I can actually. The game itself never once recognised the fact that Shepard was the one who did it. In fact, it's clearly stated that a group of soldiers did it. BioWare's incompetence can't change that. Of course, none of that matters. The fact that Shepard came into contact with Object Rho proves absolutely nothing. There is nothing tying those two events together. It has even been said that Shepard is strong enough to resist Indoctrination. Don't tell me that resisting indoctrination all comes down to a poorly-written dream sequence where the ghost of a dead kid pretends to be God and tricks you into somehow killing yourself. Again, nothing but guess work.

I don't see your point. Indoctrination is still a bad idea. The very fact that it's entirely equivocal is what makes it so stupid. You're telling me you like the idea of an ending where you are fooled, and you have no way of knowing? I guarantee you, no one say little black lines around the screen, coupled with the tone of the hologram kid's voice and said "OMG! I'm being indoctrinated! It's so obvious! Clearly Destroy means that I will break free from some sort of Reaper mind-control, whilst picking the other two non-choices will kill me!"

Give me a break.
