User blog comment:Mexican215/Yes another ME3 ending blog..Why ME3 shouldn't be the end of Shepard/@comment-6293599-20130219223338

4Ferelden in the control option it does not seem that shepard lives on even the way the catalyst says he would. If you listen to the way it speaks in the epilogue it does not recognize itself as shepard but more like a new reaper AI that has the memories of shepard. To me he doesnt live on but rather uploads his intentions and memories into the reaper armada giving them new protocols. THIS IS MY OPINION
