Most of the epic and emotional scenes for me have already been mentioned in-depth, so I'll just list mine.



- Saving (or not) the Council

- Virmire (speech and gut-wrenching choice)

- Spectre induction



Playing as a Paragon, these moments weren't too emotional, but as a Renegade... the tone was totally different:



- Feros, when your Shepard decides to just execute the asari that was saved. That was a horrid feeling since I would never have chosen to do that, except I was going through with mainly Renegade choices. Renegade Shepard is hardcore and ice cold. Don't think I'd ever want to run into that guy.



- Bring Down the Sky, after you choose to take down the Batarian instead of freeing the hostages. The option to reply to his questions and statements with ONLY bullets instead of words. Renegade Shepard is to Batarians what that Batarian was to the Alliance.

Saren killing himself.

[Lt.Boom]

it gotta be saren killing him self, the confrontation with wrexs and when the alliance comes in to save the council that moment have me the feel like OH YEAH WERE A BUNCH OF BAD ASS HUMAN and just the entire end sequence with the alliance taking down the reaper and captain anderson speech at the end and when shepherd say it not over to me that just seems so cool

[AgentOfAtlas]

- Spectre Induction is a rather proud moment.

- Shepard's speech once he gets the Normandy.

- Everything on Virmire, from the Wrex confrontation to the Salarians, punching Saren in the face, etc.

- Saving or not the council. Not saving them has the "hope dashed" moment from the Asari crew that is just chilling; saving them is a damn epic heroic moment.



I agree that "I Remember Me" was also pretty good. Noveria also had two great moments that left an impact. One was the Rachni queen, which I hesitated as a player until I made my Shepard chose, and the second was when the nice, helpful security guard turns on you.

For me, the most emotional scene in Mass Effect was when you're talking to Vigil and he's explaining how he had to systematically shut down the "non-essential" sleeper pods and the camera is panning out and you get to see the hundreds and hundreds of pods covering the archive walls. Then he goes on to talk about how when he finally got to wake up the most important people, he off-handedly mentions that they weren't enough to start a viable gene pool and it just really slammed into me what it must have felt like to be the very last of your species. To literally be the last man or woman alive. The enormity of it all, the music, and the AI matter-of-fact tone just really had an emotionally engaging effect on me .

[Oilking72]

Yeah, there's a tonne of moments in ME1.  Not all of them are emotional but there are some hard decisions to make there that's for sure.

I'll throw in there with the Vermire mission.  By far my favorite story mission (excluding the ending) with some real WOW moments.

What really does it for me though, and still gives me shivers right up my spine each time I play it through, is when you decide to save the council.  Hearing the alliance say to save the council at all costs and hearing the asari navigator say "thank the goddess!" is so freakin' awesome it's ridiculous.

To a lesser extent, when you sacrifice the council.  That was pretty good too.

[Shoko86]

Everything. I cried from beginning to the end. Such a great game.

[Snazzy McSplendid]

'I Remember Me' - I don't know how that plays out for a renegade character, and I don't want to know.

Also, choosing between Ashley and Kaiden, and the 'they've closed the channel...' line when refusing to save the council. Seems to be the standard examples, really.

Picking Ash/kaiden was pretty sad especially music that plays on normandy afterwards. The speech of Udina if your full renegade and killed the council and choose to have a human leading everything, that speech really sent chills down my spine. Having to kill wrex when i did not have high enough charm/intimidate and did not do his sidequest. The end spacefight and especially letting the council die. I felt it was necessary.

[Agamo45]

For me the entire end sequence starting with Ilos was a thrill ride. You really felt this desperate, time is running out feeling when you're fighting your way up the Citadel Tower. Saren killing himself was another great moment. He realized what he did was wrong and and knew the only way to stop it was to kill himself.

[FFLB]

About the "Saren killing himself" moment, I found that to be anti-climactic. I wasn't expecting to be able to ACTUALLY convince him to back out of a physical confrontation. I was expecting to fight him, so it was somewhat disappointing when he took it upon himself to ensure his own defeat. I do remember being somewhat relieved though, since I didn't have to fight him with my Adept, but I was quite surprised to end up fighting his reanimated corpse though.

[phaseVII]

Being confronted by Ash and Liara and having to choose one was tough.

[RyuKazuha]

There were many great scenes. Speaking to Talitha was very intense and Virmire was emotional all together, To convince Wrex to abandon the cure, hearing the speech of Kirrahe and finally the choice and hearing Ashs voice when she says, she won't regret anything. In the german version, you could actually hear that this one is a lie.



But i think the scene that really got me involved was the Joker delivering the final blow to Sovereign, i just was like "Hell yeah! Right through the heart, Joker you badass! *dance*" an then the part of Sov wraps into the tower and i got: "Oh... ****." Then watched the finale scene and had a wide grin, when Shep appeared within the depris.

[LostHH]

I found the talk with Sovereign on Virmire the most emotional (as long as you mean any emotion and not just crying and ****).
Found it very powerful and intriguing having a machine that's over 50,000 years old deride you and your flesh and bones.

There's a couple of odd ones for me:

- When the whole fleet attacks sovereign. All the ****ing and arguing and politics goes away and everyone fights together against a common enemy.

- Wrex talking about how his race is dying off. The resigned way he talks about it really gets his character across.

 Thats the only renegade decision i never made and never will :innocent:
Another moment for me was saving the Destiny Ascension, Jokers most epic line.

BIG ENDGAME SPOILER:


I think the most emotionally powerful moment comes in the final battle if you use your charm or intimidate skills to persuade Saren to rebel against Sovreign's indoctrination.

He has this terrible realization that he has allowed himself to betray his own ideals, he thanks you for helping him to see what he has become and then he blows his brains out.  For me it was that scene more than anything else that made Saren a truly great character.  You go through most of the game seeking vengance against him and then in the end you have this option to turn away from vengance and give him one last chance to be just and in that moment he ends his own life with one final act of nobility.  If you pick that ending you're denied the simple revenge the end of most games reward you with and left to contemplate how you should really feel about Saren.  You spend dozens of hours hating his guts; but in his final moments all you feel for him is pity 

Its very powerful stuff.  Wrex was my favorite character in Mass Effect; but Saren was definitely the most intriguing.  He's an exceptional villian and I think he's the best written character thats ever appeared in a game.

[OneDrunkMonk]

I'd say either when they think Shepard's dead and then he comes out the rubble (though he did come out of it a little too fast all things considered). Also the Shepard/ Wrex confrontation on Feros. All in all I didn't sense a lot of emotional moments in ME1.

[ODST 3]

Kirahe's speech to his crew was pretty inspiring, especially since he went to his doom afterward because I didn't destroy the geth Flyers. I actually think it's more dramatic when he dies.

[Naughty Bear]

Killing Wrex.

It was so beautifull. The landscape was lovely, the sun was warm and made the place like heaven, the sea slowly coming in and gunfire in the background...so tranquil.

And to top it off i pulled the trigger of my shotgun, i quenched my breathe and i closed my eyes. All peacefull with the wind cooly blowing through my hair like a piece of silk slowly stroking my cheek. And then a nice loud boom with a sound like a watermelon being crushed by a sledgehammer. A smile grew upon my battle hardened face. I pulled the trigger yet again and another noice appeared. It had a cracking and snapping sound with nice deep gurgling noice from the blood slowly seeping down Wrex's scarred weather beaten face. And then. A warm wet patch started growing where my tool is.


That was the most emotional part ever. I felt like i was in a painting. A masterpiece of art with me standing triumphant over a dead beast overshadowed by the beauty of Eden (Describing Eden Prime as the garden of Eden, Eden Prime was known as a very lovely and peacefull world. see what i did?)

Saving the Council. I had the Team America theme blaring in my head at the time.

Talitha (I Remember Me quest) -- easily the most emotional moment in the game for me. You only get this assignment if your background is Colonist. What did this for me was the voice actress for Talitha -- pretty gut-wrenching without overacting. Just genuine sadness & torment. Compare this with Corporal Toombs (in the Deat Scientists quest) -- Toombs' dialogue and voice-acting doesn't compare to Talitha's.

I agree with this one.  I felt bad for her, and it kind of touched me.

I know couldn't make myself be mean to her it just hurted too much every I try attempt to.

Completely agree with this. I remember thinking that it was a bad time to be a Renegade and it didn't feel right when I had more points in intimidate than charm. Came back when I had higher charm points so there were more blue dialogue choices available to use. I totally went out of my way to be nice to this girl.

[Karstedt]

I thought the 'hold the line' speech on Virmire was pretty good.



But emotionally... I still can't kill Wrex without feeling like a douche. The one time I did it just to see what would happen, I hovered over the dialog option for about 30 seconds before mustering up the will to click it. I of course reloaded once it was done so I could continue on with him.
