User blog comment:SunyiNyufi/My idea of Mass Effect 3 ending with Indoctrination Theory and what would come after/@comment-4933332-20120331093552/@comment-3527219-20120331201409

Didn't hear about that cut ending from Kotor. Might have been interesting...and would have made Carth less boring hahaha :D

Again, I really like the idea though. Shepard failing, and yet succeeding in the end is a very interesting concept... and certainly the kind of bittersweetness (is that even a word?) that Bioware was going for but failed at.

Oh! Just an idea: if we operate under the assumpstion that the Catalyst and that talk with TIM was an indoctrination attempt that succeeded, the best boss fight would be a Shepard vs. Anderson one. You having to kill your father figure, who was holding out for you on Earth, and who was proud of you, would really be a kick in the gut!

You know, thinking about how could you make the players cry the most, is sort of fun too... I'm a strange person...
