After reading some of the information out there about the
theory, I think I'm a believer.
Completely changes things for me. If that's truly the way it ends, Bioware freaking blew my mind. And the writers are probably chuckling at all the people who didn't "get it" the first time.
They are famous for putting in things to reward the gamer who doesn't power-game through their games, for the person who takes time to love the experience. (IE, all the extras and their effect on the suicide mission in ME2). This theory would be the ultimate reward to the careful, observant gamer.
Of course, it's also a little uppity/snobby...
