Big surprise.
Tali's loyalty mission, particularly on the Alerai (spelling). Every single conversation was packed with emotion. My stomach felt like it had been ripped out, twisted around, put back in, and then punched by the end of that mission. How anyone could give the evidence to the admiralty after that is beyond me...

For me, the whole scene where you play as Joker was one of my faves. When the lift opens and some strange four-legged Collector comes out and shanks the crew, with Joker yelling "SHIIIIIT!".
But definitely when Garrus died in my playthrough, Shortly followed by Mordin =(

For me it was all of Jack's loyalty mission dialogue.
Just thinking about all the pain, loneliness and terror she experienced as a young child is heart-breaking. Then she finally escapes only to be abused by Mercs.....
I must admit, I teared up alot in that mission. She really is just a broken, terrified little girl still....

Going to the Normandy Crash Site DLC. I went through it twice because after I had set the monument and found all the names I decided... these names need to be recorded, redid it and wrote down every name on the dog tags... they are in front of my xbox to remind me of what Shepard has lost.

Much of my emotional reaction to the game has been me being disturbed. The Jack mission is one, the conversations that you have with Dr. Mordin Solus during his loyalty mission is another.

Agree totally. Many emotionally charged moments in this game, but none hit me as hard as the suicide mission, when you had to pick and choose which characters would do what.
I always liked Garrus from ME1, so I got more attached to him throughout ME2, along with Thane, since I thought his character was quite interesting. In the final mission, I always picked Garrus to go lead Team 2, given his experience, and Thane would always stick with me. I also liked Tali a lot, so for the first objective, I picked her as my tech specialist, and she didn't dissapoint. When Sheppard congratulated her, that was the first time in... well, ever, that I felt pride for a video game character. I was proud of Tali, and proud of myself for making the right choice. But then Garrus showed a sign of injury, and I actually started getting worried. But I wasn't worried I'd lose a character or his skills, I was worried I'd lose Garrus. Luckily, he stood up straight, gave a signal he was fine and we moved on. Again, I was surprised that I felt actual relief.
For the final objective, I picked Miranda as my biotic "shield generator". I knew Morinth, or even Jack, would be the better choice, but I had ignored Miranda all game long (didn't like her much), so I decided to throw her a bone for this one. Again, I sent Garrus to lead Team 2, and Thane would stick with me. The mission went smoothly, but then Miranda got weak towards the end. As the shield dropped, Sheppard ran to get Miranda through the door. As a result, Thane gets swarmed, carried off, and, I can only assume, killed. The door shuts behind us, and that's when it hit me. My decisions got someone killed.
In any other game, in this situation, a character dies because the script decided it be so. Regardless of whether or not you care about that character, their death was already pre-determined. Even in ME1, it was already decided someone would die on Virmire, Ash or Kaidan, and it was up to the player to pick which one. For me it pretty much came down to who I liked most. But at that moment in ME2, Thane died despite my best wishes to keep him alive. I chose Miranda as the shield, even though I knew she may not be the best choice. And I chose to have Thane in that position at that point in time. I know there was a bit of bad luck, and some clever scripting on the part of the developers, involved as well, but it didn't matter. I lost a particularly favored member of my crew because of my decisions. As a result, the final victory over the collectors was bittersweet. Seeing Shepard over Thane's coffin at the end also really drove the point home. I was sad, but also angry at myself for failing one of my crew.

To that effect, when you encounter al-Jilani (the reporter) again... on my Paragon femshep playthrough, I saved the Council. Max Paragon'd the conversation with her, and Shep's response...really brings it home, at least for me.
edit: now with video goodness.

Almost all the personal quests were emotional.
The whole suicide mission must've been the most emotional.
When I picked Miranda as the second squad leader and she got shot I stood up and was like: IF YOU DIE NOW IL... *sigh of relief* she got back up luckily

Watching the Normandy blow up and Shepard die in the opening. The music, and watching helplessly as Shepard floats away towards the horizon.
Thane's romance scene. For ten years he's been dead, only going through the motions, his body only a tool, an empty shell, there was only the next mission. Then Shep comes along and reawakens him. Knowing that he might loose it all again makes him afraid, it's not what he wants and he's not ready to let it go, it shames him. The whole "Be alive with me tonight." Very emotional.
When Garrus was gunned down. I kept saying "No way, no way! I won't let you die Garrus!" I thought I'd done something wrong! When he started breathing and choking, I was like "Get us out of here and to Chakwas NOW!"
Of course Tali's father and the hug.

Yeah. Tali's reaction to her dad's death.
Second that.
Also Some of Mordins dialogues regarding his work on the geneophage. you realize he was trying to stop the krogans from being obliterated by the other races, and really likes them.
Jacobs fathers explanations for enslavment and murder really made me want to shoot him, but i wouldn't do that in front of Jacob.
Yeah, Tali's loyalty mission and Mordin's talks about the geneophage. They did great work with Tali overall and Mordin turned out to be a lot deeper character than I ever expected.

There's just too many.
When I heard that Archangel was a Turian I started suspecting he was Garrus. Finding out he was literally made me jump out of my chair and do a happy dance around the room.
Seeing him get gunned down almost made me panic. Drowning in his own blood. Sheesh.
I'm not interested in Tali as a love interest, mostly because I play a Fem!Shep, but there are few I'd fully trust to watch Shepard's back, and Tali is one of them. Her trial and everything about it was so very touching, especially a few choice lines of dialogue. Made me feel all warm inside.
First time going through the suicide mission. I was on the edge of my seat hoping to all hell that I made the right decisions, upgraded everything. To my surprise I managed to keep everyone alive on my first go through. Seeing Kelly getting liquified, finding Chakwas alive. Tali trying to franticlly shut the door. Garrus sliding down the edge. My heart was pounding.
The two most emotional moments however that actually brought tears to my eyes revolve around the Normandy. The beginning of the game was amazing. Hale's voice acting when she tells Kaidan to just 'go' really struck me. Walking out into the vaccum did as well. Going from all this chaos and noise to just... nothing but Shepard's breathing. And of course, hearing Shepard's last gasps of breath as she drifted towards the planet, followed by silence then that amazing peice of music. Took my breath away.
The site of the Normandy crash also touched me greatly. Brought back so many memories. I teared up when Shepard had the flashback of Ashley. I'm so sorry Ash, so sorry.

Mordin's & Tali's loyalty quests. Man Tali's was really sad...that moment right there just seemed so real. It's actually kind of scary they can make you feel that way.
Also when the Normandy destroys the collector ship with the new weapons. I was like "Hell ****ing Yea!"

It was actually the Normandy DLC that made me go quiet for a while. Wandering around the icy waste as all those memories of ME 1 flash up and realising I'd never get the original Normandy back...
Creepy notes were the Derelict Reaper and Jack's loyalty mission. ME went into some really dark territory with those. Tali's stuff is of course a given but watching my Fem!Shep's LI get turned into Reaper paste was heartwrenching. ='(

I agree with MassAccelerator that video was very, very well done.
I thought the bit where Ashley comes out from behind the crate after you've fought off the Collector invasion was a proper "Yes! She's back!" moment, which made the whole conversation afterwards really tough. Now my Shepard spends all his time missing her, I hope they bring her back in the third one. The bit before you go through the Omega 4 relay and Shepard is in his cabin and he looks at Ashley's picture, smiles and go off was a nice touch, and accurately reflects my characters feelings towards here.
A lot of the stuff with Jack was well done, as was Thane's and Tali's quests.
I think the fact that you can customise the speeches you give at the end of the games was a great touch. It really made it feel like YOU were making the speech, rather than a speech that the game designers thought you should make. The music in these bits were brilliant. I didn't cry, but there was a lump in my throat, it was a proper "Yeah! Time to kick some arse!" moment.
These are truly great games. I don't remember playing anything else that has come close to touching me on such an emotional level.

Most of these have already been said, but I'm still going to put them up
- Introduction. I knew Sheaprd was going to die, but when you see him crash land throught he atmosphere on that planet...I had a few seconds of doubt. I was afraid that I'd be palying a clone or an android or something. Scared me to death
- Garrus' death. Garrus was my best buddy from ME1 (outside Kaiden, who got nuked) and seeing his faced afte the gunship was bad enoguh but...seeing him being taken away by the collector swarms was horrible.
- Tali's loyalty missionw as great, expecially when she saw he dad and you got to hug her...made me all teary-eyed. Made me want to ditch Miranda for her right then, and I should have too.
- Reuniting with Ash was pretty powerful. It was the first time in a video game where I really felt the emotion of her "rejecting" me like I was actaully that person.
-Miranda's loyalty mission was also good, If you let her talk to her sister.
-The speach before the suicide mission got me pumped...not as much as the ME1 normandy speach, but it gave a "Hoorah!" feeling regardless
-The Normandy DLC was fantastic. All those falshbacks, plus the guilt I got form seeing Kaidan's "ghost" when walking into that one section was well done. Made me feel sad for leaving the "good ol' days" or ME1 behind.
-And, for the record, punching the reporter again and head-butting the Korgan was pretty satsfying. Plus the feeling when you walk into the Afterlife Club or Zakera Ward or Illium for the first time...awesome
I'm doing a few more playthroughs jsut to experiance things like Jack and Tali's romance, along with making a Femshep to romance Thane and to die at the end of the sucide mission... I want to experiance that one myself.

There are a lot of stand out emotional moments:
The Normandy being destroyed and then to see it again, but with the addition of the Cerberus logo. (I don't care if they did bring Shep back from the dead, they still have a lot to answer for from ME1)
Meeting Kaiden on Horizon. All the other former squadmates were mostly glad to see Shep alive, so his storming off, essentially-"Eff you", speech made me teary. He was not only the original squadmate but also her love interest. Then it didn't help to have that reflective moment looking at his photo before the Omega 4 relay jump.
The collector's boarding the Normandy; those jerks were on MY ship. (Playing as Joker rocked, I was cursing right along with him as I played. Then I went from laughing the hardest ever in a game (Joker's expression at EDI's "joke") to tears when you realized everyone was gone. )
And the ending, I actually did a victory lap around the living room when everyone got out alive.

Would have to agree that the thought that Garrus might have been killed during the archangel recruitment storyline may have the most traumatic. Though I'll admit, as soon as I saw Kaidan was on Horizon, my character ran through that level so quickly (must have died a dozen times) that I missed all of the pickups. Of course then he called me a traitor (after my ME1 paragon had done everything right up that moment) and boy was I pissed.

Tali romance/loyalty mission.
I was actually shocked at the intensity of my emotions. I mean, I'm a veteran player and moviegoer, nothing ever really affects me. And I'm happily married to boot. Still I found myself in love with a bunch of polygons. WTF?
