1. It kind of was. With Destroy, the only reason you wind up dead is because you didn't come prepared. With low enough EMS, you end up wiping out all life in the galaxy. Then you're just a failure, not a hero. You did more damage than the Reapers ever could.

2. I'm talking about the ending as it is. The EC is just to elaborate by additing additional scenes. The EC doesn't remove the fact that BioWare lied to us, and made this poorly written garbage, expecting it to pass an acceptable ending to any story, let alone one of the greatest trilogies in gaming.
