'''Shepard:''' [[BondOneLiner Not at this range.]]

-->'''Shepard''': I'm taking the Normandy back. And honestly, I'm doing you a favor. 'Cause you don't have what it takes.\\
'''[[VillainousBreakdown Mysterious Figure]]''': I'm Shepard, do you hear me bastard/bitch! I'm Shepard!\\
'''Shepard''': No, you're not.\\
'''Mysterious Figure:''' I am Commander Shepard!\\

'''Mysterious Figure:''' My team is better than yours!\\

'''Mysterious Figure:''' You're just cybernetics! Scarred, worn-out Cerberus tech!\\
'''Shepard''': You know where I got those scars? Feros and Noveria and Virmire and Ilos! At the Collector Base and Palaven and Tuchanka and Rannoch and Thessia! I earned these scars protecting the galaxy! ''You got yours from a petri dish''!

* The Multiplayer also has a giant krogan [[DropTheHammer wielding a hammer.]] I repeat, a [[PunctuatedForEmphasis GIANT. KROGAN. WIELDING. A. HAMMER.]] [=CAT6=] can count themselves lucky that they dealt with [[StoneWall Wrex]] rather than [[LightningBruiser this guy]].

** As you're leaving Despoina, a Reaper dreadnought -- the big two-kilometers-long ''Sovereign''-class, mind -- drops out of orbit, straight at your shuttle... and Leviathan just ''[[ShockingMoments turns it off]]''.]

*** In general, watching Shepard gut Kai like a fish after all the problems he's caused]] is extremely satisfying.

*** The Control ending:Shepard basically becomes God; uploading into the Citadel basically supplants the Catalyst as the controlling entity of the Reapers and his/her perspective expands to an incomprehensibly vast scale. Using the Reapers, which are now implements of his/her will, Shepard repairs the Relay Network, and goes about restoring the damage done much like how the Synthesis-Reapers do in the Synthesis ending, and then wards over galactic civilization. Essentially, Shepard'st chosen method, be it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX7HDcvw2pk Paragonic, Renegade or Neutral]], is basically saying "You're doing it wrong" to the Catalyst.

** ...''[[Film/Dune1984 Shai-Hulud]]''.

'''EDI:''' Yes. I tried saying, "[[AC:humans are dust in the stellar wind]]," but apparently that is no longer sufficient.

* Thane vs Kai Leng. Kai Leng and Shepard's squad are circling each other with the salarian councilor trapped in the middle... and then Thane appears out of nowhere with his gun pointed at Leng's head. He proceeds to hold his own against Cerberus's cyborg poster boy despite being a DeadManWalking (three months to live ''nine months ago''), at one point [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom launching him across the room with a biotic pimpslap]].

*** But let's be honest. Who wasn't mashing the KickTheSonOfABitch button?

--> ''He was just so calm while he did it. Like he was daring Death to come take him.''

---> '''Shepard:''' All ships. This is Commander Shepard. The Reaper is ''dead''. Stand down. [...] The geth are about to return to full strength; if you keep attacking, they'll wipe you out. Your entire history is ''you'' trying to kill the geth. You forced them to rebel, you forced them to ally with the Reapers! [...] The geth ''don't want to fight you!'' If you believe that for just one minute, this war will be over! You have a choice. '''Please.''' ''Keelah se'lai''.

---> '''Shepard:''' All ships. This is Commander Shepard. If you don't want to be blown out of the sky in about half a minute, '''stand down now'''. [...] The geth are about to return to full strength; if you keep attacking, they'll wipe you out. A few years ago I saved you at the Citadel, just recently, I saved you from the geth dreadnaught, but I'm '''through''' saving you. If you don't stand down, I will stand by and watch as geth lay you to waste. It's your call. Keelah se'lai.

---> '''Reapers''': Shepard will fail, they have no cha- OhCrap! [[ThisIsGonnaSuck HOW DO WE STOP HIM/HER?!]]

-->'''Shepard''': [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Tell your friends we're coming for them]].\\

----> '''Shepard:''' You've always stood true to what you believe in. I admire that most about you. Trust your gut, Kaidan.

--> '''Cerberus Trooper''': [[OhCrap HOLY SHIT!]] IT'S ''[[TheDreaded SHEPARD!]]''

--> '''Aria''': [[TranquilFury Oh no]]...not yet. [[ToThePain You don't get a quick, easy death.]]

-->'''Javik:''' Problem solved.\\

---> '''Joker''': ''[into communicator]'' Maintenance to the shuttle bay.

* One goes out to gamers for the multiplayer mission "Operation Tribute." Earlier that month Zaeed's voice actor, Robin Sachs, passed away. BioWare designed a challenge weekend mission in his honor that requires scoring 50,000 with the Avenger assault rifle (Zaeed had one featured in ME2 named 'Jesse') and another 50,000 with firebombs (Zaeed's unique ability). To elaborate, this was a collective effort. In a single match, an individual would earn no more than a few hundred points. To score a grand total of 100,000 points would take the efforts of a lot of players, and everyone who played during the weekend that Operation Tribute was in place would receive the reward. They expected it to take all weekend. In an absolute heartwarming moment, It was achieved in ''four hours''. Talk about commitment to honor Robin Sachs' memory.

'''Shepard:''' Maybe if I was a stupid grunt... ''[Sabotage effect plays, force fields start powering down all across the station]''
