History TearJerker / WatchDogs

** 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.

* Shockingly enough, there is also a Tear Jerker with one of the buyers from the Auction as well. You track down one of the buyers to Pawnee and find him in front of a grave. When you hack his phone you see him texting his wife about how losing her caused him to fill the hole she left in terrible ways. It is at this point you realize that said grave is his wife's grave, and when he sends the message he only receives and error in return. When you find his case you see by this point he couldn't care less if he got caught now and he knows he has done terrible things.

-->'''Nicky:''' Remember when we were kids and I would follow you? And you'd try and get away from me and me, and, stupid me, I kept trying. I didn't like your cars or hockey, and your friends were gross.

*** What's even worse is the implication that the man didn't die from his cancer--it's quite possible that he ''did'' think of himself as a burden and [[DrivenToSuicide decided to kill himself rather than make his family suffer.]] Which would mean if he had [[PoorCommunicationKills just waited a bit longer to take that phone call...]]

* In ''Bad Blood'', Default's reason for hating T-Bone- 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.

* 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 our world we hide in the dark, behind monitors. That's the only place we feel safe. It isn't enough to say that I didn't know; that lives would be lost or that it was only a job. [[TheAtoner I thought if I could help you heal, help you find answers -- maybe I could heal myself]]. But I can't. When this is all over, I hope we can at least talk. Or if not...at least I can disappear.
