The Paragon ending of Overlord.  Shepard has once again proven that he'll go the extra mile to save innocent lives from such atrocities.

Hearing that the Rachni were freaking saving people. That, to me, was an amazing little revelation and was pretty touching. It helped calm the nagging itch in the back of my head, reminding me why I didn't use the acid vats.

Shepard: You okay?
Samara: What do you think I will say? What can I say? I just killed the smartest and bravest of my daughters. There are no words. I will try another time.

Breaks my heart every. single. time. Sure, hugging tali is rainbows and love, but Samara's code completely prevents her from even expressing any emotion. You can sense her heart breaking but she's so damn strong she refuses to express it. That, to me, is powerful and so sad.

Hehe i have this dialog burt into my brain because i usually use that part of the game to exploit the paragon reward over and over until it's full or at needed level.

After a while i get the rythm and skip most of it so it sounds more like

Shepard, are you ready to... I have no word... Come back when you ready to... Shepard, are you ready to...  I have no word... Come back when you ready to... Shepard, are you ready to...  I have no word... Come back when you ready to...

After a while i can get a schizophrenic buzz out of it.

I always feel a little sad for the Collector general when Harbinger abandons him. It's not the most touching, but I do think it's worth metioning.

"Shepard, my friend!"

Because I was still smarting over "You've betrayed everything the Alliance stands for... you betrayed me." - probably not accurate, but you know the speech I mean.

It was good to see Wrex. And have him greet me as a friend.

Yeah, that part was great... if it wasn't for Shepard's awkward handshake, I would have cheered.

I don't think its so much about the friendly welcome as it was about the all the gesturing Shepard over despite clan business, completely disregarding Gatatog.  Plus vigil's theme.  Vigil's theme always puts a tear in my eye...

The end of Overlord. Very well written and very emotional.

[Inutaisho7996]

When Legion says "What did we do wrong?" after learning the Heretics are spying on the rest of the geth, I just want to give him a big hug; he looks so sad.

Pretty much all of LOTSB.
After I met with Liara on Illium for the first time I was badly disappointed and cursed Bioware for things that have probably been discussed to death already so I won't mention it. Then LotSB comes out and I must say if things were planned to happen like this from the beginning was pretty genius. First the assassination attempt making you worry, the the explosions making you really worry. Then finally the dialogue, the talk about what changed her like this, emotions, jokes, a vehicle chase, the ship of the broker, the way inside, the discovery what the broker really was and finally the aftermath. Shepard actually has real feelings, Liara gets back to her old or better a believable self... good stuff
I don't know how others experienced this but the way they played with our emotions here was a great example of what I love about Bioware. Everything felt just right.

The reason I went into such detail is that I think everything in ME2 should have been packed with stuff like this. For the most part I felt like ME1 never really happened/mattered while I played ME2. The parts of ME2 relevant to the story set up in ME1 could probably be condensed into a 10 min quest. Protheans = Collectors, Reapers try to make new Reaper out of Human DNA stuff and... THAT'S IT!

Seing the other characters from ME1 was nice too ofc but they didn't really do anything connected to ME1 events either. Garus was doing random Merc stuff on Omega, whoever survived Virmire had a horrible and short sequence on Horizon with 0 content and Tali... was trying to help the Flotilla which at least made sense and felt like what she'd be doing. Oh and Wrex had his cameo as well of course but it was really damn short as well. Seing how often it has been mentioned should be prove of how much potential went to waste here.

Looking back now this has "PS3 users need to have a good experience as well" written all over it but let's not get into that. The point is that too much has been sacrificed to accomodate newcomers to the series regardless on which platform or for what reason.








In short:
80% of the posts in here are about events linked to ME1. Please consider this while making ME3 Bioware.

For me its right at the end after you've lost squad mates and Shepard stands infront of a line of coffins.

The look on shepard's face when he's watching them, chokes me up each time.

[X-ist]

THAT GETH! That half a Geth on Haestrom that crawls towards you with a pleading look in its one emotionally monotonous eye that says "help me"... I had a very long moment of silence when it slumped, and it made me wonder where is the love?
I also concur that the mother's death on the Alarei was very touching... made me hate the quarians and geth for having such a foolish war!
The part when Mordin talks to Maelon on Tuchanka was really good too. "We tried to play god and we failed."... shivers.

I had a romance with Liara in ME1 so the scene and paragon interrupt after the final fight of LOTSB was the most personnel for with the game i played

[crimzontearz]

the Tali romance was my best moment

until of course LOTSB came out...then it was the reunion with Liara....and the kiss....and the blue children

[Orcvader]

Many touching moments...
Some of the ones that jump to mind:
-Miranda's loyalty mission as Paragon and future LI (cheating on LIara from ME1)
-First meeting with LIara... I almost cry because my Shep was like: "Why are you so cold with me!?"
-Archangel
-Wrex meeting... very touching
-Miranda sticking it to TIM when I decide to blow up Reaper base
-Jack's loyalty mission...
-Tali's loyalty mission
-Kasumi's recruitment

And my #1 probably:
-Crippled Joker, trying to Save the Normandy.

Haven't paged through thread, did anyone else find Thane's LM mission a little touching. Not the most, but it did kind of tug a chord in my heart to see him face his son like that, and with his son crying at the moment too.

[Zogster]

There was a string of them for me, all related to my Paragon Male Shep's love life. First was the harsh breakup with Ashley (ME1 love interest), which left me more than a bit upset. Actually got some Renegade points from dodging the subject with Joker. That sent him looking for a new love interest... Which seemed to be Samara. If the whole Loyalty Mission and her reaction to it wasn't heartwrenching enough, it lead, seemingly inevitably to Samara's denial. It was really well portrayed; hints in her voice and dialouge that she wanted to give in, but her code and her past kept her away. In the end, she says "In another life," and leaves it at that.

Which sent me to Jack. Slowly breaking down the wall of hostility, Jack's own emotional barriers crumbling in her loyalty mission. I brought Miranda along with us just to show her what Cerberus was really like, and I think in the end she was as shocked as Shepard. After that I pursued a romance with her, which lead to what I feel is the most emotionally moving scene in the game.

The silence, the music, Jack stumbling with her words and finally breaking down and crying. And all I could think of seeing them embrace in the end was: "She just looks so small and fragile."

Dito. I forgot about that.

Another good scene towards the end is the cutscene shown if Shepard dies. The music that plays makes the scene all the more heartwrenching.

[Gentleman Moogle]

I don't know if you could call it 'touching' or not, but if you bring Legion along on Tali's LM, as soon as he steps out of the airlock he winds up with five or six rifles pointed right at him. The look on his 'face' when he realized this was absolutely awesome; sort of a cross between a whimper and an 'oh, sh*t' look.

Aside from that; the ones that have already been mentioned. Wrex's greeting, the Quarian mother....

Dunno if this has been mentioned, but the entire Quarian scene on Tali's LM, from start to finish; if you take the time to talk to the admirals and the other people, you get a real sense of a race that is truly longing for a world to call their own. Pretty touching, for me.

[fainmaca]

Most touching moment? ParaJackmance. No more need be said about that.

But for shock value, the best point for me has to be before the final confrontation of the LOTSB mission, when one of your team gets referred to, I was that caught off guard the first time that I spilled my drink. For me, I'd brought Jack (that Shep's LI) along, so the threat felt particularly menacing.

[Icinix]

Miranda's sex scene...

Was definitely the most touching.

ZING!

I was just about to write these exact words when I read them in your post. The music during the Normandy flyby after Joker speaks to TIM is fantastic. It's just a few seconds but the score there alone was worth one more playthrough IMO.

It's true enough, it does feel like the games could be two separate stories easily enough (as you say, this is at least partly deliberate).  I think the strength of the characters that carry over is quite important though, you get a lot more out of encounters with Tali, Garrus and Wrex (and to a lesser extent the others, pre-LOTSB at least) if you played ME1.  In terms of the main story you get everything explained in a simple enough way and not too much of what went before really matters (plus you can make decisions with the comic on the PS3 but they wont mean anything to you without the context and then they wont matter that much in ME2 anyway).  I don't know if that's so bad overall though, the characters are really the main reason I play Mass Effect.  Beating the Reapers is fun but it's the company that makes it a really great experience.

That is quite a good moment.  I almost always elbow the Geth rather than let it go itself, sometimes "just to make sure", sometimes "to put it out of it's misery" and (especially the first time) "arrgh a Geth! It's coming towards me, kill it!".

[zewuok]

For me it was the paragon romance with Jack (including the talks that lead to it) and talking with Samara after her LM.
On less "touching" note, I felt like a total **** twice in the whole game. First when I rejected Jack just before the Omega 4 Relay (but then loaded the savegame quickly) and second during Tali's LM when I decided to give the evidence to the admiralty board. Conversation with Tali after it on the Normandy was painful.
Well, at least I got that two boxes checked, so I won't be doing that ever again.
