Most "Emotional" Moment For You
Just curious about other's perspectives and feelings on this. Would like to keep it related to "positive" emotions with a max of 2 scenes. For me:
The Tempest's First Landing and First Tour

Although, for me Alec's sacrifice didn't move me as much as I might have expected. I think because that type of "moment" in games has been done so many times. If you are invested in the ME trilogy, it's probably different. Not having that investment, this was more of a cliche moment for me. Either that or I've become a cold, heartless ******. 🙂
Yup it is cliche, but There isnt really one of those huge moments for me in the game and being a father myself I can relate to the whole parental sacrifice thing. Always liked a Man's Man type character rather than the sensitive new age type character. So it appeals to me.
The real emotional Mass Effect moments for me were probably the following: ME3 the scene when the reapers hit earth and shepard had to force himself to leave earth to seek help... the destruction, knowing what shepard was about you feel his pain, frustration and internal conflict... Then that music plays... oh gosh... haunts me till this day...
The liberation of Rannoch, especially if Tali's your love interest. To be able to give the love of your life back her home planet... I felt like a GOD!!!
Thane's last moments praying for you rather than himself... Defeating Kai Leng felt so much better than the Archon...
ME2 coming back to the Normandy after it's been boarded by the collectors, ships empty... Launching the rescue mission, finally normandy blasting the hell out of the collector flag ship. Saving the crew of the normandy from the collectors... then fighting with the crew all the way till the end... Layers and waves of emotions all the way to climax.
That's the kind of emotion that is lacking in MEA.... The final scene in meridian is ok... Still prefer the ME2 ending sequence though.

I am a little of both -
I am a parent and I would like to think the idea of going on without my child would be so heartbreaking that I would endanger myself for her safety.
But I am also the daughter of a father who has had next to nothing to do with me my whole life- I am pretty sure he has no love for me but there is always that small part that hopes I am wrong. I will probably never find out - but to find out that way, him dying for me to know he does care. I have some idea how the son/daughter in that situation would feel as well.
So yeah, for me it was a rather touching and emotional scene on many counts, as were some of the family revelations that followed.
Plus I could just imagine how worried after everything, the twin still standing would have been at the thought they could yet loose the one in a coma, leaving them completely alone. I found there to be plenty of feels all around for me.

Guess we share some similarities maybe that's why that scene brought something out of us. Am striving to be a better parent also cause my Dad left the family when I was a kid. Havent seen him in decades, not even sure if he's alive. As far as Ryder goes, he seem less affected by his fathers death than Cora! That and him not defending his father's memory when people like Addison and 'the angry woman' pissed on it really annoys me.
- Alec Ryder and some of his memories
Conclusion to Movie Night
Meridian sequence
Some of the moments with Cora near the end (need to play again to confirm this was due to romance but looked like it was)
Nothing quite as emotional as the conclusion to ME3 Citadel DLC

But I do think they could have evolved the writing and storytelling up to a ME2 level, taking into consideration the time we spend playing MEA matches playing all trilogy, if not more. The the storytelling there and linearity makes it possible having a depth and fluidity. Citadel DLC was superb.

This! Totally agree!
