*Proof* Mass Effect 3 Endings Were Indoctrinations

UPDATE: I'm sure some of you downloaded an app called ME3: Final Hours which explained some last minute details about the game and its creators. Some of you have been saying that what was said in it disproves the Indoctrination theory. Well this is the passage at which you think it "disproves" the theory.

"And even in November the gameplay team was still experimenting with an endgame sequence where players would suddenly lose control of Shepard's movement and fall under full reaper control. (This sequence was dropped because the GAMEPLAY MECHANIC proved too troublesome to implement alongside dialogue choices)"

SO WHAT I'M GETTING FROM THIS IS THAT THE GAMEPLAY OF SHEPARD BEING INDOCTRINATED WAS SCRAPPED. NOT THE IDEA OR PLOTPOINT OF IT.


NOW I SAY "DREAM" BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE ME UNIVERSE TO UNDERSTAND INDOCTRINATION. SO WHEN I SAY DREAM JUST REPLACE IT WITH INDOCTRINATION.

I mentioned this before in comments but not the video because I wasn't sure. By choosing the synthetic option you allow reapers to be apart of organic life. Therefore you are still indoctrinated unlike the destroy ending.

"Controlling the reapers is going head to head mentally against the reapers in a power battle you will undoubtedly lose. Synthesis is complete submission to their beliefs. They are both a form of indoctrination, just in two separate ways created to appeal to two different kinds of Shepards (aka, players). It's the subtle difference between an indoctrinated TIM and an indoctrinated Saren."

Next, people are wondering why the Reapers would offer the destroy ending in the indoc process if it means Shep could "escape". Well first and foremost if it wasn't there Shepard would have realized immediately something was up and broken through the indoctrination process then and there. Didn't anyone think it strange that the catalyst sweet talked the other two options? Do you know how many people I know that choose control or synthesis because they thought those were the correct choices? That says a lot.



Also, based on this theory the fate of the Normandy crew/Mass Relays were all conjured up by the indoctrination and the fact that the game needed some form of ending. After all, Shepard wouldn't be breathing if the Mass Relay in the Sol system was destroyed. Plus, the old man and child sequence could also be conjured up or when the stargazer says "one...more...story" could signify DLC. AND YES PEOPLE THAT MEANS IF YOU CHOOSE DESTROY THAN SHEPARD DIDN'T DEFEAT THE REAPERS AND STILL HAS TO DO THAT. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP DLC OR OTHER FORMS OF MEDIA.

Your a piece of shit goodkyle

[TheGOODKyle]

I know. I'm working on it along with trying not to correct other people's grammar. *You're....damn! Did it again!

[Sion Chambers]

*Proof* that the ending isn't Indoctrination!

DLC.

[Jeff Wright]

Ya but it doesn't turn into concrete.

[Jeff Wright]

This is true the Devs practicaly say it you have to learn the meaning not what they say. Just like Politics and the Military.

[Jeff Wright]

You don't know the lore do you? He was a "bag of meat" which means no armor just a container and you. Second The Shadow Broker and Liara got to you before Cerberus, but Liara gave you to Cerberus because they wanted to bring you back. Third His/Her name is Shepard not Sheppard, Shepperd, or Sheperd (one who herds) Fourth Can you fall through a building made by eezo. . . NO the concrete is so tough you can shoot it with a tank. Fifth Shepard was dead FOR 2 YEARS that's not short. So learn my son.

[Jeff Wright]

Have you played ME? Obviously not. . . that or you're so bad at learning other ideas that you have no grasp over reality. So learn and experience my son.

[boxed900]

... -.-

[boxed900]

... thats rude...

[boxed900]

around 5:20 you say that he would burn up right? even if he didn't (which he would) he would die from landing on the ground from such a high fall

[boxed900]

the dlc is the ending of rejection right? if so then that is also him rejection indocrination and will then later wkae up on earth again...

[kivey42]

Ok ill give you that. He did die, the Argument that he died from the blast or from falling out of the sky, being ignored. he still did die, but if you remember they said: "You are part Synthetic"? I don't remember the word used but he wasn't fully human after being revived, its possible whatever it was, kept him together just enough to be alive and in a Coma.Then again the argument could be made that, that breath was his last, we don't know. id like to think he was in a coma.

[Tosh Harris]

Yes but Shepard died in me2 and remember how Jacob said you were just a bag of meat? no way Shepard would of survived that impact or falling threw a building or getting spaced he doesn't even have his helmet Shepard may be a utter badass but he isn't superman/ironman.
