Its my favourite too. I just love Zaeed such a badass

Honestly it'd be nice if in ME3 he starts a new Merc outfit to fill the hole left after you tear the Blue Suns, Eclipse, and Blood Pack a new **** up and down the Terminus systems.  A nice capstone to his career.  

Zaeed doesn't get enough credit IMHO.

1. Miranda. I already thought she was interesting in a "morally ambiguous superspy" way, but this was what sealed the deal for me. I was playing as a Paragon and got a little (okay, a lot) choked up at the end.

2. Thane. Hearing him tell his son he was the only good thing he ever gave the galaxy.

3. Tali. Didn't have the impact it should have because I'd been spoiled, but finding her father's body was a real tear jerker.

[BigGuy28]

I don't know why, but seeing Miranda cry after talking to her sister got me more than anything else except Tali finding her fathers body.

[Kalak]

Tali and Mordin's missions were probably the best from an emotional level (it was powerful stuff to see just how deeply the genophage affected Mordin on the inside, and Tali's reaction to seeing her father was by far the best voice acting in series history), but I don't know why no one seems to like Jacob's mission. Admittedly, I felt he didn't really tap all that deeply into his emotions when he found out about his daddy's shenanigans, but the sheer horror of said shenanigans was a great touch.....very "Lord-of-the-Flies", with a bit of a Conradian touch, IMO. It was a great example of the darkness within.

And I think this is why it's forgettable. I really think Jacob's scripting team took a 5 week vacation in the middle of produciton. They could of made this as emotional as Tali's father encounter; Jacob was abandoned as a kid, has been hung up on his dad's disapperance for years, and now finds his dad being the exact opposite of what he grew up to believe. He should of ranted and raved, really struggled at executing the man vs. saving his father. Instead he goes "oh well" pulls the trigger and is a-ok with it when we get back on board. There's no remorse or feeling at all before or afterwards.

The one that stood out for me was Mordin's. I thought this was a brilliant portrayal of someone who had been faced with choosing the lesser of two evils and had to live with that chouice. The details were superb, such as how he believed that he had made the right decision but still had sleepless nights over it years later and how he opened the clinic on Omega as a kind of redemption. I'm sure most of us have, at some time, had to do something we didn't feel good about because the alternative was worse. It's an unpleasant and troubling experience. Mordin's story was that on a grand scale. Great character and one of the best pieces of writing I've come across in a video game.

[ResidentNoob]

Mordin's mission, without a doubt(so long as you play Paragon). You really feel for the guy when you come across the female krogan's body; just the way he reacts, with his voice suddenly becoming quiet and ashamed, as he explains his crisis of faith after dropping the modified genophage, the sadness he feels about the female krogan wasting her life like that, with Mordin's theme deeply beating away in the background.



Awesome.



Tali's and Thane's are a close second and third place.

[IccaRa]

Mordin and Thane's are my favorites, but Tali and Legion's were good too (Tali's for the emotional impact, Legion's for the conundrum of the final choice.) I liked all of them, TBH.

[Didgeridoo]

Hmmm... well, I don't know about 'moving,' but the one that got to me the most was the decision at the end of Garrus's mission. Do I let him take the shot? I said I'd help him, and blocking the shot feels like a betrayal! But on the other hand, I don't want him to compromise himself for the sake of revenge. He's my bud, and I don't want him to be mad at me, but I care about his mental health, too! He's a big boy and he can make his own decisions- who do I think I am, after all? His mother? But then again, wasting Sidonis doesn't seem like the best path to peace of mind and he's not really thinking things through right now...



I hesitated for a very long time before making that decision the first time I came across it.



But the most 'moving' one would have to be Mordin's, for me. Poor Mordin, and poor Krogans. Just all around sad times during that mission

[StreetlightEagle]

Samara's and Thane's. Tali's would have been if I didn't hate the character so damn much!

[NICKjnp]

Grunt.... "Here they come! I'm ready! These beasts will know I'm worthy!"

Well, define 'emotionally moving'. I didn't get tears in my eyes from a single one, if that's what you mean. However, a few missions stood out in terms of impact on other emotions...



First, there's Samara's mission. In a way, I had quite a hard time, and still have, listening to the journal of that young girl, Nef, who is killed by Morinth. What she calls herself in the last entry, 'dumb Omega trash' or somethink like that. And than there's Samara's breakdown after killing Morinth. I wish you could've done something for her at that moment, but sadly I was powerless to say or do something that would've helped her.



Mordin's mission deals with ethics and does it quite well. It was interesting to learn more about his philosophy of the end justifying the means. There were some dialogues that made me think about my own ethics, as Mordin rationalized every emotional argument Shepard fired at him.



Garrus' mission stood out for me too. Seeing him beat up Harkin... it was actually the first time I thought: hey, Garrus is a large and strong Turian! I always thought him to be somewhat wimpy in the first game, but now... what a change. And he made it clear he was really hell-bent on getting revenge, which made it all the more difficult for me to stand in his way and sparing Sidonis' life. It turned out all right eventually, but there were moments I just wanted him to take the shot, because I didn't want to 'betray' him too.



Honorable mention for Jacob's mission. Seemed pretty dull at first, but when it became clear what happened on that planet... the email afterwards from a rehabilitating survivor was a great bonus.

[kaimanaMM]

Mordin, Thane, Samara, Miranda and Kasumi.

But I thought all the loyalty missions were excellent and really made us see these characters, share something truly emotional and tie them and Shepard together.

[janeym27]

Tht line in Garrus' mission - "Terminus really changed you, huh Garrus?" "No. But Sidonus...opened my eyes." was almost heartbreaking. That, and the variation of resoltions (do you let him shoot at once, hear Sidonus out and then shoot, or talk him down) I found really interesting - I just wish his post misison dialogue was more varied to deal with it! (Watching Sidonus stand up to accept the bullet as a penance for his crimes, and Garrus close the final chapter of his non-Shep suicide team life, really made me go 'whoa...'. Letting him live is kind of moving as well.



Mordin's entire mission was amazing. He is an insanly well-written character. I just wish Shepard wasn't so mean to him all the way through it.



Jack's is pretty good. The stuff your other team members say when walking around the labs is very effective.

[NYG1991]

Tali, Miranda, and Jack's. Legion's was a tough call but wasn't really emotional.

But I'd say Bioware did a pretty good job of making all the Loyalty Missions emotionally moving.

QFT.

If I had to pick one, and only one, I'd choose Tali's... it's almost a mini space opera all on it's own.
They're all very good, even Samara's; though knowing that she was out for her daughter before-hand kinda spoilt it a bit.

Jacob's was the only one I thought was a little weak. Maybe It's just me, but Jacob's comments were almost like he was stating the obvious, and no real drama at the end of it. Hell, I'd have left his father on the planet to rot, all on his own... a fitting justice of sorts.

[Azint]

Tali and Garrus get this easy because it's about helping old friends in their trouble, and it really shows their faith in you when you do help them out. Garrus is about helping a friend deali with a vendetta that may take on self-destructive levels and indulging him in the murder sates his tendencies for broken justice. Tali's is about alleviating her from her troubles with her own people and showing her compassion when she talks about her father's apparent negligence.

Mordin has this because you are exploring the background of the genophage, questioning the motives, and the dichotemy about how they acted. The highpoint being when you asking Mordin about how necesarry, or really how unnecesarry the genphage was.

Jack's loyalty mission is the one loyatly mission where you really get to understand the character, rather than the trouble they have got themselves caught up in. Going through the Teltin Facility and listening to the logs, how what they reported clashes with Jack's memory of the experience. It really shows how much she has been scarred, she is subconsciencely trying to protect herself by overriding her very memories so she can accept her past.

Legion applies as well because the entire point of his loyatly mission was wether or not you can judge the geth as a people. Applying such factors that they are AI really makes them come off as simply machines, but the way they act and judge themselves displays that they are beyond that. The genocide vs. braiwash arguement was excellently done because of how extreme both options are, but Legion's line saying how you can not judge another race by your own's merits really prove that the geth are now a full-functioning society.

Totally agree. Once of my favourite scenes in the game. If you chose the option to agree with Mordin's choices, Shepard has a great (and really well delivered) line about how much he respects Mordin for owning his choices and the consequences. 

Two and three for me would be Samara and Miranda. I did really love them all though. 

I also disagree that they weren't all connected to the main story. Tali, Legion, Grunt, Mordin I felt all tied into the larger arc for the trilogy. And the other's... character development is plot and part of a good, emotional story. 

[Sursion]

Tali, definitely.

[angrybastards]

Garrus's is definitely first for me. At first it seems like a classic revenge story, but after you talk to Sidonis, it twists your emotions a bit. Tali's is a close second

[Raphael diSanto]

Mordin's, Tali's and Thane's, in that order.

[sergio71785]

Nearly all of them were pretty moving.

My top pick is Tali's, of course. That one is just all kinds of whoa. Especially if she gets exiled (I never did that, but I've seen it on Youtube). 

I also found Mordin's to be pretty moving--the whole Genophage thing is a pretty big dilemma that I can see both sides of the argument to. It was pretty amazing to see Mordin move from being so confident the Genophage was right, to being completely unsure about it; that was great writing right there.
