Skydive. With or without a parachute. Wait, with a parachute that way if you don't feel alive by the bottom you don't need to pull the cord. Nothing like split second life decisions to make you feel more alive.
Finished it last night. Spent a lot thinking and reading about it. First the indoctrination theory is not an ending, it's how to justify the lack-luster ending we were given. If it was the ending at one point the final three "choices" would have been different. If you're indoctrinated you don't control your choices. You do what you're told. If there were an indoctrinated ending it would still be bad since the whole series was about Shepard's choices. Not the reapers.
If you were paragon you had to control, if you were renegade destroy. That's the character of Shepard. The ending shouldn't have been a choice. It should have been based on previous choices. That would have made the ending better. Not good but better.
A good ending would have been one that wasn't partially finished/entirely money driven. This ending was fine for a game, not a series that could have been the greatest trilogy of games every created. After much thought I find myself frustrated and very sad. I wanted to like this game more than any game ever. Too bad.
For all game developers out there killing the main first person character doesn't work. Not if the player is invested and is supposed to feel what the character is experiencing. We can't experience death. Stop trying to make us feel something about it. It is a causes a major disconnect with the game. If we knew anything about our own death there wouldn't be so many religions.
