But of course, if something is inconclusive cue Hanar to come and claim it disproves IT. You being here is not constructive.

he says the reapers perceive shepard as a threat, nothing indicitave of them wanting to indoctrinate him. and yes, the theme was indoctrination, but it was Leviathans indoctrination, not the reapers. there was nothing to suggest shepard was feeling stress, in fact there was nothing at all about repear indoctrination, just leviathans indoctrination. at most the repear form of it is mentioned once. and you could also take away from it that shepards will cant fight indefinately, he can succumb to outside influence. yeah, i didnt mention that and definitely should have. but overall we really didnt get anything from it


*edited to get rid of the pyramid of text*

Reaper Indoctrination is completely based on the Leviathan's indoctrination. What other way would the Catalyst know to put that into Harbinger? Leviathan literally tells you this exact statement. The Leviathan's artifacts work in vaguely the same way as Object Rho did. The more you stay near them, the easier it is for the Leviathan to project its effect onto you.

Of course there's nothing absolutely conclusive, but I knew they weren't going to do that right from the beginning because it would be silly to think that they would do just one DLC and reveal everything straight away in that one DLC. ME2 had multiple story DLC's. ME3 isn't exactly going to be different.

Besides there's more than enough clues for the IT in what we had before Leviathan. If you ask me, that hasn't changed one bit.  


i wasnt necessarily referring to the different types of indoctrination, but that the reapers were not behind this indoctrination, they dont have much to do with it at all

Who said that? All i'm saying is that heretic who has been trolling here for quite a while and on other pages with no real evidence. Is a troll. If you disagree with IT that's fine, but please be polite about it and have a real argument if you post here.

It's not that anyone that doesn't believe in IT is a troll.  We don't live by that mantra.  Rather, we live by the mantra that anyone who's STUPID enough to come to the thread, bash IT, and then not make ANY logical arguments is a troll.

All this heavily supports the literal intepretation of the ending.

To you maybe. You forget that not everyone thinks the same way about everything.


True. But now that the Leviathan DLC cleared so much up and basically strengthens the literal intepretation of the endings, I see no reason why we would still believe in the IT. The literal interpretation seems to make so much more sense now.


It supports the IT in the sense that now EVERYTHING that happens in the endings comes from shepards mind - Reapers use indoctrination to manipulate Shepard's own memories and knowledge and form a situation belivable for him, in which he may make a choice to accept their logic. Also it suggests that the reapers themselves at their core might have this logic - but it is still flawed and broken logic - this might hint at the fact that reapers themselves are just the faulty piece of equipment. (Like RobotSanta from the futurama) - They are not sentient, they only have some basic algorithms that guide them, and those algorithms are false and broken, with a lack of option to evolve - Reapers are the pinnacle - they are perfect no point into listening ot reason, or to analyse new facts. They just do what they were build to do, and do this eternally without stopping questionning or thinking. This proves that there are simply no point in listening to them, arguing with them, or trying to reason with them. They say themselves - they are not at war. Fire cannot be at war with the forest. 
There is no point in controlling them - the know and able to do one thing only - there is no control over them - you can't control fire by becoming fire.   THere is no point in synthesys - cause this is what they are trying to do in the first place and it's their original goal - if you combine fire and forest you get only coal and ashes(which has it's uses, but not for the forest),  there is no point in making a moral stand and giving them a speach - you'll just get burned. You can only get rid of them forever - destroy.

So you are calling people that don't believe in IT stupid trolls? I am a little confused now. 

Frankly the MAIN theme I, personaly, have always heard for IT to be real is everything AFTER the beam is not real and Shep will wake up from there. That entire sequence was an Indoc attempt and after picking Destroy you should wake up and fight the "real" ending. 

Well seems the Catalyst was real and all that happened. There is no waking up after the beam hits, you already played past that, got to the end credits and the game ended. It's over. 

So unless something changed about the main theme to IT then it's been proven false.

No, anyone who says they don't believe so you shouldn't either is a troll or a moron.

One of the few things Bioware have been firm about is there desire to inspire multiple interpretations, but 99% of the fans insist only theirs is worth having.

That an AI exists does not conclusively prove that you really meet an AI after really going to the bottom of the tower. That's insane troll logic.

Oh I agree. However you do know that 49.5% of that 99% you mentiond are ITer right? It goes both ways. Just remember.

I don't know... the IT itself is pretty intriguing in itself but if it IS true , it leaves us at a cliffhanger . We are left to wonder what happened to the Reapers after that ..

Just kidding, I don't report people like a little rat. :)

Seriously though, saying the ending of the game is fake, and still fake, and that we are still waiting for the real ending to come out is a little insane in my eyes.

Hey whatever you wanna believe though is cool with me.

just because you see something in a dream that exists in real life doesnt mean you werent dreaming. think.

but in all honesty, im done. ill look for some file dumps, but by and large, im done. with everything EA. forever. its clear now they wont continue IT, even though its pretty much fact that they intended it at some point in developement. i just refuse to have anything to do with EA from here on, and that includes BioWare.

No, I said you're using insane troll logic. We said what is witnessed at the end isn't real, not the stuff in it was never real. That would mean we've been saying Anderson, TIM, the citadel and the carnifex hand cannon have been figments of \\shepards imagination in the whole series.

Kid's line at the end:
Shepard: So you're an AI?
Kid: In the same way that you are just an animal.

Not necessarily an AI, but something more (Reapers?). Also we now know why Shepard jumps to the conclusion that he is an AI. A talking squid told him.

Well, you do come to a topic called "Was the Ending A Hallucination?"   - And start to scream HA_HA no it's not!  The FIRST singleplayer DLC just came out! Nobody hasn't even had time to play it THOUGHTFULLY and Analyse it, but there is no new sections added to the endings - so ha-ha you are all wrong and stupid!!!  

For starters how do you know that the catalyst you meet IS that AI that the Leviathan talks about?

So it's possible Shepard is still in his mothers womb and hasnt been born yet and the entire series is based on an unborn babies dream? I mean where does reality end and dreams start? 

Well, OK then. 

Anyway DL just finished so time to play. Toodles!

It's ok man! Calm down! everything's fine! IT is false. The EC proved it like ages ago. It's over. The ending is what it is. Mass Effect ended. Let it go! Go have a life, read a book, go to the movies with somebody...
We're clearly in denial here. We are lost, sick people, tortured by false and empty hopes! But you're better than that! Let it go, man! Don't let it haunt your dreams! Don't let this idea cripple your mind and turn you into a hollow shell of your former self!
