It's a cult. Could you spare some time? We'd like to talk to you about Shepard, our Hero and Savior! His quest, his resolve, and his sacrifice.  


great now he's going to stay. Thanks Dem.<_<

Same here. I need a reveal to enjoy the series again. 

I'm really envious of you guys, like ElSuperGeko, who are happy with the endings being left in an Inception-style open state. I guess my imagination just isn't vivid enough to appreciate it. :unsure:


Heh - I wouldn't say I'm entirely happy with it being left completely open.  I'd give my right arm (or it's value in Microsoft Point ;-) to have some of my questions answers and to get a last, mind-shattering plot twist in ME3's final DLC... especially if it involves the return of the Collectors and Harbinger! Posted Image

At the same time though, I can see why Bioware may want to leave it all up in the air.  We argue a crapton over the endings here on the BSN.  Pretty much everyone has an opinion on them, and a lot of the opinions are interesting, fun and unique.

At the moment, they're all perfectly valid as well.  Synthesis is the harmonius ascent of all life while at the same time it's huskifying the galaxy.  Control is Shepard being a belevolent watchful overlord, and at the same time it's becoming the Reaper of Humanity.  Does this prove IT?  Yes.  It also disproves it.

If Bioware give us a reveal, though, and suddenly everyone's no longer right; suddenly some people are clearly wrong.  It's Schrodinger's Cat, people.  Open the box, and the feline lovers out there might well end up really upset.

Hm, I checked the HTL poll.
Since it is form May (pre-EC), it does not really reflect the current state since many have lost hope post-EC.
Right now, I guess the 25% believe in it, 25% have no stance, 50% think it is literal is more accurate - in my view at least.


Arent you our polling guy? What are you doing guessing?! ;)

I never guess

>trolling the IT thread

Are you even trying?


It may very well be an IT sig, but I was never an IT person.
I merely use it to represent my Indoctrination headcanon.

It doesn't say IT, it merely says "wake up" I head canon my shepard waking up.
But I'm not delusional about it coming true.

Please! Teach us how to not be delusional. In return, we will teach you how to be funny

Then why are you here? To tell us that we are delusional just because you don't think IT was intended? Because clearly, based on your opinion, it must be correct! Regardless of every bit of evidence in the Trilogy.


Yeah, I disagree with you, that does not make me delusional.

Actually, that is incorrect.

To put it simply.

You are already a joke by coming in here for no reason, other than to say you hate us for having a different interpretation of the ending to a video game.

A video game.

Im laughing at you because of how much of a jokester you are:lol:.

Okay, other then a troll, who agrees with my thoughts about the Protheans being more like Reapers then is comfortable?

Heck, it might even be a hidden message - the Protheans lost because they were homogenised and inflexible. Maybe this is the weakness of the Reapers as well?

Well, Sovereign was able to pull a turn that "would sheer an Alliance ship in half." so they must be pretty flexible.

Yeah, synthesis is a Reaper-approved evolutionary path. How could that possibly be good news for us? Not even EDI sounds like EDI, and that's likely to be intentional. You didn't save everyone. Everyone is gone, since they're not themselves anymore. They're now "in harmony" with the Reapers. What a sweet victory, huh?


Here's a wierd, out-there thought. What if Shepard really is dead in Synthesis (wasn't real and Shepard got huskified, or Saren-ed), fast-forward everyone dies, Harvest is completed, and EDI is reprogrammed and placed inside a Human Reaper or becomes the Human Reaper's intelligence instead of Shep in Control.  Then we could be seeing a virtual reality from EDI's point of view (she narrates it after all and all her "hopes and dreams" come true), a "First Matrix" for EDI keeping her happy even as some part of her operates as a Reaper hibernating in Dark Space (EDI isn't an organic so she would never need to wake up from a "perfect world" because she doesn't need suffering to affirm what is real or not)?

Oh, sh** that's depressing...
