As I said, what else are they trying to say? Why is Shepard back in London?

Either he never left London, or Bioware decided that Shepard landed back on Earth while riding the atmosphere and survived, even though it caused him to turn into a burnt crisp in ME2.

I'm open to discussion here, what happened?

Who says Shepard is in London after picking Destroy?


Because thats very obviously where he is if you look at the background in the video. The only other option is the Citadel, however there's no concrete or rebar on the Citadel that we know of, and the color pallete is the same as London. The Citadel also... explodes.




Check it out. Let me know what you think.

Seriously, I recommend the Final Hours app, got some great info.


This is PROOF that they WERE working on an end game where shepard WAS indoctrinated, However...this does not mean that they are not now. This just means that they dropped the PART where shepard loses control and most likely went with another way to indoctrinate your shepard.

This does NOT disprove the I.T., in fact it proves it! They are just approaching it differently as they WERE trying to figure out a way to use indoctrination...funny thing is, everything in game is pointing to it!

All that it says is that they were working on a gameplay mechanic.

Doesn't mean they scrapped the idea completely from the story.  Just the gameplay portion.

You are simply proposing a false dilemma. We don't even know if he is London nor do we even know if he left the Citadel. And no, there are more possibilities to Shep's leaving the Citadel than the "two options" you present.

Your assertion that if something is unexplained it must be proof of Indoctrination is ludicrous.

The difference is that the player would have known of the indoctrination attempt with the mechanic in place. Without it, the implication is that the player was not aware and it was never revealed. This would make the ending worse than face value.

We don't know what happened to Kelly after the Citadel was taken over. Maybe she was indoctrinated!


I'm entertaining the idea that indoctrination is possible to an open-ended question. It could be the Citadel, but it looks more like London to me. The reason being that they could have very easily had at least a few glowy bits or something to say "THIS IS THE CITADEL" whereas empty grunge and dust was pretty appropriate for the scenery in London.

What I find humorous is that IT folks don't even realize it doesn't say indoctrination anywhere in the paragraph....

Then that's even worse because the game says shepard became a legend by ending the reaper threat. If IT is correct, he did no such thing. The reapers are still alive and kicking and Shepard is bleeding out next to a disabled conduit.

Shepard is in fact in London at the breath sceen...

You picked destroy and destroyed ALL reaper tech including the citadel. Shepard was in a vaccume when he/she was talking to the catalyst. Some say that it was a mass effect field... well ok. Problem is, that when it blew up...all the power in the citadel went down leaving shep in a vaccume.  How in the HELL do you breath in a vaccume?

"Suddenly lose control of Shepards movements and fall under reaper control." =/= indoctrination

Indoctrination is a subtle process, unless the reapers were willing for Shepard to become a mindless derp like 3 seconds later.

No no no no...Bioware went with the direction of indoctrinating you AND your shepard.

Since the game is one of immersion with your shepard (meaning that its YOUR story) then you cant indoctrinate your shepard without getting the player to think that they are not indoctrinated.....Its called being "artistic"!

Mass Effect is not a thinking game. To make the player think in the last 10 minutes of the game is another sign of bad writting. You completely change the mechanic of your story and don't even prepare your audience for it.

This is not a twist unless it is revealed to be. If we saw Shepard wake up in all three version where two of them he wakes up with husk eyes and one without, then That would have made players think and would have tipped people off.

Not really. They would have had a better effect with the mechanics in place. When you're indoctrinated, you do things without knowing why.

If Shep suddenly started walking around without you pressing W, this would give the effect of you(Player+Shepard) being indoctrinated.

Did you know that the lighting in the chamber was coming from one source of light, the crucible. Without it, it's most likely the room would have been dark just like the final scene.

There's no indication of whether power was completely off or on in the Citadel.

I cant believe that "some" people are saying that its bad writing (and actually believing that with no evidence) when all the evidence points to it and the same "some" of people criticise the pro-I.T. people for believing it with evidence.

For those who believe it to be bad writing, wouldn't the end product actually be the proof of it?

Form what we saw and know, the hart of the citadel was destroyed meaning no shepard. But even in a clear explosion of the hart of it where shepard was you can still say that he/she was not hit by it.

The evidence is the badly written ending... The fact that IT exists in the first place is all the evidence that is required.

IT was never planned, we know this because when they announced what was to become EC it was described as "content initiatives which are separate from the company's pre-existing plans to continue the Mass Effect universes expansion."
