![]() Section 1: You can not trust the Catalyst! If you are new to the Indoctrination Theory it is a very good idea that you first start here before proceeding. Note: This analysis will be including discussion of the Indoctrination Theory. One that once accepted turns the entire ending of Mass Effect 3 on its head. well we can still discuss why and how it can be interpreted to be better.īut long before we get to any of that, there is a very important argument to be made that almost all other arguments hinge upon. And even if the writers come out and spell out exactly how they intended to interpret the endings, and we don't like it. ![]() I would argue that the more we discuss and analyze the ending, the more enjoyment we will get from it. But most import of all, you do not have to believe in any form of the so called "Indoctrination Theory" to follow me on this breakdown and examination of the issues with the endings of Mass Effect 3. There are also other ways to view the endings, and I will get to those too. But as far fetched as it may seem on the surface, there are good arguments to support this theory. Well maybe some of it is, and maybe it isn't. Others believe just what we see after we make our final choice is an hallucination. Some go as far as to say that twist is that everything after Harbingers beam hitting Shepard is an indoctrination induced hallucination. A twist they have no intention of revealing (or at least not any time soon). Some argue that there is something deeper going on and that Bioware wrote a twist into the ending. Some argue that Bioware just wrote a bad ending.

I know that if taken literally and at face value, I find those endings absurd and insulting to the narrative of the series thus far. I think most peoples issue with the end is the very existence of the Control and Synthesis choices. In fact I think it is utterly brilliant in many ways.
