By itself that might mean something but it's got too much backing it.....you haven't touched the file names for TIM controlling Shepard. You haven't touched the fact that BioWare clearly planned for IT....all you got is that it was cut but you never address the overshadowing issue that TIM does controll you and that none of it makes any sense unless you took into account BioWare's INTENDED course of action. It's all right there.....you grasp at the minor strawn but never really address any of the major issues.
BioWare didn't expect the kind of lashback they got so they set to make things right....why wouldn't they do what they planned in the first place especailly since all polls proved most are willing to accept the solutiopn? You poinnt at double talk that again has been proven to be double speak with BioWare both claiming to change nothing and that we know nothing or we'd react differently.....both can't be true, period.
After all this you seriously claim that I am ignoring evidence? You have none.
File names mean
nothing. It's been told, and told, over and over again in this thread and other places that
assets and resources get used and re-used. To change the hard-location of the source to directly apply to the current asset or resource only would require a significant amount of extra work. Just because a 3d object starts life being planned as one thing does
not mean that it ends life there. File names alone can
not be realistically considered as any part of evidence for
or against IT.
Bioware planned a sequence for IT. They scrapped the sequence for IT. We ended up with a sequence where TIM controls Shepard. We have no idea the sense of scale that Bioware was considering; only that it involved losing control of your character while also having dialogue. What we have in the TIM scene seems pretty clear to me that the TIM scene is what replaced it. I don't see how TIM being able to control you is evidence that you are Indoctrinated by the Reapers. He is clearly using control-tech he created on Sanctuary.
Bioware's INTENDED course of action can only be guessed at because we only know bits and pieces. We know there was "a" sequence. You say that I am grasping at minor straws, but not addressing the major issues. WHAT ARE THE MAJOR ISSUES? I'll address anything and everything.
The EC is going to clarify and provide closure. We can argue for hours what that means, exactly. That doesn't matter, though. You are missing the point of my arguments. It's not that I have evidence to prove you wrong; it's that the evidence you provide does
not make IT a fact.
