She is shot by Cerberus if Shepard doesn't tell her to change her identity. 

Beginning of the video shows how she can die another way

Spoiler

And poor Mordin........ Your Shepard was bad..... lol

 

Now I have to try this game again one day.

I don't know about everyone else, but I always get emotional at the end of ME1 when Shepard runs up over the rubble and the music lifts. Inside my mind I'm shouting, "Yay!".

I have been curious about this also.

 

I read somewhere that it might have involved dark matter... The theoretical substance that fills in the gaps of the universe...

 

I'm surprised no one has answered this as there are some very knowledgeable people on these forums in regards to the ME games.

If I remember correctly, and if this is what was referenced earlier, the original idea had to do with dark energy through use of biotics having negative effects on the galaxy/universe, the Haestrom mission in ME2 would tie in to this in the third game, and basically the reapers wrecked the organics to stop them from using biotics. 

Gotta wonder why regular use of mass effect technology wouldn't cause the same, and if it did, the Reapers plan kinda sucks:
Sovereign: "You evolve the paths we desire"
Shepard: "So we use mass effect technology because you decided we should"

Sovereign: "Yes"
Shepard: "Even though said technology destroys the galaxy"
Sovereign: "Yes"
Shepard: "Thus making it less likely, if not impossible, for us to develop alternate technologies that don't have this effect"
Sovereign: "...Yes"
Shepard: "Am I right?"
Sovereign: "...Harby this plan sucks"

Or any conversation with Harbinger where it might come up.
Maybe the reapers would realize their mistake at the last second and that was the ending of ME3, one long dialogue where you have to convince Harbinger that he is wrong  :P

Quarian Extinction + Tali Suicide HAS TO BE the saddest moment. People she even apologizes before commiting suicide.

 

You get her entire species killed and she says she is sorry before killing herself.

 

I don't see how anything can beat that.

 

My runner ups would be:

 

 - Killing Falere

 

 - Killing Mordin

 

 - Fall of Thessia

 

Also Shepard calling evac. for his/her romance at the end of ME3. Tali scene is the saddest imo.

Were there any moments playing all 3 games that you really got involved in and felt emotional over?

The ending, and not in a good way.

And because I didn't think of it the first time I posted, delivering the poem Blue Rose Of Ilium to Ereba after finding Charr in the Rachni caves 

 

There's a comic based on it that's really well done, too.

Why yes OP, there certainly was something I found to be quite sad in the Mass Effect Trilogy.   *ahem*

 

E is for the Extended Cut which didn't fix a damn thing.

N o more will I buy into Bioware's lies.

D ead Shepard in every ending makes me a sad panda.

I ntegrity, as in, Bioware had none of it when shielding themselves from the backlash.

N ever again will I buy another Mass Effect game.

G oddamn, all I wanted was to build a house on Rannoch for Tali.

Actually Shepard doesn't die in every ending. He survives the high-ems destroy ending and, arguably, one could say control.

Shep lays seriously injured on the destroyed citadel (in space??) with Normandy and every single ship flying somewhere through the galaxy (not knowing that Shep is "alive") and the mass relays are severely damaged, so to return will take a while. I admit that Shep "survives the high-ems destroy-ending", but s/he won´t survive the next few hours. The breath scene is like the evac scene - you have to switch off your brain to accept it. And so I agree with Chronoid.

This is just fanfiction headcanon. I'd argue that they wouldn't show you the breathing scene at all if he dies five minutes later. The entire point of the scene was to emphasis that Shepard survived. Just because we're not satisfied with the lackluster way they introduce his survival doesn't mean we should throw it out.

 

It clearly and obviously Bioware's intended interpretation that Shepard survives that ending. They even confirmed this themselves on the forums a few years ago. Shepard survives that ending. 

 

Instead of pretending he dies through speculation and headcanon why not just complain that what we got sucked.

The breath scene (outside of the wider thematic issues with the choice of endings and the introduction of the catalyst as presented) is my only real issue now with the endings as they are.
The rest I can just hand wave but that (especially as they didn't improve it with the EC) really annoys me.
I suspect I know why they did it so - a scene showing a clearly living shep in a hospital / back with crewmates would most likely make people choose high ems destroy even more, as it is the characters we value rather than the various benefits of different flavours of space magic.

There was one of their panels, where a guy said, that it could also show Shepard's last breath. If I remember right, there was a little bit of an uproar after it in the forum.

Chris Priestly said it was up for interpretation by the player, on whether Shepard survives or the breath scene was his last breath. I'm not sure if that was just a cop out or meant to spark 'speculation,' or he was just poking the fanbase with a stick. He always struck me as being slightly trollish at times in his interaction with fans.

 

In any case, Tully Ackland also posted this on the BSN: "You may notice that in the “Shepard lives” ending, the love interest

hesitates to place Shepard’s name on the wall, and instead looks up as though deep in thought. This is meant to suggest that the love interest
is not ready to believe Shepard is dead, and the final scene reveals they are correct. As the Normandy lifts off, there is hope that the love interest and Shepard will again be together."

 

So at best you have Bioware employees giving contradictory statements. 

 

I think there's more weight however behind the argument that the scene was meant to imply that Shepard lives. If Shepard dies why would High EMS Destroy get that extra scene and not low EMS Destroy? In both Shepard would be dying in the rubble, so the extra scene for the same outcome wouldn't make any sense. Also the files associated with those scenes are named something like Shepard_Alive_Male and Shepard_Alive_Female. And then of course with EC you got an additional Memorial scene where the LI (or a stand in) doesn't pin Shepard's name to the Memorial Wall, and then gives a hopeful smile. Like with the breath scene, there would be no reason for a different version of the Memorial scene if Shepard dies in all endings. And finally in the Citadel DLC the romance dialogue with Jack seems to foreshadow Shepard being alive in the rubble following High EMS Destroy.

And this is why video games frustrate me..........."fans"

 

People who take the story in the game so seriously that they get worked up over it and bent out of shape.

What would he say about Miranda and Jack not being there to hold the nameplate?

This is part of the problem with it for me. Why imply it? And why do it with such a half arsed rendered FMV sequence? Why not just use the character model? Spot the odd one out:

I agree that the breath scene was probably a bad idea. I just think that even though it was perhaps poorly executed, it was meant to imply that Shepard survives.
