I don’t have much to add to the theory but I support this so hard.

WOW....that is so obviously male and female shep - could sort of hear it before but now that is just unquestionable. NICE WORK! :o

Yeah. You can very clearly hear female and male Shepard talking with the kid. Really weird. I mean even if it was a "dream/indoctrination/hallucination/whatever", why do you hear the other Shepard's voice actor?

Yo guys, I was listening to the talk with the catalyst and I realized this. We all focused a lot on the fact that the destroy option is just "silly" according to GC. However, did anyone really listen to what he says about the others? Here's a transcript (made by me :D):

GC: Or do you think you can control us?
Shep: So TIM was right after all...?
GC: Yes, but he could never have taken control, because we already controlled him.
Shep: But I can?
GC: You will die, you will control us, but you will lose everything you have.
Shep: But the reapers will obey me?
GC: Yes, but there's another solution.
Shep: Yeah?
GC: Synthesis
Shep: And that is?
GC: Add your energy to the crucible's. Everything you are will absorbed and then sent out. The chain reaction will combine all synthetic and organic life into a new framework. A new DNA.
Shep: I don't know...
GC: Why not? Synthetics are already part of you. Can you imagine your life without them?
Shep: And there will be peace?
GC: The cycle will end. Synthesis is the final evolution of life, but we need each other to make it happen. You have a difficult decision. Releasing the energy of the crucible will end the cycle, but the mass relays will be destroyed. The paths are open, but you have to choose.

No please focus on the fact that almost everything good about those decisions are assumed by shep, but never actually stated by GC. Will there be peace? Deflect the answer. On the control option you will control him, but GC didn't tell for how long (look at it this way, if I can control you while I'm alive but by trying to control you I will die, I can "technically" control you). Aside from the fact that synthesis appears to be "the best choice" but no assurance of victory is given. Be honest, would you take such an important decision by questioning them with such simple queries?

To me it's clear that GC is being deceitful. Any comments?

I agree it makes control and synthesis appealing to shepard and has nothing but bad things to say about destory lets not forget he pretty much states destroy will also kill shepard since he is part synthetic. Yet the destory ending is the only ending shepard can live in and requires the most ems to get that scene if shepard breathing while lying on rubble.

I think Shep is the catalyst- especially so if we can hear the sheps voice with the catalyst


100% you can hear both Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer. We're working on making their individual channels more predominant: Watch this video and specifically try to ignore the child's voice.

i have problem with the synthesis ending which seems to be one that catalyst/kid want's what exactly happens in that one, Shepards DNA is sent across the galaxy and all will be organic/synthetic. That one is so full off plot holes that "you cannot comprehend". What is the "good" thing in that ending? What if they try to build synthetics...are the synthetics they build already organics so they basically build themselves? etc.

Despite some beliving that the actual ending is the true ending, i refuse to belive that after the excellent journey that was the ME trilogy thats what we get for an ending. I support this theory not only because it makes sense (really, there is no freaking way you can explain why shep is alive after that explosion in the Destroy ending) and because Bioware & EA would shoot themselfs in the foot by destroying the fanchise (because really, with an ending like that, the explosion of each mass relay would destroy entire sistems, not to say that a discharge that can kill the reapers would also destroy all navigational capability of a spaceship, meaning everyone in the battle is mostly dead)

sorry, english is my first language but i suck at and i dont care

1. endings leaked- bw came up with this little indoctrination ending to compensate

2. bw released space edition knowing people would blab. real ending coming so everyone would get it at the sametime (what a genius way to end a truly epis story like mass effest)

3. casey hudson said hold on to your saves. ending expansion pack (DA:O awakining style)

4. read the codex on indoctrination

5. infinite bullets

6. shepard waking up on earth

7. squad mates teleporting unharmed onto a normandy getting ready to jump through a relay

8. destroy being the renagede option (In dreams everthing is reversed.... also kinda explains 1m1)

9. gambles post about this being the hardest day ever.

10. guide book talks about secret ending possibly taken out. only to be given to us later.

11. kid dissapearing after you destroy

12. vega talking about humming

13. allmost killing virmire survivor

14. reapers hate you why would they tell you the truth. Read the art of war.

15. little kid is the catylist

16. EA likes money

17. trees magically appearing

18. sheps voiced under little boys

19. shep does not have a breathing mask on ( in mass effet 1 when your elevetor stops shep says "suit up" then you fight up the citidel tower

19.5 little kid smirks at you when you choos merge or control

20. EA   aka rEApers like money


im not grasping at straws. more like grasping at pen15es

add if you have anyhting

Idk if anyone has said this but Shepard looks to turn into a Reaper both through the Synthesis and Control options and not through the Destroy option.


He doesn't look like he's turning into a Reaper, he's just burning to ashes in the Control and Synthesis ending, but not in the Destroy ending, which is why Destroy is the only ending where Shepard can actually live.


i doubt that when you get burned up, your eyes change color and youre skin looks exactly like reaper tech. In fact its quite possible that Shepard was reconstructed with Reaper tech and burning off his skin revealed this.

even if the codes are changed I'm pretty sure the reaper IFF is a physical object you found on the derelict reaper and its probably the only thing on the normandy that could be capible of indoctronation


An IFF is not a physical object, it's only software.

So yeah, no.



http://images1.wikia.../Reaper_IFF.png 

then I guess this is a human OSD? if thats the case then I got nothing unless shepard's implants are reaper in origin but wouldn't the prothean AI be sounding off every possible alarm it had?

It's Maleshep's voice too. I'm guessing they included both whether you played male or female to make it sound more haunting and less evident it's in fact shepard's voice behind the child's

The more I read here the more I'm upset I didn't choose destroy the first time. I should have payed more attention :)
But what an amazing trick!

Is it just me or is something odd with Joker's eyes at ending scene?



I also noticed that something is not right....


I didn't see anything there... but look at Shepards eyes when he chooses the control option.

They turn into TIM/Saren's eyes.


Could be a simple coincidence. And does this change if you were more Renegade in your playthrough?


Not sure, I chose control in a second playthrough with basically full paragon, chose all paragon options etc. And I ended up with purple TIM/Saren eyes.

A better example of when Meer talks can be found at: 3:53 - 3:58, when he says 'You will die, you will control us, but you will lose everything you have'

I just want to say...

I love each and everyone of you working on this Indoctrination theory. If it wasn't for you guys, I would have lost hope a while ago.

The Catalyst saying "You have hope. More than you think" gives me so much hope for some super secret ending... I'm freakin' out right now.

To me it's clear that GC is being deceitful. Any comments?


Yes, and by contrast he bends over backwards when discussing the destroy option to list the parade of terribles that will happen if Shepard chooses that.  After all, GC is Harbinger's projection -- and Harbinger is lying through his synthetic teeth.  The Reapers are on the ropes.  The Crucible has docked with the Citadel.  Organics are on the precipice of unleashing their super-weapon against the Reapers.  And so Harbinger will do/say anything at all to avoid that -- he's desperate.

The only thing that is still kinda messy for me is that, assuming "Destroy" is the ending you need to choose to "wake up". Does that mean that Shep would be willing to sacrifice every Geth and EDI? Isnt that a bit too renegade of a choice?. I mean, my paragon Shep does imply that Geth should be considered living persons in one point of the game. I think it was while I was debating with the Admirals aboard the Normandy.

That was the only reason I didn't choose "Destroy" at the end. I just couldn't bring myself to kill every Geth and EDI.


EDIT: Even if it doesnt really end up happening. If it`s just to "wake up". How did she/he know?

He's being completely deceitful. Especially with the fact that if you choose Control or Synthesis, he hangs around and kind of smirks at you when in Destroy he disappears almost immediately.
