Maybe not so much in denial as pointing out to BioWare: "Look, here is a way back from the ledge you can take while maintaining that was the plan all along."
Aha. If I remember correctly, some BioWare employees said the IT is a fanfic. Besides, if the writers wanted to embrace the theory, they would have done so in the Ext. cut DLC.
Well, it seems as their loss, to be honest. I personally never cared about IT too much, but it could've been an interesting twist in the story. Besides, based on recent Survey, a lot of people would prefer IT instead
of what got. With IT it seems that fans made it very easy for BioWare to win after ending fiasco. I have to admit that should BW go with IT before EC, I would’ve feel ashamed for bashing them and would praise their creativity. Instead they did what they did and that’s just disappointing. It's like players give them every single possibility to make peace, and BW rejects each one of them. I do not understand how can they treat their fans so poorly.
I also honestly cannot understand how BioWare can talk about new game at this point. Their marketing department must do miracles to make most of fan base excited about it again.
IT has a lot of compettling aspects and as yet, nothing does really dispute it. In fact, consider that Leviathan adds to information about where it may well have come from-the Leviathan's thrall. It seems the machines that became reapers use indoctrination that is similart to but better than the thrall in some ways. Worse for people, but better for the reapers. Now, I have issues with it, but nothing suggested by it is as yet ruled out. And I wouldn't put any stock in this point at what BW employees have said-they've at times said IT doesn't fit and then have said it does. Anyone at this point that ever says, "Bioware said this..." as proof of something written in concrete, needs to really look back and see what other things they've said that ended up not being true. It's almost like you need to look at what they don't say or the opposite of what they do say and think therein lies the truth.
The problem is the writers considered IT as a way to end this story or as a major theme and then abandoned it, or so they said, but it appears they just left in all those things pointing to it because perhaps it would have been too costly to re-do all that stuff. And they may still have considered using it. I mean anyone who thinks that choosing control doesn't imply (clearly the writers have implied this) that a person who believed it was possible was indoctrinated and so Shepard could be, is dreaming. Even the "wake up" opening sentence of the kid's is out of place. I don't know many people that actually sleep on their hands and knees. I'm not saying IT would be the ending - I have no idea where BW might be going with this. Anything is possible. But, often it's the writers who limit what's possible.
And if that marketing department is made up of more people like the guy who said ME had been out since 2007, which he calculates to be 8 years and then says that at the end of ME3 you won't even care about your LI or friends because this is war! And, that no one would remember the events of ME or ME2, because no one remembers back that far, they they're in trouble. This person, Silverman, has no concept of the word fan, can't add and subtract, and doesn't know what people cared about in the game, as well as totally mischaracterized what the ending ended up being like. War, my eye. You could fall asleep through that. How exciting!
