I don't know if you have been paying attention to the things coming out of BioWare, but the Indoctrination Theory is a wishful dream invented by fans, constructed out of glitches and unrelated content to explain an ending that is, unfortunately, exactly as it seems.

Yeah, it does seem to make a lot of sense and it would be pretty nice if it were true but it does certainly not look like BioWare meant for it.

[General Battuta]

Just for pity's sake I'll drop one item on the other side: there was something involving indoctrination or Reaper control over Shep planned, then later cut. Maybe we're seeing leftovers from that?

[NGTM-1R]

I'm hearing the planned DLC is just explanatory rather than, you know, fixing any of the other things.

In on the ground floor for the ****storm.

[The E]

I'm hearing the planned DLC is featuring invisible pink elephants.

That'd actually be a good DLC.

better than what we got

[MatthTheGeek]

You remember all the memes pictures we got on the theme "better love story than twilight" ? I think we should brace ourself for something similar with "better ending than ME3".

I'll say this much for Mass Effect 3 - it totally dethroned Fallout 3 as the king of bad endings

[The E]

One thing that is really pissing me off right now about the whole ****storm is people posting stuff they've heard somewhere without giving information on where they've heard it, or how trustworthy the source is.

[LordPomposity]

People tell me that my source is trustworthy.

[Liberator]

At least one ending should have Shep's love interest lead a squad against an indoctrinated shep as the final boss.

T'would be epic.

[Mongoose]

This should be fun for someone, somewhere.

[The E]

So apparently there's a scam going around to trick people into doing some stupid surveys to get the "real" ending.

WTF.

[MatthTheGeek]

Darwin award.

Never fails.

Kids these days...

I don't know. The ending didn't ruin the game THAT much for me. But I was well prepared (without spoilers) so I enjoyed the rest of it far more by knowing the ending would be strange suck.

Why do these videos get linked like every page when we already know there is nothing to them

It's like the Truther movement invaded the Wong game.

Honestly I don't have that much of an issue with the ending minus the weird Normandy escaping part which wasn't given enough forewarning (a few lines of dialog about why Joker would be fleeing when in every other game he saves your ass at the last second). That's the part that I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea.

[newman]

Yea that part makes no sense. Hell I'd have been happier with the Joker and the Normandy making the ultimate sacrifice in the battle. I still wouldn't be happy because frankly, I'm sick and tired of all the fashionable trendy grimdark, but at least it would have made some sense. But I'm also tired of listening to the "we don't want a happy ending just one that makes sense" argument too. I agree that a grimdark ending that made sense would have been better, yes, but if I've made sure to make all the right choices in 3 games over 5 years then damn it yes, I want a happy ending and I don't care if it's not cool or edgy these days. If I want to get depressed I'll watch the news, not play a space opera game.
