I'll admit the Ultimate Sacrifice ending was just great. I teared up and got the goose bumps, loved Alistair's speech.



It was so awesome. Plus I loved even the just text epilogue stuff like Sten answer to "Did you ever meet anyone worthy in fereldan" or something like that and Sten answers "only one."



Or Leliana's epilogue made me soo sad for her. When she comes out of her room all teary eyed and says she's had a vision from the maker and she'll see her love again soon. Then she vanished. Man I'm a bit teary just thinking about that one.



I demand to know whose idea that was. ^. Because they made me cry. (Which doesn't happen to me a lot, especially playing a video game. Except for Aries dying, scars for life at 12 years old.)

I just loved the process of Sten becoming a fully confident warrior after considering death as the only way out ("death will be my attonement", in Lothering). In the very end he charges to victory without hesitation, without a single shadow of failure. I also loved his half-smile when he gets his sword back.

Sten is perhaps my fave companion since he´s absolutely "alien" compared to the rest. When he starts calling you "kadan" (which I assume is translated as "comrade" in the pure sense of "fellow soldier"), you know that you will really win.

 Ahh man, I can't wait. I have a game going now with Sten.....I have a feeling that it is about to get interesting.

I admit to crying a bit at the end of the Human Noble origin story. I had to wipe a tear away from my eye. One tear. Probably why I wanted to make Howe suffer so very badly. It wasn't ENOUGH I say! Not enough to just kill him. I wanted to destroy him, and it isn't an option. Bah.



I despised Isolde, but that is literally another thread. Ah, I know! In the scene where she begs you not to kill her baby, I admit to heartache. She might have been a selfish, elitist trophy wife, at that moment she was nothing more than a young mother. The she tried to ORDER me to stop, and the moment was ruined.



Let's think...any others...oh, yes of course. Leliana's song. It was really melancholy. Good stuff.



The ultimate sacrifice was satisfying, but it wasn't an Old Yeller moment for me.

  Leliana's song was pure awesome, I really liked what she had to say during the game, but I didn't much care for her voice acting.

[HarlequinDream]

This may be odd, but I was also very emotionally caught up in Morrigan's plea for the Dark Ritual. Her facial expression and the voice acting and I'm sure part of it was how... calm but firm she is, and hearing Morrigan use the words "my friend" was almost jarring.

[AtreiyaN7]

Yes, the game made me rather weepy the first time through, especially Alistair sacrificing himself (and I officially will always, now and forever, go through with that ritual to neeeever see that ending again). The Lady of the Forest's death still gets to me, and well, the human noble origin...gah, so sad. *sniffle*

[kurairmorgan]

Ok, I've worked my way through a few endings already and I have to say that Sten comment gets me all misty eyed and on my very first run through I was hell bent on getting through the game that first time and I was all set for my sacrifice and all of a sudden Alistair decides he's taking the final blow and that finale kiss right before it all ends got me and then no mention of him after that which kind of ticked me off a bit.

[chiliztri]

When Alistair broke up with my Mage after I made him King. Bastard...



That was the only time I really cried. I swear I couldn't stop for a good 10 minutes, then it started up again when it happened a second time.



But hey, I'm a girl. I'm allowed to cry.

[asaiasai]

I think we can make this game a man law. You know man laws, such fine ones as; when toasting it is propper to touch the bottle bottoms together because to touch tops is like kissing.



It is ok to cry during Brian's Song, so we will petition Bud Light to add this game to the section of man law where it is ok to tear up and still be considered a man.

First off to the original poster....awwwwww. *hugs*



This game has made me tear up so many times, it's not funny. In my current playthrough where I am romancing Zev not Alistair (yes I am one of "those" that is totally in love with Alistair... this was very very hard for me.) Anyways, when I suggest Anora marries Alistair it tore me up inside and I started to cry... even though this character is not suppose to be in love with him. *sigh*

[Ab_Normal]

Not yet done with my first playthrough, but I am (or was) romancing Alistair, and I got all teary when I arranged his wedding with Anora... dang it, I worked hard to get him out of his iron pants, and here I am setting him up with another woman!

[Uilleand]

Oh lordamighty....I knew I was in trouble as I peered over my friend's shoulder as she finished up the human noble origin. she got teary, then *I* got teary...and that was bad enough.....

But I was seriously in full weeping RAGE mode when Alistair stole my g'dam suicide!! Hubs was walking past the computer room as I shouted and a railed and made up brand-new curse words at that cutscene...

[Null]

I just about lost it when Bryce from the human noble origin showed up at the Gauntlet. I shed manly tears.

[Sable Phoenix]

I didn't outright cry. The only game to do that to me was Planescape:Torment. But I choked up multiple times during Dragon Age. Especially near the end; trying to convince Alistair to marry Anora, then him breaking up with me, then having it be all for naught when Anora stabbed us in the back in front of the entire Landsmeet. And the most emotionally wrenching part to me was the farewells of the companions, knowing I was planning to take the deathblow on the Archdemon, then marching towards the gates amidst the cheering Redcliffe army. It was such a curiously intense mix of sadness and elation that I very nearly broke into tears.
Only BioWare games, or games with BioWare involvement (Planescape:Torment) have ever elicited such intense emotions. The plot twist in KOTOR left me breathless and infuriated the first time through, but Dragon Age covers the entire gamut of emotions through the entire time you are playing, from incensed rage, to laughter, to love and joy, to horror, to wrenching loss. I really believe it is the best writing of any game since PS:T.

This game really does bring out a lot of emotions. As you said, Sable, I was nearly heartbroken when my Mabari whined and I told him to be good, knowing that I was going to take the death blow. Also, when it came time for Loghain's punishment, what he said to Anora seriously made me hesitate. When I first rejected Morrigan and saw her leave, my heart kind of twisted up, and when Alistair made the sacrifice (after he and my character had romanced each other), I almost cried. I really did cry though when my character made the ultimate sacrifice, and she and Leiliana never got to, er, romance properly. Just looking at the character I put so much effort into lying on a stone slab made me cry a little.

Again, as you say, Sable, only Bioware.

[Taritu]

Can't say i cried on anything, but I got a bit moist at the end of the noble one, when talking to the Shianni at the end of the city elf origin, and at the end of the game when I self sacrificed and Leiliana was my love, and it sounded like she might be, er, committing suicide. Made me feel really bad for not taking Morrigan's deal or making Alistair take the hit. (I really wish there was a flip a coin option, because really, that's what I would do in the situation. Head's I do the kill, tails you do. I can't bring myself to force Alistair to die, but fair's fair, it should be an even choice between us.)

And yeah, I like Sten, a lot. But then Dak'kon was my favorite character in Torment. I like the honorable alien warrior types.

I felt bad about Loghain after his speech to Anora too.  I would have let him live, but Alistair, well, you know.  I made him do his own dirty work though.

Never cried, though I still get the chills at the final battle...watching the armies that you gathered head off to Denerim, having your companions say their goodbyes to you if you leave them at the gate, running through the cheering Redcliffe army, Alistair/Anora making their speech before reaching the gates, yelling "FOR THE GREY WARDENS!"



Very awesome. I played through the last battle so many times, and it still gives me goosebumps.

[LemuresXL]

I don't think I remember any parts being very sad. Eh.

This may be odd, but I was also very emotionally caught up in Morrigan's plea for the Dark Ritual. Her facial expression and the voice acting and I'm sure part of it was how... calm but firm she is, and hearing Morrigan use the words "my friend" was almost jarring.

If you´re romancing her it is even better. If she gets pregnat from you or another warden as a friend is just "a way to repay"; when you´re romancing her you can really see (and listen) to little details to confirm that she does not want what she has to do and that the events that led her to her current state make her feel sorrow. In fact, the end itself confirms it.

My female noble was pretty much "...Alistair and I don't have to die? I'm in!" But then listening to Morrigan talk about it, even in a platonic sense, really was touching.

I have a feeling it's going to break my heart when I romance her... And I will be making the dialogue choices of "I will find you." And then setting out to do just that at the epilogue.

[Statulos]

On pure game terms she was a smart girl: with the ring she gave you, she knows where you´re and avoid you.



Buuuuut, if I am correct and Morrigan is to some extent a tribute to Viconia (my fave BG series character along with... Minsc!), or at least she´s inspired by my fave drow; we´ll be able to teach her a couple things about how love does not make you weeker or even make her feel real emotional pain such as we could with Viconia.

[Major Alenko]

I didnt come close to crying over the course of the game, i almost cried at the end with the passages that tell you what happend. I cant remeber which one but it was about Sten, i loved his character, and when you finally get in his good books i really think his the best compaintion

[Ashram Creed]

Definitely at the end of the human noble origin... so much so that I shook a little when given the option to reply to one of Cailan's comment's during our introductions with "What do you know of my pain?"

Strong emotions (though not of the teary variety) when facing Howe. I kept the family sword in my inventory for just such a moment. Always best to slay a man with the sword of the family he destroyed I always say... and of course when dueling (and killing) Loghain. I waited two novels for that opportunity.

The ultimate sacrifice and the ending that followed. Though I will miss all the allies, the wording of Oghren (naming his son after me with tears in his eyes) Sten ("only one") and Leliana (told that she will see her love again)'s epilogues also had me a bit tearful.

Well played bioware. Well played.

[Korva]

I forgot the pre-endgame moments that had me all emotional!

Needless to say, the climax of the human noble origin is high on that list. The writing for the Cousland parents (and Fergus) was so good I fell in love with "my" family, and losing them really twisted my guts although I knew it was bound to happen. Eleanor's decision to stay behind and defend her dying husband, their farewell to their daughter and their obvious love for each other made for a truly massively emotional moment.

The next was the Ostagar battle cutscene. I liked Cailan, I liked Duncan, and seeing Loghain betray them to be butchered by the darkspawn honestly made me yell at the screen in anger.

Then there was the climax of the Nature of the Beast. I convinced Zathrian to break the curse, and the dialog between him and the Lady followed by both their deaths, with the werewolves crowding close to her to touch her one last time ...  really heart-wrenching. Then Leliana's Song in the aftermath made me misty-eyed again. Beautiful.

 Do we need to put this to a vote? How do we make this official?

 Man Law sure would make me feel okay with myself again. I had to go punch random people in the face last night just so I would stop feeling like a little girl.
