Hallucinating is an effect of BEING indoctrinated not them ATTEMPTING to.

The theory clearly says he hallucinated all the ending, so he is IN FACT then already indoctrinated.

You really can't have it both ways. He is or he isn't what one? hallucination means you have already been indoctrinated.


This absolutely does not follow. Why not be able to hear whispers or "see ghostly presences" before you completely give into the reapers? Especially if it's a process over a long period of time. Besides, the idea that he passes out right under a reaper and has some visions is a lot easier to explain than:

-Your squadmates, who should have been injured/killed running to the conduit, teleporting to the Normandy

-Joker fleeing the battle through a Mass Relay for no reason

-Shepard falling THROUGH SPACE MASTER CHIEF STYLE through Earth's atmosphere, landing back in London or somewhere else with grey rubble, and surviving

If IT is right then explain the way out for DLC, no way back from Indoctrination, Saren shot himself, you will say anything no matter how flimsy to support it but the rules of IT prevent Shepard from returning, if he didn't give in and choose what the Reapers want he's dead, why would they leave him alive if they regard him so highly to try turn, he's their biggest threat and can kill him while he's dreaming about Joker's lucky escape with your companions that where on Earth. If you chose control or synthesis you are now a reaper agent, so what now in the DLC do you play as a Husk? or do we get another dream where everything is false, nothing is real.

Not zero sum.  Hallucination not indicative of successful Inndoctrination.  Attempting to create own rules now, unnecessary.

Should argue based on facts, not emotions.


Those ARE all facts though. There is no beating it. They get you and you are done for. If Shepard is hallucination then he is in the later stages of indoctrination. 

He is 100% screwed then at the point the theory ends. He will not be playable unless we want to play with either a husk or a drooling brain dead idiot as Shepard.

Becoming agitating. If interested in arguing theory, please read posts already present in thread.

Indoctrination Theory name leads to slight confusion. Argument not that Shepard successfully Indoctrinated.

Would prove...problematic.

Not necessarily.  Argument posed is that hallucination is final stages, attempt.  Metaphor for what is happening inside Shepard's mind.  Brought on by near death experience.  Like dream, not actual successful conversion.  Visual representation of his struggle following devastating, near death blast.

But no. According to the games lore and mechanics someone experiencing hallucination are already indoctrinated. It explains this all in ME2 on the deralict reaper mission. Its explained many other times in the 3 games. Its explained in the Wiki. Its explanied in codex.

Nothing I am sayng is ASSUMING anything. That's what YOU are doing, assuming a hallucination is him fighting it. The facts say if you hallucinate you ARE already indoctrinated.

Ok thats cool it ereased what I wrote -


Anyway, no I am not making assumption which is what you are doing. 

According to all the lore once you are at the stages of Indoc where you see hallucinations you are pretty much done.

You and the threory assume that the hallucination is Shep fighting it off. There is no proof of that in the games but I have shown proof, from the games, you can't beat it and if you are already having hallucinations you are already to far gone.

If Shep got indoctrinated at the end by the beam and is having hallucinations from it that quickly, he is already a goner.

So again, Indoc theory leaves off and we are left with a Hush Shep or a breain dead drooling idiot.

 It still makes more sense than any rationale Bioware can muster up.  There's just too many seemingly intentionally weird or fallicious points to the ending to pass it off as 'meant to be taken metaphorically' or bad writing.  I mean shooting the Illusive Man in self defense is a Renegade action!


I mean, there's no doubt that the final moments are abstract and meant to be taken metaphorically, including the choice between the three and the Normandy/Gilligan stuff. The difference is, if it's a reflection of Shepard's subconscious, than it's effective storytelling and a really brave creative choice that still has potential. If it's literal in addition to symbolic.....then it's quite miserably bad.

The mental damage from indoctrination is severe and permanent. As Shepard saw, the captured salarians on Virmire had been turned into shambling husks, who either attacked on sight or just stood awaiting orders. Only people with immense mental strength are able to resist indoctrination, and even then, only for a short time. Matriarch Benezia used her abilities to keep a 'haven' in her mind free of indoctrination, hoping for a chance to use it, but this meant she was effectively trapped in her own mind, watching in horror as she committed atrocities on Saren's orders. When mortally injured on Noveria, a despairing Benezia refused Shepard's offer of help and chose to die, saying "I am not myself, I never will be again."

The only person who fully escaped indoctrination's grip was Shiala, but her case was unique; Sovereign's control was supplanted by the Thorian's when she was exchanged for the Cipher, which ended with the Thorian's demise—a scenario unlikely to be repeated.

Shep is not a synthetic.

The AI/VI doesn't say Shep will die and more importantly, depending on choices Shep doesn't die.

But the only reason Shep is alive is bacause of the synthetic part..If all the parts stop working or taken away ..Shepard would die.

Saren is fulfilling everything needed of him, regardless of how much he believes he is lesser indoctrinated...?? So you're telling me there is concise evidence that he doesn't just believe that because he is indoctrinated and doesn't want to believe it?

I did this because I had to... ? To stop them.. making me do it anyway? This weird logic is... deja vu. I played the games.. but I always took it that he was half way there regardless of what got said. He was struggling with himself before being fully indoctrinated,, the same way I view Shepard.

"The more control Sovereign has over a person, the less capable they become. Saren realized that to keep his mind free of Sovereign's control, he had to make himself an invaluable resource. He believed that Sovereign would allow him a reprieve from indoctrination, because the Reaper needed Saren's mind intact to find the Conduit. "

Also.. Saren BELIEVES this.. Belief is an important word here.

Believe strongly we are looking at different sides of mountain.  You are on cold side, insist snowy mountain.  I am on warm side, insist sandy, no snow at all.  Arguing unnecessarily in the mean time.

Believe common point needs to be found before continuing.  Must make sure.  Are you aware I am not arguing Shepard is Indoctrinated?

Your not understanding the theory. It's not that Shepis indoctriated...It's that he is in the process of indoctrination. What you posting is what happen once the person is full indoctrinated. Shepard is not, he's just in the early levels of it.

MassEffected,

How do you explain the video logs in ME2 of the crew? They were clearly not fully indoctrinated (a brain dead husk as you say) but they were still having visions that weren't their own and remembering things that are not theirs.

Being a husk =/= Indoctrinated. It means the Reapers are manipulating you for their goals, however subtle it may be,

I have to say, none of what that article says disproves indoctrination at all. We don't know the full ins and outs of how indoctrination fully works, but the clues are clearly there for those who notice them. I mean, Reapers are pretty dang sophisticated machines, aren't they?

But the indoctrination with the salarians was direct and brutal. They knew they were being indoctrinated and couldn't help to stop it. They ended up nuts and were almost useless. The indoctrination with Shepard has been slow and has found a way throught his guilt. This is the way indoctrination works the best because Shepard didn't fully notice he was being indoctrinated and neither did the players. That's why this theory is awesome. It tricks you, confuses you and your motivations to end up like Saren or the Illusive man without even noticing it. So in the end the three choices are not what they are said to do but what they represent. And destroy is the only one that saves you.

Hey Moron. I have to assume you are a moron because I said this already. I really don't have patience today to repeat myself so PAY ATTENTION THIS TIME.

There is NO fully or half or a quarter indoctrinated. You just ARE.

Saren at the start of ME1 was INDOCTRINATED but still had free will. It doesnt say he is only slightly a little teeny tiny iota of indoctrinated does it? INDOCTRINATED.


You people are idiots. Im tired of this. You do not know the lore. You are half ass fans. Go paly the games again. Go read the Wiki's again

EDUCATE YOURSELVES. I played the dam games OVER 40 time each. I think I played ME3 about 70 times. It is un healthy how many dam times I played the games.

YOU do NOT know the lore.

They said that "We’re working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we’ve received."

That really means "we're trying to satisfy our fans without admitting that we screwed up"

So they're not going to rewrite the ending so the only viable option in the indoctrination theory.

Please by all means outline your actual arguments and proof. Listen i get it, you like mordin. I like mordin too. If you are going to outline your arguments properly please please type normal. If you have some persona thing going and it means you have to do it by pm to do it normally then do it my pm.

Explain how the statement by catalyst contradict. Explain these npc dialogue mistakes. etc etc.


Unsure how position is unclear.

Catalyst says Shepard will die if choosing option most harmful to Reapers. Shepard in fact only lives if choosing this option. NPC looking in direction of Shepard states that Shepard is not alive, despite showdown with Marauder Shields. Anderson fails to visibly react to being shot in gut. Death suspicious. Not hard evidence, but curious.

Choices not detrimental to Reapers align with goals given to previous Indoctrination victims. Catalyst argument that Reapers are in fact saviors contradictory to Reaper testimony and previous actions. Promises of destruction, annihilation. Arrogance and near hatred, not goal to defend from synthetics.

Also contradictory. Synthetics shown more compassionate than organics throughout series.  Further, Reapers enlist aid of synthetics for destruction of organics.  Contradiction too blatant to ignore.


Sorry but if that is the best you have it is not good enough.
 
The catalyst states the geth will die along with the reapers and says,

'even you are partially synthetic.'

Now on the lower destruction endings the catalyst  inserts into that dialogue that much of  your technology will be destroyed, before saying even you are partially synthetic. In that ending the synthetic components inside shepard stop working, and you do not get a scene at the end where he breathes, and that is the reason you do not get that scene.  On higher levels the dialogue about technology being damaged is removed and the only inference is that the geth and reapers will die, aka synthetic life. Shepard is not synthetic life. He has a biological human brain, and this was specifically confirmed in 3.  If shepard dies in that scenario then everyone with an artificial organ does too. 

Also the catalyst specifically says you die if you choose control or synth. So that part of indoc is in the bin. 

The comment on the npc and anderson are zero evidence. Andersons body is being moved like a puppet, just like shepards was when he fired the gun. His expression changes because he has control of his ability to speak and emote.  But his body does not react because he is not in control of it at the time. The NPC voice over is dramatic effect, nothing more. It is meant to relate to you the player the hopelessness of the situation. It is a storytelling convenience.

The least damaging goals aligning to saren and the illusivemans wishes mean nothing. Had the illusive mans goal been to cure a disease but his method been the same extensive human testing he performed in the game, it would make the choice to cure the disease no more or no less moral.

As a mordin fan you of all people should understand this. Mordin wished to cure the genophage, but was unwilling to  do the experiments on live subjects which his protege went forward with. It meant that both their golas were aligned but did not make mordins choice to cure the genophage any more or less moral. Similarly, choosing to control the reapers does not imply one is indoctrinated, especially since the option to control them is built into the crucible, a device built at great cost to open up new solutions to the problem the reapers were created to address, to offer the catalyst a better alternative. 


Soverign described organic life as something to be wiped out in me1, then in the same conversation talked about the cycle. While soverign may have been tough talking, if the reapers really did want all life wiped out as he says, then why did they not reap earth 50 k years ago. We have a mass relay in our system. All the key races in the current ME universe vould have been wiped out but were not. So no matter how tough soverign talked, even back in ME1 the cycle of reaping and more importantly not reaping had been established.  Also, looking at ME3, i think the reapers were making pretty good on their promise. We would have been destroyed. 

Finally the reapers enlisting the aid of synthetics to wipe out organics is totally reasonable. It is for wiping out us specifically. Their intention from the beginning of ME1 had never changed. They come every 50 k years and wipe out advanced life. Our existence in the game is the proof that their word is true because if they wanted to wipe out all life we would have been gone before we could even be called humans.

NO. That's not how it works. I will paste it for you - 

Long-term physical effects of the manipulation are unsustainable, Higher mental functioning decays, ultimately leaving the victim a gibbering animal. Rapid indoctrination is possible, but causes this decay in days or weeks. Slow, patient indoctrination allows the thrall to last for months or years. 

[color=rgb(255, 255, 255)">But the Reapers viewed them as disposable. When they disappeared back through the ] relay, the Reapers abandoned their indoctrinated slaves, leaving them to starve or die of exposure.[/color] 


So when the Reapers went back to Dark Space, and the signal stopped and see above for what happens.

Doesn't matter HOW the signal stopped. Death or hibernating, the victim is screwed. 



EDIT- compare Saren at the start of ME1 to Shepard is ANY game.

Saren at the start was only SUBTLY indoctrinated and just look at all the bad thing he did in support of the Reapers.

Now compare Shep, at any point in any game. Did he ever do a single thing to help the Reapers? NOPE

Now if you say Shep gets indoctrinated at the beam, it was a RAPID indoc and he is a BRAIN DEAD HUSK no matter what. PERIOD. 




Isn't this still boiling down to that whole point where you seem to think we full on believe they're indoctrinated. Do I think Harbinger has a beam that causes indoctrination?? No lol. I think he hit the floor infront and you ended up unconscious, yes.

I'm saying like many others, it is likely you are always in some sort of dreamlike weakened sleepy state when you have these hints of being indoctrinated. It is a constant lull. Shepard being who he is hasn't allowed him to get anywhere near Saren's state, though this could be the case upon waking from this.. and choosing the wrong thing. Even Saren wasn't fully indoctrinated... If you can shoot yourself you are not totally under control. Or at least that's the way I view it.


That is such MASSIVE fail.

Near Sarens state? Again if you knew ANYTHING about ME1 you would know how fail that statement is.

Saren at the start of ME1 was at the weakest point of indoctrination.... again 10 seconds of research you could have found this yourself:

[color=rgb(255, 255, 255)">But as ] discovered during his research into indoctrination at the facility, there is a balance between control and usefulness. The more control Sovereign has over a person, the less capable they become. Saren realized that to keep his mind free of Sovereign's control, he had to make himself an invaluable resource. He believed that Sovereign would allow him a reprieve from indoctrination, because the Reaper needed Saren's mind intact to find the [/color]Conduit


DERPPPPPPPPPPPP Saren was still MOSTLY in control of himself and again, look at all the terrible things he did BEFORE VIRMIRE when Sovy implanted him after meeting Shep there.


YOU DO NOT KNOW THE LORE THAT IS CLEAR.



Seran found out well after the procces started. When he tryed to fight back and resist...It was too late.
