Masster, you dont still think there was an IT council, do you?
No.

The ending is actually Shep taking a nap after Harby's blast. Now that sounds legit!
Overly simplistic explainations for overly simplistic minds.
And don't go into "you're just not intelligent enough to get IT" mode, because plenty of people could respond with similar argument about believing in ITHe embodies collective intelligence of all Reapers so he's all of them in a way, but none of the Reapers is the Intelligence. And certinately Levi never suggested the Intelligence is directly the same entity as Harbingermagnetite wrote...
Leviathan basically told us that the Starbrat (Intelligence) is Harbinger. And that each cycle ends with the birth of a Reaper, or he's going to harvest all life. Confirmation of synthesis.

Just took a quick look on HTL - the thread is still going strong, with almost 80% of voters saying they believed in IT. Without looking through the 30 or so pages, I'm not even sure CP followed up any further in the thread, or just threw the pipe bomb in there and waited for the results...demersel wrote...
There is still a question whether or not that concept actually needs a reveal to be complete.
On one hand - it is to beautifull to be spoiled and trivialised by a reveal.
This. A reveal is not necessary - and in some ways it would be counterproductive, especially if they're planning on a radical change of direction for ME4. At the end of the day, Bioware could keep people guessing forever, one way or another. People could be playing the game 20 years from now and still wondering "what if...?"
A reveal would break that spell irrevocably. Any satisfactuion that could be gained from it would be temporary - and not everyone would be satisfied, either. As long as you're sure, as long as you're confident in your own decision, that should be enough. Like Bioware said, it's the fan's story as well. They've effectively let you decide the ending.
Bioware could potentially take the truth to the grave with them. Was Shepard being indoctrinated? Did I make the right choice? Did the top stop spinning?

Quck question - did CP ever give any indication of Bioware's intent with the Indoctrination Theory poll he posted on the HTL forums? I'm just wondering why he (they) would go to the trouble of polling the fans about it...
I'd like to know that too. I would find it very odd if he just did it out of idle curiosity. As Community Manager he is a public face of Bioware, so he must realise the importance we fans attach to everything he posts.
Wow. It's kinda crazy he did this.:ph34r:

Eryri - Omega should give you much hope for the things to come then.
All SP Story DLC for Mass Effect 3 are IT DLCs.
From Ashes is a set up.
Extended Cut is a double check question.
Leviathan is a statement.
Omega is a promise.

I've got precious little faith in remaining DLCs after Omega. Omega was fine as a combat-centric DLC, but seriously, who plays Mass Effect for the combat?

The multiplayer people. And like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure the MP team made Omega.

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...

Bioware-Montreal is no longer the 'MP Team'. They're going to be centric to the Mass Effect series, going forward.

Oh Jesus, I hope they're not going to let those people fail up SP with their combat voluses and their guns using thermal clips yet spitting out shell casings, ect.
Indeed. Their "flash over substance" approach to Omega concerns me about the future of the franchise.Rifneno wrote...

Does anyone else wonder why the Catalyst says "So be it" in Harbinger's voice when Shepard refuses?

Insane? Your name is Capt. Pancake. Insanity should be a given with no bearing on whether or not believing in the Indoctrination Theory is itself valid.
