4. Mass Effect 3 - Anderson's Death
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mSzuhLGH1o Although many had a problem with Mass Effect 3's ending, none can dispute that the game was full of heart-breaking moments. The music throughout the game merely multiplied this sadness whether it was when Shepard was leaving Earth or when he failed to secure the artefact on Thessia. The one moment that hit me strongest though was the death of Admiral Anderson aboard the citadel. A bullet hole in his chest, blood and bruises all over his body; you can tell Anderson is reaching his breaking point. When both Shepard and Anderson are sitting down looking out over Earth, you think it's all over you think that they finally succeeded. However Bioware decided that they hadn't thrown enough curveballs your way and quickly snatch Anderson way from you. His last words telling you how proud he is of you and confirming that he thought of Shepard as a son. It doesn't end just there though, after killing off a major character from all 3 games Bioware decide to dig deeper into your heart and have Admiral Hackett tell you that nothing's happened. You then proceed to watch Shepard crawl towards the control module not knowing what to do, close to giving up before collapsing on the ground and being taken up towards the...well special magical child thing.
