You...critique things intelligently and post thoughts honestly?

And yes, lurkers are more than welcome and shouldn't fear posting their thoughts.  Just look at what I post: it ranges from pretty well grounded in evidence to "this is barely justifiable but kind of related." If any trolls try to bother you, Liara keeps a watchful eye around here

Nothing personal Lex but Estebauns thought that your aren't the Counciler tip, like how Anderson was. He hated being a counciler, and makes some good speeches/motivations too.

In an effort to bring this back to speculations: Can someone explain why so many people still think the epilogues (not necessarily the space scenes/Normandy scenes) are part of the indoctrination attempt and not actual depictions of the galaxy's future?

It's my belief coming as an overlay-time theorist that the epilogue scenes ARE REAL but everything Shepard faces post "serve us" is fake.

Remember how we talked about religious imagery in the ending and allegory? The writers are explaning how religions and cults are formed.

1. You have past events that are real and are more or less based somewhat on historical events (ME1-near end of ME3)
2. You usually have a mesiah figure who during a short period of time accomplishes miracles and fantastically stories that are scientifically impossible and with logic that sometimes does not make sense (ending of ME3)
3. You have "modern period" epilogue scenes.

Stargazer doesn't know the full details of what happens at the end of ME3 and Shepard in the same way that we in the modern world don't know the full story of Jesus or Mohammed (insert the name of your messiah figure here) and because of that- why people depend on allegory and religious texts. Jesus and Mohammed may have been real people but since "details are lost in time" they've become Legends.

Get it?

That said, the details lost in time does not mean that those details will not be filled...

We can't say for certain whether they are real or not but...if you take all of the endings together there are two pivotal things that can be explained through Shepard's willpower:

1) The soldiers that are fighting the husks.  This point has been mentioned quite a few times.  In Destroy, they continue fighting until the bitter end whereas in Control and Synthesis, the husks are winning out.  This could be an illustration of Shepard's mental state versus Reaper power.  In Control and Synthesis, Shepard doesn't believe he is destroying the Reapers and so if the soldiers are indicative of his willpower, they will not fare well against Reapers.

2) The Normandy memorial wall scene.  When Shepard believes openly accepts his death at the hands of the Reapers, his name is placed on the wall.  In Destroy, the companion not only doesn't place the plaque on the wall but some of them seem to be smirking.  How would the companion be so sure of Shepard's survival as to not place his name on the wall AND smile?  This can be readily explained if they represent part of Shepard's consciousness: at this point of the vid Shepard realizes that he has succeeded and that he is still alive.  This explanation also reconciles very well with Shepard waking up right after the memorial scene

I think we need to seperate the slides from what happens on dream planet.

1. Everything in the space battle is real... even the crucible firing.

2. Dream planet is fake... fake fake fake.... faker than fakey McFake Fake. It is the "haven" in Shepard's mind.

3. Stargazer scene is very real but it happens soooooooo long after the events of ME3. It's meant to show that after signficant periods of time how real events get the details lost in time. Stargazer is telling this fantastical story to this child about Shepard in the same way an adult would explain a religion to the child. The problem is we know the facts of the Mass Effect universe... that's why we're all here ITers, through logic and reason we can see through the BS of the ME3 ending unlike the way a child would when faced with a similar story.

The ME3 ending is a parody of religion and ironically comments on how people accept faith (or indoctrination)  in other religious faiths about mesiahs or "Shepards" who perform miracles that we know are impossible.

It's telling that Bioware took so much inspiration from Dante's "The Divine Comedy" about the "souls journey to God." The ME3 is a parody of the "person's acceptance of god"... a subtle but important distinction.

Sorry if I offended anyone here who is religious.

So, is the Typhoon REALLY as bad post nerf as Rifneno says it is?  Or is it just Rifneno being, well, Rifneno?

But I overruled him and declared I wouldnt sit on a council that didnt include lex0r.

[masster blaster]

Besides we have nothing better to do, and if Bioware want's us to speculate well we simply are, but in our way of a day off of speculations.
