Different sort of games though. Skyrim is all about exploration and a massive open world, whereas Mass Effect is about character development and a story driven game.

None of the Mass Effect games have produced 35+ hours of gameplay in one playthrough, hardly fair to compare it to a game like Skyrim.

Its very interesting that indoctrination vid like. Its amazing the little clues that have been spread throughout the game. Im not sure if it mentioned this in the vid or not but after watchign the bits about hearing reaper voices in the background during cutscenes I watched the first cutscene again when you are escaping Earth and watching that kid climb into the shuttle only for the shuttle to be destroyed. If you listen to the music during this bit its quite a sad melancholy bit of music but then suddenly a loud reaper like noise cuts through the music track, this is in the actual track of music, not just in the cutscene.

After watching the video this looks like its another sign of Shephards indoctrination as he appears sad, along with the music, but then the loud reaper noise rings out as if he is trying to battle it in his mind.

Or....... I might just be reading too much into it

And a video that explains it very clearly.

Class video mate, makes alot of sense. I noticed very little of that during the game shows how much attention I was paying

Yeah, it really seems to be the best explanation of the ending. I saw signs of Shepard's indoctrination during the game but hadn't decided it was full fledged. Then the Kai Leng bit, with the prothean AI shutting down in indoctrinated presence, seemed to confirm that Shepard wasn't indoctrinated. Indoctrination theory still has big holes in it but it is so much better to think that that is the ending they intended. Otherwise it's an abomination.

Never even thought about that.

So it seems that whichever ending they intended, all of them have massive plot holes. Way to go Bioware!

Certainly seems that way unless I'm missing something. I guess they could say that Shepard wasn't fully indoctrinated therefore wasn't recognised as a threat by the AI or something along those lines. Hopefully the DLC will bring some clarity but I really don't see how they could tie it all together.

very interesting. if this is intended (seems to make sense) then i feel alot better about the ending. dunno why theyd keep it secret though.
i did think it might be in his mind when everything blows up but shepherds body is back on earth and breathing. what, he fell from space back to london?
