Um, yeah.  God, I cry like a baby at stuff all the time.  It's often the music in films that triggers the emotional response for me, I'm not even sure why.  Sometimes it's nice to be a woman and therefore 'allowed' to cry and have empathy and that.

Dragon Age only got me a little bit at the end, really, when I was saying goodbye to everyone at the gate in Denerim before the final onslaught.  Wynne's line about being 'infinitely proud to call me a friend' really got me for some reason.  And I missed my puppy too.  Good Howl, bring mommy more prezzies!

I've got to second the saying goodbye before venturing deeper into the city.
I had high approval (70-100) for every character, and everyone's responses before we set off was really quite touching.

I have to say DA is just about the most emotional game I've yet played; the goodbyes before the last battle, with even Shale getting a bit sentimental and Oghren pulling himself together and appearing dignified, and then the epilogue when he named his son after me, and Sten, when asked if he'd ever met an honorable human replied "just one"...I almost shed manry tears.

You.. cry in games?

What I'm saying is that this game is so darn well made, and I was so involved and immersed in the story, that it made me cry, just like I might cry at a good bit of music, or a good book, or film.

You.. cry in music, books and film?

Well, not all the time, obviously.  It's like, there's this thing called "emotion" - maybe you've heard of it?  It kind of involves chemical reactions in the body that trigger reactions, include tearduct gland reactions (the thing we're calling "crying" - I'm guessing you know what it is because you've seen people doing it, or maybe done it yourself occasionally), in response to certain combinations of concept as they are entertained by the mind.  Usually it happens in response to real life things, but there are these things called "stories", which are sort of designed to simulate the kinds of situations in real life that sometimes trigger this "emotion" reaction thing.  I don't know how I could explain it to you other than maybe you could try getting immersed into one of these "story" things and see what happens?  Just a thought!

You are not alone, you can add me to the list of 'people who cried over a video game'. Well, crying doesn't always mean tears flowing all over my face, but there were some moments in the game, in which my eyes were just full of tears and I got choked up quite a bit.



The goodbye speeches in Denerim were among the most dramatic moments in the game for me. That really made me sad, like I was just about to loose my good fellows, who accompanied me through all this. The dramatic background music during that scene did quite a good job to underline the emotionality of that moment for sure. Leliana's song was about the second most emotional moment, which actually made me cry a little bit, just by the beauty of that sad, sad melody. I was not prepared for this.



The ending after the coronation also gave me a terrible feeling and made me sob here and there, when the party members say their goodbyes and go seperate ways from that point on. In general, the whole ending made me really depressive in some way. Usually, I feel good when I have finished a computer game and enjoy its ending, but not here in Dragon Age, I can't exactly explain why. On one side, the ending was good, but on the other side, it just made me feel even worse, because it suddenly was all over and it has this 'once and for all' touch.



Dragon Age is by far one of the most emotional games I've ever played in my life, no kidding. It never stops to amaze me, how far character and personality creation in computer games has already evolved. It is almost a bit scary, how we get pulled into such stories and how fictional toons, which are only made of program code, can manipulate us and wake feelings inside of us. Only a computer game, but still....



I think Bioware can't top this amount of emotions in their future games, but that also was what I thought after finishing Mass Effect.



BTW: I even cried over a book once, when I was younger and only once, but I did. So yes, you can cry over books too.
