Pointless scene. I don't know the kid, i don't give 2 crappers about what happens to him. Garrus and Mordin dieing on my first run of ME2? Now THAT was sad.

Haha, I loved this game!
And yeah, poor kid. I like the moral choices in this game. It was fun to see what would happen when you make the decissions. Most of the time it wasn't what you expected, which is realistic in a way. Sometimes it's hard to read people if you just met them.
Was going to make a joke here, but you're kind of right. When I was younger, I lived in my father's hometown (more like a village compound). The bloke that lived closest to us (some weird Howsa man living in Igboland) beat his son to death (on "accident") for giving him a pail of water left-handed. I didn't see it myself, but the fallout...it weren't pretty.GnusmasTHX wrote...

I believe you. My dad was in Imo (and then Abuja) when the riots were first starting. Usually you don't see many kids in the political districts, but he told people were literally being trampled during the retaliation to the bombings. Many were trying to pull the children out of the streets, but others simply just didn't give a sh*t.
Honestly? You kind of get used to it. It's hardly normal (people are, on average, a lot warmer and more friendly than they are in the West), but when things go bad, they go bad in force. One of my earlier memories (I think I was eight at the time) is a group of armed area boys raiding my father's compound. I don't know if it's because I was possessed of that conviction of immortality young people tend to have or if it was too surreal, but I wasn't even scared (I distinctly remember being annoyed because I was hungry at the time, in fact). In the end, my father shamed them into leaving by quoting scriptures at them.My condolences for your family for having to witness that.

Knowing me, I'll probably laugh instead, I know I laughed when the little girl in MW3 got blown up.
"Look, mommy! BIRRRRDS!!!"
*BOOM*
Then I laughed.

I'm not sure how nameless hordes of people dying to reaper attacks would be any more tasteful by that reasoning however.
It's all about how it's build up and little to do with taste, really.
For example, imagine throughout the game or a web series we see some newsreporter on Earth's attempts at trying to stay alive. We gaze her and the camera-man freaking out, recording everything and thinking the Council is going to come in and save them immediately and they don't know it's universal because they've been cut off.
We see their struggles, we see them teaming up with other survivors and trying to kill the Husks. We eventually see the camera man dragged away and somebody else takes up the mantle, the newsreporter deludes herself by saying that she'll be rich with this footage by the time it's over (though she eventually comes to realize that's not going to happen).
We see them struggling, we see them mourning others and eventually becomes a mini-documentary of these people trying to survive. At the end, one of the people you saw they recruited turns out to be indoctrinated and was responsible for the husks chasing them all along and the group gets captured by the Reapers.
Final shot is the camera-man as a husk grabbing the newsreporter, her screams and the feed ending. A companion or something comes up and asks how you feel about it, which gives you the ability to be pissed off or other such things.
I mean, really? It's basically REC with the serial number filed off.
EDIT: This is why you never take writing advice from the fans. Ever.

The kid was supposed to be a symbol of all the innocent people who were dying. They met briefly and he says "you can't save me." just like all the people who are getting slaughtered by the Reapers. Shepard can't save them all.
It doesn't matter that he didn't know the kid, it's about what he represented. With the music, the whole scene was very moving.
It is just a goddamn child! How could the kid say that, when the typical adult cries and says "SAVE ME SHEPARD"!

Yeah, I had to remember to activate the specific part of the link.
I loved the game too, I loved how the down the road consequences could be opposite of the intended delivery. Except the Tiger, I like that one.
