Hands down, it was the reunion with Kaidan. First off, I knew that our love interests were going to have very limited roles in this game and I really wanted to try out the other romances. I didn't see the point in waiting until the third game to even pick up where I left off with Kaidan. Plus it had been two years since he saw Shepard. Enough time to get over her, right? Right? When Kaidan saw me again and gave me this warm embrace, I turned into a pile of mush. And then I took a punch in the gut when he yelled at me, obviously feeling very betrayed. I realized, wow, this guy really cares for me. He's spouting off that he loved me, thought what we had was special, and in the middle of all that, I decided that I was going to go through that entire playthrough romance-less and just wait for ME3 for the big payoff. He was worth the wait, even if the final game doesn't come out for years. (Getting that email from him was great.) I really, really appreciated that moment of looking at Kaidan's picture just before the suicide mission. I'm impressed that this game handled the romance well enough to get me to change my mind about Kaidan.

Almost word for word!  Except that I was a little angry on my first playthrough when Kaidan didn't let me explain anything, so my FemShep fell for Thane.  Which also gave me a very emotional moment before the suicide mission...

Mordin and Tali's loyalty missions were absolutely the tops as far as emotional moments go. I mean, all of the Loyalty missions were very very well done, but Tali finding her father and Mordin talking over the dead Krogan were far and away the most moving of them all.

Oh, the final mission too. How emotional that one is depends on what happens obviously.

Just did Garrus's quest. Oh man. The talk in the cab was epic... the lighting... Shepard's words, Garrus almost crazed with taking down his former teammate

My Shep chose not to let Garrus take him out. The manuvering my Shep did

"I'm the only thing that stands between you and a bullet to the head."

Garrus's comm chatter, and the choice weather to let him kill or not....

Not only that, but Garrus' commentary leading up to that, and after convincing Garrus not to kill the guy.  That's classic Garrus the whole way and why I like him so much.  No matter what, he still has his opinions while respecting yours, but he also realizes and admits when he is wrong.

This is one of the things that really sets him apart from the others.

[Cypher0020]

Yay! Tho my femshep's partial to Liara, she definitely knows that Garrus is a true friend that'll have her back the entire time....



damn.... Garrus and Shepard have come a long way since the shootout in the med clinic.....

[WoodWizzard87]

Nothing really hit me hard till the end mission with the music and the last cut scene with Shep making a mad dash for the normandy. I just had to sit there and watch him say **** you to the Illusive man at the end and watch the reapers come in with the big Crescendo at the end.



HERES THE WEIRD PART....



Just as i finished the ending i went back and put the ME2 launch trailer on with that Two Steps from Hell song "Heart of Courage". I then watched in and compared it and i felt little tears rolling down my face. I usually never cry, but something hit me like a sledgehammer after the game (coming from a guy that doesnt cry at funerals, wedding, emotional events).

[Blair Amell]

i stayed loyal to my LI from ME1 n when the romance scene was supposed to happen in this one shep went to her room n just stared at kaidans photo sadly n walked away ...it was devastating!

[TheLonePolack]

The beginning.

Shepard flailing around in space, air venting out of his suit, slowly dying of asphyxiation. He was always icy calm and in control of the situation. Seeing him panic like that, helpless, kinda drove home the point that Shepard wasn't invincible.

[Faerlyte]

The three most emotional scenes for me were Tali when she found her father dead, the conversation with Garrus during his loyalty mission when you're trying to convince him not to go through with the assassination, and the romantic scene with Garrus before you hit the Omega 4 relay.



All top notch scenes. Loved the dialog and the emotion, and they're my favorite characters. Perhaps a little bias there...

I agree completely.  Though to be fair, there were countless emotional parts to the game that really hit home.  Even running into people from ME1 that you helped turn their life around.  It made you feel that despite everything, you really did help make a difference.

[SmartRetard]

Opening scene with Shepard struggling as he flew towards the planets atmosphere. The music hit and it blew me away.



The whole Normandy crash site was real deep, I held a moment of silence for all of them. Then proceeded to move the monument everywhere lol.



Also when I proceeded to walk into my cabin and noticed all my fish had died. Now it wouldn't had been so bad but then the sound system music started playing sad music and it hit me where it hurt

[asaiasai]

IMHO i never really felt attached to my FemShep like i did to my Fems in DAO or ME for that matter. ME2 never really provided an opportunity for me to bond with my character. I play if given the option female characters always, and while the game was good i just never seemed to develop that emotional connection like i did to my FemShep in ME. There seemed to be MORE emotional conectivity in ME than ME2 which is sad because in just about every other way except in that connection the game was better than ME. I just grabbed a gun shot up a bunch of stuff moved on, shot up a bunch more stuff moved on, shot up some more stuff etc. I never felt pressed, stressed, i never felt that urgency that connection between me, my character, and LI. I felt more like and observer than a participant probably because the choices for character development were limited.

I was ridiculously happy that my space hamster survived the collector attack lol.

Out of curiosity, are there any other emotional massochists who are tempted to replay and make all the wrong choices just to see the horrors that are unleashed?

[mione]

The first time I tried the final mission was an emotional rollercoaster for me I was torn between thinking "Who's going to die!?" and "This is Awesome!" I was lucky/paranoid and got all the upgrades and loyalty so my whole team and crew lived but it kept me on edge.



That and hearing the promise about building Tali an house on her homeworld It was really sad and I love Tali's voice actress when she says it. I hope we get the chance to give her that house in ME3.

This is true, which is part of what makes the game so great - it grabs you emotionally in so many places, not just the ones I listed. Bioware really outdid themselves. I hope it carries through into ME3 as well. It will be hard, having become so emotionally invested in the characters from ME2, only to lose them all in ME3...I don't know what will be the outcome, but I do believe that having no returning squadmates from ME2 in ME3 is a mistake, if that is indeed what they intend to do...

Tali's loyalty mission.

Father's death. Saw it coming, still hit me like sack of bricks. Got more emotional when Tali actually started crying. Paragon Interrupt was pinnacle of emotion.

... okay, fine, that's not my MOST emotional moment, but everyone's taking the obvious ones. And I wanted to talk like Mordin for a bit.

EDIT: Eh, seems that one's REALLY popular. Still one of my tops, though.

Toss-up between Mordin and Tali's loyalty missions. Tali was by far my favorite character in ME1, and her loyalty mission was gut-wrenching. Both of the "real" endings (Shepard shames the Admiralty into pardoning Tali, or Tali voluntarily accepts exile to protect her father's memory) damn near had me in tears. I don't count the "fail" ending where Shepard exonerates her against her wishes -- anyone who would do that doesn't know Tali.



Mordin is my co-favorite character in ME2 and his loyalty mission was deeply affecting as well. It reminded me of Oppenheimer after Hiroshima. He knew it had to be done, but...

[GiantStuffedDog]

If I had to pick one big emotional moment it's during the suicide mission, im my playthrough Tali was carried away by the collecter bugs. Such a sad moment because I loved Tali's character, I'll miss her in Mass Effect 3.
I'll save in in one of ny non-canon playthroughs though, along with everyone else who died on my squad.

If it's possible, I might pick Legion for the biotic barrier

-Deactivating the monitors to get Veetor's attention on Freedom's Progress
-Tali and her dead father, hugging her, then Shepard's speech about how she helped save the Citadel.
-Tali's romance conversations and scene
-Tali opening the door in the suicide mission, I was on the edge of my seat hoping she wouldn't take a headshot.
-All of the ending sequence, the nervousness about who died and who didn't, worrying about Miranda being dead because I chose her to lead the backup squad and Thane replied on the radio instead of her, catching Tali when she was sliding down the platform, helping my teammates up after we fell from the platform(this moment in particular was loaded to the brim with tension, I fully expected to look at Garrus and see dead eyes staring blankly at me, and to see Tali dead under the metal that collapsed on her.  Thankfully, they both lived), seeing Joker jump out there with a rifle, being pulled into the ship by Tali(extremely epic when your LI saves your life)
-Finding out that Miranda lived
-"And it was totally worth it."
-Miranda after talking with her sister, a very sweet scene.
-Garrus taking that shot when you were helping him escape Omega
-The Normandy taking out it's pursuers and the collector ship, I love seeing my resources put to good use.
-The Reapers closing in on the Milky Way at the end was a major "Oh SNAP!" moment, it really makes me think we're screwed after seeing how hard it was to take out Sovereign.

There have also been some pretty epic moments during combat...
-Tali being dropped, and hearing Harbinger say "This hurts you."  Epic timing.
-Going into the last fight in Tali's loyalty mssion, the one with the Geath Prime in it, and hearing the music that played in her trailer
-During the suicide mission, Tali's overheating in the last part of the vents, and between me and the button to save her is Harbinger and a couple of collectors.  I go into adrenaline burst at low health, run past the collectors, dodge a Harbinger missile(litterally /dodge/ it)and make it to the button.
-Lighting up the Blue Suns ship that took out Garrus
-Running out and unloading all of my assault rifle ammo into the final boss's eye while it charges up it's beam in an effort to finish it off.

Man, when I saw Ashley on Horizon and she was a punk, I was like forget you, and I totally got the all around girl, Miranda. You guys can hate on her but Shepard/Miranda babies is the secret weapon to destroy the Reapers. They will be like perfect humans. (Haha!)

Anyways, my favorite moments (because it looks like thats what this has turned into) are when I had to choose between Samara and Morinth in Samara's sidequest. It was such a hard choice I had to make both to see what happened (I had to do the same thing at the end with blowing up the Collectors ship or not.) Next was when I was Joker and I got eaten the first try and had to start over. I was sad, but laughed too. Also when I saved everyone at the end and accomplished all the missions I totally felt success. I Love this game!

[Polemos_Astro]

In the final mission, I had Legion sneaking in and Garrus leading the 2nd team, as the door was closing Garrus took a shot to his gut and I literally jumped up in shock. He then stood up and everything was fine and I couldn't help but laugh at myself.



Also during the final mission after killing the last boss, saved Garrus from falling barely (geez the game wanted me to believe he was going to die) and then lifting the slab of metal off Tali to see she was still alive.



Saving everyone in general hit home too. I really felt like I accomplished the impossible.



Also, any major speech given by Shepard, either gender. VA was superb this time around.

[Amicabletoaster]

My first play-through on the final mission Garrus got eaten by the swarm (because Miranda is a horrible biotic) and that really bummed me out as he grew to be one of my favorite characters.

[Lothial]

Really? I'm the only one who felt sorry for the collector general when Harbinger releases him. Tali's dad died from his own actions. That poor little bug never had a chance I tell you! It's not fair *sniffle*

All I could think at that point was this voice over in my head:

"Damn, I had the weirdest dream.


Oh ****. That's a lot of fire."

[Dellingr]

Having a drink with the doctor-an old friend in this sea of new faces and this ship that looks so much like the one I knew but isn't

I got a similar thing meeting Tali on Freedom's Progress, I'm soo glad they had a better option than the ones we saw in the trailer, relief at seeing there are some constants in this changed universe

Then the reunion with Garrus, and even though I knew he had to survive I was still on the edge of my seat as he got nailed repeatedly with machine gun fire, and then seeing him come into the comm room with the mangling and cybernetics (am I right in thinking the eye on that side's synthetic as well, I thought I saw a red glint in it), I was really glad he'd survived but that permanent damage really drove home the game's "real consequences" thing

Meeting Kaiden on Horizon, and him utterly rejecting my (male) shep's reasoning for working for cerberus, I'd alienated my trusted friend but I couldn't see any other way to achieve my goals, and then the bitterness and regret in the way Shep says "I've had enough of this colony..."-that's one time you couldn't accuse Mark Meer of doing a bad job

The totally stricken look on Jack's face as she fidgets with the detonator for the bomb she's planted in her old cell, when you see that the scars on her body are nothing at all compared with the raw gashes in her mind

Giving a sobbing Tali a hug in a darkened corridoor on a geth-infested ship-to let her know she wasn't alone... and then shaming the admirals into acquitting her

EDI telling Joker he has to give her full control of the ship and to do this he has to drag his fragile, slow-moving body through the middle of a collector attack. Joker who resents her interference, who mistrusts AIs so deeply, trusts her, maybe because there's no other option, but he trusts her all the same. (As a player, it was a blow to see Kelly dragged away screaming also) and then her line "they're all gone, Jeff"-which I initially took for a HAL-style AI takeover but which revealed itself to be actual genuine caring for the crew-and the way the two of them bonded during that sequence.... that's what changed my mind about EDI, as a player and I suspect as my Shep too-seeing that she wasn't just the IM's spy but also an valuable ally and..... sort of nice too

Tali after the final mission, describing how sick she's gotten... "and it was totally worth it..."-heartwarming and sad all at once, I do hope she and Shep get to stay together next game and perhaps find a proper way to strengthen her immune system, if not though, the difficulties with physical contact are nothing compared with what some couples deal with and stay happy

true bromance right through, being totally there for each other even when your opinions differ

also, the paragon resolution to the Tali/Legion conflict? I grinned ear to ear, even a little gesture of cooperation would have been awesome, but they reach a full compromise, the first time in over three centuries a Quarian and a Geth have been in that proximity and not wanted to kill each other, it's not just a little step toward peace, it's a big one

oh, and at the end? I did get seriously torn up about destroying the collector base or not, and eventually did destroy it, but not without continued internal conflict (a videogame's causing me internal conflict, that's actually awesome, IMO/BTW) but then when the Illusive Man said something like "that base could have ensured human dominance against the reapers and beyond" I suddenly knew, totally knew, that I'd made exactly the right choice-and the only only one that this Shepard could ever live with.

[Archdemon Cthulhu]

Mordin getting shot on my first playthrough, wasn't expecting it, because I thought anyone with even some tech stuff in their class would make it, but seeing him get shot, and just after I had really started to appreciate him, I was crushed.



As for epic, I purposefully chose Garrus and Tali on my final battle so that it could be the "old times" team from ME1 facing down ANOTHER epic battle for the galaxy. and then my Shepard saved his LI Tali from falling and it was pure awesome marinated in awesomesauce.
