10 Most Powerful Knockouts In Gaming History
8. Downing The Reporter - Mass Effect Trilogy
Between 2007 and 2012 Bioware's Mass Effect trilogy captivated millions of gamers. The tale of Commander Shepherd and their journey to become the arbiter of all races in the Milky Way Galaxy was chock full of memorable moments. When you weren't shooting the heads off Geth or making choices that decided the fate of the galaxy, you had some downtime with often humorous results.
One of the running jokes of the original trilogy is Khalisah Bint Sinan-al-Jilani, the prying tabloid journalist always trying to dig up the latest scandal on the Citadel. She first makes an appearance in Mass Effect 1 after Shepherd becomes a Spectre. Upon quizzing the commander on his or her new role, you can take the nuclear option and punch the reporter in the face to get her out of your way.
You can do the same thing again in Mass Effect 2 when she starts to point out the negative side of your actions. For Mass Effect 3 though, a twist is thrown in. The game acknowledges how you've treated Khalisah in the past as she'll dodge your initial punch. Triggering another renegade interrupt lands a nasty headbutt that sends her sliding down the wall for an instant knock-out. That's gotta hurt...
