 Nothing really disproves the Indoctrination theory, it just says nothing about it.

Not bleak enough. You should burn down the rest of the house, his money, and get him fired from his job.

Oh, and break one of his legs.

You forgot to run off with his wife and friends.

Let's speculate:

If we all started a new Chip-In and bought one way tickets for the creative team of Bioware to Somalia or Afghanistan, do you think they would have a new appreciation of why we don't want to play their stupid dark age ending?

Afghanistan would actually be the more accurate of the two, if you want my historical opinion.  

Edmonton to Kabul $ 1580 CAD one way. We need three.

I'm sorry, but looking at those notes just makes me imagine things I'd like to do that I'd get banned for saying.

Mac 
walters is our worst enemy within the company it seems.  But don't let him get to you.  If it makes you feel better, he's likely to get in trouble for constantly pissing off fans.

Yes, Mac Walters deliberately spent all of his eight years working on the Mass Effect franchise secretly planning to release an ending that destroys all of your hopes and dreams for the future, and this one screen capture of a scan of a note with scribbles on it is proof that he's the leader of the Illuminati who are deliberately trying to ruin your fun.

To be fair, I don't think they're literally meaning "dark age" as in ca 1000 AD. They mean "relays are destroyed, no more galaxy-hopping." It makes perfect sense, especially when you consider the many hints throughout the series that by using the Reaper tech, we are subservient to their plans.

So the best way to stop being subservient to their plans was to... pick from 3 choices provided by the Reaper commander and thus be subservient to their plans.
THIS MAKES SENSE.

I'd love it if the ending felt like first Matrix. Unfortunately it felt like third matrix.

My thoughts exactly.  Did they even know what they wanted?  They wanted bleak and depressing yet happy/uplifting like the end of Matrix 1?  Matrix 1 ending had plenty of closure.  I don't understand, what the hell did they want exactly?  It felt like the end of Matrix 3.  Pretty much terrible.

I feel the need to punch something, now.

At least I had perfect saves so I could get the 'good ending' ... wait... wha?

Hey, but at least your choices mattered right?

o.o those are legit?

I thought it was a joke...

Dear lawd... one sec....

[Kulthar Drax]

I actually....ACTUALLY facepalmed when I saw the doodled crap on that notepad, and reached the "Lots of speculation from everyone!" part. I don't think anything has ever made me facepalm quite as much as that.

[Gibb_Shepard]

Lots of speculation from everyone? Christ.

Now THIS puts a bullet through the head of the indoc theory. There is absolutely no way the cultists can deny it now.

"Catalyst will create a galactic Dark Age"

I thought I couldn't be more dissatisfied with the ending...I was wrong.

Seriously. Why? You know, if ME1 and 2 hadn't ended on such uplifting notes and had this kind of bleak outlook, I wouldn't be so upset. But throwing in a Dark Age no matter what you do at the end of a serious that has had a 'defeat the odds!' theme through it and constant emphasis on choice...so frustrating. I respect their vision, but I wish this little tidbit was advertised, or I never would have bought the games in the first place.

I am having flashbacks of the 6th. Reliving the endings once more. I should go.

Yeah, I don't really understand the point in breaking the cycle, stop the reapers if the cost is...everything. All of the Mass Effect universe as we know. Everything we ever enjoyed, all the sense in the name of Mass Effect. Gone.

What...were...they...thinking?

Didn't ever go through their heads that we would ever felt like it was all for nothing? That we would feel a sense that Shepard lost anyway? As if some of the crap we ever gone through all of the journey hasn't been heartbreaking enough...

[Computer_God91]

You know what I find funny? a while ago before the game came out I jokingly hoped that there was no happy ending and that it always ended horribly. Little did I know how right on I was.

Wow, if he actually said that how horrible.

I used to make the analogy that Shepard was Odysseus but the ending turned him into Achilles.... now I know the entire ME series was really Shepard = Sisyphus. 
Btw, sorry Rob saw your "from a fan post".

Brave New World... they werent even original on the drawing board... anger...

It's not likely that he meant the book. In no small part because the book doesn't have much of anything to do with the content of ME.

He was probably just using it as a phrase referring to the sense they were going for at the end that the universe had been reset.

Hold on a sec - this interview occurred a week prior to ME3's release? Just one week? If the game was so close to launch, then why was the following even mentioned publicly?

"[The presence of the Rachni] has huge consequences in Mass Effect 3. Even just in the final battle with the Reapers." http://popwatch.ew.c...-3-mac-walters/

What? I can understand failing to live up to month old promises, but this is just blatant lying on Walter's part.

Well, I can be optimistic here. Sure, it hurts, but his words also show me that Bioware HAS writers who know how they could have made the ending great, and I am hopeful that they LISTEN to these people more when they decide how to address the ending with this upcoming DLC.

I hate what these people did. Weekes was having a conversation with friends, evidently frustrated with the reaction to the terrible ending, and then all the news outlets out it. He could've lost his job for being completely honest.

Been reading thru the PC version of Final Hours... lots of interesting stuff in it...

Interestingly, the title of Chapter 11 is "The Perfect Illusion"
Not sure if they'll reference that in the details contained in the chapter, but I just wanted to share it..

edit - Meh...nothing.

Pulled some interesting quotes from the whole thing though. Some about the leaked script, smoe thoughts about game development, and such...

Seriously, my rage and betrayal meter is off the charts right now.

If you look outside you'll see a mushroom cloud. That's me.
