History TearJerker / WatchDogs

* [[spoiler: Clara's death, and especially the message she leaves for Aiden.]]
* Equally sad is the scene where [[spoiler: Nicky and Jackson leave Chicago for their own safety.]]

* [[spoiler: Jacks has been cornered by some of Quinn's goons, so true to form Aiden tears through them to save him. Turns out Jacks was [[MookHorrorShow watching the whole thing]] on security cameras, and when Aiden finds him, the boy flinches away from him in wide-eyed terror.]] Though it [[GameplayAndStorySegregation does cause some problems if you decide to knock everyone out or simply snipe them from the highway, as there is no way he could have seen you kill them.]]
* In ''Bad Blood'', Default's reason for hating T-Bone- [[spoiler: His brother was one of the people who died as a result of Raymond's blackout in 2003- namely, he was on suicide watch, but used the chance T-Bone provided to hang himself.]]

* Maurice's Audio Logs, scattered throughout the game map, really paint him in a tragic light.

** Another one is filled with yelling, a woman screaming at ''someone'', both parties out of frame... Until you realize, no one else is talking, it's just this one woman. She starts saying thinks like "you ruined my life", and eventually, in between tears and screaming, she screams, "just DO IT!" followed by choking sounds, and thirty seconds of silence. Then Aiden is forced away from the system. It's really difficult to know that no many how many crimes you stop if you play Vigilante, there's no way to stop the things in the intrusion missions.

* One of the intrusion missions: After you breach the security you see a webcam of a man and a woman in their bedroom. The man is coughing and retching horribly and his wife is trying to comfort him. Using the scanner you see that he is a terminally ill cancer patient and by listening more you learn they have a baby on the way. Even as much as it would be easy to take the money from their iPad and forget the entire thing, its just impossible to do it. They need that money and to steal it would just be a horrible thing to do.

** Another one never shows you who's talking, but the audio and the sound following heavily imply that a woman is committing suicide

** It's legitimately impossible to describe how horrific and tragic the scene is. Take your pick, is it the fact that they're all close to weeping and alone, terrified? Is it the way the people at the auction treat them, like toys or machines- to say they are treated like animals is an UnderStatement. Oh, it could be the fact that the cTOS, the thing that is scarily good at tracking people has no idea they're there and can't even find their names. Of course, nothing compares to the fact that this scene? It's [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[TruthInTelevision real ]]. Seriously, a moment out there for all the people who experience and have experienced this. The scene is so far past TearJerker it's soul-crushing, possibly the most upsetting scene in Video Games in years, and it's beyond cathartic to kill everyone you can in that mission.

** Another intrusion mission involves seeing through another camera in a house. You can see a man lying on the floor, not moving. Looking at him through the profiler reveals that he has had cancer, but it is now, supposedly, in remission. Hacking his phone reveals a voicemail of his son reassuring him that he is not a burden to his family.
