Topic: Bioware, probably screwing themselves in the butt, interview

Spoilers GALORE, so yea.....

Just wanted to revive this topic..... since I've just recently watched the "Extended Cuts" and the Indoctrination Theory.

Videos that you'll need to see for my thoughts to make sense.

The Indoctrination Theory is...... to say the least.... Incredible. It is well thought out, and I didn't find anything that seemed off in it at all. Furthermore, watching the Extended Cuts, which some people might think is a bigger PoS than the original endings because it seems to be made to destroy the Indoctrination Theory... I think it further implies the Indoctrination Theory as true, in a subtle way.

The 3 endings, all have long pointless dialogues saying this is how it turns out, blah blah blah. But the Destroy Ending has all of that, even showing Shepard being "dead" with his abandon helmet and his name being plastered on the wall for remembrance of those who fell. But at the near end, right before the legend story telling bull crap that was one of my reasons for hating the ending, it shows Shepard's chest rise to show that's he's alive. So to me... it basically points to the fact that everything happened in a "This is what happens because you chose this" indoctrination sequence.

Now this doesn't make me excuse Bioware or EA. In fact it sort of condemns them both even more. Bioware for whoring out and bending over to money over creativity, and EA for slapping the ass it's already riding.

I mean, this could have been just one of the best stories I've ever played. It's true that the characters in ME3 were less interesting and the story is linear, but it was good none the less.

Tell me what you think about it.
