Whenever Oghren opens his drunken mouth. My two dwarves, carousing the night away in celebration before my noble stumbles away to befoul that weird mage.

Edit: It may not have been the most emotionally pleasant moment, but when the deranged lover from Branka's House spoke about how the women were twisted into Darkspawn while surrounded by all that corruption.  It was certainly the creepiest time in the game.

Probably one most wouldn't think of...first meeting king Cailan at Ostagar. I played a Dalish Elf who was utterly ruthless (Although very reasonable and empathetic) and had a grudge against humans. When he got his first impression of human royalty in that scene I could totally see the wheels turning in his head and see him thinking "These are the people who subjugated us for so long? I should stab this idiot right here." Not for him being an idiot, but because he represents the reason why most people treat the Elves how they do. Humans expect the Elves to be happy, and polite and have all the Human manners when they need them...but forget about the subjugation, slavery, and butchering.

Someone commented in another thread (and please take credit, cause it was an amazing point) that it actually simulates real revenge quite well.  The emptyness still remains, there is no real weight or relief off your shoulders, theres just another dead body.

That is exactly what I thought when my PC killed Howe. One thing about Dragon Age is the fact it makes you face up to real-world emotions and situations. 

For me? I would say the scene where Zathrian kills himself and The Spirit. Beautiful. It felt so right and I felt that in that I could have finished the game and been happy. 

I think all the characters have their touching moments. When Zevran tells you of Riina. Sure, at first I thought, "OH GOD, CARTH SYNDROME!" but then he admits to not having much respect for himself... and that was when he became one of my favourite characters. He never thought he was worth much as a person, and that really got me. I felt compelled to make him my bud and give him a cuddle.

Leliana in general, I think. She seemed kind of dainty and sweet at first, but after a while you begin to peel back her layers and reveal a strong, intelligent woman. I loved having my PC talk to her about shoes. Her most touching scene was when she 

Oghren was also one of my fav- no. Scratch that. I loved all the companions, and even a lot of the NPCs. All of them had their moments. I mean, I hated Isolde at first. After seeing how misled she was, I felt sorry for her. She made the wrong decisions and she refused to take responsibility for those but she loved her son so much. Oghren's speech to you (if you are his friend) before the battle, Morrigan's reaction when you tell her she is your friend... wow. I could go on.

The point where the werewolf dalish wife gives me the scarf and begs my character to put her out of misery and tell her husband she is dead so he is at ease. I wasn't able to loot the poor body. If I had a chance I would have made a tomb for her. That got me badly.

you weren't able to loot her body?  I found that scene kinda touching and sad too, but I was able to loot her body afterwards, lol, actually looted her pelt, felt kinda bad about that..

I wasn't able as in I was not able to bring myself to. I couldn't skin someone who is so ... selfless and soulful. It would be like skinning an elf for my dalish elf. It would have been breaking a sacralage, so I didn't touch the body and honored the soul that left it.

One bit of dialogue really got me hooked on Sten. He mentioned how he couldn't go home and PC said something like 'You can always stay with us'. His thank you was so quiet and sweet.

[Lianaar]

Touching not in a sweet way was a conversation with Morrigan:

Morr: You are smiling for hours now.

PC: Really?

Morr: Yes, eversince you and that fool Alistair shoot glances at each others two hours ago.



That was a nice hint of feeling of how their everydays were.

[Lianaar]

Running into the dwarves too: Orzamar has heard you call, we march for -you- warden.

It is both scary and touching that entire nations are willing to go into their death upon my call. Even if it is for their own interest that they do. Still.. gives me the goosebumps and squeezes my heart.

[Ravenheart of the Wild]

Leliana's singing was definitely a touching moment for me.

[Endurium]

I haven't experienced Leliana's singing yet, so I'm looking forward to that.



For now it's been Wynne after finding Andraste's Ashes, and Wynne after finding her lost apprentice. Wynne's personal conversations are touching to me as well.



I also like how dog comes running to my non-human-noble characters after Ostagar; he looks at my character through the fence as he runs. I love that.

The most touching moment for me was when my dog came to me before the final battle and whined, and I replied "Don't worry, boy. I'll be back soon." For some reason, that was the most moving part in the game for me.

YES! I was really affected by a few scenes, but this one provoked instant crying for me. I got the sad whine when I said it was too dangerous for him to come along. When he then slinked away I was absolutely devastated. I had to load a previous save (going back about 20 mins in the game) and get the happy bark response. I simply could not go forward without leaving him on a happy note. It's amazing too because I stopped using the dog fairly early in the game. But by the end, even when leveling his character up in the camp and seeing his profile pic - I don't know, somehow I got to love the dog and actually feel GUILTY for not bringing him with me in my party. I never expected that the dog would wind up affecting the most of all.

[Alphan_001]

for me it was my chars funeral that really touched me and the close up on leillana at the epilogue

[AtreiyaN7]

Alistair's sacrifice the first time around of course (oh, thank the Maker I was able to save him later on). There's that one bit where he says, "And I love you. Always." It was just too perfect! *squee* Ahem, actually there were quite a few non-Alistair ones (really). Let's see:



-the end of the werewolf storyline - kind of includes Zathrian & the Lady's deaths

-the final scene with all your companions before you storm Fort Drakon; the speeches were moving (*sniffle*)

-Zevran's story about what happened to the woman he loved

-the betrayal at Ostagar/Duncan's death

-suprisingly for me, Loghain comforting Anora before the end...the guy might be a monster/misguided, but darn it, he did love his daughter; I was actually sort of touched by it for all the bad things he did

-ooo, Alistair giving me that rose *sigh*

-okay, I said things other than Alistair - but that speech to rally the troops where he mentions you was nice

-almost everything Wynne says (she's like the mom I wish my mom had actually been)

-Ruck's story/his mom - SAD *sniffles a bit*

-Goldanna being a b-word to Alistair; oh, I felt so sorry for him after that

[Lianaar]

"Today we save Ferelden!"

"Live well. Live -gloriously."

Most touching moment, when i made Morrigan fall in love with me. And we showed our affection by kissing a LOT, and with party members in tow, who kept making comments.. especially Alistair. In the Dwarven tavern in Orzammer, randomly out adventuring, looking for the ashes, at the landsmeet, in front of the werwolves.. etc. Very touching, we showed our love and didn't care who saw, except Wynne kept calling us childish

Okay that was meant at humor, although it was touching the interractions between us two.. But what really touched me was playing human origin. When you had to leave your parents, and seeing your father all bloody.. and your mother saying she has to stay with him, as it's her place as his wife. Very sad moment, it really touched me, very emotional moment i must say.. And i made that bastard Rendon Howe pay!

[Sable Rhapsody]

The moment that got me most thus far was when Shale and Caridin talked at the Anvil of the Void, and Caridin all but got down on his knees and begged my mage and Shale to help him destroy his vile creation. I started tearing up. Poor Caridin, I felt so bad for him. I wanted to find a way to save him or at least give him a good old-fashioned meatbag hug, but no, he swan-dived into the lava.



There was a really touching moment between my mage PC and Greagior too during the Broken Circle quest. They HATED each other during the origin story, and her helping Jowan escape didn't help. But watching them stand against the abominations together and having him pledge templars to her cause was adorable. The way in which Irving says you've done him proud also gave me warm and fuzzy feelings.

Upon killing the archdemon Sophie's sword is stuck in the beast and she struggles to pull it out. Morrigan and Alistair come running and stop just a few steps away. Morrigan keeps staring at Sophie, but Alistair takes a sideward glance at Morrigan, his face is so emotional. Anger, panic, accusation, rage and the question of: You promised! What now???

[Never]

Ohhhh I know!  He looked so scared!

[therewasatime]

The most touching scene for me was the morrigan-leaving-me. Don't know if the reason is that I played the game 7-8 hours every day (thanks to me for taking a week off work) or that she is just an awesome character (propably a little bit of both), but I really became attached to her and did EVERYTHING so she and my character could get a happy ending. So when I realised that won't happen I was really heartbroken.

[Never]

I was even sad when Morrigan left, and she had just slept with my fiance!

[therewasatime]

I barely got over it till today ... just kidding.



Another touching moment was the song of Leliana.

[Pineappletree]

Played the human noble origin yesterday and had wet eyes afterwards... Damn you Bioware!



Or Loghain's last words, directed at his daughter. Gave his character so much depth and I really hated Alistair at that moment for making me execute him...

[Boeresmurf]

the moment u secured the city gate of denerim.. and cleared the whole square from darkspawn.. u talk to riordan and decide to venture alnoe with 3 companions to face the archdemon while the army holds the gate of denerim..



the music

the sound

the hero's walk of fame passing all the soldiers who cheer at u..

the path of redemption ( loghain) and sacrifise (pc) or the road to freedom (archdemon slain) it all comes up in that single moment... and it really just were 50 steps or so untill area transition

[xcess]

Lelianna's song was touching and very nice.



But what got me most is the following: My PC refused romancing Lelianna and went through with Morrigan and at the end he did the ritual with her. She said to him: "Let's make this a night to remember, my love" and blew out the candle.... Is it the first time she called the PC "my love" ? She gave in to her feelings, allowing her emotions to take over and maybe so also love. Overall, the moments my PC talked with Morrigan wher very touching because she was .. changing ... experiencing feelings she never experienced before and being affraid of them... She was never allowed to experience them alongside Flemmeth. Very, very well written.



Her picture at the endgame epilogue made me think of that again, she was looking back over the mountains, maybe thinking of my PC and her feelings for him? She is fleeing for a power she underestimated a lot.. love. And she can't handle it .. yet ...

[Frislid]

Should really bring this thread back again, I want to read more!



Unfortunately for me, the game never got to me as much as I'd hoped, so I didn't really feel anything besides for those two places:



After I completed the Deep Roads, without Shale to mention, as I was planning on helping Branka to discover what that would lead to. Well, afterwards in the camp I went over to Shale and started a conversation, and he asked if I had found Caridin, I lied to him, and then he said something along with "Oh, I'd really hoped that he would reveal something of my past..." in such a sweet way. That got to me kind of.



And the scene before you travel into Denerim in the final battle. When you run through the walls of soldiers, with the epic music and cheering. Got da chills.

[orpheus333]

Sten to Dog: "You are a true warrior and worthy of respect."

I love dogs though and this is just how i think about mine.
