BioWare has altered the Effective Military Strength rating needed to get the "perfect" ending in the extended cut. Originally at 4000, it has been lowered to 3100
i liked it. i mean it wasnt really much, but i was happy with the ending as it was. if the indoctrination theory was true it would have completely ruined the game for me so im pretty much just glad that wasnt the case. but im sure no one's minds will be changed because of this. it didnt answer any questions or right any wrongs.
I'll give you that.

Refusal was interesting, but pretty much useless.
Destruction was so-so. Not many improvements over the original. It established Shepard was alive and it was hinted at that his/her team was going to go looking for him/her but they still left a lot up to speculation.
Control was pretty good. Much better than the original. And Shep's speech gives me a very JC-Helios vibe, which I really liked.
Synthesis was the best, I think. The details of "how" were still a little fuzzy but it explained its purpose pretty well.
We've got two good endings, a so-so ending, and a useless ending. Much better than 3 shitty endings.
