Jack at the end of her personal mission to understand why her future was forever ruined during her childhood. Luckily for me I grabbed my iPhone just in time to catch this.
This otherwise fleeting instance at the end of her mission is the most vulnerable, humanistic moment that the story shows of her. That look on her face alone expresses everything she has ever lived through - and survived - in her life, down to her "souvenir" tattoos. I teared up watching it.
A powerful example of the level of production quality in this game.
Beautiful direction, cinematography, lighting, composition, and "acting". Gaming at its very finest today.

Mass Effect 2 is, for those of you who hadn't heard of it, an action role-playing game on the caliber of some of the very best science fiction that explores deep philosophical, political, social, and ethical issues - racism, sexuality, human rights (or species rights in this case), genetic experiments, identity, humanity. A sometimes difficult game to play in terms of choices and consequences.
These are the things we must all confront and address as a species if we are to grow and flourish and survive. It may start out as a game, but there is nothing game about what the experience speaks to us about.
