It's interesting how the nay-sayers in here right now haven't played "The Arrival", it's almost like that DLC changed our perspective of the ending.

The Arrival was released when they were already in production for ME3.

This.  And my point in saying that not doing Arrival is sub-canon is because such a person has less information than the rest of us.  So while their story may be sorta canon, it is an incomplete canon compared to ours.

Less information? How so?

Well you see, DLC's are stored on a hard disk, which contains data, also known as information.

Are you going to come up with a real answer, or make another bad joke?

And there's where more perspective comes in

*My* Shepard did every single mission he could, *my* Shepard was the one that halted the reapers further by making the tough call in the Viper Nebula, *my* Shepard didn't let a whole platoon of soldiers take my place, *my* shepard was fighting indoctrination for the entire time after my contact with a reaper artifact, and *my* Shepard will most likely wake up to finish the fight in the "extended" scene, or subsequent DLC.

So, we would enjoy watching cutscenes of the real fight, railroading us to the real ending? People are going to get mad, don't you think?

I didn't buy it because a lot of people thought it was crap.

I watched it all on YouTube and saw that I wasn't missing out on much, so I didn't bother wasting my money.

Oh, so your Shepard is the right Shepard and my Shepard is wrong?

I see.

Not wrong, just didn't do as much as mine did.

No, but his Shepard is more complete.  He's done more than yours.  Your experience can be mathematically expressed as a fraction of his.

That is not true. Many players didn't even play the first two games. Do you think Bioware would just reserve a "special treatment" for previous owners, and let down newcomers?

Can't find the link, but it's a forum topic on here.  It'll pop up to the top again.  About 500 people took the survey last I checked.  It's run by a guy with a Salarian avatar - Zolt15 or something.

One thing Bioware said that I can agree with, nothing is canon.

[/quote]If they believed that themselves, the words "artistic integrity" would not once have escaped their lips.
[/quote]

I feel that this is a little different. When they say "artistic integrity", they believe in the artistic vision of the ending. They feel that how they made the ending was good, the quality, the symbolism, whatever.

When they say, "Nothing is canon", everyone has their own story. There is no "true" story.

[/quote]
um there is not one poll that ive seen that the majoity thinks the IT is real
if there is a poll show it
the whole theory has more holes in it than the ending
ive asked this before and didnt get a response so ill ask agian
EVERY time we went agianst a rEAper we blown it to hell or had a giant worm crush it so how was shep indoc?
how come TIM was able to control shep and anderson
why wasnt anyone else affected
anderson was on earth a lot longer than shep and he wasnt affected so wtf?
see that was just 4 holes im questioning about this BS IT 
the whole theroy is baseless when given FACTS from the game makes the IT just poorly conceved fan fic
sorry IT belivers but it makes no since if you really think on it
[/quote]

TIM was guiding Shepard along in Mass Effect 2 and he was indoctrinated. The answer lies in the degree of indoctrination.

TIM would only be able to control shepard and anderson through indoctrination. However, their minds aren't affected? it's not real.

why wasn't anyone else affected by what?

Anderson wasn't hit by Object Rho.

[/quote]
huh
how do you get TIM was indocted in me2
why wasnt anyone else affected by "this indoc"
and thats what i was getting at.    [/quote]

He was indoctrinated from Shanxi, in Mass Effect: Evolution, long before the events of mass effect 2.

Shepard was the only one in his squad hit by Object Rho.

[/quote]
is that from the books cause if so whoever wrote it didnt play me2 cause TIM was trying to stop collectors who work for rEApers "i might add" and it still begs to ask the question if he was indoc in the events of me2 why did he spend all that time mony and resorses to stop them if he worked for them
think about that alittle and you will see my problem [/quote]

yes, and it fits. Indoctrination is a slow process. Just because the process had started doesn't mean TIM had lost control. He has been resisting it all this time.

[/quote]
please tell me you are kidding that makes no since at all
thanks for the laugh i needed it after the crapy ass ending we have[/quote]

Remember how Saren was indoctrinated? And then after we spoke to him he began to have doubts? and then Sovereign had him implanted, and then he was loyal again (more indoctrinated). There are varying degrees of indoctrination.

Fact: TIM was indoctrinated by a reaper artifact on Shanxi during the contact war.
Fact: TIM was still able to help us during Mass Effect 2 despite said indoctrination.
Fact: In Arrival, Shepard gets hits by a similar artifact, which has indoctrinated everyone else it has hit.

I'm not kidding, but hey if it made you laugh good for you. It would be better if you could understand though.

No, it will add variation depending on "previous" choices, yeah the "only ending" would be destroying the reapers or at least Harbinger, but it will show footage of  the after amth of all the desicions you made. Tali's house on Rannoch perhaps, the rammifications of curing or not curing the Krogan, etc

That wasn't a joke.  The size of the data on the DLC is highly correlated with the amount of experience it generates for the player, and experience is information.  Forgive me for thinking this was intuitively obvious.  By day, I'm a software architect.

What he means is Arrival dictates a portion of the stories plot development.

He may be infering that Arrival brings some form of answer to a question posed at the end of the game ...... but I don't know if he is or not.

Either way from what I read the point he is trying to make should be reconsidered because Arrival doesn't give us any relevant information as to Shepards status at the end of the game.

I wish I knew what he was trying to say.

So, you talk about canon and story, and then a smart-ass response about data.

And then you try and tie it in with your smart-ass response to justify your bad joke.

You are already accepting the endings as is, Shepard dies in all 3 endings. But you want to play more? How would this work without IT?

[Iconoclaste]

So, players who did play the whole series are "entitled" to have the "truth" revealed to them, but newcomers will simply get spoon-fed a cutscene end battle, with no connection to what they would have learned in ME3 only? That is not realistic.

You have the right to believe that math cannot describe a person whose experience is limited to part 3 as a fraction of those who played the entire series and all DLC, just as you have the right to disbelieve in math itself.  I won't stop you.

I'm not sure where he's going with this, but I hope what he meant is: The DLC, the comics and of course the games all have relevant background information to the story. If you ignore some of it, then you're going to miss a good chunk.

It's interesting how the nay-sayers in here right now haven't played "The Arrival", it's almost like that DLC changed our perspective of the ending.

The Arrival was released when they were already in production for ME3.

This.  And my point in saying that not doing Arrival is sub-canon is because such a person has less information than the rest of us.  So while their story may be sorta canon, it is an incomplete canon compared to ours.

Less information? How so?

Well you see, DLC's are stored on a hard disk, which contains data, also known as information.

Are you going to come up with a real answer, or make another bad joke?

That wasn't a joke.  The size of the data on the DLC is highly correlated with the amount of experience it generates for the player, and experience is information.  Forgive me for thinking this was intuitively obvious.  By day, I'm a software architect.

So, you talk about canon and story, and then a smart-ass response about data.

And then you try and tie it in with your smart-ass response to justify your bad joke.

Irrationality will get you nowhere.

Uh-huh.
