Going to go with LoTSB. As Liara was my LI, as soon as the bomb went off I booked it through the tower to make sure she was alright (and took more bullets than I would have otherwise because of running w/o thinking lol).

Both encounters with the Rachni queen in ME1 and 2 really hit me in the affect. If I never talked to it and saw that it was trapped in the hold and could kill it with acid, I probably would have without a second thought. They threatened the galaxy once, and there's not enough krogan to stabilize them again if needed.

But speaking to it made me feel really bad about it being captured by Saren and being misused and misunderstood. It just wanted a chance, it was practically pleading with me that it did not want extinction and was genuinely sorry if other rachni ever acted uncivil. At that point, who am I to say that it doesn't deserve to live? And the way it turns and looks at you with gratitude for freeing it, legitimately brings tears to my eyes. I rarely get that emotional.

The message in ME2 also tugs a chord in my heart too. I'm gonna feel good (man) when the Rachni fight at my side against the Reapers in ME3.

(In no particular order)

-Meeting Wrex on Tuchanka. Seeing Wrex finally get his dream of uniting the Krogan clans. Wrex never gave up on the Krogan, even after hundreds of years working as a freelancer, he still fought to unite them. Wrex is a thousand years old, think about how long ago it was that his father betrayed him. Now, after centuries, Wrex is finally getting a chance to unite the Krogan.

Mordin LM/Nephew - Mordin is my favorite ME2 team member. Mordin arguing with Maelon, seeing the dead female krogan on Tuchanka showed another side to his character, a side that I liked. It shows that Mordin is really a good guy, trying to do the right thing no matter what. However, Mordin still takes responsibility for his actions.

Samara LM - Talking with Diana, Nef's mother. Death happens in the ME universe -- however, seeing a civilian get killed is out of the ordinary. Virmire needed to happen, there was no way everyone was getting out alive. However, Nef's death was just so pointless. I was very glad there was a paragon interrupt to comfort Nef's mother in-game.

LoTSB - Wow. In Vanilla ME2, I had a few 'what the hell' moments with Liara. The major one was right as you meet her, when she's threatening that guy with Benezia's ME1 combat dialogue. That line _really_ pisses me off. Whatever happened to remembering Benezia as she was--not what she became? Liara saw what happens when you go down that road -- and yet she was quick to start trudging down it. However, LoTSB manages to retcon^H^H^H^H^H^H repair her character. After the events of LoTSB, we get to meet the Liara that I know and like. I've been playing Colonist Shepard, so Liara/Shepard have both lost everyone. Shepard's family died on Mindoir, Liara never knew her father, and we killed Benezia on Noveria. Shepard and Liara have lost almost everything -- all of the colonists that died are still fresh in Shepard's mind. However, they have each other.

ME2 has a lot of really good moments like these.

Shooting Jack in the face....

When my Squaddies died after I learned that they were all killable, after beating Insanity with no Squaddie deaths, thus irrelevant in the ME3 plot.

I'd have to go with the scene after the end of LotSB, when you invite Liara on to the Normandy. It's especially effective if you haven't done the suicide mission yet, because if you take certain conversation options, Shepard shows some rare vulnerability, expressing doubts that he or she will be able to actually pull this mission off. As Liara leaves, you see a shot of Shep sitting alone on the bed, quietly saying "Come back soon." Really moving stuff.

Pretty much all of Shep's speeches during Tali's mission are amazing too. I also love the Paragon response to the annoying reporter in ME2, where Shepard recites the names of all the ships lost in the geth attack.

Garrus also has a line if you don't kill Sidonus that I really liked: "It's so much easier to see the world in black and white... Gray? I don't know what to do with gray."  It does a lot to show just how tortured Garrus is feeling.  

And in ME1, the music that plays on the Normandy after you leave Virmire. Man.

Twice:

* Rejecting Jack when she comes to Shepard's cabin to consumate their relationship.

* Keeping things "professional" with Liara near the end of Shadow Broker; that is, rejecting her even as a friend.

I felt like a s**t-heel both times.

having just completed Overlord at the time of writing this I now understand why people hate Cerberus so much. Poor, poor David, no one deserves what happened to him...

First moment in a video game that gave me that sinking feeling in my gut.

Overlord Revelation, and hooking back up with Liara. I played Mass Effect 2 before I purchased ME 1 so I ruined the whole meeting Garrus thing, but it was cool the second time around.

And after finally going into an in depth dialogue with Wrex in ME1 it was pretty cool that he dropped everything when he saw Shepard there waiting for him in ME2.

In Mass Effect 1, one of the best moments is when you meet Vigil on Ilos with Liara and Garrus in the group, just makes the scene work beautifully. The other being when you decide to use the Alliance to save the Destiny Ascension and that triumphant music is playing, very well put together scene.

The background music when you talk to Vigil on Ilos really makes that scene.  And you HAVE to take Liara on that mission to get the most out of it.

Vigil, the last sentry of a dead race.  Vigil used his final moments to communicate the last, most important bit of information, the culmination of a desperate plan set in motion 50,000 years earlier.

Using a mod to kill TIM. Enjoyed every single second when I shot him with the Cain

[Hathur]

 Shepard's death and when she says goodbye to Jeff. I cried like a blubbering child. Then again when we see Jeff place his hand on Shepard's casket. But basically the whole catastrophic mission failure is immensely moving.

To see what I mean, check this   (jump to the 27:50 mark)

God, just watching it even after dozens of times chokes me up... bah.

Now I'm sad.

Comforting Tali when she needed it most.

Erinya who lost both daughters during the Battle of the Citadel and her bondmate during the Geth uprising on Rannoch. She seems like a Xenophobic monster until you actually talk to her.

When the collectors base is destroyed, seeing the Collector General's reaction to be being released from Reaper control. I felt sorry for them after that.

[Akizora]

The ending of Overlord was probably the most touching piece of Mass Effect 2 in the entire game, the music, the voice acting, the tragedy of it all was heartbreaking.

[Schattenkeil]

Tali bursting in tears over her  dead father's body and Miranda introducing herself to Oriana...

The reconciliation moment of Thane and his son. Pretty emotional.
Since my main canon Shepard romanced Liara, the entire experience of Lair of the Shadow Broker was gut-wrenching and powerful, especially the ending.

For me it was the Normandy Crash Site dlc. When you had to get the dog tags, and it shows small snippets of the crew, when reading Presleys Data Log, well pretty much most of it. The first time I went there, I actually started to tear up really badly. Now I get a horrible lump in my throat just thinking about it. It really did make me miss the original Normandy crew when we didn’t know what we were up against.

Another part for me that was sad, was when I had to choose between Samara and Morinth, I understand that Morinth wanted to kill me, but the fact that you have to help Samara (If you choose her) to kill her own daughter. Still gets to me.

And then Mordin on Tuchanka, when you find the dead krogan female, and he says that ‘prayer’. That whole part was very touching.

LOTSB is gut-wrenching and emotionally powerful regardless of whether Liara is your love interest. There is a reason everyone loves it so much.

So many. The end of Overlord. The conversation with Erinya. Mordin talking to his nephew. Garrus not shooting Sidonis. All the romances. Meeting Wrex again. The quarian mother who died on the Alarei. The batarian plague victim thanking you if you stick around at the end of Mordin's RM. Talking to Liara. Consoling the grieving mother in Samara's LM. The dead krogan female in Mordin's LM.

I can name even more.

^This plus:

Seeing the Normandy SR-1 take hit after hit and still limping on with Joker, buying time for the crew to evac. Pressly's death and reading his datapad at the crash site. The Krogan on Tuchanka talking about his son. The Batarian starved to death on Omega. The Blue Suns Turian locked in a room with his dying friend, hearing him saying his dead friend is still there after he's died. Seeing the scene where Tali finds her father dead. Watching the ultimate sacrifice ending to the SM, seeing the coffins.

They have weight.

[Seraphithan]

Not exactly touching, but going renegade on Mouse during Thanes LM is just sooo wrong. It's IMO the only renegade option that feels outright evil. And it is definitivly something I am not going to do again.

It did feel pretty bittersweet until I noticed the Mako; that totally killed the mood. For the rest or the mission, all I could think about was "that thing's still in one piece?!?"

Ending of Overlord, by far. There is a number of pretty good moments in ME2 but nothing else lands in the same ball park.

I agree with a lot of the things listed above, and have one to add.

There's a really touching moment at Wrex's camp, where you hear a male Krogan talking about meeting the children from the female camp,  and how one of them resembles him... he thinks he has a son, and wants to raise it. He is considering asking for rite of parentage, because his time getting to see the children was so short.

It's another great Krogan humanizing moment. and I'm tearing up a bit thinking about it. It's the pair of Krogan standing at a corner near one of the merchants.

Im gonna have to go with LotSB, at the end right after she takes over, you get a paragon option to kiss her.

I thought that was a pretty touching scene.

One that I also like is the paragon route with Conrad Verner. When you tell him you couldnt have done it w/o him. The look on his face and the inflection on his " Really? ". Youd have to think he felt on top of the world after that.



Im gonna add that the entire freaking suicide run start to finish was just simply full of win.  I have never a seen a game ending,  so well developed and written so well.  From the cutscenes to that epic soundtrack , I mean when you all finally make it back to Normandy and Joker is hobbling to the chair , and then him flying you strait out of hell , music blaring , tears of joy my friends.

Hell even if you epic fail , it still a good ending.
