Harbinger is fantastic.

"This hurts you"

"You feel this"

A+++++

 

Harbinger is a kinky bastard.

 

“Relinquish your form to us.”

 

“I will show you true power.”

 

“The flesh is a machine.”

Female Shepard flirting with Jacob

Wrex: "Well there was this one time the Turians almost wiped out our entire race. That was fun."
Shepard: "I heard about that. You know, they almost did the same to us."
Wrex: "It's not the same."
Shepard: "It seems pretty much the same to me."

*insert random Kai Leng line here*
Most earth-centric dialogue in ME3 (The entire prologue is also a goldmine for cringe-inducing lines)
The citadel DLC had some cringeworthy scenes as well, specifically Traynor's bathtub scene, the "romance" for James Vega or Tali's singing (Thankfully I only ran into that on youtube^^)

When Shepard is trying to "seduce" Morinth. Shepard's dialogue comes off as so cheesy I laugh and cringe at same time...

Chobot "Romance".

 

Kai: "No, now it's fun."

 

Most of the cringe for me were in the last one, though 2 was heading into trying-hard-to-be-funny territory.

Funny how my mind cut most of it out of my memory.

 

ME2 "There are millions of these pods! They are going to attack Earth!"

Attack a planet with 10 billion population? With this? I'm surrounded by best idiots in the galaxy.

Sounds like something a kid would say in a catastrophe though...

Doesn't stop me from cringing. And when he shows up in the dreams. It's just...I don't want to think about it anymore.

Liara. The flat, emotionless voice. The glazed eyes. The way she was forced down our throats as lover/BFF. She creeped. Me. Out.

I thought it started with all those collectables in ME1.

...

... ...

... ... ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAH! Why? Why did you make me remember them? That f*cking minerals quest. I think it was the heavy ones, or hte light ones, but one of those did not want to complete. I can't even remember the hours I must have put into finding the damned things, with the 90 degree slopes you go up with the asgfhñlkaaañlkg

 

*We interrup this post to reboot the brain. Please stand by*

 

Cringeworthy? I think most of the Thessia dialogue, though some of it is better if you bring Javik.

 

Liara: "It must be reacting to the cypher in your brain Shepard."

 

Javik: "Or the live prothean standing next to him."

 

But the convo with Joker's joke, and talking to the asari councilor....I like the asari but c'mon, all that was left was Shep autodialoguing getting an "Asari are da best" tattoo on his/her forehead.

 

Edit: under the "Humanity #1" and "Earth = Most Importantest." ones, of course.

- Liara assuming there is something between her and Shepard. 

- Jacob

- Almost everything Anderson says and does

- Over emotional Shepard in ME3

- Male Shepard beating that news reporter woman

- Miranda's catsuit

- ME1 ending when they make it seem like Shep died... and then he comes back with huge smile on his face. So cliche.

- Normandy Crash Site DLC

- Cortez watching that videotape and crying about his husband.

- Male Shepard and Kaidan first flirt scene in the Citadel... horrible.

- Benezia

- Kolyat and Thane's deathbed scene

- the what-the-crap hug on Illium with the asari

- the committee saying "We we're hoping you could tell us" when Shepard has been locked up for 6 months

- listening to Harkin talk to femshep in Chora's den

- Shepard saying its the reapers and Anderson saying "If I knew that.."

The scene after Thessia, where Joker makes a legitimately funny joke and I'm forced to tell him off because Shepard is still butthurt over losing to Kai Leng.

*sigh* Whole post-Thessia is a disaster.

Umm this?

 

 

I'd never seen Kelly's dance, I just can't even /facepalm.

 

My biggest cringe moment by far, almost hiding behind a cushion cause it was all so bad, was Tali singing in the Citadel DLC.  In my first run I was femShep and Tali was my best mate, a sister to her in ME2.  Then I did ME3 with maleShep romancing Tali thinking it would be cool, but instead I got a besotted 16 year old fangirl.  It's tainted my view of Tali ever since tbh.  

 

Then of course Jacob and femShep, and the blatant bias when visiting Palaven's moon.  Shep has got some brass balls being able to sidle up to the turians and not give a damn about their situation.  How the hell they don't tell him/her to sod off I don't know, they're just oddly happy to let you have their troops so that it fits into an incredibly convoluted storyline.  And this is from someone who really likes ME3.  :rolleyes:

I hate to dislike Tali, but yeah..... not my thing either.

I'll bite. What about these three specifically?

I rather liked Sam and Cortez.

 

Possibly because they're the only nods to the ME2 plot... and barely.
