The way I see it, playing and discussing games is a thing I do in my spare time for fun (teh lulz, if you will). Some people, across the literalist, IT, pro-end, anti-end and whatever other camps take it far too seriously - look how many people take criticism of their interpretation as a personal attack on them and their values and that seems to be the root of most of the flame wars and falling out. Nothing wrong with a bit of impassioned debate and literary criticism, of course, but let's not forget to enjoy our trilogy because of it.

How many seconds do you think it took Paris to surrender?

Byne is our "unofficial" leader. He started the threads so everyone kind of looks to him for things sometimes.

I challenge BioWare to make figures and statues that resemble as closely as possible the in-game characters. C'mon, you can do this!
It's the anime fad. Middle to upper class suburban white kids have finally stopped trying to steal the "hip-hop" culture, presumably after being scolded too many times for calling the cops in their school's DARE programs "pig" and "cracka". They've moved onto a culture famed for tentacle rape hentai instead. You can tell this targeted at these wastes of DNA because, like them, they're sticking Japanese words into otherwise English sentences. Hence "Bishoujo". What you see is the literary equivalent of synthesis. They took two perfectly fine things and combined them into one unspeakable horror that needs to die in fire.
And to answer the next question, yes. Everytime someone adds something like "-san" to an English sentence, I want to punch them until my arm stops working.
Understood, Rifnenosan.

While I agree, these are different circumstances: deciding between the options in the decision chamber taps into personal viewpoints when you're going the "literal" route, based on ethical integrity and believing in unreliable variables for noble purposes. BioWare engaged their audience in something resembling a philosophical debate, and choosing what to do at the end and whether Shepard's suffering indoctrination symptoms reaches beyond, say, whether Deckard's a replicant or who's not to be trusted in The Thing. The dream/hallucination theory mangles the discussion a bit, and it intrudes on certain players' rationalized viewpoints on their choices. Therefore, it's not just challenging an interpretation anymore, but challenging the entrenched philosophical stance people have chosen over the past seven months.
Debating literary interpretation is one thing, but debating philosophical themes and personal viewpoints is another. They're hand-in-hand here, unfortunately, instead of being two discussions. I'd pick Destroy for my paragon Shepard whether indoctrination was involved or not, based on personal viewpoints on finite resolutions, thematic suggestion on whether the other choices fit in the universe, and the rigid/morally-questionable variables it'd require for the other options to really achieve success in the long run. But I also see elements that point to something else going on under the surface, chief being the Catalyst's form and the dreams. That viewpoints is, really, another component altogether---even though it all funnels into the ending.
No matter what happens with future DLC, the execution of all this has been very messy.

Leads to a question or two... did Deus Ex or DX:HR create the same kind of stir with their similar ending set-up? I never got the impression that there was anything like the same degree of polarisation? Is it because BW messed up the execution in ME, because they confounded fan expectation, or is it something about Mass Effect as a whole?

DX: HR had not nearly the same outcry, but I think there is a few reasons for that.
First ME3 is the culmination of 3 games of story, all in this single point as opposed to a self contained story in one game. That results in bigger expectations, no doubt about that.
Secondly DX: HR did build towards the choices we have in the end as we meet and interact with people for and against Implants, hearing their viewpoints and even having the opputunity to express our own views at times through the character. The AI by the end is also established and certainly capable of carrying out the choices you make by shaping the truth accordingly as opposed to the Catalyst who we only have his words to go on.
