Let's just break this down.
Game ending- a point in the story where the narrative concludes
ME3 was promised to be an extremely amazing ending. The fight up the citadel is extremely awesome and so is the "Goodbye" to the crew.
You are hung up on the fact that DLC or ME4 is not an option and that's where your logic seems to bind you in your little box.
Think outside the box.
1. You are right. Reapers are still alive.
2. That means Truth DLC or ME4 will come next. Finish fight against Reapers and Collector's.
Regarding the Bioware quotes:
1. People are twisting their words.
2. If you told your gf you never wanted to get married, would you then tell her you wanted to get married before getting engaged or would you SUPRISE her with an engagement.
3. We are talking about Bioware who killed off their main character in the beginning of ME2. They've done some pretty crazy crap.
4. Many in-game items point to Indoc.
5. Bioware has had many opp. to deny Indoc.
6. Jessica has seen new content and has created a Indoc playthrough.
7. IT'S A THEORY. It's a discussion of the game. Not grasping at straws. My proof is ME1 and ME2. The writers are not idiots and I give them more credit to create such an intricate ending.
8. If you know what the ending DLC is then please post it for everyone. Otherwise, NO ONE but BIOWARE knows what the ending DLC is. IF INDOC WAS INTENDED, then they will lay it all out for people who do not understand.
9. There could be more DLC on the way. MP DLC came out this past week and they only announced it 5 days before it came out.
Let me stop you at ME4. If there is a ME4, was it not confirmed that any further mass effect games, would either not take place after 3, but before or during, and not be Shepards story.
Now, if Shepard is alive, and the reapers are still alive, ME4 would very much still be Shepards problem.
Case closed right there.
Let's look empircally. Name another hero on another console who's game's stopped at 3. Zelda, Samus, Mario, Snake, etc.
But one interesting example is HALO. A triliogy is what they said and guess who is the star of Halo 4. MC.
The other interesting thing is the ending of 3 left fans with a CLIFFHANGER THAT MC WAS ALIVE.
Sound familiar.
If Bioware wanted to suprise their fans, who announce it early instead of just leaving a cliffhanger at ME3 that shows Shepard alive. He is either coming back in DLC or ME4.
The difference between Halo 3 despite having slight similiarities to their endings is that there was closure. Halo 3 really had only had a handful of characters people cared about, and all of their stories were resolved by the end by dying (Sarge, Keyes), going home (Arbiter) and trapped in unknown space (MC & Cortana). The biggest point of all is at the end you actually felt like you won, your sacrifice was being stuck in unknown space and it was worth it.
Mass Effect 3 had none of that. No closure, everything was left as uncertain. You're not sure what will become of the fleets you assembled, unsure of what happens to your crew/squad and you definately never feel like you defeated anybody. What I felt like was Shepard at the end turned into a lamb for slaughter for now real rhyme or reason so Bioware can tack on some psuedo artsy ending to show how hip they are. I am fine with sacrifice, that my character has to die. I chose the sacrifice ending in DA:O purposely because I felt it fit my character the best, it was their journey. I never felt that in Mass Effect 3.
As for the OP, you aren't really breaking knew ground here. Anybody who has watched the endings understands all your points. Since it was Bioware intent to have "speculation" everything is obviously up to interpretation. I don't believe the Indoc Theory for many of the same reasons you do, but until Bioware comes out and says it is wrong there is now real way to prove it wrong.
