User blog comment:SunyiNyufi/My idea of Mass Effect 3 ending with Indoctrination Theory and what would come after/@comment-4933332-20120331093552/@comment-4933332-20120331162016

I'll just state that this ending was inspired by the deleted Carth Onasi ending of KOTOR where he could convince the dark side Revan to redeem herself and save the day at the end. I thought that could have fit well in mass effect as well.

Yeah it's probably isn't practical and it would only work if you failed the indoctrination test and is one of the bad ending and definitely shouldn't be the ending that everyone gets. So yes it makes shepard look weak but that's because the players made the wrong choices and put Commander Shepard in that position.

Probably too expensive to make this as well as the proper ending. Still, I guess when people thought Mass Effect 3 would be the game where divergent plot lines due to your choice we make. Having the game significantly diverse just at the end (I understand why it doesn't diverge everywhere else) was one of the things that fans hoped for.
