For me, one of the most poignant moments is when Shepard and Dr. Chakwas are sharing a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy

Ugh! I hate that scene! Where are you from? I'm British and to me Chakwas just sounds ridiculous. I mean her accent is spot on but the way she talks... maybe it's just bad acting but I really have trouble suspending my disbelief. The guy who plays Zaal'Koris (and others) is much more convincing. Hey ho, horses for courses, etc.

The actress is indeed British (Carolyn Seymour), so maybe it's just a case that you dislike her voice is all.

I'm an American, so naturally I'm an idiot, right? <_<

you are one in a million Sian. Trust me.

Edit: sorry, I just read the anti-American part and was reacting...that was creepy..

There was no anti-American part, either stated or implied. Jeez.

No, not really. I can't recall any scenes in either ME1 or 2 that made me sad.

[Thompson family]

The Normandy getting blown up, although I found out about in in the pre-release publicity instead of the actual game.

While it's not sad, I still get choked up to this day every time the new Normandy is lit up in that hanger and Shep gets a look at her for the first time.

I just thought of a part! On Tali's loyalty mission in ME2 on one of the consoles where the quarian mother is about to die and she says "mommy loves you very much" or something like that... dammit

[Twistedfaith]

After staying true, to blue throughout both 1 and 2, the moment she left my femshep to return to the SB ship; uttering.. "..come back soon, Liara.".. I found that touching, sad in a way.. Then, yet again.. it -is- Jenni'Hale we're talking about, so yes. Thankfully, my little blue cupcake will be back in ME3.

That and finding Tali's father and hearing her break down. Then her saying: "I don't know which is worse, whether he didn't love me or if he did and this was the only way he could show it."

Then my maleShep telling Tali he felt strongly about her but would never endanger her life for anything, even to be her lover.

For what it's worth, I don't think Chakwas' accent is a factor at all. There are plenty of scenes with American actors with American accents in movies and such that I find moving. I don't think a "foreign" accent is any more or less affecting. And these days, it's getting harder and harder to find a truly foreign accent. The media has exposed all of us to such a variety of different dialects and accents that by this point we pretty much take it in stride, I think.

[Aaleel]

Hmm, no tears, but moments I thought were sad.

1) Virmire, the choice itself, and then going back to Normandy and having the sad music playing
2) Mordin's loyalty mission.
3) The Asari on Ilium that has the contracts to test on the Feros colonists, when she talks about losing her children.
4) Vigil on Ilos telling how the Protheans were wiped out.

Those were the first ones that came to mind when I read the question.

Your answer reminds of an old lesson taught by my journalism professor many moons ago...  "Never ask a person a question that can be answered with simply Yes or No."

Even if the question was "Give us a few examples of emtional moments that caused sadness for you in the Mass Effect series, please?", my answer would still pretty much be "None."

That's a statement, not a question (improper useage of question mark)... it solicits only a reponse / reaction in the affirmitive, not the negative. The only appropriate response is to provide an actual example or not to respond at all... to do otherwise breaks the conventions of accepted norms in everday language useage. 

A poorly phrased question however leaves the door open for an answer that is merely an affirmitive or negative... such as was done by the OP.

Plenty, but then again I do tend to get emotionally whisked away in a story.
2. "Mommy loves you very much!" on the Alarei

David from Overlord made me kind of sad but the real time I came close to crying was the alternate death quotes that Diddymos dug up

The fun thing about doing dialogue for people in the future is that ways of speaking change so you don't have to strictly adhere to modern speaking structures

[Fidget6]

 It would help if Shep showed any emotion other than pissed off. "I Remember Me" made me sad. That was about it.

That sure is a lot of fancy talk and words that I don't really understand. And you said in another thread before that you work as a bike courier or something? 

[Rykn]

The end of ME 1. I thought Shepard died and a manly tear ran along my cheek. OK maybe more than one.... and manly really is a subjective term.

Rest of the stuff (Overlord and the ilk) kinda gave me a righteous rage rather than sadness.

I was angry all of Tali's mission. First people experimenting on geth and then everyone using Tali just to continue their war agenda. Idiots all of them. and I really disliked Williams...

Thank you, that is the point. It would be the only way you could possibly phrase it to draw an affirmative response from me, and, even then, I would probably respond in the negative. Seeing as I have no such example to provide.

The only thing that made me shed a tear in ME2 was trying to beat it on insane mode with a Vanguard build.

Yes, I am. Sadly journalism degrees are no longer worth the paper they're printed on... thus I deliver parcels via bicycle to pay the bills. Ironic, no? Spend 4 years studying to get a desk job... end up doing manual labor instead. The universe just downright loves me

The female Krogan corpse and speech that came with it moved me a bit I admit.

Also walking through the ship after the crew was abducted felt empty... That sort of sad feeling quickly turned to terror when I realized the Collectors had left my fish?? Why did they leave my fish?? I know they want to hurt me so what did they do to them. My shepard has been unable to return to his cabin for fear the reaperized fish will take him.
