But my interpretation would HAVE to change because the game forced it to. As far as i'm concerned everything actually happened and my Shep now has control of the reapers, that no longer being the case changes my ending.


I'm happy you feel you can control the reapers, it's not like everyone else who thought they could control them ended up indoctrinated or anything.... wait.


I didn't get the option to second guess the catalyst so I didn't. I didn't like it but I took him at his word, and control seemed like my best option.

And the scenario Shepard was presented with was nothing like anything that had happened before ever... It's not comparable to the TIMs mad plan to rule the galaxy.


This. I'm SICK to death with the whole "CONTROL IS A BAD ENDING DERP, BECAUSE THATS WHAT TIM WANTED!!!!!!!1111111" 

WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG. 

Tim wanted to control the reapers to protect and advance humanity. However, he couldn't as "we" (reapers) "already controlled him." 

The reapers don't control Shepard, so he can control them. 


Not just TIM, every other person in history who though they could control the reapers became or already was indoctrinated.


Except they weren't commander shepard. 

I picked Destroy exactly because I thought "since when has using reaper tech ever payed off?" and I stick by that, however every indication from bioware (and hell, Patrick Weekes pretty much said it) that Shepard WILL be able to control the reapers.

No. The indoctrination approach is grasping at straws.


Nice evidence there buddy :D

False, there was a funny comic about shep being a reaper casuse of how ridiculous it is and Jessica Merizan posted it on her twitter.

Yes it is changing the ending.

Current versions.

Shepard destroyes all synthethic life thereby stopping the Reapers, destroys all relays and the Citadel, Normandy crashes.

Shepard controls the Reapers thereby stopping the cycle, destroys all relays but not the Citadel, Normandy crashes.

Shepard evolves all life thereby stopping the cycle, destroys all relays and the Citadel, Normandy crashes.

With IT these things change into.

Shepard resists indoctrination, fight on in the war, wins it or whatever.

Shepard becomes indoctrinated, dooms the war and whatever.

You are changing the nature of the endings by quite a margin.


Nope, just your interpretation changes;)


[facepalm]

No. The ending changes.

I'd disagree. Outside of Arrival, Shepard hasn't been any more exposed to Reaper Tech than any of his other squad members aboard the Normandy, and they their will is less remarkable than Shepard.


You only take two with you for most the missions, Shep is a constant and therefore is more exposed than his squad.


I always see this as more of a gameplay thing. Liara goes on about Ilos, except I never took her with me (Picked Garrus and Ashley.) 

I always thought the assumption was all squad mates are with you technically, but obviously they won't appear in game due to development constraints. 


Well, you know what happens when you ass-u-me anthing right?


You get DIRECT CONTROL, of course. :D



........ I'm sorry. :pinched:

The reapers don't control Shepard, so he can control them. 


It's not just because of TIM. In fact TIM was  the closest (in this cycle anyway) to getting control of the reapers. He'd discovered how they communicated and he was able to control reaper husks, understanding indoctrination. (side note: those video logs in Cerberus base.. were they for you? if not, who?)

Rudimentary creature of blood and flesh. You think to control the Reapers' minds, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding. Confidence born of ignorance.

How much of your squad is guarantted to be on every mission from begining of ME1 to Arriavl?...Not a one.Shepard, out of the the people on you ship, is the one guarranteed to be on everymission those having the most exposer to reaper tech...Way more the his squad.

No, your perception^_^.

People have hundreds of different perceptions of the ending, the "extended" ending and "clarification" will will change those perception.

Why do you think Commander Shepard is so special that he is immune to indoctrination?

There is also subtle hints towards it during some of the crew chatter. The kid was also a sign especially when the soldiers didnt help him into the shuttle.

LoL , the reaper which destroys the two shuttles does not destroy the normandy, which is directly infront of him and what does this proof?!

If he destroyed the Normandy then the game would have ended , or maybe he knew that shepard would be indoctrinated later so he ignored the Normandy. /sarcasm out

The reapers are not the geth , they are the "appex of evolution" and the perfect machines, if they could not detect stealth by seeing it they were like the early geth.

The Reaper IFF was analyzed by EDI, no problem reproducing it.
How other way Cerberus got to the collector base on their own, gathering the reaper parts.

Lets create a fleet of ships with either stealth or reaper IFF and the reaper problem is solved.

No ressources needed for crucible , just some guerilla ships firing together on one reaper after the other , stealthing firing stealthing , tada earth is free...

The technology that was engineered on Sanctuary I'd bet.
