hmm Sheps last words:
"And I'll die free."

That says everything there is to say in my opinion.


Also notice how Sheps voice changes
"I fight for freedom, mine and everyones."
coughing, weak voice
"I fight for the right to choose our own fate."
no coughing anymore, voice gets a little stronger
"And if I die, I die knowing that I did everything that I could to stop you."
Sheps voice gets progressively stronger, even enhanced by the changing music
"And I'll die free."
no traces of weakness or uncertainty.


For this reason, I believe this is against IT because he's fighting the reapers by not picking any of the options and refusing to be helped by them. He should have woken up after that.


But BW had already said before the release of the EC that it would neither confirm nor deny IT.  In my opinion, it strengthens IT, but I know that you probably disagree, so I won't persue that line of thought.

So you also heard it?


:o Whoa. When is this? After the squadmates get picked up? 

Yes. Just before the hit.


Someone on BSN said that if your squadmates die right there, Harbinger says something like, "You stand alone"...

But I can't find a video of it, anyone know about this?

Did you guys look through the files yet? I think we really need to go over EC again.
What about all the clues we found previously...have they changed in any way?

I also hear "Save Us". 

Edit: off-topic, but did anyone who played the EC on a pc notice that their game was really glitchy/laggy? It definitely was on xbox, and a couple of my friends and I had to restart a few times due to freezing.

Quick question if anyone can answer. Do you get the destroy breath scene regardless of how much EMS you have now? And if not, has anyone determined how much is actually required?

Hey I'm fully on board with you on this. I'm still one of the few who strongly believe in IT - and I won't pass final judgement until the next game comes out.

One question: Does the Shepard breathe scene appear in the Refuse choice? I guess the better question would be what happens after you refuse? Do the relays still blow up in your imagination?

To be fair, the two words are similar sounding.  Plus a bit of bias might make us hear it differently - maybe that was intentional, since the first word is pretty distorted.

But roaring 'Serve Us' before firing a beam that knocks us for six but doesn't kill?  Yeah, Harbinger was shooting to stun.  That is obvious.  But if yelling Serve Us was a command, and it started the dream/halluncination that leads to Shepard doing the Reaper's bidding...

Bloody hell.  That's...  Incredible.  For every door closed on IT, massive hole is blasted through the wall letting it back in again.  Its in your face, but subtle enough to not cause everyone to notice it.

Still means we've left with the stupid Normandy rescue scene.  /shudder

Oh wait,i wasn't thinking of that line.
yea now i hear it,it does kind of sound like "serve us"


Ah ok. I was going to say, they really make it a point to highlight that Harbinger is saying something.


yea,if you listen to enough times you can definetly hear "serve us" with emphasis on the "us".

Shepard: Hello? Hello? Hello?
Harbinger: Hi! This is Harbinger speaking. Are you running towards the beam?

Also, I'm thinking about what Maximized and I came up with earlier. He says that he heard the Anderson grunt in the Carnifex sound. I'm not so sure, but I should probably listen to the Anderson grunt more closely before commenting on whether it IS there or not. However, one thing I AM certain of, is that part of the echo of the Carnifex during the final scene in the Catalyst chamber DOES play when you alt-tab out of the game. Is it the Anderson grunt? I'm not sure if I hear a grunt, but I do KNOW that I hear part of the Carnifex echo played when you alt-tab, and that's enough for me to say something is up. I think, though I'm not certain, that the echo is played underneath the drums in the scene. If someone else could check this out and confirm it (Megumi or lex0r? Would either of you be willing to check?), I would be a very happy Turian. ;)

I started a ng+ and just arrived at the Citadel following the trip to Mars. Nothing has changed that I can see so far.

I have tried hearing "save us" and "join us" but they didn't quite fit. When I listen for "serve us" it seems to fit perfectly. At least for me. Are you listening to Epyon's upload? it's clearer without the other noises from the game.

Its a better video then the high EMS one.  No stupid Normandy scene breaking up the action.

Ah thanks, I had ~3600 and I was still worried it would be too low and then I was surprised. :blush:

No one knows. What if the Reapers left for one cycle only to return the next. I would like that.

I remember that someone brought it up earlier that Harbinger letting the Normandy go might have been so that it would have leverage so that Shepard wouldn't want to choose Destroy since EDI would still be alive.

Yeah, I was listening to his link, and just replaying it over and over. I am hearing an "a" sound and not an "er" sound. But to me, save and serve sound very different. I'll give it another once-over!


Edit: messed up the quotes.

I think it's "serve" - I can hear the sound of the "r" in the word

That's the first plausible explaination I've heard.  Kudos to whoever thought that up :)

Though quite why they couldn't do it before or after the beam run...  Still seems...  Unclear...

Goodness me, speculation for everyone indeed.

When I saw the high EMS scene start, I freaked out, since I remembered the deleted scene.  Thankfully, my freak out was miss placed, since they made it, probably because Harbinger LET them live.  Also, I loved it was Garrus said that I NEEDED to come back alive, even though he was the better shot (Or something to that effect.).  That was so cool. :happy:
