User blog comment:The Milkman/Indoctrination: You're Doing It Wrong/@comment-5008642-20120623204717

1) If I am correct than the Reapers can't really force their control onto you, you have to allow it. 2) It only takes 1 time of being near a Reaper to cause the effects of Indoctrination to start and it can be fast or slow, in Shep's case, slow, also he has been near and inside several reapers. I.E. The Reaper Destroyer on Raanoch, the Reaper tech in the first game, Sovereign, the Dormant Reaper. 3) Yes, a game should be about fun but also creativity. 4) To be technical, Shepard could have survived the laser because it wasn't directly on him nor was it a few feet away, maybe a few meters. 5) You should note that there were trees and shrubs at the beam when you "woke up" whereas it was a barren "No Man's Land" before. 6) How could Anderson have gotten into the Citadel before you and NOT help you? He would've had to run past all the dying soldiers and you to get in. 7) How did Anderson and the Illusive Man even get into the control room even though there was only one way in? How could they have not noticed the Illusive Man till then? 8) I never really got the Dead Space plot, though it was very disturbing to watch after only a few episodes. Yes, I watched someone else play it. 9) Why would Harbinger fly away leaving the teleporter unprotected while people were still crawling and walking down there? 10) After you "Wake Up" you are walking really slow and also everything looks like a dream sequence. 11) If they indoctrinate the galaxy's "Hero" they could seriously undermine them and it would be a major demorializing blow. 12) At the beginning, why wouldn't anyone help the poor child running, trying to get in the Kodiak? No one even noticed him. You'd think soldiers would want to get the Civvies out quickly and the civvies would want to get out really fast. 13) Why didn't Anderson notice the child in the vent or hear him talking? I certainly would've and I've got some bad hearing. 14) In Indoctrination, the subject complains about "Hearing Noises", "Hallucinating", also the Rachni Queen in the first game said that she saw "Oily figures" like the ones in Shep's dreams, when she was being Indoctrinated. To end this all up, THEY DID TELL US, they gave us clues and signs throughout all 3 games, but I see where your going, they didn't tell us outright saying, "Shepard has been going through Indoctrination this whole time." but they did tell us. I hope this helps with any of you. If you have further questions just look for The Indoctrination theory on Youtube, I think by Angry Joe, though I may have hit all the spots.
