I can honestly say that the implication of TIM's speech/dialog/suicide not being real is my one regret about believing IT. It's one of the most powerful dialogs in the trilogy, IMO. I guess we can still consider it "real" in the fact that it happened in Shepard's head, but I thought it was a great way to wrap up TIM's character. Who knows though, maybe the EC would bring about an even better end for TIM. 



I think keeping TIM alive and trying him for war crimes after the war is over would be better.

To quote Tali: He be a traitor to our people, held up for children as a monster in a cautionary tale.


That raises the question, can you really try someone for actions that were made while under the effects of indoctrination?


Can you really try someone who was merely following orders who may have been in fear of their owns lives? It's a loaded question but a valid comparison I don't think anyone has the "correct"  answer for it, I don't even think there is a "correct" answer


What is even a trial like, in a galaxy that is either near or just nearly survived an apocalypse?


Well applying current logic that TIM committed War Crimes against the universe and the council is the seat of power for the majority of the galaxy so in theory whatever is left of the council would be responsible

Hm, that may be a Battlestar Galactica style to wrap up a character. I always thought of ME more like Star Wars. So I imagine the character more going down before getting to chance to face the consequences of his actions, even though TIM is likely a victim of the events around him.

TIM wasn't exactly the pinnacle of goodlyness to being with though so wouldn't really call him a victim of the events. just a man who was delude into thinking he should hold all the cards in what's best for humanity.

I'm not entirely done reading Evolution, but that's how the character of Jack Harper appeared to me.

Nothing better than coming in here after a hard night of work and seeing a Lex0r11 motivational. 
If squirrels really did carry mac 10's it would certainly make hunting more interesting. :happy:





After posting this I went for a run. Half way back a squirrel pops out from under a car and I almost stepped on it. AND it was still raining a bit and that thing made me almost slip.

Damn "popping out of nowhere" ambush squirrels.
Or am I starting to imagine things?

It's an interesting review of a DS9 episode that raises questions that can be applied here in the same way.

In this election year, with economic uncertainty, and growing global safety concerns, ask yourself, 'which candidate will keep us safe from the threat of Ambush Squirrels?'

Think you missed what he was quoting me to begin with I said I hated the new in game shep hated her art as well but she 10 times worse in game. But I liked the original default from ME 1 and 2. New default Femshep in game looks like a squirrel.

I liked the new but it seemed kinda pointless to introduce a new default femshep for 3, although I do appreciate being able to edit my import shep. I don't think you could do this in ME2(I may be wrong)

I've come to realize that they can do what they want - if they stick with the Starbrat and the stupid idea to introduce him 2 minutes before the game is over the ending is ruined for me, no matter how much explanations they add. It just remains bad.

The only way for me to get a new point of view on this is if they would implement the IT. Note that I dont like the IT because the fans had to come up with it, there is no way BW had this brilliant idea. But if they would give it a try thats the only way I could change my mind about the ending in a major way because it would be a whole different story.
