Conrad's "death" moved me for a moment.

I think david is suggesting that by sporting a javik banner you support and agree with him.

Though I suspect you already knew that and are intentionally being a smart a--.

I approve.

Correct. Assumptions deserve smart aleck-y-ness.

When you speak of Mordin's death, are you talking about his heroic sacrifice in curing the genophage and setting the stage for another epoch of conflict...

...or are you referring to when he dies, crawling towards the console, bleeding out after Shepard shot him in the back?

The girl talking to the Turian guard in the area with all the refugees.



Andeson's death didn't move me, I was expecting it in the final rush to the beam, a little too straightforward and cliche

Mordin, Thane and Legion however did stick their emotional landings, especially Mordin and Thane.

Couldn't agree more. Those conversations were just heart-breaking.

delivering the final recordings of Charr to his wife and listening to her reaction as well as the poem. Now that was sad, there wasn't any overly dramatic music, dramatic cutscenes or whatever. It was just a farewell poem being delivered to a man's wife. Made me almost cry.

Did any of you share a similar experience?

That was really sad. Especially when you remember getting them together.

On that note.. Right next to where you get them together in 2, there's a Salarian and his Asari adopted daughter having a conversation about a gift for the Asari's mother/Salarian's wife. If you listen to the entire conversation, it's really sad. And kinda sweet. Goes from the typical, "Okay, dad.. you're just being silly." to a somber, "I love you, dad." As he goes from asking about silly gifts to telling her how he's in his last decade of life and wants to get his wife something to remember him by. And the daughter tells him that despite remembering her father, she considers him to really be her dad since he raised her.

Contrived? I suppose it's a matter of opinion.

It's easily among my favorite side-conversations. It shows how the nightmarish scenarios people face in war with the reapers traumatizes as well as mentally and morally obliterates even the most stalwart experienced warrior.

Even an asari trained specifically for war couldn't handle it.

As an aside, I also really liked the one outside purgatory where a salarian finds out his friend sold her car to buy him high end armor. Very touching.

I meant contrived in that it turned out to be Joker's sister. That kind of killed it for me. If they'd just let it be about the horrors of war I think it would've had a better effect, as it stands it just needs the trademark "DUN DUN DUN!" sound effect for how massive a coincidence that was. It could only be more contrived if the banshee she was in love with was also Morinth.

You must be really heavy then, according to Newton's Second Law.

[Boneyaards]

In that small hub center during priority Earth, if you stand near the radio in the makeshift medical center long enough, you can hear a girl attempt to rescue one of her squadmate's life as she is being instructed by a doctor on what to do. Her squadmate eventually dies, and her position is over run so she takes a gun and kills herself. 

I had to go outside and take a breath of fresh air after that. Really dark.

[Rikketik]

It's the voice acting that sells that scene with Charr and Ereba for me. That last "I need to--I should go!" is one of the best delivered lines in the game for me, on par with (and oddly comparable to) the asari girl on Illium that sounds like she's ready to burst out in tears when her salarian stepfather talks about how he will die in a few years and hopes he will be remembered. That was in ME2 and another background conversation that felt more poignant than most of the game's deliberately moving moments.

Funny thing is: I thought that especially Mordin and Thane's deaths were incredibly moving the first time I saw them. Over time, that effect lessened. Whereas I didn't even notice that background conversation on Illium at first, nor did I think that Charr's poem and Ereba's reaction were that impressive the first time around. Yet the more I hear those lines, the more they seem to affect me. The same goes for the nightmare sequences in ME3. They annoyed me at first, but if you think away the kid, then the later nightmares are actually pretty haunting if you take the time to listen to your late squadmates' lines.

[Dude_in_the_Room]

I didn't like Thane at first but on my second playthrough of ME2 he lived and then....

"The prayer was not for him....it was for you"

Yeah...I was like...."well, crap...he's awesome."

[Scowlyface]

first play through it was definately andersons death that moved me the most. I ve always been a sucker for father son moments.

but after my dog died it was a few lines from thanes last scene that moved me the most

"guide this one, and she will be a companion to you as she was for me"

" this will part us for a time..your memory is not like ours...but perhaps you can hold me in it for awhile"

[Suron]

Mordin's death was a bummer..dunno if "moved" is the right word..but it had an impact...Thanes did, I must admit, because of the prayer he has Kolyat (sp?) speak just before he dies and you find out it was meant for Shepard...

Anderson's death....pfffffffff..is the only thing that comes to mind..it was a waste honestly..I loved Anderson..but his death certainly wasn't moving and honestly annoyed me more than the 3 ending choices because there was no reason for it and it served no purpose. Shepards death, like it or not, would serve a purpose..Shepards been fighting to stop the reaper's since the first game..for him/her to go out in the end has meaning, at least, even if BioWare did it in a terrible way. Anderson's death..really had no meaning to it..and as much as I loved his character it just plain falls flat and more "forced" than anything

[TheGreatDayne]

Yup, those background stuff can really give me feels... What really moved me was the PTSD Soldier...
And this possible scenerio of what may have happened...  Such a depressing tale! I... I'm going to cry, now...
Oh, and there is a comic for Charr, as well... Hmm... Found it! D: Oh god!! I freaking love that comic thing!

[Sajuro]

Anderson's death got to me just because of personal history and seeing Shepard trying to keep Anderson talking, but the most emotional one I remember is Tali's loyalty mission in ME2, the message to Jonah from his mother, I nearly bawl when I hear that.

That quest gets me everytime and is the first quest that really made me care about Shepard. 

 The Baria Frontiers Rep (Erinya) on Illium gets me too when she is talking about her bondmate and her two daughters who died on the Citadel. I like how she is so derisive to Shepard but when given the chance to talk about her family she just exudes so much warmth. It's a really nice, small moment.

In ME3 -- I think Rila's death made me the saddest, followed by Grunt's almost death.
I think the "main" death scenes are well done, but for some reason only Legion's really got to me (I liked the throwback to the "soul" question).

I kill Mordin in the Suicide Mission because I like the idea of Padok Wiks curing the genophage more.

I also like Thane dieing in the Suicide Mission as opposed to getting killed by Kai Leng

Anderson's death was very standard so I didn't care much.

Legion Death never made sense to me.

[Spartas Husky]

Well all of them moved me. But also when Grunt nearly died... I was like NBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. But then he asked for a treat, I was so glad . Nearly teared up for that one.

The you meet the kid from Overlord in the Academy... so glad he is going fine after what his bastard brother put him through.

Ashley being in bed with a top and underwear that moved me...in different ways

When I found out the godamn Fan ....conrad is a freacking Phd !!!!!! holder. I mean wtf he is a smart azz guy and he is also a fanatic??... huge shocker.

The choice between letting the refugees stay on the citadel or force them to leave by threatening to blow up their ship with their families onboard... I was hard pressed to side with the citadel offficer girl. Harsh harsh.

Miranda apologizing for being a hypocrite, my intended brain chip and all that. Really moving.

You don't necessarily have to agree with a character to like them as a character.

Time warp forward to ME 3, where you're going to take out the AA guns, and find the Quarian dying.  Jonah's father...

[Linkenski]

I could imagine how you would feel if you've watched enough movies to see through the death scenes in ME3, and they would become either predictable or melodramatic. I didn't feel that though, and i though every death scene was great, with the exception of Justin Bieber and the possible death of Samara, which felt forced.

I thought Thane's death was sad because he was choking and because i remembered what he had gone through in his life before his final moment, but the whole bible, or whatever thing, didn't really get to me. I agree that it was a bit superficial and movie-like, but that's just in my opinion. I'm sure a lot of other people liked that, but i just didn't favor it.

That's very similar to how I felt. Anderson's death got me, but the other three did nothing for me. They just tried way too hard, it was like overkill. I just ended up feeling manipulated and vaguely annoyed. Thane's poem bugged me more than anything. It felt like just another reminder from the game saying, "Shepard's going to die! Shepard's going to die!"

I also agree about the scene with Charr's recording. I ended up tearing up again when I came across it while playing the new DLC. Even a year later, at a point when I feel pretty desensitized by the series. I think for me it has a lot to do with the voice acting and less about what they're saying. The poem didn't get to me as much as the emotion in her voice did.

Yup, too much music and overly dramatic lines kills it for me.

I liked Charr, he's not afraid of being different. Yet, seeing as he did join the Krogan armed forces to fight against the Reapers he's also very much Krogan.

But Charr isn't the only Krogan whith sophistication or ideas, it's just that most Krogans supresses it to seem like tough brutes.. Like Grunt giving EDI cooking advice and telling her she could have used another set of spices possibly because What was her name was alergic to curry... Or perhaps it was just a preference that he had picked up from Gardener the cook and custodian on the SR2 during ME2... The spices he suggested were Human spices after all, maybe Grunt had aquired a taste for it after getting feed by a human during his first few months of being alive..

I can see it now, Grunt requisitioned food for his unit... They they complained that its not proper "KROGAN" food..
Grunt bashes their heads and tells them real Krogans can eat anything! Or are you saying it isn't Fancy enough for you princesses?!?
*The other Krogans then shut up feeling like they just sounded like a bunch of whiney Quarians.*


EDIT: I love that Charr comic myself
