it's a good thing you can't take your gun out during dialogue parts anymore cause if I could I'd be shooting that kid next time I saw him.

The people running away from the Reapers are 8-bit sprites, the guns on the airship are just scaled barrels of the Eviscerator, the Presidium commons can glitch and show the battle damage before the Cerberous attack, and Shepard has trouble keeping his eyes in place.

Art assets are just not a good indicator for things such as this.

Just one other little design thing I noticed: When I save Kelly Chambers, after talking with her, she actually references the Cerberus coup...before it happens.

I'm sure that was just Shepard's subconscious warning him/her about the possibility of a coup, though.

Joker walks without a limp in one scene in Purgatory. He also cracks his knuckles. Shepard's mind probably forgot to render Joker with his Vrolik's syndrome because s/he was busy being indoctrinated.

Makes sense; therefore, true.

Also if you rush you will see the brat just appears outside the door before entering the apartment, game design? maybe

This.  It still seems very odd to me.
I never noticed this.  Not even during my multiple Demo playthroughs.  Neither did any of my friends, even on attempts at subsiquent playthroughs.  It had to be pointed out.  The player's attention is immediately directed towards the Husks by Anderson just before the kid starts running.  You almost have to be actively looking for him to even notice him slip through the locked door.  This would seem to be a waste of programming effort.  Seeing the kid run through the lock door does nothing but make you question how he even survived.  The idea that the kid was just surviving by crawling through the ducts makes much more sense than seeing him standing on the ledge watching the Reaper-murder-show before running off through a locked door.

You don't have to rush to see him, though.  Just pay attention to the balcony instead of the enemies.  He takes his sweet time.  It is worth noting that he does not just appear out of nowhere.  He is clearly on the edge of the balcony watching the Reaper during the entire section before he decides to jog into the building.

Speculation.  hurray...

The Brain Shock warning sticker did catch my eye, though.  If nothing else, it is a hilarious way to warn people away from electrified air vents.  Though, who the @%&$ electrifies air vents?!  Is that normal for building construction?  Is there some possibility of exposed wiring coming in contact with the metal vents at some point?  Not being sarcastic.  Honestly asking here.

[webrakefornobody]

the sign is on a panel, imho it is just as (if not more) likely, that it refers to something behind that panel, like an electrical motor that opens the vent's gate (if i remember correctly they do slide up automatically throughout the series?).

This is a rather ridiculous statement. This is a popculture reference where the poster equates his line of thought  with Jackie Chans probable line of thought, ergo he RELATES/emphazises positively. How could that be racist???

Lol, what the fudge? I was refering to the picture, and I was joking.

Both engineers and graphic designers turn a bit into sadists in the future.

Though, as a graphic design student I can say I honestly have no idea what that sign is trying to convey other than, well, danger ahead.

Ok?  But the sign isn't actually on a panel...  It looks like a sticker on a completely smooth wall next to an air duct.
I'm not saying this is intentionally an easter egg or an IT hint.  It is just really out of place, and curiously so.
There is no panel, though.  At least non in 1080p.

Holy crap look at the DANGER sign

Now that you mention this...the stripes in the background are red. Red! Clearly a hint that destroy is the only right choice in the end.

I noticed this as well... Found it very very odd.

And the sticker? Come on, here in Germany a warning of electricity looks very different. Why choose this "head" with a very derpy expression and then a "lightning" directly into his brain?

Btw that's what an electricity warning looks like here, don't know about Canada/ America:

Warning: This Child will make you want to drive a spike into your own skull.

[Purple People Eater]

Ah, even more indoctrination theory fodder. Me likes.

[byne]

My question is, assuming that sign is actually there and Shep is hallucinating it or some such, what the hell kind of air duct is electrified?

heh nice find. Even if there wouldnt be any kind of these signs in real life, it's only the artists trying to be original.

Sure thing - but that face and the lightning goes INSIDE the head
Well of course it's all speculation, but I haven't seen it before and it's a nice find.

Whatever it means.

Also, the "danger" sign and your dreams warning you from the child.. Well I don't know..
Maybe indoc was planned once and they set up a few hints in game just to finally dismiss indoc shortly before the end because they had no more time?

[Siggs84]

So... Shepard's subconscious is warning him of indoctrination by putting very small warning signs of electrocution hazards in his mind? Man, Shepard needs to fire his subconscious

Well if it was indoc the signs would rather be for US I guess. You know, they would be real in the game ("danger" on the shuttle is just warning you to stay away from the heat that comes out of the drive cores-things) but they place the kid in front of it so that we as players get a strange feeling of being warned...

Oh I still wish indoc was true.

[twystedspyder]

It is not about warning Shepard. It's about warning the player. Because it is the player who has to be indoctrinated, not Shepard, for reasons that should be obvious.
