 Fairly new poster on this forum, but I have to put this down, just as a record of what I hope could occur, but know is very unlikely.

After long conversations and debate with friends who have played through ME3 as well, I have subscribed to the Indoctrination theory. It makes the most sense of any answer I've gotten, and it is the only explanation of the ending that lets me understand how a writing staff that has done such great work before (and there are great moments throughout ME3) could just fizzle away at the ending (whether rushed by EA or no). That being said, I've been thinking.

What would it mean if an ending DLC was planned from the beginning? If, as it were, we are 'indoctrinated' on a meta level by the indoctrination ending, and BioWare eventually releases a free DLC that not only validates this, but then proceeds to show what happens in the end of the game (maybe showing war assets fighting and various party members living or dying). What would this do to ME3?

To me, if this is true and BioWare is 'in' on this ending debate and has planned something to deal with it...the thought fills me with excitement. How incredible an experience; presenting an ending that seems "unacceptable at first" and then proving that it is not only acceptable, but preferable, through subtle clues and plot manipulation?

Of course, this only works with the indoctrination theory being the 'true' end.

I was just wondering what everyone would think about that. Personally, I would see it as an incredible, ingenius move (assuming the DLC was free. If not then things get even iffier on the moral question of releasing the game); one befitting of a company that has, for two prior games (and much of ME3) blown me away.
