The "Holy crap that was awesome" moments. SPOILERS Dannymac Send a noteboard - 03/02/2010 11:27:55 PM
Moments like this sell a game for me. If while you are playing you do stuff that makes you want to grab your friends and say "LOOK! LOOK!" then I am likely going to keep playing for the next one.

A lot of these are activated by the Paragon/Renegade Quicktime events in conversations, which was remarkably better integrated than I thought we were going to get when I saw what they were going for.

A few of my favorites so far.

1. Shepherd Headbutts a Krogan. HELL YEAH.

2. Normandy destroys the Collector Ship. Advanced Technology my ass. I'm pretty sure I let out a war whoop.

3. EDI: I like seeing humans on their knees. (Pause) That was a joke.

4. The moment I realized that my female Shepherd was hitting on Garrus. Garrus: Didn't know you went for guys with scars. Me: Yeah, like that is the biggest problem we're facing right now.

5. The Grand Reveal on why the collectors are collecting humans. The sickening way in which it made sense? Priceless.

The one thing I really wanted that I never got was a grand fail scenario... a situation in which the Collectors get Shepherd's body. I have a feeling they wouldn't just be melting it down.
