So now that the fora and twitters are buzzing with the fact that the whole writers team is aboard for the next (last?) dlc, I have to say I'm mildly optimistic that I'm going to like this dlc.

So, how are things going currently? Any developments that I should be aware of?
Pretty good. Cousin of mine was in a bad place in life, drugs, crime, ect. Fortunately, he got some neurological damage in just the right areas and totally turned his life around. Whew.

Was that a crack about what I said before about Jack? If so, that actually IS pretty funny. Yeah, I'll admit it was kind of implausible (To put it lightly), but it was just something that popped into my head that I felt like sharing. That's what I love about this thread, we call each other on our BS. Of course, we always have to be careful when we do that, or else we travel down the dark path of negativity and hatred.

Also, on a somewhat random note, I just want to state again exactly why I believe in IT. I just feel like it's necessary to remind us all why we still do this. I believe in IT because otherwise, the ending, even now, post-EC, is still filled with so much that boggles the mind and makes BioWare seem completely incompetent that I cannot believe they would defend it so vehemently or even come up with it in the first place without some other ulterior motive. Unless Mac Walters and Casey Hudson are two of the stupidest plot writers in the history of gaming, which I cannot believe since they are responsible for the Mass Effect series in the first place, they could not have come up with such thematically inconsistent, plot hole ridden garbage. More than anything else, this is why I believe in IT. Because I don't think BioWare's writers could be this stupid.
I believe in it because it makes perfect sense. The level of contact my Shepard has had with reaper stuff plus the Leviathan conversation adds up to the point where it seems intentional. In every playthrough something new jumps out at me, and it seems less and less subtle in each. The IT may not have everything correctly explained, but I find it hard to believe the reapers wouldn't aleast try to influence Shepard, and its quite clear that they have tried relentlessly.

If you're so weak willed you can't help yourself from picking a playstyle you don't enjoy, that's your problem. Not Bethesda's.
Let's not go there, k?
More IT talk needed. Don't know how sometimes we get talking about non-IT related stuff, or even things that aren't even related to Mass Effect 3 in any way. Kind of belongs in the off-topic forum if you ask me.
The other thing to keep in mind though is that the only reason they keep this thread open despite stuff going off-topic regularly is that IT remains a valid explanation for the ending. If the ending wasn't some kind of indoctrination attempt, they probably would have locked it.

Well, let's just say I made an inference based on what I know of American parents, their kids, how closely they read the ratings, and how much they care. Which is to say, almost not at all.

You ****ed about the game being too easy because you broke it, and now the problem is off topic? Seems legit.

True enough, but I doubt other countries aren't full of idiots too. My favorite such story was a woman who bought her 10 year old daughter Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the basis that the box was pink.

Or at least, if the POSSIBILTY of the ending being an indoctrination attempt didn't exist, we wouldn't still be open. It's all a matter of whether there is one, definitive interpretation of the endings, or if there isn't.
Edit: Top! Banshee, are you still around?
