Thane death on the hospital bed while he made me recite some religious stuff to save my own soul that was also a very touching moment.

agreed..
that sentence of his son that the prayer was for shep and not for himself was THE moment in the game that made me cry

I loved that the prayer was for my soul. I loved seeing his son by his side at the end. And even now, I want to cry...it was great writing--just enough angst to really make it right.

Shepard jumping into the light.... My god.

That peaceful smile is really, really haunting.

It felt like the right decision so I don't know why it makes me feel so bad.

I didn't think anything could be worse than Grunt's death in ME2 ("Good fight, Shepard. Good fight.") Then Mordin's death in ME3 was just insane. I couldn't believe it...and the fact they had him singing again was a work of perfection. Well done, Bioware!

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet: I managed to wipe out the entire Quarian race, much to my horror. Tali died in my ME2, but I've read that if she'd lived, she would have committed suicide at that point.

Yep.  I managed it as well. Talk about totally bummed....it was definitely the beginning of the end. Up to that point the sacrifices in my story had been needed.  The Quarians' decision and consequences was just useless.  Should have known that more was on it's way.

i even think those lines made Jennifer Hale, Mark Meer or Quinton Flynn cry...
i can really see them there looking at eachother while recording... with the same feelings as we had...

Even though I didn't give a crap about the boy dying at the beginning, I still thought the dream sequences were really well done. The haunting voices of all the characters I got killed...plus the image of the boy and Shepard burning at the end. Awesome.

Yeah the dreams were well done.  Hearing Zaeed, Eve, Jack, Samara, Mordin, Kolyiat, and I forget the others I heard was positively haunting.

See, I had no idea who the voices were or what they were saying when I was in that dream sequence. I guess I had the bass up to high on my headset.

I play with the captions on.

Thane's prayer for Shepard was the the saddest for me. Maybe it means more to you if you happen to be religious, but it was a deep, deep gut punch especially knowing where things were inevitably going.

Having to choose between the Geth and the Quarians. I knew going in with this save that I had no chance with this Shep to broker peace, but watching Legion die by my hand and Tali's was so sad ... his last words and Tali's response ... uff!

The whole of Thessia. Racing frantically to the temple while overwhelmed Asari bravely sacrifice themselves because Commander Bloody Shepard is here and keeps telling them that if we just get what's in your temple, this war will end ... only to have it snatched right out from under our noses. Just having to see and hear those Asari get slaughtered against that hope you gave them while listening to Liara's frantic dialogue ... Yeah, that was a few dark hours afterward.

And now I'm really dragging my heels on going to Earth because I know it's not ending well and I know without hearing them that those good-byes are going to really, really hurt.

You guys remember Jona? when you go to save Admiral Koris, there is a record to Jona from her dad, the Quarian girl which mother died during the time when Rael's project failed (Tali's father) that was also one of the most sad moments in ME2 
video below 6:37


But with the main plot and main characters it was Legion for sure, he was innocent, he helped alot a character you could connect to.
Another one?
Well the fact that I knew the ending and while each mission I progressed I was more sad about how the game is going to end and how we will never see Shepard and his crew surviving that.
Now I am on Earth and it really makes me sad and upset that all this time while playing ME1 and ME2 having over 300 hours played on each, really getting in to this very deeply... it all ends in a bad way.

I wish they had add an ending that would give me what I need, mass relay intact, Normandy and the crew survives, all races survive but mostly Shepard and his RI getting through this. I don't really care about Earth, its about the galaxy with Shepard being a living hero!

I was really sad about charr being dead too. It was all the little details adding up that made this feel like a real war.

Too bad the endings were horrible.

A lot of people have mentioned some of the bigger things, and some small things. I think i'll just point out some small stories. one of the ones i must mention before my own personal problem is the girl in the docking bay, she has on purple overall's and is always at the C-sec desk waiting for her parents, and i am to assume her parents never show up. Just listening to her and the C-sec officer's short conversations every time kind of get too me. Another story that should be mentioned is the story of one of the alliance soldiers trying to get a transfer, her brother apparently joins Cerberus and she would rather fight the reapers so she doesn't have to worry about killing her younger brother. Those are just small stories i thought i should mention, but mostly anything dealing with war touches my heart.
As for my own personal problems, i was sad about not seeing jack more often. I choose jack as the LI and you only see her two or three times in the game. So i was disappointed i did not see her very often, or at the end of the game for a love/sex scene. That made me feel very lonely.

Mordin was SAD. I tear'd up a little. Grunt had me all ready to start crying but he pulled it in the end. Then I got to Legion and I allowed myself to hope he'd make it... Look! He's just in a Geth Prime body now, right? Right? NOPE. GOD DAMN YOU BW!!!!! lol

I didn't even see Thane. I've heard his death is sad but he wasn't in my game... Where do you find Thane? Everyone lived in my ME2 save and was loyal so he should have been there somewheres.

I dont want to wreck it for people that haven't heard it yet, but you need to listen to the Asari PTSD victim's story in the hospital. Its so grim and tragic

I made a stupid, stupid choice regarding that story.  And I knew it would happen, but I was stupid anyway.

What do you mean? I didn't know you could do anything with it. I must have missed something.

- "Creator Zorah...does this unit have a soul?"
"Yes, Legion."

- That prayer wasn't for him, it was for you

Yes, the girl in the docking bay made me really sad too. I got so despressed seeing her trying to hard to be upbeat and brave every time I went past ... and then my game broke so I could no longer load up the dock area without it crashing.

He's in the hospital on Citadel. I didn't notice him until second time I visited Ashley.

I'd have to say the most emotional moment of the entire franchise was.... when the refund guy finally got his refund! His whole 15 credits.... I cried a little...

[DennyHoffmann]

Mass Effect 3 is such a sad and brilliant game. I hate to have to see Mordin, Thane, Legion and so much others killed, but I kept thinking that without their sacrifices the war would be already lost. That thanks to them we got the chances to win.

Then comes the end of the game and ruins everything, that all that Commander Shepard did and the sacrifice of his/her friends were for nothing

Mordin was probably the saddest, then Thane. Charr's poem put a faint smile on my face - he was an awesome character in ME2, even if as a distant supporting character...

Legion was depressing, but I think a part of him lives in all of the geth. That's some consolation. But with both Mordin and Thane I was on a verge of breakdown... Especially the damn singing... And almost with Grunt, but he's too badass to let some rachni stop him from getting a snack.

This didn't make me sad but pissed off.  I guess my anger had me block out the final slaughter.  Mordin and Legion ending got to me but so did many other parts.  Right up there is near the final part when Anderson dies.  Following the light choked me up for some reason.

***WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW***
(Figured most of you have finished the game, but you never know...)

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned more often in this thread—people seem to have more sympathy for Legion than for Tali, but I found her death scene far more heart-wrenching. At that point in the game (especially if you've been playing Paragon), Tali has really come around to Shepard's way of thinking about the Geth and their right to exist. She doesn't want the Geth to be destroyed, and she knows her own people are signing their own death warrant as Legion tries to save his own race by upgrading them. She literally pleads with him to stop—she doesn't attack him. I think what got me about this whole scene is that she's essentially torn, and she knows it's her own people's blind avarice towards the Geth that is getting them killed.

Anyway, after the cinematic of the Geth ships annihilating the Quarian fleet, the scene cuts to a shot of flaming debris falling through Rannoch's sky, and pans out until you see Tali staring up at it. Over the music, you can hear the terrified radio chatter of the fleet's remaining vessels, and Tali's sobs of horror, despair, and disbelief.

That moment was probably the saddest moment in the game for me. Again, it's not so much to do with the visuals, as much as the emotional context of the character. Watching your entire race burning up in the atmosphere of the homeworld they longed so much to return to, and knowing that it was their own fault in the end. Hell...I'd commit suicide after something like that.

The end of Thessia campaign. All this fighting and sacrifices and for nothing.

Yeah, it only took him 5 years. Good example for fighting for better ending. 

[Scitenik]

Seeing Thessia fall to the reapers was sad.

The death of the Krogan poet was sad.

Thane's death was hard to take and very sad, as was Mordin's, as well as Legion's sacrifice. The videos on YouTube that show what happens if you shoot Mordin and Wrex or where Tali kills herself are so sad that I could never do them in any playthrough.

But I think the thing that caught me off-guard was the bit that I missed while playing the game, which is the revelation of what happened to Joker's family and the Asari that survives it. Reading about that was a downer man. But a well written downer.

I'm still dumbfounded as to how a team that gave us all the aformentioned moments ALSO gave us those last 5 minutes....I Just. Don't. Get It. 

Another gut-wrenching moment for me was at the end, when Shepard has closed her eyes, and then Hackett comes over the radio to tell her nothing's happening.  You've never heard her sound so weak, the way she staggers...I just wanted to wrap her in a blanket and give her some cocoa and tell her she didn't have to do anything else! 

......and then we went up the elevator, and it was all down hill from there.
