Ahhh but see that would imply that Rachni Queens have an inherent immunity to Indoctrination...however we know that queens in the past have been Indoctrinated, that's what started the Rachni War.

Too complex for partial indoctrination, but too valuable for total indoctrination. Being the control center for a hive mind species would most likely afford a Queen protection from mind control in the same way that Legions more complex matrix kept him free of Reaper control.

oh, and one of my favorite parts of the game is when Grunt comes strolling out of the cave absolutely DRENCHED in blood.
Well, we know that full blown Indoctrination eventually kills you, and they probably needed the Rachni Queen alive, so she could keep pumping out Ravagers. They need to keep sending a never-ending stream of those things to the same six Firebases.RJ 17 said:Ahhh but see that would imply that Rachni Queens have an inherent immunity to Indoctrination...however we know that queens in the past have been Indoctrinated, that's what started the Rachni War.

So basically they are keeping it the same, but they are going to try and explain it. Well it certainly will be interesting to see how they are going to explain the ending they gave us. I don't expect this is going to do anything to salvage the ending whatsoever.
And where, praytell, do you draw the line? I'm pretty sure a lot of people lump me in with the whiners because I had the audacity to imply that the ending was ham-fisted, lazy, ill-fit the series' tone and relied on a variety of literary faux pas in order to play out the way it did and that the writers owed it to themselves and the series itself to fix those issues that marred what otherwise might have been a magnum opus. Mind you, I made it a point to point out the various reasons I felt the ending was horrible from a literary standpoint throughout my posts on the subject, and I'm still fairly certain that my position alone causes many to consider me a 'whiner'tony2077 said:
Yes, but that doesn't prove that it wasn't just the workers who were turned. Sovereign could have killed off most, if not all, of the Queens and still had hundreds of millions if not billions of Rachni under his control. I would love more info on the Rachni War from the Rachni side, but we only have the one Queen who was still an egg at the time. War is more interesting when you have an account from both sides.RJ 17 said:Ahhh but see that would imply that Rachni Queens have an inherent immunity to Indoctrination...however we know that queens in the past have been Indoctrinated, that's what started the Rachni War.

true. they are trying to do as little as possible, yet make it seem big, to try and keep their fans wrapped around their devilish finger. the SOLE REASON why they are making it free, is because they'd have one hell of a shitstorm to deal with if they didn't, and most people would just youtube/wiki the add on. otherwise you bet your sweet ass they'd be charging 10 bucks for it.Adam Jensen said:It sounds like shit.

That's when you just break down and write a fanfiction ending. It seems to be the trend these days >.>Bara_no_Hime said:This.Nimcha said:
I can deal with pretty much everything else by simply using logic (and my imagination) to fill in the other issues, but the Normandy sequence is what bothered me. Fix that and I'm good.
Although... I would love to see Reaper God Shepard (I picked Control for my Paragon FemShep) assuming direct control (in FemShep voice) and repairing the relays/various homeworld cities/Citadel so that galactic society can continue on. ^^
I can hope, right?
I doubt this is the last we'll hear about this. Wishful thinking doesn't hurt though!DrVornoff said:
Hey now, those data terminals aren't going to hack themselves! Though on that note, I do agree that the Alliance should look into getting equipment that doesn't break down so easily. I think the problem is that both sides of the skirmishes have been watching old Captain Kirrahe vids and as such they're both trying to HOLD THE LIIIIIINE!BloatedGuppy said:Well, we know that full blown Indoctrination eventually kills you, and they probably needed the Rachni Queen alive, so she could keep pumping out Ravagers.

Seriously guys, give up on those Firebases already. It's not going to happen.
