[quote]1 Shepards voice is in the catalysts own voice mimicking him meaning that shepard is reapeating what the catalsyt is saying throught the catalsyt himself! This is odd because it clearly states that it is in shepards head![/quote]
Both male and female Shepard's voices are in the Catalyst's voice. Is his twin sister there repeating things to?
[quote]2 If you pick control or synthesis shepard eyes turn into the illusive mans eyes. Why? This is not how TIM got his eyes! If you pick synthesis then your eyes should turn green but they dont...They turn into the illusive mans eyes! The game is giving us a clue![/quote]
Shepard's eyes turn into the exact same pattern, only it's upside down, in Mass Effect 2 if you're renegade (and in Evolution the Illusive Man's eye pattern is also upside down from what it is in the games), so if that is a clue to indoctrination, then Shepard was indoctrinated long before Mass Effect 3, and it didn't stop him from doing his job then (nor did it stop the Illusive Man from taking down the Collectors), which means it wouldn't now.
[quote]3. The rachni queen says that indoctrination is like seeing "Oily Shadows". We see oily shadows of people in our dreams.[/quote]
You see the shadows of people you've lost in your dreams, not in your waking hours.
[quote]4. The kid...He is in our dreams and at the end of the third dream we are given a warning...dont listen to the kid! You...will...Burn! Guess what?...You do in fact burn up if you trust the kid(control/synthesis)! It is not explaned why the catalyst looks like that...[/quote]
You're given no such warning. Shepard and the kid burn, and that could mean any number of things. As for why the Catalyst looks like the child, it's probably the same sort of idea as Concensus. It scanned Shepard's brain, and presented itself in a form Shepard could comprehend.
[quote]5.The normandy running...nuf said![/quote]
Joker is avoiding the giant-ass explosion. He'd be stupid not to try and do that.
[quote]6. Squadmates teleporting also nuf said.[/quote]
There was plenty of time between Harbinger's attack and Shepard's activating the Crucible for the Normandy to do a quick fly-by and pick up your stranded squad mates. Not shown, but more plausible than them simply teleporting.
[quote]7.You hear the same music at the end (catalsyt part and of the walk to the beam) as you do in the dream parts. [/quote]
It's emotional music, and it's played at various other parts of the game as well.
[quote]8. After you get hit by the beam TIM/Anderson/Catalyst/Shepard ALL have an odd eco in there voice! This eco is the same eco as you hear in your dreams from your squadmates![/quote]
You hear your squadmates whispering to you in your dreams, it echoes so that they'll sound all far away and stuff. The reason for the distortions in TIM's, Anderson's, and Shepard's voices is because the Illusive Man is using his weird psychic Reaper powers to get in your head and control your body. Notice how the distortion stops after the Illusive Man is dead.
[quote]9.When you see the relays blowing up at the end on the galaxy map thing, did you notice where the game is saying that earth is? The game is saying that its at the edge of our galaxy...this is where the Arrival DLC was at![/quote]
Which would not be proof of Indoctrination Theory anyway.
[quote]10.Shepard in Londons rubble and not on the citadel because he cant breath in a vaccume as well as it being concrete. [/quote]
You have no idea whether or not he's in London, and you have no idea whether or not that stuff is concrete. It also looks like the material in the final area of the Citadel Shepard is in. His breathing is also irrelevant because he was outside on the Citadel in the scene before and was breathing just fine, so clearly whatever Citadel tech was making that possible is still active.
So to sum it up, you proposed one, two, three... ten peices of evidence that IT is real. As for which of those peices actually is evidence of IT, there's one, two, three... none of them. None of it is evidence that points specifically to IT.
[quote]Not enough evidence one way or the other, can be argued either way, hard to make definitive statements if we accept a starting point where nothing is definitive?[/quote]
We have evidence that Shepard became a legend by ending the Reaper threat, as you know. That evidence being the game telling you directly that it happened. Let's say Shepard's exposure to Reaper tech (which is not quite as frequent as some tend to argue) does have some negative effects on him. It doesn't logically follow that the ending is an illusion. Shepard would be able to resist indoctrination long before he or she gets to the point of imagining long periods of time. Hell, Saren was balls-deep in Reaper tech by the end of the first game, as was the Illusive Man, and they weren't halucinating to the point where they were cut off from reality. As I said, IT is possible, but there is not sufficient evidence to say for sure. Certainly not enough to say that people who didn't choose destroy "failed" anything when the game itself tells us the exact opposite.
