What exactly qualifies as a "messed up moment"?
If the OP means generally weird, illogical, uncomfortable (positive or negative) and out-of-place moments, then a few come to mind.

Plot related:
- shuttle mission to nowhere
- VS on Horizon
- human reaper revelation
- Shepard dies first thing in ME2

"Uncomfortable" moments:
- processing of humans
- vivisected humans/collectors on the DCV
- Seeker swarms on Horizon
- Quarian logs on Tali´s LM
- Burning corpses on Mordin´s RM
- "Dr. Heart"-Story

Facepalm related:
- Quantum entanglement-based communication
- All the stuff about human genetic diversity


And, last, but, by no means, least, the ultimate "no, really?"-moment of all of Mass effect:
Tali, in one of her logs found during her RM, explaining, that "Shepard once used a mining laser to clear some debris on Therum, maybe I can do the same with demolition charges."
... Yes, that´s what mining lasers as well as demolition charges are for. Good plan, Tali. Gold star.

There´s a bunch more, but those are what first came to mind.

1. Overlord. Whenever I think of Overlord, I just want to punch something. You just do NOT do that to people...just...just no. *rage tears*
2. Humans being turned into milkshakes by the Reapers.
3. The genophage.
4. Garrus's missile to the face.
5. In ME, seeing the colonists on the spikes.
6. Akuze, and Toombs.
7. Arrival. We had to kill 300,000 batarians to prevent the Reapers from arriving. I dislike batarians as much as the next person, but sacrificing them sucked.
8. Saren turning into some sort of indoctrinated cyborg thing - hearing him screaming even though he is technically dead still give me the chills.
9. Zaeed surviving a shot to the head. Messed up, but bad ass.
10. The mako falling off a mountain when you're close to your destination.

Leaving the subtitles on while Saren yells at Benezia. Serious moment turned into comedy gold.

Also, the rather undignified noise Wrex makes if you kill him on Virmire. Never doing THAT again.

Mordin talking about sex.

It's more awkward than when YOUR OWN RL PARENTS TALK ABOUT IT.

Ah, you don't get it. I KNOW it's reasonable, I just don't like Shepard's choice of words. I wasn't reffering to the whole Shepard speech, just that specific line and that specific line could be written better, all right?
I know it makes sense what Shepard says, but it sounds lame. And I'm not the only one thinking that. It was mentioned by bunch of people already.


Well ok then, I guess we have to agree to disagree. :) Just out of curiosity, what line would you have liked?

- Burning the krogan on mordin's loyalty mission. That has to be one of the craziest renegade interrupt ever
- Benezia conversation just before the final battle part. The script and Acting was awful. Did not expect this from bioware
- Ending of project overlord. Anyone who chose the renegade ending must be crazy
- Kasumi and Jacob. There I said it. Surprised at first, but then I wish there's a continuation to this on ME3

"You're not even alive, not really... You're just a machine, and machines can be broken."

Oh, how I cringe every single time I hear that line.

So badly written, so, so badly...

2.) Not being able to argue my point as a Paragon more. I didn't like how everyone made Shepard sound like a Lap-Dog for Cerberus but he didn't have a way to retort these accusations. Not to mention when you DID retort and stand up for yourself it gave you random Renegade points; why?...Hell I hate Cerberus but they are the only ones giving a damn (so it seemed); plus they might have shut my ship down or told Miri to kill me or some crap if I out-right bailed from the beginning. Either way I wanted more options in every way to stand up as a Paragon.

When people think that Renegade or Paragon points matter at all to who their Shepard is, it makes me sad.

I'll just mention one for now-

The quarian mother who left a message for her daughter because she knew she was going to be killed by the geth.

I always have to listen to that more than once.

I was playing Kasumi's LM just now and realised belatedly that anyone standing where she was (when she answered the guard's call to Chief Raoke to check if Shep was allowed into Hock's quarters) had a grandstand view into the entrance of the vault. That was a WTF moment for me. Image IPB Image IPB until I realised I was on the wrong track.  Both parties were definitely aware of events that may occur at this party but Kasumi was so sure of Shep eh? Image IPB Image IPB  And yes, I had to  reload and replay that fight against Hock at least 3 times, because apparently some idiot mercenary I threw off failed to die and was standing..somewhere, not in a the arena. That really took a lot of fun off from using biotics.

Anyways, candidly, there's one other  WTF aspect in ME2 and that's the way the romances were written. Especially more so with the combo with non-humans which contradicts snippets regards human and alien DNA, whatever was stated in ME1, etc. It's just a IMO but tis funny, illogical and messy to me.

Minor blips.  graphic glitches. Had one the other day; cutscene of trio looking down on human reaper, finally down and out for the count, truly. Shep was holding an assault rifle. Problem is; that Shep is a soldier and already totting 5 weapons, along with the Mattock. Image IPB That makes it 2 assault rifles snicked to Shep's back! Image IPB

How about convincing Saren to COMMIT SUICIDE THEN GET PARAGON POINTS FOR IT?

What're you trying to say Bioware?! That it's good to convince people to kill themsevles?! Huh?! HUH?!
