9 Best Fan Service Moments In Video Games

6. The Party - Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC

This is another case where I’m inclined to include the entire DLC as my best fan service moment but if you’ve gone through the Mass Effect trilogy and had the pleasure of playing The Citadel DLC I’m betting you understand.

There’s so much to love in this DLC that is entirely designed to give you more time and opportunities to spend with Mass Effect’s fantastically realised and charming suite of characters. Whether lost love interests, shipmate besties, or returning characters from old entries, every moment of this DLC is a delight. That said, I’m going to have to pick the party as the highlight. Here you can interject yourself with random groups of your pals, hear their chatter amongst each other, and watch Tali get wasted again because that’s never not enjoyable.

You even get to wake up with your loved one in the morning, unless you’re like me and romanced Thane and then you get a really sad video to cry about and wake up alone. Let’s move on.
