Good. I don't want to personally kill Legion, I just want to see what my conscience does if the quarian fleet does it for me.

Quickly remind me, the VI?

The character that replaces Legion if you sold him or lost him on the Collector base.

It does not ask if it has a soul. It expresses no remorse at the prospect of annihilating the Quarian race, and says nothing if you kill it. It just argues that the Geth have a big fleet, and can assist with the Crucible "if the creators are no longer allowed to threaten us."

Basically, through the VI, you're talking to the Consensus - the entity that spent the last 300 years killing any organic to enter Geth space - not the one that spent two years outside the Veil learning the value of organic life.

There were a few times when I thought "Aw, that's sweet." and "How sad." but at only one point did I have tears pouring down my face. When Grunt thanked Shepard for letting him out of the tank. I had to walk away from my computer for a few minutes.

[Jadebaby]

Because of the thread title I'm going to make a comprehensive list to resort to whenever this topic comes up again in the future.

In the demo I had to fight back tears as the Reapers shot down the kid's shuttle.

In the full game I didn't get affected by that scene because I realised how creepy that vent scene was. It's either creepy or the kid is extremely dumb and/or sufferes from emotional detachment.

Other instances through-out the game.

Mordin's death. Really really bad. And even on my 3rd playthrough I still shed a tear or five lol. It's a fantastic scene and def in the top 3 emotionally moving moments of the game. HE had a hero's death.

Grunt's scene. When he said "The shuttle's down that path. I'll hold them off. Get out of here Shepard!" and that music started playing I was like "No... No! He can't die!" and then when he came back covered in Rachni blood and asking for something to eat I was smiling with such joy! And immediately thought "What a Krogan."

Liara's Project. Just everything about it was so moving, it was in that scene i reflected the most on where my Shepard had come from in ME1 to where she was right then. A great scene, the only thing that could have improved it is if they had a little romance dialog in there so she doesn't call you her friend. That was a bit strange.

Character goodbyes. Every.Single.ONE.. Even Javik. In fact. I was very emotionally unstable from the character goodbyes all the way through to Shepard being blasted by Harbinger. Then I went to "Wtf!?" mode to the Anderson death the back to "wtf!?" mode for the starchild scene. The when destroy happened and the ending happened and the breath scene happened. I cried non-stop for longer than at any other point through-out the game.

Then I came back on the BSN after avoiding it for months (due to spoilers) and was glad to see i wasn't alone.

Thinking about it now, Mass Effect 3 is very emotionally draining. I was going to do another full playthrough for Omega. But I don't think i will now....

Actually Shepard was supposed to cry during the game. 

FemShep was supposed to "cry" during Thane's death scene, but we all know how that turned out.

Here's a bit from the leaked script.

Thane:The moment will be soon. [Coughing fit.] I shouldn't have run. You did not even need me.
Shepard: You fought for something noble, Thane. As last moments go, it's not a bad one.
Thane:No... there is one I would prefer.[Thane memory flashback.] Fist slams the table. Shame at my cowardice, my fear. Atonement means nothing.Her hand touches mine. Her lips part and I tremble. "Thane, be alive with me tonight."
[His body relaxes. Shepard wipes her eyes. Maybe we see a tear, maybe we don't. The music tells us all we need to know.]
Shepard: Goodbye, Thane. Meet you across the sea.

Oh, right. Explains why I've never heard of or seen it then. It sounds like a dick.

Thanks for the info.

None. For me, video games have pretty short life spans and not enough depth/development for me to empathise that deeply. The one that came closest was TLJ (adventure game). Through the protaganist's thoughts and journals, I journey with her through her trials. But as she survived the first game, there wasn't any need to cry. The devs made a mistake with the sequel but at least, the writer did not neglect the original protaganist and her char has developed and took a path I never thought she would. However, the sequel ended in a cliffhanger and her fate remains unknown.

ME had potential but it flopped somewhat along the way and failed in the final stretch.

 Personally, the scene with Shepard and Anderson on the Citadel after opening the station's arms had me pretty choked up. I probably would've started crying were it not for the horrendous scenes that followed. This would've actually been the first time that I've cried because of a video game, and about the fourth time that I would've cried at any sort of fictional story.

 What I'd like to know is whether or not anyone else has been at the point of crying at any point in the Mass Effect series, or any video game for that matter.

They shortened that scene with Anderson too. It originally had more dialogue.

[Gruntburner]

Only three points:

Mordin's death
Grunt's Survival
Prayer for Thane

I have about 5 playthroughs done and on every single one, I cry at these points. And I am not in the least bit ashamed.

[Jadebaby]

OH and thane's death. Very moving.

Legion's was just another wtf moment to me. I thought he was software so was like "cya later buddy" only on my second playthrough after reading through the BSN did I get a bit upset. i just don't think it was done very welll imo.

[Asharad Hett]

I didn't cry, but the most heart broken was when I killed Wrex in ME3, and when Tali committed suicide.

[DoomsdayDevice]

This makes me cry every time:

Kalahira, mistress of inscrutable depths, I ask forgiveness.
Kalahira, whose waves wear down stone and sand—
Kalahira, wash the sins from this one and set her on a distant shore of the infinite spirit.
Kalahira, this one’s heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and contention.
Guide this one to where the traveller never tires,
The lover never leaves,
The hungry never starve.
Guide this one, Kalahira, and she will be a companion to you as she was to me.

That geth prime that walks up afterwards is really him, he just wanted to be born a new person.

By the way, in case not many people have seen it, I think the worst is Legion's death when you choose the Quarians over the Geth but you were Paragon to Legion in ME2.  You're still forced to shoot him, but he has that line where he says "Does this unit have a soul?" and Tali says yes and then he dies...I hate shooting him....

I'm literally just about to go do this mission now, destroying the geth just to see what happens.
Now I'm really not looking forward to it.

You don't "have" to shoot Legion. Ignore the renegade interrupts and the scene plays out the same way.

I've never shot Legion, and from what I've seen, the scene works best if you don't shoot him. The VI though? Shoot the bastard as many times as the game allows.

Heh..oh yeah.  The shooting is all Renegade interrupts, I forgot.  Sorry, I'm use to either going full Paragon or full Renegade so I always think of the interrupts as necessary.  I've never chosen the Quarians over the Geth and not shot him before.  I'll have to do that next time.

Yeah, I've never gone pure paragon or renegade - never saw a point to it. I have three roleplaying playthroughs - FailShep sold Legion, Canon lost him in the Collector base. Both shot the Geth VI. The third one made peace.

@GT Zazzerka
Any time. There are some noteworthy dialogue differences with the VI. Take Legion into the Consensus, and he acknowledges that the Quarians who protected the Geth were initially the majority of the populace, but they were eventually outnumbered. The VI chooses to conceal this information.

As best I can tell (and EDI theorizes about this), the Geth projected their own consensus-based thought process onto their creators, failing to see them as individuals. The moment the majority, the "creator consensus" shifted, they treated EVERYONE as a threat, and the wholesale slaughter of the Quarian race began - less than 1% of the initial Quarian population ultimately survived it.

I'm... proud... of you.

The moment I put the disk in my system I thought to myself "this game is going to make me cry, i know it...."

But that never happened. I got pretty emotional during the Krogan cure, and Thanes death (got damn near close) but never actually shed a tear. Now my girlfriend however, cried several times.

I was ready to go, I was ready to accept Shepards death... Until the platform carried him up to the starchild. My immersion was totally broken at that point. A thousand thoughts were blasting through my head. And when it was over, i was too dumbstruck to have any real emotional feeling about what i saw.

in short, no I never cried in ME3. I came close a few times, but the end really disconnected me.

[Mathias]

The only thing that ever made me emotional to the point of crying was Braveheart.

Don't get me wrong, some parts of Mass Effect tug at my heart strings, but i don't think i've ever come close to crying, save for maybe Mordin's sacrifice.

Kid's death

You serious?

I am completely serious, I didn't bawl but I did heavily tear up

It seemed soooo forced that it had to be a setup to me.  Which is why when indoctrination theory came out it seemed to carry so much weight.

I did choke up at Mordin's sacrifice, among other moments though.  Up until the end, I was telling everyone how the Mass Effect series was the best game ever, and now I'll never recommend it to a soul.  Ironic, eh?

Mordin's death for me, how in the end he got his goal by curing the genophage, but it cost him his life. He was also singing to himself in his usual manner. Then playing vigil while the cure goes out just completely choked me up.

[chris2365]

Mordin made a mistake. It had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong,
If he were real, I would have made him a steak

Seriously, Mordin's death was the only time I got watery eyes in a video game

Oh man. Shepard quoting Tennyson and then repeating her line from the romance scene about going home...

Kaidan's is really sad, too. "I can't lose you again."

Mordin's death got me choked up.

[Marauder_Pilot]

So many moments throughout the series. Never outright bawling, but lots of barely-restrained man tears.

Also, if anybody else wants to be like me and just depress the **** out of themselves for the rest of the evening, handy compilation!

'Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.'
'Anybody...got something to eat?'
Joker going down with the ship. (Technically, this is everybody's death scene, but still.
'Guide this one, Kalahira, and she will be a companion to you as she was to me.'
'You did good. I'm proud of you.'
'I'm sorry.'
'Victory. At any cost.'
'There's no Shepard without Vakarain.'
'By the Justicar's code, there is only one way to save Falere.'

Fortunately, there's plenty of moments where you can shed tears from not-at-all-sad, colossally epic scenes. 'Stand fast. Stand strong. Stand together.'
