It really never happened, unless the Shepard that did Arrival and went through ME3 was just some lookalike actor hired by the Alliance to cover up the fact that the real Shepard died beyond the Omega-4 relay.

Egotistic they meant I assume, but I think the term they are more so looking for is hypocrytical as they claim that IT will put some people in the same position they assume all IT supporters were in at the end of the game. There  are a lot of assumptions, including the fact that choice doesn't matter at the end of the game with IT and so on.

I do not agree, I think IT only sprung up because of how much others were complaining with no hope for anything and those that thought it was meh, bad but not horrible overall, decided to give those who wanted to just claim everything about the game and specifically the ending was bad, an example of how it might not be.


edit: well it is a word meaning shelfish, never heard of it before.

I doubt that.

I would think some ppl couldn't believe the ending as it was, thought about it, and put together a very interesting arguement that IT could be in fact the ending.

Some, but I would bet a good number agree with IT or suggested aspects of it becuase while others complained they looked to provide themselves and those complaining with potential answers. Unfortunatly this being the internet and respect is hard to find all those complaining for the most part have done is hate on IT for suggesting something that they do not want, which is a complete and utter new ending if not new game.

In one of the ME2 endings, Shepard dies, the game ends and credits roll. According to the reasoning of OP, shouldn't we also think Bioware abandoned those people who performed very poorly in ME2, by not making that character save importable to ME3?

 

Damm it, it not what i mean!

In ME2, if you upgraded the ship, and did the the squad's missions, then you will live. 

In ME3, If you have a high EMS, then earth is not destroyed, and you saved many.

But the IT is saying, that if i didn't choose the destroy option, even if i have a high EMS,  the galaxy will be destroyed by the reapers anyway. I should be rewared for winning the game with so much success. Not failing for not choosing a choice I think is wrong.

Maybe i read your post wrong, but are you saying that because of the IT is bringing a completely new story through all the game, and making my choice as false, I shouldn't be complaining? 

If the IT will be the new ending, or BioWare will take many aspects of it into the EC, you think that no one will complain? You think that everyone wants the option of destroy? 

whether the IT is true or BioWare will just use it, it will leave people unhappy. And there could be no more ECs in the future. Meaning that People will be MUCH more angry than now. 

I won't mind that much if the IT will be the new ending if it means I will choose the end. But I don't want BioWare will make my options to an option.

can't please everyone.

pro-IT'r's don't appear to egoists to me, since egoism is essentially defined as motivation by self-interest. psychological egoism states that the reason behind everyone's actions is self-interest. rational egoism is the philosophical belief that everyone's actions are not only guided by self-interest, but that they're actions ought to be guided by self-interest.

the pro-it'rs appear to be more utilitarian to me. guided more by the belief that the ends justify the means, so long as the end is most beneficial to the most people. if someone gets lost along the way, its an acceptable loss because the outcome is best for the majority.

I know it's impossible to please everyone. But the least that can be done is to find the balance that will make everyone a little more at ease. 

I know the majority is probobably against my choices. But BioWare created control, destroy and synthesis. Therefore they must answer to all the choices. But the majority seem really bend on doing everything they can to make my choices as wrong to make theyre points right, to the point i wonder if BioWare will only hear them. It is egoist when they do that. Why? Because of the reasons i said. Making they're choice as right, while dissmising the others. I know not everybody are doing that, but there are certainly enough to make every pro-control or pro-synthesis to go red from rage.

Missing the point of the thread much?

I'm just trying to show the level the ideals and consept It can take.
The op is conserned about it being a dream, I'm just showing that IT can be happening even ifwe take the ending as is.
OP is all consern with it mean theirs just one choice....I also wanted to point out the pros and cons of all the choices...

I don't really think it's so much just choosing destroy. Every choice is supposed to have consequences. Just because your Shepard chose Control or Synthesis doesn't mean game over. It just means your Shep will have to deal with being potentially nudged and suggested to...you much deal with being a sleeper agent and you not knowing about it. That doesn't mean game over, it just means its going to be harder to win.

So your say a choice that agree with the reapers must be rewarded?
Your not understand that the other 2 choices keep the system intact...The system that controling organics for eons.
One choice lestyou implant tech intoevery organic...With the reaper incharge. And Reapers have the ability to control beings with tech....

The other wipes Shepard clean inculding memeories and put him in a system thatthe only imput would beinfofrom the reapers...

Even with out considering IT, the other choices are still bad choices.

I never asked for IT I just asked for the chance of a happy ending the choice something to play towards something to earn a reward you know to go with the whole game thing.

I don'tthink asking for that for a minimum is reasonable. A clear ending isall that is needed.


so are you saying that I'm asking for too much just to have one of the 16 or 4 ending to be a happy one?

Yes...He is facing the imposible.

As I've been saying the problem with the IT is people believe it's the TRUE ending and every other ending is wrong.

It leads to a lot of situations where you have one topic (the ending) but with people arguing about 2 completely different things (the ending and the IT ending). That leads the ITer's to believe they're "right" and eventually, because the argument is about 2 different things, it'll lead to a stalemate.

I personally don't understand how any one can take what the catalyst says at face value, the catalyst admits to being the reapers king aka your enemy from the get go. What incentive does the Reaper King have to tell you how to destroy the reapers or how to control them either will lead to its demise why would it tell you any option other than synthesis (its new solution)? The fact that the Reaper King (your enemy) is giving you these choices suggests that they are all traps.

This is the reason that the idea of a conventional victory is so popular because it offers the possibility of ending not given to you by the reapers.

Um... if you can't take anything the Catalyst says at face value, why should you believe he's the "Reaper King"?:huh:

Because I can see absolutly no reason why making Shepard think him his/her enemy would advantage him, so I am putting it down to general reaper hubris.

At least that (what you typed) is a bit better than "That's vaguely what indotrinated people wanted so if you pick them you're indoctrinated", I mean an actual discussion can come from that post.

You see it as the Catalyst making himself to be the enemy. I see it as the Catalyst trying to appear powerful and in control in front of Shepard. For all we know, he's just bluffing and doesn't really control the Reapers.:whistle:

It does not have to be black and white. Control can mean to make an army for the galaxy, without even for the mu relays do be destroyed. Synthsis can make the organics more intelligent, and synthetics to have more emotions. Destroy is the choice that is the clearest without many unanswered questions, and the only choice to keep Shepard alive. It is probalby the safest choice, for the time being.

Control is leaving the most questions unanswered. For all we know Shepard is the new catalyst. Synthesis is simply playing god and no one should play this type of game. Destroy is destroying Synthetic life! After we learned so much about the geth, and EDI...

See? There is no need to dismiss any of the choices. Each of them is good. Each of them is bad.

I'm asking from the Pro-IT, who have much power in these forums, to be more considerate of other fans, not just the majority and yourself. Because the EC is the chance for BioWare to prove themselves for many, many fans. I'm going to play the EC when it comes out, because i'm also not happy with certain things in the ending. Maybe I stand alone in this opinion, but the EC becoming a Pro-destroy, an option i really don't want my game to end in, will make the end a dissapointment for me much more than it is now.


as someone pro-IT, i don't think defending the theory is like saying that the best ending is exclusively destroy or that it's what everyone else should do. under given circumstances, however, it seems to be the only choice bioware gave us if you wanted a "happier turnout", so to speak. IT, to my understanding, is mainly a way to explain the illogical and nonsensical culmination of the game. what you choose from there should receive just as much attention as the "destroy" option, should bioware ever consider rectifying any of the content. it isn't set in stone that the EC will be pro-destroy; fans just wanted something plausible to go off of. ultimately, though... it isn't an IT movement decision to allegedly leave only destroy as a non-indoctrinated result. that's bioware, and that's what they've seemingly mapped out from the get go. so i wouldn't call the fans egotistical, so much as trapped into the same non-expansive realm of possibilities that you may feel you are, for what you'd rather see panning out.

But you missing the point here....In synthises you leaving the reapers in charge who implant everyone using the crucible. It matter not if organics are made smarter. The fact that the reapers control them at a whim makes the choice at flaut. They can  read you mind and control it with there implants, this has been seen many time over agian in the ME series.

Also, with control you are not even guarantee that you will think the same..
Read what some of the codex says about AI's....
http://masseffect.wi...al_Intelligence 
"An AI cannot be transmitted across a communication channel or computer network. Without its blue box, an AI is no more than data files. Loading these files into a new blue box will create a new personality, as variations in the quantum hardware and runtime results create unpredictable variations. "

Then take note the the star child say about control."Yes, you will die. You can control use but you will lose everything."

Control- 

The reapers LOVE to control, it's what they are all about. They have left technology scattered around the galaxy in order to control our evolutionary path, they control our future by forcing the most advanced civilizations to become them, there is practically NO aspect of life that they don't control in one way or another

Synthesis-

The reapers have always regarded themselves as the most advanced civilization, they ARE the prime example of synthesis, it's not pretty. They ARE the alpha predator and DON'T consider pure organics or pure synthetics to be anything more than fuel or nuisances. They believe that synthesis is the best evolutionary model to live by.

Destroy- 

One thing the Catalyst says that rings true is they DO preserve life, they let organics live simply because they need us for survival, to destroy is to create chaos, but out of that chaos rises freedom, a new beginning, and infinite possibilities.

To believe that either control or synthesis is the answer is to agree with the reapers, which opens the door for them to exploit that side of your psyche, convincing you that siding with the reapers is a better solution than destroying them.
