Mass Effect Andromeda: 10 Hilarious Animations You Need To See

7. The Most Emotional Scenes In Gaming History (Opening Spoilers)

Just a heads up on this entry's clips - they reveal the state of Alec Ryder after the opening, so if you'd prefer to find out for yourself, carry on through.

Still here? Good, because OH GOD, Mass Effect Andromeda has no idea how to deliver emotional dialogue. Both clips come directly after Alec Ryder has perished, leaving you to take up the mantle of the Pathfinder.

It's meant to be a glorious moment for either Scott or Sara, tinged with sadness as their own father isn't around to see what they've become. Yet, Bioware's coders deliver the moment with about as much zest as a retail worker serving a customer five minutes before finishing a 13 hour shift.

Worse still, there's a noticeable 'cut' between two specific lines of dialogue in the above clip. Truly - and sadly - an amateurish issue for such a storied and otherwise professional developer.

These are the guys that brought us Knights of the Republic, for crimany's sake.
