My favourite moment in the series was the revelation that the Citadel was built by the Reapers. It was a good plot twist that actually made sense, it wasn't there just so that there'd be a plot twist.
(My second favourite moment was the discovery of the Shifty Looking Cow.)
I hope Bioware focuses on creating a great story, characters and gameplay instead of focusing on creating great moments. In the former case great moments will arise naturally, in the latter case we get silly Michael Bay nonsense like that Kalros scene, which I despise (ME was never big on physics, but that one's just completely absurd).
As for Miranda... I love sexy girls, but Bioware doesn't seem to have any idea whatsoever how to depict sensuality with taste and subtlety. Miranda in ME2 was absolutely ridiculous.
Mmm, when you're writing you are creating those moments, they don't just naturally happen. They are created. They are the passion of a small group of people working towards a common goal. It's easy to forget that every moment is scripted and from the imagination of a specific soul, working in tandem with other passionate people.
You work towards a climax.
...
Now, that being said, in comes the but.
Or more specifically, a however.
...
However. The moments I want to read, are likely not the climax to a plotline in the series. Those moments do arise randomly, and for each and every individual, those moments are. Individual. Specific.
For myself, Kalros was in fact a great moment. Not the greatest, but great. I find it interesting what peoples space-magic threshold is, because it's as individual as each person's "moment". For me I can space-magic that away in a heartbeat, whereas for you it apparently took you out of the context. To each their own and I won't say you're wrong, but of course, neither will I say I am either.
Miranda, well. Sleazy, not attractive to me. But to some of my RL friends? Yeah, they wanted that @ss. I never really got hooked on the romance side of SP at all. Nobody got me interested, the story I wanted didn't really involve romance at all.
What I want to read are those moments that are individualized that I would never consider myself, because I'm not the individual posting.
It's intriguing to me that the citadel revelation was your moment, I like that. When I heard that the Reapers were the creators of the relays to project sentient races along cyclical paths that resonated with me. It definitely made sense. But the citadel, felt like a forgone conclusion after I heard that.
For myself, one of the best moments was when the leviathan swims overhead. To see the progenitors of this incarnation of reapers? That was powerful to me. I knew whatever it said had the potential to change the galaxy forever, even if it didn't. That weight, that gravitas, was a delicacy for my my imagination to dine on.
