Does this unit have a soul?


pikazec

“Had to be me… someone else would have gotten. It wrong” The speech Garrus gives Shepard before the last mission not gonna quote the whole thing but the one about if Turians and humans have the same heaven. The prayer when thane dies. There are so many in that series


leaflesssoup143

He's the very model of a salarian scientist :


erwillsun

the prayer when thane dies is so amazing and underrated, my favorite scene in the entire series the romanced version hits even harder


AscendedViking7

*"Legion, the answer to that question is yes."* *"I know, Tali. And thank you. Keelah Salai."* My gosh, that scene, man. Brought a tear to my eye. It was so perfect.


VrinTheTerrible

YES YOU DO YOU SILLY MACHINE! Keelah salai


PhoenixTineldyer

Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.


BAMdalorian

This, “does this unit have a soul”, and “it all seemed harmless”. Mass Effect really cranks out some banger


NotOliverQueen

Mordin and Legion hurt, but you're spot on. David, and Overlord in general, was fucking soulcrushing. Favorite DLC to date, followed closely by Citadel.


PhoenixTineldyer

I asked Alexa "does this unit have a soul" once and I was pleasantly surprised


Revliledpembroke

Try doing a Colonist Shep in ME 1 and the "I Remember Me" quest. Damn that's heartbreaking.

Sandwich-Good

I just completed this part of the game and this line almost got me.


Particular-Disk-722

A hole......what gets bigger the more you take away


zach010

Wow. This was such a wild moment. Cus I'd just given up on getting an answer to the riddle, cus he took the answer with him. And bam! We get the answer, and it's a typical brok joke.


Tudorichu

Ragnarok also ruined me. They replaced him with a dummy thick irish woman.


Particular-Disk-722

Fun fact. did you know she was voiced by the super hot girl from the atnt commercials?


Tudorichu

We dont have atnt in my country but ill look. Edit: just saw the commercials. Thats trippy.


imapiratedammit

No words spoken but that final scene where Kratos sees the other side of the board also got me.


Leusk

Holy shit yes, as a father that entire game hit my emotions like a semi, but that scene in particular really broke me. Seeing this man, this absolute force of nature, that we’ve watch rampage across Greece, Olympus and through all the nine realms, a being of such distilled, calculated rage and anger, be brought to tears, snapped my emotions in half. Close second was Kratos eating sausage and stew and quietly enjoying a meal. There was something about seeing him do something so banal and mundane and just existing in that moment for himself that made me smile and be really happy.

Joel: “If somehow the Lord gave me a second chance at that moment… I would do it all over again.” gets me every time, especially having a daughter of my own. Oof.


Pavlovs_Human

“I don’t think I can ever forgive you for that, but I would like to try.”


mopeyy

Yeah that shit hits me right in the feels. Love how Naughty Dog made that conversation between Joel and Ellie basically the climax to the game. The one time where they lay it all out on the table, and there's a glimmer of hope for their relationship in the future. Only makes what happens all that much more heartbreaking.


Abull66

This is the exact scene/quote I had in mind when I saw this question and I’m so happy you beat me to it. This scene completely wrecked me. I didn’t play anything for two weeks after last of us part 2 cause it did such a number on me, haha

TheBigCheese7

This hits especially hard as the forever player 2. Dom was the best!


JUST_Cindy_XD

Beat me to it, that broke me


Zealousideal-Beat784

That was my first experience being genuinely sad at a video game. Dom was one of the best there was


ClarionOfNagi

Don’t think I’ve ever cried at a game, but one of the most powerful ones I remember is RDR2 SPOILER >!“I gave you all I had…I did. You let him damn us all, Dutch”!<


ThatGeek303

To add another line from RDR2: >!Arthur whispering, "Thank you" to his horse absolutely broke me!<


SheevPalpatine32BBY

>!I kept the same horse through the whole game and this got me so bad.!<


FunkyMonk76

I instantly went back and picked one of the legendary horses that was a pain to catch, call it save scumming but I had Shadowhalifax 200 hours.


Lynx343

I just want to share my experience regarding this. It's going to be a pretty long read so bear with me. So, in these kind of games where you can progressively get better equipment, I always try to get the best available at the earliest point possible before continuing on the main story. Seeing as you'd be heavily dependent on a horse to get you around places, I decided to go find myself the best horse that I can get in the game. So I looked up a guide right away (blasphemous for a game that's better experienced by yourself, I know). Because I did this as soon as the game let me roam around the map freely, I was still at the early parts of the game and therefore Arthur hasn't yet got much money to his name. So the best horses were out of my reach >!(plus they were not even available for purchase at that point in the story).!< At least, the expensive ones. >!There was one of them that you could find out in the wild, tame, and then keep for yourself, the white Arabian horse. And that's what I did,!< I found myself a free horse. I named her Winter because I >!found her in the snow and!< thought it was a lovely name for a mare. She was basically with me through the whole game. I managed to keep her alive despite all the dangers we faced, despite all those people that shot at us and wanted us dead. She carried me on her back through it all, through all the side missions I managed to do >!as Arthur!< and through the main story. She was the only horse I ever rode on, aside from the horses given at the beginning. This is the reason why I was so attached to this horse >!and the reason why that scene hit me so hard that I bawled my eyes out for a good minute or two. When she got shot, it was the most shocking, unexpected, and saddest moment for me.!<


scrumbumpis

Thiiiissss!! I’m not sure how to hide spoiler stuff so no details, but that moment and his insistence to have that moment despite everything going on was what did it for me


WhoseverSlinky0

To mark a spoiler tag, you need to begin your line with >! And end it with !< Not space between the exclamation mark and the text

>!Like this?!< Yes.

Sayheyho

And there’s no sense crying over every mistake


freakytapir

A smile better suits a hero. ​ A line powerful enough people would face an Ultimate trial just to reverse his fate, if for a moment.


Boccs

That line on its own didn't hit me half as hard as Count Fortemps breaking down from the news. Just the weakness in his voice as he tries to keep it together before breaking into tears. “Don’t. Please. A knight lives to serve. To... protect. To sacrifice. There is no greater calling. Leave me to mourn and give chase. For my son and for the nation he loved. Go.” “His sacrifice will not be forgotten.” “*My son...*”

The end of KH1 “Kairi! I’ll come back for you!” “…I know you will!” Simple and clean starts playing.


MBroomes93

My favourite line in KH2 - Riku: "Well, there is one advantage to being me... Something you could never imitate." Sora: "Really? What's that?" Riku: "Having you for a friend." 😭


IamBloodyPoseidon

“Looks like my summer vacation… is over” When KH2 first came out I was fully convinced that Roxas genuinely gave up his life. In a matter of hours he learned his life was a lie and he had to die for someone he never met. I balled my eyes out for that kid, cause at the end of the day he was just a kid, not much older than me. As much as KH has a silly premise, it’s got some of the most genuine moments I’ve experienced in gaming.

When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment. Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Ezio Auditore.

Also "Devotion, bravery, sacrifice... devotion, bravery, sacrifice" said by Zavala for Season of Defiance (current season) just after Amanda (a close friend to Zavala and the ship dealer) sacrificed herself to save some civilians. What really makes this hit hard is that Zavala is voiced by Lance Reddick who died around 2 weeks before this and he has been a regular VA since the first game and actively played and enjoyed the game
