So, who else cried?

I was emotional at the end of the Dalish and Human Noble origins. Not teary eyed, just emotional. They tugged at my heartstrings.

Now, my second and current playthroughs? Runny eyes and constricted throat at every turn… That may have something to do with the fact that I've been sick for the past two weeks but hey… It still counts…
Seriously though, my first character was very stoic, so while I did feel some strain at certain points (I hate Kitty and how she made me kill that little girl), I was more likely to react in anger than sorrow over any events that transpired. The one exception was when I discovered that one of the spirits I had summoned in the Circle escaped and killed innocents on the road. That one really really hurt, on multiple levels.
My frustration with my second character was directed at him and I for playing as him, instead of at the game itself. He was so manipulative and selfish that I never really felt sad while playing. He just didn't care that much.
My current playthrough is very emotional for me so far, especially when dealing with my family in the Origin story. I was literally grinning from ear to ear gleefully when starting up my third playthrough, fingers shaking in excitement at the prospect of playing a good, smart, friendly, funny and adventurous character. I ran around the castle like a little kid at Christmas and then came the twist. BioWare really drives the experience home, door after door, room after room, agony after agony, culminating with…well, you probably know how it ends. At Ostagar, some days later, Aeniyer and I had time to come to terms with what had happened, and we were tentatively playful and adventurous again, with the highlight of course being our new friend Alistair. Again, however, it was only to be crushed once more by those dastardly Canadians.

I've cried both during the goodbyes at the gate and during the coronation/epilog for every ending I've tried (and I have tried quite a few), even the ones where everyone I care to keep alive is still around. I also cry at various emotionally charged points throughout the game, like the cutscene after the beacon is lit at Ostagar.

- Morrigan and her friendship speeches. Both at gate and camp.
- Ruck's mother. That lady has such a calming tone and even it is for her good, lying about Ruck and see how she crumbles makes me really sad.
- Zevran's convos about friendship/love and his choice of staying with me, with Wardens.
- Human Noble story as many people.
- Death of Ser Otto. He was such a fine guy.

In my ritual ending I completely snapped when Morrigan was saying goodbye. "I will always remember you my love".... had me depressed for days. I just couldn't continue... I closed the game and finished it much later...

The battle at Ostagar didn't make me misty-eyed but it did make me sad and very very angry at the same time -- especially that moment when poor Duncan looks up and sees the signal fire burning.

Ser Otto was one of my favourite NPCs despite his brief appearance! He really embodies all that can be good about the Chantry and the Templars and I'm very glad Bioware implemented such a character. His death didn't make me cry, but I was really shocked and (again) really angry. Afterwards I stood at his body and felt really crappy having to just leave it there. I wish there was a way to carry him out and give him a proper funeral.

/Edit. Morrigan's friendship speech was pretty emotional too.

I didn't actually cry, but I was furious and yelled at Alistair over the dumping thing and then the "the best thing I can do as king" crap. That was my first playthrough and I had no idea it was coming. I started over the second I finished wondering how to get Sten his cake.
That is probably the most vivid memory I have from the first playthrough. City elf. Assembly hall in front of all the nobility. My elf has just proclaimed Alistair king, and trusting 100% love and a promise he made earlier in the game, she continued: "And I will rule beside him" (how would Alistair manage without her anyway, eh?) And then he dumps her: "sorry, Ferelden won't accept an elf as queen"
At that time enough spoilers had seeped into my awareness for me to know that there was some suicidal ending. I immediately decided to go that path to take revenge on Alistair and had her answer just: "I think I understand".
In the end I chickened out. When Morrigan came with her creepy offer, I decided I wanted to play this character again, in a future game. Kaillan is firstmost a survivor, after all. And suicide as revenge on Alistair semed a silly thing in the end, too silly for her character.

It is possible to save the girl and kill Kitty...

Have to admit, this game didn't even come close to touching me that deeply, even though other games have. Couple reasons for that, I think, the main one being that I never really identified all that strongly with my character (any of them). The background was written by someone else, the choices were written by someone else, and to a very large extent, despite being more open than some other Bioware games, even my path through the game was determined by someone else.
Between the epic cutscenes and the overarching plot line that literally never let go, it really was like watching someone else's character being directed through a script even if I was the one pushing the buttons, so to speak, and while I could appreciate on an artistic level the drama that many of the above-mentioned scenes provided, for me their impact was remote.
That said, the scene that managed to touch me the most was Niall's reminiscence after I beat down the Sloth Demon in the Fade. Still not a tear-jerker, but it might have been had the game been more personal by nature, less scripted, with less High Draaaaama.

I especially liked what Sten says about my PC -- I can't remember the exact words, but it was good to know my PC had such an impact on such a stoic character.
Sten says that he hopes he wont see you again, since the next time he'll be in this part of the world it will be as part of an invasion.
Unless I'm totally off my rocker (which is a possibility!), I believe he has another line -- at least if you take the sacrifice ending (and perhaps if you had his approval high enough). Something along the lines of being asked if he ever met anyone worthy in Fereldan, and him replying "only one."
The actual wording in the game is, of course, much better than my half-remembered version.
Sten, all your companions really, have different lines and endings depending on how you played the game. You're not crazy, this is one of those endings. If you live, he also may invite you to go home with him.

- Zevran's dialogue regarding his final mission, particularly his "I felt empty. I felt as if I was nothing. I felt as if she had been nothing' line. It works a lot better with his voice.
- Oghren's farewell speach at Denerim's gates when you have him at max approval. I think it's different depending on whether he's friendly or just warm.
- Morrigan's dialogue if you talk to her during the final level and pick the 'I just wanted to thank you. For everything.' option. That and her accepting you as her only friend. Morrigan's dialogue can be very emotional when being her friend (never romanced her - yet).
- Swiftrunner and the Werewolves saying goodbye to the Lady when you break the curse.
That was about it, at least that was all I can remember.
