@AlphaBovine I actually really hate this. The opening of ME2 is one of my favorites in any video game. Scenic, with Miranda and the Illusive Man gazing out at a star, and discussing what Shepard had accomplished. In the original game (on PC and Xbox), Miranda says either of these lines, depending on whether or not you saved the Council in ME1:
"Shepard did everything right, more than we could have hoped for. Saving the Citadel, even saving the Council. Humanity has the trust of the entire galaxy -- and still it's not enough."
"Shepard did everything right, more than we could have hoped for. Saving the Citadel, but leaving the Council to die. Humanity's place in the galaxy is stronger than ever - and still it's not enough."
The LE version of ME2 uses the PS3 version of the intro, acting like it doesn't know whether you saved the Council or not (even though you already imported your save file from ME1). After the first sentence, the Illusive Man interjects "Commander Shepard uncovered the truth", instead of Miranda saying what Shepard actually did. It's an awfully clunky line, jarring, and tarnishes one of my favorite game openings. Meaning ME2LE can never be the definitive version of ME2 with such a glaring change to the opening. Is there any way for BioWare to restore the original opening?

Here's another thread for the same issue.
Full agree that this is top of my list for things I hope they fix, just behind the broken finger-to-ear animation. It'd be a real bummer to start off every ME2 playthrough with this.
