Reputation Changes in Mass Effect 3:

-Neutral/General reputation added in Mass Effect 3, replacing situations where in ME2 you would receive both Paragon and Renegade reputation. Collecting neutral rep just increases the amount on your reputation bar though and doesn't affect the paragon/renegade ratio. This was added because people who wanted to play pure paragon or renegade in ME2 were angered by the fact they were getting points in the opposite reputation.

-Charm and Intimidate choices are now available based on combined reputation points, both Paragon and Renegade, and not just points in their corresponding reputation. Apparently the original intent was the charm/intimidate options are supposed to easter egg choices for people who invest purely in one side of the reputation scale, but they decided to change this because players were instead interpreting it as penalising mixed Paragon/Renegade players.
