User blog comment:HELO/Indoctrination or Not, It's Problematic/@comment-24.132.1.203-20120505220755/@comment-3581090-20120507145912

I know, I've seen the videos. And it's all conspiracy theory, as far as I'm concerned. It's a bunch of wonderful conjecture from fans who want desperately for BioWare not to have made as bad a game as they actually did. I mean, you can believe what you want (God knows I've tried to convince myself the game wasn't as bad as it was), but I think pretty much everything about the indoctrination theory can be explained away by 3 real-life considerations:


 * poor use of cliche dramatic actions
 * rushed development
 * bad writing.

And, as I said above, the biggest problem with the theory is that, if it is true, it measns BioWare sold us an unfinished game, b/c the Reaper invasion is still going on if you break out of the Reaper dream state--which is the whole point of the plot, not whether or not Shepard can out-will indoctrination.
