* One of the side missions on Eos has Ryder placing survey beacons around the area, in lieu of the technician who was injured by kett. Every beacon placed has a little recording from her daughter, who says she's sick and he's in the future, essentially confirming that he had to leave his daughter behind. [[spoiler:The very last clip reveals he also left a grandson named after him, implying his daughter was pregnant at the time of the recordings]].
-->'''E.J.R Recording:''' Job's done, Dad. Keep going and move on. I'm watching. And I'm proud. [[spoiler:Eric Jr., signing off]].

* You can talk to a young turian woman who is a part of an anti-AI group and find that her reason for hating AI is absolutely heartbreaking. She used to live on the Citadel with her two young sisters when the geth attacked, and the little girls were found [[AdultFear impaled together on a geth spike while they walked to school.]] You'd have to be heartless to blame her for hating all AI after hearing that.

*** Speaking of the mutation, the Nakmor clan was aware of it, and underwent gene therapy to enhance it. It worked! They improved the birth rate from one in a thousand... to four in a hundred.

* The fact that, due to the TimeSkip nature of the series, all those characters you came to know and love in the original series are dead, with the possible exceptions of Grunt, EDI, Liara, and possibly Javik (depending on Prothean lifespans and Javik's biological age). No matter what choices you made in the past or who you managed to save, Garrus, Tali, Mordin, Ashley, Kaiden, Jack, Miranda, Jacob, Joker, Kasumi, Zaeed, James, Hackett, Wrex, Samara (the latter two because they're both [[BadassGrandpa approaching the end]] of [[NeverMessWithGranny their species' natural lifespans]]), and just about anyone else you can think of are long since dead and gone by the time Ryder steps out of the cryopod.

*** [[spoiler:God, the ''look'' Ryder gives Alec when they meet up again after the explosion, a combination of "I'm sorry" and suffering from the unbreathable atmosphere. They both know Ryder will be dead in seconds and there's nothing Alec can do....except give him/her his helmet. But for those first few seconds, Alec was literally ForcedToWatch his son/daughter die in front of him.]]

So many things wrong with this particular entry, even for a purely subjective page. Strong language, poor grammar is a couple of segments, speculations about the reasons MEA wasn't a critical and commercial hit..... If anyone wishes to readdress the issue, please rewrite it in a way that doesn't sound so offensive.


* On a meta level, the confirmation that there is no single-player DLC to come for the game. This is a gut punch whether one liked the game, hated it or anywhere in-between. It's also sad because it's known that Bioware is capable of better quality games than the final product especially since it had a bigger budget and more time allotted to developing it than anything else in the Mass Effect franchise. All of this is before one considers the possibility that developing game quality was hobbled due to the the company's pursuit of [[ExecutiveMeddling corporate]] and/or [[FilibusterFreefall ideological]] agendas.
** For those who liked the game, they liked the game despite it's flaws (in a few cases they may not have even noticed the flaws or didn't think of them as flaws). They were likely out there defending the game to people who tore it to pieces. To see their efforts end like this is depressing and disheartening.
** For those who hated the game, many of them were excited for the game, or at least hopeful that it could revitalize the franchise. Then they saw the game and it's flaws, or didn't like certain aspects of it, and their hopes were dashed. God knows how much of the vitriol heaped on the game came from anger born of fans sorrow at how far the franchise had fallen or the problems with the game. To see their hopes dashed and see the effect of it is depressing and disheartening.
** For all other fans of the franchise, they fall anywhere between here but there is one thing all fans have in common; disappointment that, so far, however they felt about it, this game appears to be the death knell of the franchise.

* One sidequest on Voeld deals with Ryder finding a datapad from some angara in a cave. They've chased by the kett, who've already taken the rest of their family. Mom and dad have holed up in the cave, and their last daughter's gone on ahead. Mom and dad's recording explains how they can hear the kett outside. They know they're not getting away. And the daughter? [[spoiler:Ryder finds a datapad some ways off... and no sign of her. The datapad has the angara asking why this is even happening to them, her last words being to tell her now dead parents she loves them.]]
* Another sidequest has a group of angara resistence fighters going after the kett for revenge. Turns out a while back some kett forces had levelled an entire settlement, just to get at a few resistance troops. The fighters had been going after them, losing people one by one. Ryder eventually catches up to the last, having managed to get all the kett he attacked, at the cost of his own life.
