Ah fuck, she's at it again...

Okay, I know you're likely tired of seeing flack about the ME3 endings, but I made a finding that pretty much made me do the "oh shit, DUH" face.

It's all part-in-parcel to the hallucination theory, specifically as a result of indoctrination, and Lookingglassmind's explanation of the whole event is bloody perfect... But what got me was at the very end of the post there, in Nighthunter's snapshot mashup. It's quite obvious when you see the lineup, especially when you compare it to the world environment as you limp weakly toward the beam after getting hit by the massive lazer. As the photo shows, the "control" side matches up with a Mako that's just there. The "synthesis" beam is solidly in the middle, right where the teleporter beam is. And as for "destroy," the only side that involves Shepard using a gun... Wasn't Marauder Shields standing there after a small group of husks?
You know, Lookingglassmind said it best, and that's how godly Bioware will be seen in the RPG realm if this is truly the explanation. They will have indoctrinated all of their devoted gamers if it's true... And if it's not, they better pull a Sayn and pretend it is. I still have that waiting feeling, and I'm sure tons more do as well.
On a side note, I'm seeing several usernames speak of this Vakarian Family Content pack... I've got full and confident reason to believe this is nothing but a fanmade pipedream to make themselves feel better, but I can't help but wonder where everyone's picked up the same term all of a sudden... Granted, all of the "content" I've seen listed is very fangirlish, varying from user to user, and just plain silly, which is the reason for my 90% doubt of its existence. Plenty of room for doubt, but I think I remember this exact term being mentioned before the Resurgence pack came out... I dunno. Alcohol-influence thinking, by this point in my day...
But anyway, if anyone wants to go multiplayer with me, send Shifty009 a friend invite with your FA name so I don't accidentally confuse you for a clanner. lol I'm good for just about any run by now, including gold run strategies against the geth... Get a team of krogan vanguards going and I'll pick mine and we'll do a silver run against the reapers... It's fun gangbanging a banshee with that many krogan. lol It's a krogan belief that asari are "squishy..." I guess they stay that way after indoctrination, as well.

Remember the research Tali was doing on the sun that was aging too fast and the apparent cause was dark matter at the core? Apparently that is a galaxy wide problem and the Reapers are attempting to fix it (Basically they are the Keepers of the galaxy). Originally, the Reapers were harvesting humans as a last ditch effort to fix the dark matter epidemic because of the human's unique ability to adapt. Hence why they were building a Human Reaper. The ending was supposed to be Shepard deciding to either continue harvesting humans in order to repair the Human Reaper and fix the epidemic or tell the Reaper's to fuck off and use the resources you've gathered throughout the 3rd game to come up with an alternative plan that most likely would fail and wipe out all life in the galaxy..... dot. That was the ending.
The Indoctrination Theory is interesting, and if that was their intention than we have to give them props. But honestly it looks more like they scraped the original ending out of spite and put together a pick A, B or C type ending because they couldn't come up with anything else.
Yeah, it pissed everyone off... And while the "original" story they had in mind seems a little bleak as well, at least it would have preserved a chance at surviving the blight. It would be a great idea to give the Reapers the shaft and work on your own solutions and have them work if you have enough war assets, and I totally would have picked that over what they've got now, but I've got one nit-picky problem with the idea and that's the fact that the whole aging sun problem was so obscure, I had completely forgotten about it by the next mission after its mention. It's like Tali tells me about it in passing, then it never sees the light of day again. I would have paid more attention if it seemed like a bigger problem than it was being described, but from a story standpoint, I was too drawn to finishing missions on time, trying to save the goddamned Dalatrass, and the deadly Reaper threat itself... And I don't mean one of those "holy shit, didn't even see that threat sneaking up on me" sort of moments, it was like... "...Who cares?" *summons a giant worm to kill a giant Reaper before it squishes me* But yes...
........Still a better ending. lol
