User blog comment:Damous/Why Bioware has NOT betrayed us/@comment-5003949-20120505205146

I see the logic in this, since the child is the source of the Reapers, it makes sense that it's pure indoctrination energy, if you just pop a cap in the crucible killing the Reapers there is no time to fully indoctrinate Sheppard, in the other choices it makes sense you would be indoctrinated hence the child smiling in the control (if i remember correctly) destroy is red probably to throw off Heavy Paragon players, adding more to the fact that Sheppard is PARTLY indoctrinated by pure Reaper energy. Since Paragon is the right thing (killing the Reapers), and Renegade is the more self-centered path (control the Reapers) it would be nice to think that Bioware did this just to make you think. (or just to screw with our heads, still love ya though Bioware)
