    Every time he appears in blue hologram form they point guns at him like he is actually there. You think they would catch on to that. With the blue glowing and all, it seems obvious that he isn't really standing in front of you.

    This is clearly the biggest problem in the game plot wise.

    I was thinking that every single time it happened. Clearly the biggest problem though, not the ending

    Thank you for throwing that right into the title without spoiler tag or anything.

    Well, every time you see him for the bulk of the game, he is in hologram form.  OP isn't saying TIM is actually not a real person.

    I think when they were mocapping it there was an actual person standing there, so pointing a gun at him made some sense.

    You guys need to read into it further. He just revealed that TIM is a real person. Not something else. I suspected something because of his damn eyes. Thanks a lot.

    Wee, how we love those spoilers as titles! I'm thrilled you couldn't hide it in a better way, and decided to blatantly throw it out there. Three cheers for you, good sir!

    I already love this thread. Those people are going to be confused.

    Great wording OP.

    Edit: Also, I totally never took notice of that until now...it shouldn't take them more than a second or two to realize it when he appears.

    I found it a bit strange too. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

    Given that I haven't played any of the Mass Effect series, I can't say for sure if this is a spoiler or not. I tried asking someone who was playing ME3, but upon seeing the title they cursed and threw stuff at me, so I didn't get a direct answer.

    Regardless, since this thread seems to be riling people up over a potential spoiler more than inspiring discussion on the topic, it probably shouldn't continue on. Sorry about that.
