it's an interesting read. especially compared to the indoctrination theory (which i've also read about today)

what do y'all think?

A great read indeed. It gave me a new perspective not only on the ending, but on the trilogy as a whole. I won't be able to unsee it in future playthroughs. Thank you for sharing! :)

That was really good. Thanks for posting. It changed how I felt about the games. Maybe time for another play through.

i am replaying the trilogy right now. i (almost) always choose the synthesis ending, because it is congruous (much like this article suggests) with the themes of mass effect. at the same time, the indoctrination theory suggests that the synthesis ending is similar to what saren is suggesting at the end of ME1.

Yes no matter what I read I can't get the thought out of my mind that Green = Saren and Blue = TIM. Red = Anderson and I'm ride or die.
