Some of the best ones for me:

 - Anders's "10 years, 100 years from now, someone like me will love someone like you and there will be no templars to tear them appart". Actually, his whole final romance dialogue is just 

 - Wesley's death and Aveline's reaction - This gets me right from the "you will not have him. they will not have you!", and then her expression when she has to kill Wesley.  And talking to her years later about how the whole incident made her lose faith in the maker and whatnot. It's not as in your face as a lot of the other sad parts of the game, but when you start thinking about it, how Aveline kept it all to herself all those years, and how it changed her as a person, it's so, so tragic.

 - Seamus, Dumar and the qunari. It's so sad how all of them ultimately end up getting killed thanks to Seamus's impossible relationship with that qunari. It's like the DA2 version of Romeo and Juliet, only with more people dying.

 - Also, the scene when Anders has to kill Karl. Anders's face 

 - On a lighter note, another very emotional moment for me was when meeting Carver after he had spent years with the Grey Wardens. It was really amazing seeing how much he had changed/grown.

[Kawamura]

Varric trying to get Anders to respond to their normal bromantic banters... and failing.

Uh. Mama Hawke blaming Hawke for Bethany's death.

Keeper M's "I chose to pay the price for you".

Whatever it was that Orsino said about "they should have drowned us as soon as we were born".

I for one thought that while Leandra was a great character when she was in a good/normal mood, the emotional breakdowns were honestly a tad too melodramatic. 

[Kawamura]

I dunno. I can honestly say if my little brother died on us, it would probably be my fault, whether or not it actually was. I'm kinda used to getting blamed for things as the eldest. Or my mom might blame herself. It's a toss up.

Agreed. That is my favorite moment of the game. Carver was such a pain in the a** before, no matter what Hawke did. So when this scene comes up, it makes it all worthwhile. In addition, if you talk with Carver before the fight with Orsino and you choose the sarcastic answer, his and Hawke’s responses are very cute. And I really missed a “hug”-option.

[Maria Caliban]

The death of the Keeper.

[Magaloo]

-Gamlen blaming Hawke for the death of Leandra. For me it was even more emotional than her death itself.

-Wesley's death but the simple ^and Wesley^ from Aveline when Leandra talks about the death of her child when first arriving in Kirkwall.

-I second the Varric trying to cheer up Anders with ways to kill Meredith and not getting any response from Anders. Heartbraking

-Too easy and no dialogue but just the emotion of seeing the chantry explode and realising I was really that clueless about what was happening in my first playthrough. Enough to make me get up and pace for a while before to take a descision.

-Coming back to Anders after he almost killed that mage girl.

See, that's the nice thing about recognizing "salt peter" and "sometihng named after dragons, so it must be fire". I knew he was gonna blow up something since the completion of Justice. I didn't realize it would be so big, mind you, and so obvious, but I had some time to think.

It was actually a relief when the place blew. Stopped the waiting.

[Shepard Lives]

- Leandra's death.

- Isabela coming back with the Tome.

- "Gamlen's greatest treasure has been found."

[Vhalkyrie]

- Letting Aveline kill Wesley. I actually had tears the first time.
- Taking Carver with me in the Deep Roads because he was throwing a tantrum. Then he gets infected with the taint, and made the decision to take him to the Grey Wardens. Didn't know if he would survive the joining. Having him hate me for years because of it.
- Mothers death. I was simultaneously stricken with grief, and utter repulsion. The saw marks on her neck while she's telling me she loved me was horrific. One of the most grotesque unique moments I've ever encountered in a CRPG.
- Thinking Thrask was a good Templar, then he kidnaps Carver to blackmail me. Grace only got to him first.
- Marethari taking the sacrifice for Merrill out of blind love.
- Slaughtering the clan and thinking how very wrong it felt. Probably one of the reasons I always rival Merrill on subsequent playthroughs. Never forgave her for that moment when I felt like I slaughtered her entire clan on her behalf, and it wasn't what I wanted to do.
- The shock of Anders blowing up the Chantry. I knew he was doing something bad, but I thought he was going to do some noble sacrifice on the mages behalf. Instead, he becomes a terrorist. I romanced him on first playthrough, and I was so stunned I literally walked away from my computer for a minute to decide what to do. In the end, I spared him and ran off with him as fugitives because I was playing a mage. I've executed him on all my other playthroughs.
- Executing Anders.  It wasn't as easy to do as I thought it would be.
- On another playthrough romancing Fenris. Utter bewilderment when he walked out after all the passion when he came to Hawke's house. Spending the rest of Act 2 wondering if he would come back in Act 3.
- A moment of "Don't do it!", afraid that Fenris was going to kill his sister in a rage, despite me trying to talk him down. Relieved when he stood down.
- Fear that Bethany was going to turn into an abomination and side with Orsino against me. My Hawke's greatest fear was Bethany becoming an abomination and having to kill her. After Carver and mother's death, I was fully expecting to be the last Hawke standing.  Relieved when she turned against him and rejoined me.

Sadness: Leandra's death (quite touching)
Anger: When Carver made accusitions about Bethany. (quote: "Oh you little ****!". But we got better)
Fear: Seeing Bethany lying on the ground doing the Qunari invasion. (quote: "Oh no, no, no, no no!)
Joy: Inviting Merrill to move in (an elf in hightown? Ha!)
Excitement: The finale (Bioware finales always give me this nice adrenaline rush, which wears off only hours later)

You don't actually have to kill the clan. Just pick the "I'll take the blame" dialogue option when they confront you and then they let you go. Friendship or rivalry doesn't affect it AFAIK.

Yes, I know.  This happened on my first playthrough, and I was completely stunned when I was looking at all the slaughtered clan - the end of one of the few last free Dalish.  Merrill's sobbing made it even worse.  Arianni hitting my full Champion armored Hawke with her fists twisted my gut - I was like "Stop!  Stop!  I don't want to do this!".  I reloaded to see if it was possible to avoid it.  I've saved the clan every time since.

- Leandra's death. My heart was in my throat throughout that entire quest, and then for some perverse reason I picked the sarcastic option as she was dying in Hawke's arms (maybe a misclick? I don't remember). The line and its delivery was just spot on - not snide or nasty, but heartbroken: "You know me. I always save the day." I.. uh.. managed to get something in my eye at that point.

- Anders nearly killing the girl in Act 2, and the aftermath.

- The Keeper's death, and Anders' line to Merrill while she's sobbing over the body: "That is the noblest thing I have ever seen anyone do. The world is poorer with her out of it... and you still in it." (not an exact quote, I'm sure) Possibly the most shocking and callous thing any of my companions ever said.

- Anders' Questioning Beliefs in Act 3, post-Justice. I'd already figured out that someone was going to kill the Grand Cleric, having done Sebastian's quest (nothing says, "I'm gonna die," like the line, "No one would hurt me - I'm the Grand Cleric!"), but I figured Meredith would snap first. But when I saw what he was saying and doing, and everything leading to that point just clicked into place and I realized it was going to be him.

- Pretty much all of Anders in Act 3, actually. Reading the Codex entry, listening to his grim party banter, the aftermath of the Justice quest, etc., and coming to the realization that, for all that my Hawke had loved and supported and tried to help him, she'd failed to save him from himself. This was actually far more upsetting to me than the Chantry blowing up.

Oh goodness.

Mama Hawke's death. I've played it 4 times now, and each time it gets to me. Snarky!Hawke makes the saddest face when holding her

Anders' "I'm here for you. Whatever you need." when consoling Hawke after mama Hawke's demise.

Fenris' "Promise me you won't die." And the look. The puppy eyes. Gets me every time...

Your sibling dying in the Deep Roads and coming back to Mama Hawke's grief and blame.

When you first venture out into your estate after mama dies. And it's so very, very empty.

Varric and his poor, demented brother.

The first time I executed Anders I was an emotional wreck for a good day. It upset me to the point where I was in horrible, painful tears over it. Shameful, I know...

[Eternally Faithful]

I spoiled myself on the forums, so I knew Anders was going to blow up the Chantry...but actually seeing it...oh god...and Sebastian's heartbroken "NOOOOO!" was really emotional.

Leandra's death. I did NOT see that coming. While I was doing the quest, I was telling myself "It's okay. I can save her. Bioware wouldn't kill off my mother." ...And then she died a pretty horrible death. The whole quest was beautifully written. I was actually in tears while my Hawke was holding Leandra's body in her arms.

On that note, Fenris stopping by to check on my Hawke. It showed that he still cared, even though he dumped her earlier. I found that really sweet. Heck, the whole thing was sweet. Thank you, Gideon Emery.

[jmbrosendo]

-Leandra's death. I usually am more chill and laidback playing videogames, but that played a few chords on my heartstrings.

-Isabela escaping and leaving only a note behind. I literally called her a heartless, worhtless, self serving tart. And the surprise in seeing her come back.

-Bethany, in a moment of crisys, when all hell is broken loose, treating her brother so coldly, and bitterly.

-Fenris giving up and walking away with Danarius, spirit broken. That made me feel like a real rotten bastard. (twas my third playthrough, and caught me by surprise, I expected rage and some suicidal fight)

-Hearing Grace ordering the death of Bethany. It felt like Carver and Leandra all over again.

-The expression of Anders as He dies, as if He is relieved. Creepy.

[Sylvanpyxie]

 - Keeper going down for Merrill got me, it was heart-breaking.

- Giving Fenris over to Danarius on one of my plays. That made my heart bleed, along with the letter you get from him later. I havn't been able to do it since.

- Convincing Fenris not to kill his sister on one of my plays Hawke said something like: "I killed my brother, i know what i'm talking about.". Also Varric stepping in aswell was very tear jerky.

- Killing Anders.. Weither stabbing him in the back or him coming back to defend the Mages when you side with Templars... I only did my Templar runs recently and both deaths made me do a sad. Though letting him go and facing off against him as he defends the Mages is definitly the worse of the two. If you ask me.

- Mother Hawke's death, though i predicted the Necromancy out-come, still got me. Followed up with my Hawke taking Fenris to torture/kill Dupais (Question on Spelling.) It was a nice mix of heart-breaking and wrath-enducing.

- Last one was when i first saw Cullen. My first Origins play was a Mage and flustered, stammering Cullen was so cute. I did a tiny little fan-girl squee and my heart went "WHEE IT'S CULLEN!" when he turned up on my screen again. That said - Greg Ellis. *Shrugs*

I didn't know you would face off against him.  I'll have to try this, at least once.

A letter saying that he managed to successfully erase Fenris's memory again. It really is just awful .

[Asdara]

- Stopping Fenris from killing his sister by telling him I know what it feels like to kill your own sister That got me hard, and made Bethany's death in the Deep Roads fresh - because it was done... well I was emotional about it, but it was like "we are sort of done... can't you hold out a few days?" but... obviously... and it's tragic.

[Anariel Theirin]

When Merrill's fellow Dalish elf runs away from her in the caves, and then she finds him dead. (I forget his name.) The emotion in her voice as she cried brought tears to my own eyes.

Marethari sacrificing her own life for Merrill--that whole scene. It was such a screwed up situation, and it broke my heart that Merrill couldn't see until the last minute how much Marethari really did love her.

Merrill's reaction to it all back at her house, and the smashing of the mirror. I was *so* proud of her, though sad that it took such extreme measures for her to see the light.

The entirety of "All That Remains." The moment you hear about her receiving the lilies, and then following the blood, and finding the clues, leading up to seeing her sitting in that chair--I felt so anxious and afraid even though I didn't feel attached to her character previous to this moment.

Varric when he finds his brother in a psychotic state at the mansion. You could see he really cared about him despite all their rivalry, and I was so touched that he still wanted to help him even after the bastard essentially left him for dead.

Every scene with the Arishok. I loved that guy. He was so intimidating, and I respected him even if I don't agree with his views. Every scene with him left me feeling a little anxious and exhilarated.

The Viscount holding his son's dead body. It was obvious he cared about his son a great deal even if he couldn't bring himself to see his point of view.

[Apathy1989]

- Your mother dying was very emotional for me, even though Hawk was terribly acted for it. Stone cold, no crying, not enough emotion for such a tragedy.

- Merithari dying and then killing the clan.

- Anders blowing up the chantry. I wanted to kill him, but needed his healing.

- Isabela returning was a great moment

[Avissel]

The whole scene with Merithari was great. Merrill's VA did a great job of getting the emotions into the voice.

Oh god, that line!  I could've stabbed him for that line, and he was my LI!
