Honestly this is a really good game and I mean a really good game. If you've enjoyed any of the previous titles in the series and don't plan to continue Shepard's mission, your missing out. This is coming from someone that felt ME2 was a so-so game(The shadow broker stuff is still fun though). I'm always finding myself impressed at the dialogue, how the characters are handled (Mordin and Grunt are awesome) and its also awesome that Shepard is hilarious in this game. Although I hate Vega, I really wish I had busted his balls and made him call me commander when the option came up. Vega was an asshole, but I kinda grew to like him as the game went on. Like with most Bioware characters. Mordin's last mission made me cry buckets. |

I didn't choose to tell them about the sabotage straight away, I only told Mordin when we got to the tower. He quickly assessed the whole situation and then quietly added "And you knew." That just killed me right there.

I really liked that touch,Mordin realising the whole thing in a few seconds showed just how smart he is (even for Salarian standards).
One of the best characters in the series,IMO.

I'd heard about that. It seems the likely explanation to me, but I'm not still skeptical about it. What ending did you choose Painkiller? I destroyed the Reapers and the Mass Relays. |

The ending to ME3 was total bullshit, all nerd rage is completely justified.

Q: How many Reapers does it take to beat Shepard?
A: 601. 600 to engage his armada and one to pose as a kid and convince him to kill himself.

I destroyed the Reapers and the Mass Relays. You picked the right ending. I've bought into the indoctrination theory since it actually makes sense over what was the ending. The husk eyes the synthesis and control endings sold me. It also helps that if you chose the destroy option(Anderson) Shepard wakes up in London and not dead, despite the God child saying otherwise / being dead center of a massive explosion. The God Child lies, he fooled me. Otherwise the ending makes next to no sense for a plethora of reasons that honestly are hard to believe considering how well the story was going to just prior running into our pal harbinger.  |

I honestly think the Indoctrination theory gives Bioware too much credit. But hey, they did promise to release a DLC to "provide some closure" so yay for that at least.
I also heard that the ending was a rush job because their actual ending plans leaked back in November, I think, so they had to scrap the whole think and start over.
On the other hand, I also heard the ending was entirely the brain child of the director and lead writer without any of the other writing staff involved, in which case it's pretty much an ego trip on part of those two guys and is unlikely to ever be fixed.

I think the indoctrination theory is just fans grasping at straws and being in denial instead of actually accepting that Bioware screwed us twice on two franchises with promise (Dragon Age being the other. Dragon Age 2 was crap) Also we will always remember:   |

I honestly think the Indoctrination theory gives Bioware too much credit. That was what I first thought when I saw it to be honest, but it just makes so much more sense at this point out of an ending that honestly made next to none if you throw any logic at it. Hoping to god if it isn't the case that Bioware takes it and makes it so. I think the indoctrination theory is just fans grasping at straws and being in denial instead of actually accepting that Bioware screwed us twice on two franchises with promise (Dragon Age being the other. Dragon Age 2 was crap) I was on the same boat, I honestly didn't think Bio-ware could be so brilliant. Despite the game for the most part being great up until being blasted by Harbinger, which then the plot holes make it appear as if an entirely different writing staff came in to finish the story. - A little boy that can survive a reaper blast that blew the room he was in sky high; Anderson not even over-hearing the conversation Shepard has with the teleporting boy, no one giving a damn to evac him when Sheppard sees him(climbs up all on his own), same little boy plagues Shepard with illusions throughout the game and turns out to be the God Child. -Anderson somehow makes it to the Citadel, apparently following you, despite the radio telling you at the start that everyone gunning for the portal was blown to smithereens and Shepard is supposedly knocked out for a bit to boot. He somehow then beats you to the console when there is only ONE way to get to it. After Anderson gets shot, your the one grasping a bullet hole in the same place you shot him(our heroic Marauder shot Shep's in the shoulder and I doubt Harbinger busted a cap in Shepard's insides). - Indoctrination eyes / transformation for Saren's synthesis ending and the Illusive Man's control ending, then waking up in London if you choose to destroy the reapers. - The whole endings after this with the Joker for some godly unknown reason flying the ship away at FTL when moments ago the most advance ship in the galaxy was helping the fleet and your squad members ending up back on the ship, etc say otherwise, but for all I know( please god, Bioware, take this bit of fanfiction and make it the DLC) this was all in Sheppard's head. Hell they call a retreat AFTER Harbinger flies off. Apparently without Anderson in charge all the military folk get whacked with the stupid stick. That one marauder is going to take them all down. And somehow everyone is still chatting with Shepard, despite his radio shouldn't even be there anymore or Hackett at this point not even having a clue about anyone making it to the citadel. "Why the hell am I the only person with a handfull of Husks guarding this damn potentially war ending hole in our defenses?" Although, yeah, Dragon Age 2 could have been better, lol. Eitherway, red explosions Shepard can still walk, fire a pistol straight up seemingly recovering, somehow survive a massive explosion and wake up in London for no freaken reason. Hell even his armor looks in better shape. |

Dragon Age 2 was good. It just wasn't as good as the first. Honestly that still puts it head and shoulders over the average game.

As if half-assed jobs and lazyness can't account for this.... sure Everything past Harbinger's beam makes next to no sense after without the indoctrination theory. Shepard literally finds a magic bullet hole in the same region he shot Anderson, survives a space city blowing up in his face and wakes up in London. Bioware would have to intentionally be spitting out this nonsense. Hell the trees are straight out of Shepard's dreams. Either way I just killed Marauder shields and killed the reapers in my head again. Take that God Child in my head.  |

Eh my opinion of humanity is low enough not to believe in any secret game ending saving plot to justify the shitty ending.
