Several choices throughout the series stood out to me.
-Fate of the Rachni queen.
-Ashley or Kaidan
-Whether or not to sabotage the genophage cure. I spent several minutes debating that one, and ultimately decided not to. The krogan were too valuable an asset for me to go behind their backs like that.
-Quarians Vs. Geth. Another hard choice. I was relieved that I was able to make peace between them.

Salarians or Krogan was a tough one, the first time. But I figured with Wrex and Eve working with eachother, they could keep the Krogan in check.

This was really tough for me, since my first playthrough it was Wreeve in charge. In the end, Eve being alive convinced me to let Mordin do it.

[Ragebourne]

Rachni in ME1, and whether to destroy genophage, only thing that stopped me from doing so was Wrex and Eve really (even though she died)

Do I gather up the game discs and collector's edition swag and guide book and make a dramatic youtube video of me setting them on fire, or do I just toss it all in a box and throw it in the closet?

Beating ME3 even though I knew the ending...

The First ME game it was the Rachni, because at that time I thought that this would effect the game in ME3 (yea I felt like a dum ass when it did not). the VS one was also hard but a lot easer then the Rachni one.... mainly because I wanted to say as manny people as I could so I went and left who ever was guarding the nuke...

The second ME game it was should I destroy/brain wash the geth that sided with saren, again something that I thought would effect the outcome of ME 3 and in a way it kinda did but still was hard to make this call for other reason...

The third ME game I would have to say it was the Salarians or Krogan, with Wrexs and Eve in charge it was not hard at all but with Wreav it was....

[SwiftSlash]

Hardest of the series for me has to be the genophage. When the Salarian (Dalatrass Linron?) approaches Shep, and offers the Salarian assistance if Shep is deceitful, my heart sank. I really wanted the Krogans to be cured. However, I knew I needed the support for the war.

Crazy, the game made me feel that kind of pressure.

Picking between genocide, genetic hegemony, or the snooze button. I know there are situations with no good choices, but when everything is intentionally terrible, I just have to sit there and shake my head.

Here's one that doesn't get much press: Garrus' recruitment mission in ME2. He was the first squaddie I found, which means I had Jacob and Miranda. I flatout did not trust Miranda. Figured she was going to turn on me.

Garrus and I have to split up so I can go close the doors. If I leave Miranda with Garrus, she'll shoot him and claim it was the blood pack or something. If I take Jacob and Miranda with me, Garrus might ACTUALLY be killed by the blood pack. So I left Jacob and took Miranda with me.

I forgot about this one. I ran through the same logic and did the same thing. I was so happy to have a squadmade that wasn't on Cerberus's payroll (and particularly Garrus, who had already earned the slot as my favorite in ME1). The thought of anything happening to him before I got him safely out of there was terrifying. Needless to say, I proceeded to freak the hell out when he took a rocket to the face.

Toughest decisions in the trilogy? Hmm....

ME1 - Whether or not to save the Destiny Ascension. As the first human Spetre, I felt a strong sense of duty to the council. They had taken a chance on me and I didn't want to let them down. But on the other hand, I didn't want to take a chance on having Sovereign succeed. Ended up saving the council. It worked out alright.

ME2 - Rewriting or destroying the geth. I dilly-dallied for as long as I could on that decision. I felt like making it put me on level with the Reapers. Come in and either destroy or control that which opposes me. I ended up rewriting them because Legion's consensus was ever-so-slightly in favor of that. I figured if they were upset with it when they found out, maybe I could make it up to them later, but there would be no chance to repair bridges with the dead.

ME3 - Whether or not to tell Wrex about the Salarian deal. The Krogans could easily be nasty business for all other races after the conflict with the Reapers gets finished, and sooner or later, Wrex is going to kick the bucket. Plus, he's all for the advancement of his species in a big way. I had hoped to talk to Mordin about it privately, but ended up caving the second time Eve asked me what was on my mind. I decided I trusted her, if not Wrex, and hoped for the best. Besides, I didn't want to risk losing Krogan support if/when Wrex found out I had betrayed him... and this was before I knew that if you do, he does find out.

The one in ME3 definitely took the cake, though. I thought most of the other decisions were pretty clear-cut with the way I was playing.

Hardest choice:Geth/Quarian

Easiest choice: To punch the reporter or not to punch the reporter...

[ohnotherancor]

ME 1 - The Rachni Queen and whether or not to save the Council were pretty difficult for me. I actually reloaded several times, flip-flopping between decisions.

ME 2 - Though neither this nor ME 3 had decisions as difficult as ME 1's, Legion's loyalty mission was a highlight for me.

ME 3 - Whether or not to cure the genophage. I was all for it until Wrex started talking about expansion. Then I had to think about it for a bit.

[legion999]

The second Rachni decision suprisingly.

[Grimez7]

choosing between Aralakh company or the rachni

[NCSmitty]

Rewriting or destroying the Geth heretics.

[Heavvy Metall]

Choosing Between the Intoxication theory and the Indoctrination theory.....

Both seem logical.

[Zuka999]

None of the choices involving Wrex were ever hard for me. Who the hell wouldn't save him? And having invested heavily into his character and learned all I could about him, I more than trusted him to lead the Krogan. Plus, Wrex could still be around a very long time. I don't think Krogan actually have a set time they can live for. Okeer was already well known when he was fighting in the Krogan Rebellions, and he seemed no worse for wear. If nothing else, the krogan under Wrex would be built on different principles than in the past. I think that situation will resolve peaceably.

The Virmire Survivor was always a "whatever" kind of choice for me. I actually disliked both characters, but I disliked Ashley more. Good riddance. I told Kaidan to just stay in the hospital. Screw those two.

What really got me was actually whether to immediately go to save the crew from the Collectors or not. I still had some stuff to do, but I didn't want Kelly and Dr. Chakwas to die. In the end, I put it off for my first playthrough. If I had known to plan ahead, that wouldn't have been an issue.

Of the choices that you HAVE to make?

Whether to kill the Rachni Queen. I had Wrex with me, and he makes a very valid point about them. But in the end, I couldn't make myself kill off an entire species. Even in that situation. Didn't realize it wouldn't mean anything later.

Quarians or Geth. At the time, I didn't know it was possible to save both. I literally sat there for ten minutes, spinning the conversation pointer.

My exact response.

[JohnZord]

red, blue or green

...and then finding out it doesn't matter

[kalasaurus]

The Quarians and Geth decision. I didn't want to betray Tali, but I felt sorry for the Geth. I didn't know either that you could make peace between them. Good thing that was an option for me afterwards.

Another hard decision was between rewriting or destroying the heretics.  Both options seemed immoral.  It took me awhile to decide.

grunt or rachnii queen =/ both of them can deal some serious damage. but i chose grunt. mostly because he's a bamf. plus grunts size > rachnii queen's size

reapers never saw it coming.

Oddly enough, though i typically choose squadmates over anything else, I went with the queen on this one. And guess what? Grunt still lives

WHAAAT??? HOW?!?!?! What options did you chose?

It was only a matter of time until someone said this. I was putting money on page 2; guess I was wrong.

He has to have been loyal in ME2.

We're all living the ending of ME3 right now, but hey! Let's take a break.

What was the toughest decision you had to make during the whole adventure, that made you stand up and walk a bit?
Kaidan/Ashley?  Killing Wrex? Quarian/Geth? Or maybe something smaller?

Mass Effect was loved by me because on numerous occasions I just had to take a break and think it over.
What is more important? My friend or the fate of the Galaxy? Is this decision worth the loss?

I, personally, had two: Wrex on Virmire and Geth/Quarian decision (I did not have the option for both to survive).

I play paragon almost exclusively, so a few of the more ambiguous paragon/renegade choices were really hard to make. 

Still, one of the interrupts really stood out in Mass Effect 2. On the Dossier: Archangel mission, when you have the opportunity to weaken the air support. I took the interrupt to see what would happen, and was... pretty damned mortified. I hadn't saved for a while so I had to restart the mission, but I couldn't commit murder.
