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.


Actually I think Shepard uses a Predator when confronting Miranda´s father.

Though funnily enough none of the other Squadmates get a weapon change in that scene.

Did they never make DA II DLC then? sorry, I didn't play it so not completely sure what you meant :S


They made two, but then cancelled all future ones planned because they didn't sell well enough.

They made two big one-mission DLCs other than the obligatory Day 1 DLC, then announced after a few months that they wouldn't make any more. DAO had much more DLC, for comparison.
That was probably because the game sold less than well, the amount of people who buy DLC is very low generally and the game was received very negatively.

Very offtopic but you were mostly correct. It's parts of 'Crash Landing' from the ME2 soundtrack.

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.

Carnifex is used if you shoot mordin, it also makes an appearance when wrex confronts you if you fake the genophage cure, and it is the gun you shoot anderson with. Those are the ones I'm aware of, there may be others - anyone know if it appears with Legion or the council scene?
Basically, carnifex in scene = ****'s going dooooown.

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.

Ah, alright. I think I get it now. Thx for explaining that. I'm just depressed because of this mornign so I can't think straight.

Sad that the other topic got canned but I hate to say I saw it coming. Me along with several others tried warning everybody not to keep engaging the trolls and getting off topic, but it continued anyway.

Anyhow, on topic:

Shepard getting his Predator back for the Destroy ending is a great find. A few days back I posted about how Shepard almost always seems to be using the Carnifex in a negative context (specifically, when he kills Mordin and Wrex), and then is using it again for the end sequence. Then, when his willpower holds and he picks destroy, he has his trusty Predator back!

Nice!

Because "we" are just as much to blame for engaging the trolls as the trolls are for trolling. Large Forum Management 101.

I also noticed that the blue and green endings both load the red cinematics and sounds, as well as their own. I'm not much of a sound guy though so can't really analyse that. Would not surprise me to ind that you can hear all the red stuff in the background of the other endings or something. (since, theoretically, Shep is always lying there, just in the green and blue doesn't wake up)

Yeah... I stay out of 'local' forums because of that kind of stuff. Just stick to the English ones if you're fluent in that language, anyway.

It's only changed in the very last scene so most miss it. Just give them a screenshot that shows them that.

Which "red cinematics and sounds" do you mean? Do you mean that the sounds and scenes from destroy are used exclusively for all 3 endings and the differences for the other two are overlayed?

Now I'm suddenly bombarded with theories of "Knowing."  What if the entire ME3 game is Shepard seeing the future?

Well i know that the red cinematics/instruction to load them are certainly present in the ending files for green blue AND red. Whether or not they're actually implemented...

Course, the last thing I noticed like this was Shep's Predator model in destroy ending, and that proved fruitful, so ;)
