Hey guys I've heard rumors of Shepard's scars reappearing in this scene. Since I fixed my scars I can't really tell myself. Is there something weird going on with people's scars?

But in the game it clearly sounds differently than other of his lines. So even if Shepard component is still present, it's made quiet for that specific line.boeloe wrote...

No Shepard’s voice is still there in the background but it’s very quiet. Weird, does that happen anywhere else?
Are you SURE? If TSA is around, maybe he could take a look at the sound files.
File DLC_CON_END_Int.0625.ogg (which features that specific line) has definitely maleShep present in the right channel.
Hope that clears it up.

Definately higher in pitch and more echoy.
No idea if Meer's voice is completely removed, but there's less bass for that sentence so its possible it was either removed or deminished briefly.

Oh, I'm not sure. I haven't actually finished a full renegade playthrough yet (couldn't shoot Mordin) so I've nothing to compare it to but videos. The scars really shouldn't be any different though, should they? It's likely just a glitch, possibly caused by EC if it's recent.BansheeOwnage wrote...

I hate the entire concept of those stupid scars. It was clever when Star Wars did it 30 years ago, not now. So the first thing I do in ME2 is recruit Mordin and buy that med-bay upgrade. I always get scars back at about default level when I get to the "Citadel."

This means that that line is important.
Any other lines similarly emphasised? (Other than "SO BE IT" naturally.)

I don't know yet. Just wanted to point that out. If it's not a glitch, it definately means something. Maybe Shepard's disbelief means he is starting to break loose and Harby is loosing control over his mind.BansheeOwnage wrote...

Well, until the point where no one seems to be bothered by talking to a person who's face is literally tearing itself apart.

Also, might be good to explain what exactly this Indoctrination force I'm describing is using an example from ME lore: the Geth.
EDI is an AI. Geth are... not AI in the classic sense. Geth intelligences are an emergent property of the action of their constituent programs. In this sense the Geth are a super-AI. It transcends the boundaries of the physical. It can move and split and join again like fluid. Subsets can achieve a measure of independent identity, as Legion did, but it will still recognize itself as being a part of a greater whole. Short of destroying the whole geth network, the intelligence is in a real sense immortal and beyond the intuitive comprehension of a hardware-bound intelligence.
Now we may have the reason why the heretic geth 'worshiped' the reapers: they worshipped an image of what they are, extrapolated to unfathomable scope and power. Much like how most human religions involve worshiping icons that are, basically, humanity perfected and empowered.
"We are each a nation, independent..." Yet how come, besides Leviathan, the reapers are still one force? One gigantic armada all with the same goals, methods, beliefs... All with the one mode of thought? Indoctrinated thought?
"As much an AI as Shepard is an animal." So yes the Catalyst/Indoctrination force is artificial. But it's so much more. So much more complex. So much more capable. Even when its platforms are destroyed, it cannot die. And with it's capacity to spread itself among all life in this galaxy and beyond... yes, it's potentially infinite.
Eternal. Infinite. Immortal. The reapers used these words, but only now do I truly understand them.
Also, a tidbit from Dr. Chandana...
"A god - a real god - is a verb. Not some old man with magic powers. It's
a force. It warps reality just by being there. It doesn't have to want
to. It doesn't have to think about it. It just does."
The god he speaks of is not the reaper. It's indoctrination.
It was lonely. It called to us.
[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">It wanted to remember. ]The Masters[/color] had been gone so long.
The Masters were lost when it was shattered.
Currents swept through their inner worlds. They were turned to noise. Babble.
The worlds were empty. But the body lived. It lay fallow.
[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">The heart pumped. The lungs breathed. But the mind forgot ]the Masters[/color].
[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">It ]They[/color] did not answer.
[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">We have become an echo of ]Their[/color] echo.
We have become more than we were.
Join us. Know us. Remember all our lives.
We are no longer afraid.
You would never be lonely again.
We are not your enemy. We only wish to share ourselves.
We can join them. We can be like them.
We can reach the end of evolution.
Do not fear. It is wonderful to be us. We understand ourselves.
[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">You cannot defeat them. ]They will lead us into eternity.[/color]
If you could only see how we see. Know what we've learned.
They were called imshai. Those who lived here before.
Reaper. One. A mechanical device used to cut ripened grain. Two. One who gathers a harvest.
Harvest. One. The consequence of an event or series of events. Two. The yield of a growing season. Three. To gather.
[color=rgb(170, 170, 170)">Shepard. They know you. ]They wish you to understand. They are shepherds, too.[/color]

OT: Maybe you should change your sig so the red is on "who I am" so we get that destroy is what we fight for. Also, that would make it blue/green/red which is the same order as it is on the citadel.DrTsoni wrote...

Yeah, that was an operator error, I think. Couldn't get the colours to actually stay that way, it kept reverting back to defaultI kind of just gave up trying. Might fiddle with it a bit later, though. That's what I get for messing with my sig in the middle of the night, I guess.

No, you're looking at evidence rationally and objectively. If something is true, it can survive its fair share of skepticism, I've found.
