Even an IT perspective doesn't forbid the possibility of a Reaper collective. I imagine it being less of a collective mind and more of a collective purpose. The programmed purpose for all Reapers is to harvest organic and synthetic life. The Star Child is the essence of indoctrination and would thus be a represntation of the Reapers' goals. So, in that regard, it could be telling the truth.
Even with all of the lies in the end scenario, there could still be half truths presented to us. The Reapers' purpose is likely a lie, by the Star Child's rendition of how they were created may have some elements of truth. We don't have the data to know for certain.
You know, I pretty much stated as much in Selfish Meme Theory. [insufferableprick] Glad to see other people catching up in my intellectual wake. [/insufferableprick]

Just ran platinum again with Arian and another accquantance on Origin - He runs a Geth Inflitrator and took us through to Wave 11. Sighman just about got through as the sole survivor by medegelling at the end of the timer. lol
Total insanity X 100
Technically I didn't survive either. If I hit the gel a second sooner the game would have registered me as alive. Also, considering that it's only 100-110k or however much we nabbed, I'll keep farming gold instead of trying plat tyvm.

Might have to activate "don't feed the troll" mode.
As for IT.. I had a really weird thought last night about Liara's mind-meld at the FOB. Why were no memories shown during the exchange? Some say because "art" and others have speculated that it's more than the usual meld and maybe Liara is remembering Shepard's DNA. What if we go with the Glyph theory, what if Liara is indoctrinated? Why does she look so sad during that sequence, like she knows what is about to happen to Shepard? As far as I can tell, mind reading is not the same as knowing the future. But then I remembered the conversation was optional so it probably doesn't amount to much.
Anyway I found it minorly amusing that Liara could play the Benezia to Shepard's Saren, follow her with good intentions but ultimately fall victim to indoctrination. Such parallels aren't completely unthinkable.
Nice catch!

In case no one has linked this, here you go. This person thought they disproved IT while actually providing us with more reason to think London isn't real.
Whenever that topic comes up I try to tell people how it's possible for non-voice acted noise to be intended to sound like something but they can't seem to fathom the possibility.
Exactly. Besides, the importance of that scene is Harbinger's focus exclusively on Shep. What he garbles is, to me, largely irrelevant. To paraphrase what another poster has said on the matter, it's essentially conveying Vader's "I have you now" sentiment.
I think that may have been me who specifically used the wording "I have you now." But yes, that Harbinger recognized Shepard and behaved uniquely, including a garbled communication of some sort (probably 'primal noise' than anything legible) is still important.

Just quoting this out of context. Very Douglas Adams.

So... You say that the whole "renegade" "paragon" thing is a trick, right? That control is actually renegade, and destroy is paragon. And control is indcotrination.
So what you're basically saying is, that people who played a renegade played wrong?
Really, shouldn't the whole "paragon "renegade" be thrown out of the window now that we have synthesis, a "neutral" choice?
No. The coloration of the endings is more likely a trick, adding false comparisons to paragon/renegade morality to something that doesn't actually relate to them.
