Yep, if only because Shepard doesn't acknowledge their relationship at all after her death. It's like he just doesn't give a damn, as if he never really cared and it never happened.

To put it into contrast, his crew and squad seem to be far more upset about Tali's death then Shepard is himself, and he was the one in a relationship with her. Though I haven't done such a playthrough myself, i've seen parts of it on Youtube and witnessing Shepards complete disregard for her made me feel a little sick.

 Killing Legion was the most emotional moment of the game:crying:

Man there were quite a few for me, I'd say Legion and Anderson affected me the most. Edi too, although in my head-canon she survived regardless.

Anderson, on the other hand, felt truly tragic to me. He was basically my Shepard's father, watching him go after saying he's proud of her was sad as hell.


Prepare your tear-ducts. (Apparently this dialogue was cut? Not sure why, pacing, maybe?)

Years of constant fighting demons do that to people I assume. 
He also doesn't mourn over the dead of a romanced Ashley or Miranda, right? Did Shepard for Thane?

Kinda odd BW failed here that badly.

I'd have to say... the trilogy. Yep, the death of the Mass Effect Trilogy. Oh, you mean character deaths ? I'd say Legion.

I had to pause the game and cry when Mordin died. It's unfortunate but I think that out of all the ME3 deaths, his was the most fitting. Even if you save him, it just doesn't feel right. At least he died doing something honourable.

But replaying ME2 and going through his loyalty mission... He's such a conflicted guy and I realised there and then that his conscience would never be free, so to speak. And then when he talks about his getting in touch with his nephew pre-suicide mission and how he would be proud in his posthumous biography vid... Image IPB

RIP Mordin Solus.

As much as I hate ME3, it really did carry a lot of emotional weight - more than any other game I've ever played. That is an achievement in and of itself.

Other deaths were tragic too but felt wholly unnecessary. Legion's was at least bitter-sweet. Tali committing suicide was painful yet totally avoidable - as was Miranda's. Because they are largely arbitrary, it takes away some of the impact I think.

Anderson too. If anyone deserved to settle down and be happy, it was definitely him.

ME3 loves to gut people.

Mordin. Am crafting a Shep who will not cure genophage so i can experience him surviving.

I aslo hear Miranda's death is very sad. However i don't ever plan on letting Miranda die.

^ Anderson - yep, that's right. He should have been with Sanders in the end.

Man, that guy was like Shepard's dad.

Hmm i felt little regarding Anderson's death. Probably because of the ridiculous forced characterisation of the relationship with Shep in ME3 that was completely inconsistent with previous ME1-2 versions of that relationship.

Tali's suidice on Rannoch made me LOL.
Legion's execution was fun.
Shooting Ashley and Udina felt good.
The Child's death felt like Michael Bay did that cutscene.
I loved murdering Mordin.
Killing Wrex at the Citadel was unexpected, but the whole situation felt off.
Shepard's sacrifice bugged me.
I could go on....

So I'm just going to say Anderson's. Because I actually did choke up a little.

At least they cut the content where he talks about how he never had kids. Poor Henry and Jason! (his two sons) Image IPB

Half of me believes BW made Anderson more to a mentor/father-figure since a lot of the fandom saw that in him. That explains the difference between ME1/ME2 and ME3 Anderson. In ME1 and ME2 he was clearly Shepard's superior - in ME3 they feel more like friends or family.

Actually, I like this kind of favorism a lot more than other - mostly 'cause I simply like Anderson. And it feels less forced than other friendships ... well, I like Garrus too B)

mordin for me, although anderson dying was a touching moment (especially having read all the books) the man was supposed to end up with sanders :crying:

I dislike that kind of defined characterisation intensely. Think it is really cheap not to provide the player dialogue options to retain a more professional stance in relation to Anderson that can exist in 1st 2 installments, alongside the option for the mentor stuff.

Wright, you're talking to the right guy.

I don't mind the friendship with Anderson, Garrus or Vega. But, like you do, I mind the lack of options in general. In ME1 and ME2 you could royally screw up with most squadmates by picking the "bad" options. It felt as if you could go down a professional path with Ashley and Liara, if needed - or take the romantic route, for instance.

In ME2, it was pretty much the same: keep it professional (works perfectly with Miranda!) or allow a romance. Only Liara felt a bit forced as a friend, since the game made her acting friendly, regardless of how you treated her in ME1.

And in ME3? Well ... autodialogues and less choices than before ...

Does Grunt, when he went over the edge and I thought he was dead, count?

Because I was like, "oh...no...":crying:

Anderson's unavoidable death was a punch in the stomach.

But Shepard's death? That one suckered punched me. I wasn't expecting it, and after everything that was sacrificed by our friends, it seemed like the ultimate insult. Their deaths, and Shepard's, meant nothing with the endings as they currently stand (even in the EC). No-win scenarios are sickening in games where they get you emotionally attached.

The same thing happens with Miranda too.

Hell, even if she's alive. In fact, Liara is the only one who even acknolwedges Miranda's relationship with Shepard. Drunk Tali talks about Miranda using past-tense verbs, like she's dead.

Breaking up with Miranda.

Technically not a death, but I died a little inside when I did it.

Mordin's death.. though I didn't cried. More that sadness i felt proud of him
Anderson too, He was practically Shepard's father. I was like "WAKE UP YOU BASTARD!!!"... but he didn't :(

I don't take Tali's death into account because she never dies in any of my playthroughs , neither Wrex
