things for me to watch are the killings of Mordin and Legion.  I swear I die a little inside every time I watch those on YouTube.

Krogan didn't develop technology independently but they still have it and use it, and therefore can concievably develop synthetics well earlier than 50,000 years after current events.

Genocide of several species is ENTIRELY justified if they might create synthetics that could destroy ALL organic life, FOREVER. At least, by sheer number crunching it is.

Your entire argument is based on emotional and moral grounds, not calculations of likelihood.

I died so thoroughly in that playthrough that I actually think I owe the world life at this point

Then also watch the start with the context that Liara might be indoctrinated, even more creepy :P

Not really helpful to either side, is it?

EDIT - actually, if she does her extra lines and the Shep VO's don't then it hurts IT. Unless they've already recorded their dialogue, but...:S

any organic might rise up and destroy all other civilazations as well.... the probabilty of that happening is higher since you need organics first.

Since when morality and logic are the same thing???

This is why many people have a missconception about logic, they can't separate it from morality.

Yes. But that doesn't change anything. Organics still exist.

Sometimes you just have to say, "Screw logic, I'm going to do what feels right."  And sometimes, that actually does pay off.  (cough) War Assets (cough)

I could never go full Renegade in ME3, I'd need therapy to deal with all the horrible sheet I'd have Shepard do >:(
Renegades really get the shaft in ME3 tbh, so much pure wrongness, on the other hand, pure Paragon is too saint like too, Paragade for me thankyou. :)

I just think it's cool that theyre already recording dialog. Obviously that tweet in and of itself is not any indicator beyond the fact that EDI will have more dialog... 

It COULD indicate that whatever theyre doing, they already have it storyboarded and more or less ready to be put together.

I'm pure Paragon with a couple exceptions.  I punched Admiral Han'Gerral, I shot Udina, I interrupted Kai Leng, etc.  I actually thought the option of punching Admiral Gerrel should be a Paragon interrupt, like punching Zaeed in ME2.

Against every moral fiber in my body, I'm going to play Renegade for the first time in the ME series. I usually youtube renegade options but I figured I'd go full tyrant myself.
