I'd recommend posting about 3 in the forums for 2, as its a bit less spoilery.
Note: The Reputation check's requirements are complex. First, there are factors which seem to be purely pass/fail; missing even one of them flunks the Reputation check:
Shepard must have at least four bars of Reputation.
Tali and Legion must both be present, which requires an imported save from Mass Effect 2. If no save was imported, Tali will have been exiled and will not be able to support Shepard with an Admiral's authority, while Legion will not appear at all.
The mission Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons must be completed.
Additionally, there are other factors which build up Shepard's trustworthiness to both parties; if Shepard has not done enough of them, the Commander will not have the groundswell of goodwill needed to moderate a cease-fire. According to the official Prima Games guide, each factor has a certain "point" value, and at least 5 "points" are necessary for the cease-fire to occur. These factors are:
(+2 points) Destroying the heretic geth in Legion: A House Divided. In shipboard conversation, you can ask Legion about the repercussions of your decision, and it will mention that the absence of the Heretics made the consensus to join the "Old Machines" more difficult to achieve. Geth forces are also considerably weakened without the aid of the Heretics, giving the Migrant Fleet an edge in the battle and reducing the quarians' overall casualties.
(+2 points) Preventing Tali's exile in Tali: Treason without presenting evidence of Admiral Rael'Zorah's experiments on the geth. While it's possible to present the evidence and still be able to broker peace, it adds its own problem in that it makes Tali far less likely to survive the attack on the Collector Base.
(+1 point) Brokering a peace in the Tali/Legion loyalty argument. If the player did not have sufficient Paragon/Renegade points at that time, loyalty of either Tali or Legion would have been lost. In that case -- even if loyalty had been regained later -- this "point" will not count towards the five needed to pass the Reputation check (and broker the ceasefire).
(+1 point) Completing Rannoch: Admiral Koris.
(+1 point) Saving Admiral Koris during Rannoch: Admiral Koris.
That being said, you also have to put aside all prejudice in ME3 as well. No taking sides initially.
Brought Rannoch Peace between Quarians and Geth.
Chose the Max EMS Destroy, so Shepard lived, but the Geth and EDI still died. I was okay with that, and I have hope that this cycle and the Quarians do better with AI this next time around.
The implications for anything tech-related:
Minimum/Low/High EMS Destroy --> EDI gone, Geth (if alive) gone, Shepard gone, Reapers gone
Max EMS Destroy --> EDI gone, Geth (if alive) gone, Shepard survive, Reapers gone
Any EMS Control --> EDI survive, Geth (if alive) survive, Shepard gone but copied into Reaper intelligence, Reapers survive but controlled
Synthesis --> EDI survive in new form, Geth (if alive) survive in new form, Shepard gone but disseminated to galaxy, Reapers survive in new form
The EMS (Destroy, Control) otherwise determines (depending on if you have Extended Cut at least) the state of Earth+London, the state of the Citadel, how fast things are rebuilt and surpassed (Synthesis).
'Geth' could be made again in Destroy, and possibly the same with 'EDI', but they wouldn't be the same ones as before. They'd have to go on the memories that others had of the old them, if anything. The Destroy blast targeted anything that could be determined by its computations to be 'synthetic life', and the lower the EMS, the more collateral damage occurs, while the higher EMS, the more it is able to pinpoint specifically 'Reaper code' (which would include EDI and Geth, but not necessarily Shepard).
Now how Shepard even survived what happened there in any real way ... well, I have my theories and they're crazy mind trip theories so my answer above is just with taking the ending at face-value and nothing more.
What to do mean by the levels of destroy? I only had two choices.
Also, your list seems contradictory. You say EDI gone or the first line and then survive after that.
Honestly, I'm not even talking about indoctrination. And even in the smaller sense that I am, I'm not talking about indoctrination as an ultimate evil. My thoughts are rather more crazy, and include concepts from several Bioware games, and while I always have a lot of doubt in myself about it, I was VERY glad to see that bits in Dragon Age: Inquisition all but proved to me that Bioware thinks of very similar stuff, and so I might be on the right track.
And sorry! That was just a typo. Correcting it now. EDI is gone in all Destroy endings, even if it is only implied in the Original Ending and she is only shown on the Memorial Wall in Extended Cut. She carries on in Control and becomes 'something more' in Synthesis.
Would be cool if they did not make that Geth and EDI be destroyed, so it could leave some future hope for sequel of original ME trilogy. For example, searching the solution of dying suns and Dark Energy which was originally the key of Mass Effect 3 in early scenario right after ME 2 release. And meanwhile there's problem with Krogan's overgrowth or Geth's upgraded mind or both... while all these events social of another galactic (synthesis one) trying to bring "peace" and "democracy" for Milky Way. Yeah, it sounds like whinning, but they really left nothing to make sequel to that trilogy. And that new Mass Effect: Origin... As I know events there will be like "We don't give a f.. ♥♥♥♥ about events on Milky Way and we can make new our own universe with exploration of new cultures, alliance uniform and Mako"
And in Control ending Shepard sacrifices him/her self, damn that. So the next hero can be James Vega or some female Vega and everyone will refer Shepard as it/he/she because Shepard turned into another form of existance.
Synthesis end just leaves nothing left from Mass Effect Universe which I like.
P.S. Sorry for turning that topic in more one topic about ME3's ending.
