Dumb question, we aren't disputing how we obtained the Carnifex, correct? Because if I remember correctly we got that from our favorite Salarian scientist back on Omega.
Yeah, the Carnifex IS Shepard's pistol that he uses in ALL the cutscenes, to suddenly give him a predetor (both Saren and TIM used it, plus other baddies) in the last few frames we see him, makes almost 0 sense to me.
Nah, balance, it's not. The Predator is the one used in ME3 cutscenes. The Carnifex is only used in one cutscene, or so I've been told. The cutscene in which you shoot Mordin. With the gun he gave you.
Or at least, I remember the Predator being the cutscene pistol and the wiki backs me up, anyone got any evidence that I'm wrong? :S
Alright, my fault, I thought the guns had more meaning to them.
They do. That's the point.
The gun is the tool you use to rebel in the indoctrination. That's why destroy is activated by it, while synthesis and control both involve you tossing it away. It's also why the scenes focus less and less on the gun each time you go further into the dream (wake up after Harby, gun is the first thing you see. Wake up in citadel, walk forward to pick up the gun. Wake up with starkid, you're holding the gun but it's invisible)
The gun you wake up with is the gun you do NOT normally have, and only use in cutscenes when some bad stuff is going down (Mordin). But, when you choose destroy, at the very last second we can see it's been replaced by the Predator - the correct gun.
Other things that link the Predator to this theme are the fact that Saren and TIM both free themselves from indoctrination (shoot themselves) with this gun. TIM takes the predator off Anderson, but Anderson is shown to have a Carnifex before the dream. Sheps paragon side has the Predator.
...is my reading of it.
EDIT - can't find evidence that Saren did use a predator, so for now disregard that point.
