 i had a revelation as i continued playing yesterday and prepared to play tonight (just waiting for my son to go to bed).  please pardon my rambling - i am not the most organized writer, and add to that the fact that i work night shift and don't always get enough sleep to make sense.

as of right now, there seem to be three camps:
1) accept ending as is because they "get it" (clear minority)
2) accept ending as indoctrination (unknown, but likely a minority)
3) do not accept endings (unknown for fact, but obviously a big number)

now, i am firmly entrenched in the "do not accept" camp.  however, as i tried to get to sleep this morning, my fuzzy brain started thinking about the ending from the indoctrination camp.  not in acceptance, as a purely hypothetical exercise.  my brain doesn't function normally while i work night shift.

in scenario 2 or 3, i realized, we were still lied to.  why is this?

well, in scenario 3, it is because we were not given the endings promised by all the viedo and magazine interviews.  at this point, we have been given some rather ambiguous PR run-around-and-stall-for-time statements about how "everyone at bioware is hard at work" addressing our concerns.  what does this mean?  likely, DLC

in scenario 2, it is because we have not been sold a complete game.  why not?  because if (and this is a pretty big if) we accept that Shepard has been indoctrinated, and if (and this is a pretty big if) we accept that everything after Harbinger "hits" Shepard with the dream gun is a hallucination, and if (and this is a pretty big if) we accept that what happens "on" the Citadel did not happen because it is an internal struggle inside Shepard's head, then that little "half breath" scene just before the credits roll means that the game is not actually over.  why?  because the scene on the Citadel technically did not happen at all.  When Shepard takes that little half breath, he is still back in London, and the Reapers are still beating the stuffing out of our combined forces.  what does this mean?  likely DLC

in both scenario 2 and 3, the ending means we need DLC.

in both scenario 2 and 3, it means we were sold an incomplete game.  BioWare knew this and already has the endings ready to go - they are stalling because they did not expect the player base to catch onto their plan inside the first week.  they need more time to "work" on the ending because if they release it too soon, they will give away the fact that they cut the ending from the game to sell it to us later.

this is more disappointing than the ending was.

hold the line
