*the first time I heard Anders yell this: I actually accidentally TPKed my party in shock at the emotion in this battle cry.

Oh my god, I've never heard that in the game before, but even just listening to it on youtube made me tear up a little. I love Adam Howden.

The most emotional moment ever in the entire game was when random guard #2 took that spear to the face during the Qunari attack.
It was just... HE WAS SO YOUNG! HE PROBABLY HAD SOME SORT OF FAMILY- Ok, maybe not. *shrugs*

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 


 - 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.

OP sums up everything. Anders can have my mage babies.

I think the most emotional moments for me was:



7. When you have to kill  Bethany in the Deep Roads. The first time I saw Bethany's face in there  I was at a loss for words and then the emotion when she is talking to you about it and asks you to kill her. Then Hawke's simple reply "How can I kill my own sister" and Bethany responds "Because she's asking you to" it tore my heart right out of my chest. It even made me think of my own sister for a moment.
 

Yeah I did this part unspoiled which was why Anders didn't go with me Bethany and Varric were my favorite characters and I LOVED Bethany  I actually still feel affection for those pixels.  She is the best little sister and when my Hawke was never able to protect her well.  Yeah that was the most emotional moment for me.

My favorite battlecry in DA2 is shouting at the tv in battle "Not!  MY!  SISTER! *shieldbash*

I don't like mama Hawke.  Any mother that will blame her other child for the death of another is a bad mom so I was already emotionally disconnected from her when she died so I was just like meh.

the other big one for me was when Fenris sided with the templers against me after all I had done for hiom esp since my Hawke was secretly crushing on him.  I was very relieved he came back to the good side and I didn't have to klill him.

Mom Hawkes ' visit' after Legacy.

[Carmen_Willow]

The first time I played the game and Alistair came through as the Grey Warden. I really did so want to chuck it all and just go with him. It was the most emotional moment for me in the game. I was so homesick for Ferelden at that point, I wanted to cry.

[MelancholyV]

First, Mama Hawke's death. I cry every time but the first one was especially terrible.

Then it's killing Anders after his fireworks show at the Chantry. I had a male warrior in my second playthrough who managed to friendmance him, but still sided with the Templars in the end, so having Anders still on my team was out of the question. I was completely unprepared for the moment nor the amount of tears I shed.

[detector74]

Arishok. Every scene with him was great. He was always so sharp, threatening. I felt frightened, even if I clearly understood his points. And I hate that we had to get rid of him. I would prefer Arishok lives and can have influence on Thedas. If Hawke should loose a fight anytime, it should be with the Arishok. Actually, I like the idea that there is someone, who can not be defeated by Hawke. In detail: Hawke loosing his final fight against Arishok, but Arishok would spare him, because he considers Hawke to be Basalit-An and as a gesture of good will spare Isabel too :-) This bringing them all if not to a friendship state, then at least to respect.

Mom Hawkes ' visit' after Legacy.

Everytime I see Mother I can't help but think "wow they have some impressive bras in Thedas"

I've only ever played the Legacy DLC post her death so I'll have to give it a run while she's still alive

- My first playthrough I did it pretty much 'blind' and I didn't realize you couldn't prevent your siblings death. I tried to reload and save Bethany and then I did a search online to figure it out haha- but I was really upset that I had to lose her and that Mother blamed me perpetually afterward. I was really upset about taking the blame, bc you know what? I didn't create the darkspawn menace or the necessity of evacuating Ferelden kthx.

- Taking Carver into The Deep Roads and having him come down with the Taint :\\. I really love Carver's character and it just sucked, I was looking forward to having him be my bro and tank for the rest of the game .

- Anders having to kill his friend Karl also.

- Anders asking me to distract the Chantry leader (can't remember her name right now gah). I knew he was going to do something regrettable and horrible but but but my Hawke is in love with him.

- Danarius hunting Fenris down that made me so righteous and RAWR mad against slavers in the game.

- Fenris's sister- just what the- I understand why she did what she did but she could have spoken to Fenris about it differently and acheived a much better result from her brother. Either way she and her bro are uber bitter

- Anders giving his pillow and saying good bye's. Come ON

- Seeing Carver again after becoming a warden and also being able to see him for Legacy. Loved seeing him again. Having him join me against Meredith just complete awesomesauce.

When Hawke's mom died in his arms. I pretty much had to go on a total killing spree of ever advisary I could possibly find. No dialogue no niceness just ring it over to kill it mode!

[nightscrawl]

I don't have very strong emotions when playing games. I mainly try to determine what my character would be feeling in any given situation, and as such the various scenes are sort of played out as an emotional other, and not myself.

However, I will say that Duncan's death in DAO was very upsetting to me, even though I hadn't known his character for a very long time. In a way, since I've read The Calling and gotten to know him, the emotional impact is much worse. Added to that is the strong reaction from Alistair.

As far as DA2 goes, the strongest personal emotion I have on a regular basis -- not all the time, but happening with specific scenes, since I've played this several times -- is anger and it usually has to do with Anders. And since the dialogue choices I really want are denied to me, I play out elaborate scenes in my head. I almost find it hard to believe that I romanced him in my first play.

The scenes that got the biggest reaction from me were:
* Merrill's reaction to Pol's death: the acting here was amazing, and I think it's one of the most emotional scenes (from an NPC) in the whole game.
* The chantry exploding: so I suppose I'm dense, but unlike some others I didn't get the reference to salt peter, so it was a total surprise to me. I vividly remember just sitting here with my mouth hanging open, staring at the monitor.

And I really missed a “hug”-option.

Hah! I wanted this same thing several times throughout the game. Whether to show emotional support to family/companion, showing my own need for comfort after mom's death, or just express happiness. Huge are awesome, games need more.

OMG!  He writes you a letter?  Ugh...I can't do it... [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/sad.png[/smilie]

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

I could never bring myself to actually look at the result of this, even if I reloaded the game and changed it. Just the look on Fenris's face in my mind is enough to not want to see the scene at all. On these forums I've read people who mention glee about giving him back, because they hate/can't stand Fenris. Geez... I think killing him at the end, or never recruiting him would be preferable. x_x

I think in DA:O the most emotional moments are optional. Perhaps the biggest comes if you romance Alistair and don't do the DR--either the scene with him at the gate or when he insists on sacrificing himself. Another example is forcing Isolde to kill Connor. As far as things experienced in every playthrough, probably encountering Hespith.

I never was able to emotionally commit to DA2. Maybe reading the letter to Thrask from his daughter.

 There has been only one playthrough where I killed Anders, and it was hard to do. I cried not because the chantry blew up, but because of how much Anders was struggling with Vengence.  In act 3, looking back you can see that he is saying his goodbyes in how own way without really saying goodbye, like trying to give the pillow away to Varric or the party banter where Isabela says say you kill a bunch of innocent people, don't they deserve justice and Anders says yes. When he says yes, he is basiclly saying then that he deserves to die for what he is about to do. He already came to that realization, but for him to actually say it out loud confirmed it.

I hated when Leandra dies. I was furrious when I learned Oricino allowed Quintin to operate in the city. 

[sylvanaerie]

Oddly I choked up at the ending on my latest rogue. It was both a triumph and at the same time a severe letdown knowing Kit's tale was at last over. (I sided mages, killed Rivaled Anders, rescued Bethany from the Circle). I think this was the character I most identified with in over a dozen playthroughs.

Second most emotional moment for me was killing Anders on my EXTREMELY pacifistic and diplomatic mage, Lily. It's the first time I've felt sorry for the dude. He made a lot of bad choices that led to that moment, and she did it as a 'kindness' same as she would have a Tranquil, even got to forgive him before doing it for dragging her and the rest of Thedas into a disastrous war.

When Leandra dies.

When Aveline has to kill Wesley at the beginning. I know you don't get to have him with your group for very long but the expressions of Aveline's pain and Wesley's acceptance and courage in the face of his death really told a wealth of backstory on those two. And, for a templar, Wesley wasn't a total collossal prig (backing down when Aveline asks, and Hawke gets all up in his grill).

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

Man, I agree big time about that. Anders can be sweet, but he can also be so foul-mouthed.

Anyway, for me, probably when Hawke's mother dies. That was too much for me. I cried lol. She reminds me of my mother a bit, so maybe I was seeing my mother in her place. But I think we can all agree that was quite sad.

LOL I actually could have hugged Anders for saying that. I wanted to but none of the dialogue options were strong enough for my liking. Especially after Merril's stupidity forced me to either die or whipe out an entire tribe of elves. I mean really... she was never that dumb in Origins...

Although I have go admit, I was also monumentally ticked at the Keeper for being dumb enough to volunterily become an abomination. What the hell was that supposed to accomplish. Soooo many idiotic moments in DA:2. 

Come to think of it, those moments are probably the most emotional for me. I just wanna reach through my monitor and bang their bloody heads together and tell them all to grow up!

Nothing in DA2 gave me the emotional clout that the final part of DAO did, from the decision over the dark ritual onwards. First run through I rejected Morrigan and fully resolved that I would take the consequences of my decision. I was so proud of Alistair when he gave his moral boosting speech and moved when the soldiers clapped and cheered us on into the city. When Riordan fell my stomach literally lurched even though I suspected it would happen and I felt exactly how my character looked on screen. Every step, every fight was taking me nearer my death, or so I thought. Then when the archdemon fell, Alistair turned to me and said I was his friend, he never wanted to be king and he'd be a rotten king, so let him do this one heroic act as king and for his friend. So against everything I'd previously resolved, because I actually felt bad that he felt that way, I let him go ahead. At that point I was a complete emotional wreck.

By contrast, the nearest I got to that sort of tension was when lookling for Leandra the first time, when I thought whether I could save her or not might really depend on how quickly I got there and I think the female voice acting here does convey that sense of urgency much better than the male. I also got a nasty sense of foreboding when Anders gave away his mother's pillow and a "what the hell, are you crazy?" moment when Fenris suggested my mage should fight the Arishok in single combat but not wishing to disappoint him, I went ahead. When Fenris finally admitted his feelings for my mage was also rather satisfying. I think, though, there is something about Kirkwall and the constant extremism combined with stupidity found among the inhabitants, that sort of deadened my emotional response. It was too much of the same coming at you in rapid succession, rather than the slow burn sort of build up of DAO that allowed me to get emotionally involved. Plus the fact that so often the response I wanted to give just wasn't there.

- 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.

This is a fantastic list, I have to say I agree with every one of these.
