For me, it's the part of Vigil's story (and maybe you need to keep questioning him and get all his dialogue to pick this up ... it might be after the "important bits") he talks about how a team of Prothean Scientists used the Conduit to go to the Citadel and disable the Keeper signal that would open the relay so the Reapers could return from dark space again and destroy all organic life 50,000 years in the future (Shepard's present-day ... it's why the Keeper signal didn't work, and Sovereign had to invade the Citadel).yummysoap wrote...
I don't understand why some people say that they found Vigil particularly tear-worthy. I get that the story he tells is pretty tragic, and that the situation he's in is sad, but I didn't find anything to be that gut-wrenching - at least not compared to some of the other stuff.Curunen wrote...
I was quite emotional over Shepard reuniting with Wrex. Way better than the rest of the squad reunions.
Having said that, I don't think there was an instance that left me in tears.
The last thing that did that for me was Vigil on Ilos.
I'm not trying to mock, I'm actually interested in hearing why.
It was too late for them to save themselves - the Protheans were lost - and this team went on a one-way trip to make sure that this terrible, awful tragedy wouldn't happen to anyone else, even though their effort and sacrifice wouldn't - couldn't - help save anyone they'd ever known. They could have just given up, and stayed on Ilos, and died there, but they didn't. These scientists, after completing their mission to prevent the Reapers from returning through the Citadel, likely died of starvation. And they knew that going in.
Ack! I'm tearing up right now!
Wrex reunion did not actually make me cry, but it was by far the best ME1 companion reunion. I was grinning like an idiot ... between the part where Shepard brushes past that dais guard, and then the whole conversation where Shepard's alternating between smirking at Uvenk getting a smack-down (Krogan Head-Butt Rules) and smiling at Wrex, it just felt like that was Shep's happiest moment.
Saving the Destiny Ascension in ME1 gets me every time. So does Navigator Pressly's log from the Normandy Crash Site quest.
I've been thinking about why ME2 just wasn't as tear-jerking for me, and I've realized it's because I knew I was gathering a team for a suicide mission. It's counter-productive and silly to get yourself all emotionally tangled up with the cannon fodder, y'know? Mordin and Legion were really the only new characters I liked enough to get past the "everyone could die" emotional block.
