It was supposed to be difficult to talk him down? :D - However, the dialogue options might hae mattered: in the first playthrough, with the original ending, I chose a mixture of paragon and renegade answers, got the renegade interrupt and shot him. When playing the EC, I went all paragon, the interrupt was not there (played twice, sure of that), and he did the job himself.
