I noticed that the squad getting of the Normandy actually helps the Indoctrination theory. Since shepard knows they were able to get onto the normandy safly then it would make since for him to think that he saved them and made the right decision with whatever he dicided to choose. Don't know if it's been brought up since I can't find anything in the sea of arguements.


yea that's true. I'm really wondering what the guy who made the IT documentary is thinking about this.

He's probably still going through the EC material frame by frame :lol:


I know ACAVYOS who made Shepard's Indoctrination is calling it quits (from comments): 

"Apparently Bioware hadn't intended the Indoctrination Theory all
along. Although the IT with its many arguments makes perfectly sense
(also within the lore), Bioware tells us that it is all merely
coincidence... they want us to take the endings at face value. " :(


I don't get it. EC wasn't even planned - and IT is much older than EC.
Besides, EC doesn't disprove anything. :huh:

Essentially (in the sense of IT) - we got the exact same ending - so nothing really has changed.

This week has just been epic ****ing suck
6 days in central bookings for punching an undercover cop
Cracked a tooth in half when his little goon friends restrained me
Lost my job as a result
Out bail money and inevitable attorney fees coming
And then the EC is nothing more than polishing a terd

There is only one word in the English language that can describe my current state of mind and I can't ****ing say it on the bsn

To be honest, I don't think anyone else is following. But if you will just explain what you mean: do you think that, if IT was truly BW's original plan, an interpretation of the ending using IT requires a different take at the plot and the focus of the ME series than if you take the ending literally?


Yeah i think its different from the literal interpertaion, but more true to the me lore.


Good, that's the point I was trying to make, it changes and can't be compared to an Inception ending.




But the technique used can. 


The technique of a dream can be used, yes of course. However you have to realise the differences in the effects of such a technique. Whether the end is a dream or not in Inception is not crucial in any way to the story; that can't be said if IT is true

The EC is optional though. You don't have to get it if you don't want to.

But if IT itself is used to stop the reaper threat as I think is the case, then it could work very much like inception. Maybe.

Hey guys. Just played all three endings with High EMS. I'm surprised to be right about a few things. Honestly, it's not bad. I wish they would have done this first instead of rushing it.

How many times will the developers have to tell you people that IT is fanfiction before it gets through to you?

Just once. But they haven't yet.

Who's up for more speculation? I may not post here anymore, but I will lurk the hell out of it. It's been an honor, whether IT is the truth or not doesn't matter, we speculated, and that was the goal, not badmouthing, trolling, dissing, disrespect, or anything but speculation. Essentially, nothing is true, everything is permitted.

He didn't radio shepard.

When you have a group of people using radios (depending on the setting) - if one person talks, everyone hears it.

I'll have to digest it for a little while, but the extended cut didn't alter my core perception of what was initially presented---in a good way. Gaps were filled, questions were answered, and it still leaves room for some interpretation of what happens on the Citadel (yeah, there are still plenty of intentionally surreal elements going on to wrap your brain around).

I'm satisfied. I know many of you in this thread might not be, but just wrap your head around what you see and enjoy the work that BioWare put into this thing. It works.

Me, me, me, me, me!

I think the fact that Starchild now gets a reaper voice during "reject" ending - is making "IT" stronger.

So....

Anybody notice Shepard being revived by his synthetics?

Pay close attention to when he arrives in the hallway. He's out cold, but you hear a wierd synthetic sound that wakes him up.

Check again..../Garrus Voice

Well ~10 pages behind on the thread, and about to head to work for a few, but had some thoughts.
-First of all forgot to mention Adm Anderson's name is on the memorial wall in destroy/synth. In the middle. Shep's name gets placed just above in synthesis.
-I mentioned destroy ending, no scenes, mentions of EDI, the Geth, and EDI is absent from memorial wall scene. Has anyone seen EDI's name on the wall, or can check YT? I noticed in my second playthru (synthesis) Legion's name was on the wall (does it appear during your playthru after rannoch?). If we see EDI's name, we may have an answer as to her fate in Destroy.
