EDIT: OK THE RESULTS ARE UP! Please go to the thread here if you want to see them.

Ok, I want to collect some data on reactions to the ending, but I don't think the BSN poll system will allow me to properly frame this question. I will present it as 3 questions below. Individually these are all questions that have been asked many times before, however I think seeing these answers together will provide valuable insight into people's feelings on the game and ending.

1) What Choice did you pick your first time through

2) On a scale of 1-10 rate the pre-EC ending

3) On a Scale of 1-10 rate the post-EC ending

4) Did you at some point change what was your personal Shepard's "canon" choice, and if so what did you change to and why.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Let me say this before it becomes an issue. Please do not post responses to people's answers in this thread, this thread is for answering the above questions ONLY. If I get a large number of responses, I will create a second thread where I link to this one for discussion purposes.

EDIT 2: Because I am actually make a spreadsheet for this, if you do not stay withing the boundaries of the question (ie, giving a value of -2 for the ending) I will not be able to include your answer in the data.

2. I feel generous, 3
3. Emotionally satisfying, crap plotwise, 7.5

1) Control. I figured I would just take control of the reapers and fly them into the nearest black hole.

2) 0. I have never seen anything like this complete nonsense ending. Even Lost made more sense than this.

3) 1. At least they added a little bit of an epilogue... Still doesnt make any sense.

4) Yes, after seeing the ending, I reloaded the game and let myself get killed by Marauder Sheilds. I thought that ending was a hell of a lot better than the other options.

1) Control, but if I knew the scenes I would have picked Destroy.
2) 3/10
3) 5/10
4) I played Renegade the entire trilogy, but would pick Paragon on the major choices. I thought Control would play out differently, and was honestly a bit in shock when playing the ending.

Answers are currently coming in along the lines I expected, but I need a LOT more data. New people, please keep answering! Once I get enough responses I will collate the data and put up a post regarding my conclusions.

1) Synthesis after deliberating over the choice for a good 5 minutes. Didn't want to kill EDI and the geth, didn't want to admit TIM was right, and I was still confused over the complete narrative swap and just settled for the green one.

2) Unforgettable for all the wrong reasons, 4/10.

3) Forgettable, bordering on tolerable, 6/10.

4) Yes, Destroy. After considering all the facts and results of Control and Synthesis, Destroy is the only true ending. Control is admitting the only real enemy of the game (TIM and by extension Cerberus) was correct, Synthesis is allowing the reapers to get off scott free for thousands of years of genocide.

If I have to be honest I picked synthesis the first time, simply because I was in a daze and didn't know what was going on.
Before: 0
After: 5.5 It now passes as an ending. A lot of concerns have been disarmed but  few have been fixed.
I chose Control. I am currently satisfied because I gave up on the entire ME universe and Control brings me personal satisfaction.

1) What Choice did you pick your first time through  Destroy

2) On a scale of 1-10 rate the pre-EC ending   3 -- I've actually seen worse endings

3) On a Scale of 1-10 rate the post-EC ending  7 -- I'd like one more cutscene showing the reunion or showing Shepard actually being rescued alive with a "Hang on. You're going to be okay." Just so I could say "goodbye".

4) Did you at some point change what was your personal Shepard's "canon" choice, and if so what did you change to and why.  No.

1) Synthesis - I don't know why the hell I picked it up.
2) 2 - at most.
3) 3.5
4) Destroy - dead Reaper is how we win this. Even if that means some sacrifices.

4. I chose synthesis because my EMS decayed from 76% to 50% and I wasn't sure if I'd get the Shep lives ending or not again. So I decided to just check out synthesis to try to understand it better. After arriving at what I believe the writers' intent is for synthesis, I've come to accept that as a good choice for Shep. If I replay though, I'm replaying as a renegade, and control will undoubtedly be my choice.
