Here is the indoctrination shown in longer explanation (by same guy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythY_...ature=youtu.be
Now after watching this, I have reevaluated quite few things and this is my take.
The whole indoctrination theory IS actually true, but not in the way you think, as in all that was put in on purpose by Bioware. In fact everything you see - the plot holes and everything were on purpose put in to guide you into thinking something is wrong, not right, it does not make sense. Even more so and I think I am actually quite on the spot with this: The reason why the the control and synthesis were in blue (paragon) and destroy was in orange (renegade) - is because bioware actually try to manipulate you. The bioware tried to indoctrinate the player into thinking if they choose blue (paragon) you would have the best solution. It is a natural choice to be taken by the players (usually, just saying - not saying that everyone played a paragon shep)
If you go against everything you think or believe and choose orange (renegade) you break the indoctrination - you break indoctrination - but you also go against your better belief of higher goodness.
Now everything you see is illusion, including the jokers flight etc etc. However if you have enough EMS - Shepard lives. so if you keep trying you can get the ultimate best ending, where Shepar and the player define the reapers and indoctrination and actually survive: Shepard survives: giving way for future DLC
I now believe all that was part of the original plan that BW did think this will be sufficient and also dropping these inplausiable plot holes. what they DIDN'T count on would be fan reaction. They thought that will be enough till future DLCs come along. But unfortunatelly they screwed up by not giving any proper ending to the MAIN GAME. They screwed it up by not making it more obvious that the actual closures are coming later and I think they made big mistake deciding for it.
Hence why they have been these mishaps 'where someone claims, endings were planned as they were' and nothing else was planned immediately. They thought fans will see it through and will be ok. Except they are not, the shitstorm that has come up now, has forced them to speed up the plans that they most probably were having a lot longer time tables. This makes me thing ending was not rushed, it was actually as they have been saying planned like this, they just didnt expect players to react like they did and they now have less time to ship out the DLC than they originally thought.
I now think the decisions do matter and will be shown in future DLCs how they play out, but we all get that bitter sweet moment.....
uh I hope this makes sense
