The first time a video game made my eyes leak. I love Mordin, he's a treasured favorite. This needed to be carried over from the (old) Twitter Thread: (Couldn't find source.)I know he has a different voice in ME3, but at least his new one is also Rigby. And Reverend Putty.

^ that beach drawing is fantastic.
I don't cry often but Mordin made me cry, that bastard. He is one of the few new ME2 characters I loved.

Yeah, Mordin and Thane. Jeez!!! When Kolyat said his prayer was for Shepard not Thane. Or Mordin's, "had to be me, someone else might've gotten it wrong." Ah, noooo! LOL. Worse part was when Mordin started singing while he was in that tower. I am the very model of a scientist sal-*BOOM* :'( I remember being so pissed at Wrex because right after he pokes fun and says he'll name a girl after Mordin and laughs. I actually yelled at him "Too soon, Wrex!" I could barely see through the tears. Mordin was a great character.

Oh man, I was losing my mind when Shepard was repeatedly being given credit for curing the genophage. Kept yelling, "Mordin. It was Mordin. MORDIN! SAY IT WITH ME...MOR-DIN that cured the genophage!" The ego stroking for Shepard was driving me so nuts that I was grateful that any credit was being given to him. Let's give a salute to this crazy salarian we love so much!

I'm playing through the ME trilogy for the first time and I got that scene yesterday. I actually didn't expect it, when the tower exploded I screamed, and then I cried. For hours. Then I resorted to wine and ice cream.
I'd say that Mordin is my favourite ME character. He's smart, funny, insightful, and has a great character arc. And I felt protective of him, too, somehow. He was the crew member I spoke to the most in ME2 and he felt like family to my Shepard.
Anyway, I refuse to accept this fate, I'm going to replay it and save him now.

And THEN, when Liara (was it Liara?) asks Shepard what's on her mind, the dialogue choice that comes up is "I miss Ashley"?!? I mean, what....?? So while Shepard's mumbling "nothing", I'm screaming at the monitor, "I don't bloody care about Ashley!!" (Sorry to Ashley fans.)

I didn't like being made to be super upset about Ash when we had just gone through Mordin's mission. I wish we could have the option to choose. Oh well. Let's enjoy some Mordin singing.

That WAS bizarre for Shepard to reminisce about Ashley right after the Tuchanka mission. Same for those who lose Thane and can only talk about Ashley/Kaidan with Garrus. All I can say is that it could have been lack of time to take in all accounts but damn, saying that gets more and more frequent the further the game is played. Does anyone have Mordin's song as a ringtone? Where can we get it if it exists?

It feels like the number of scenes and companion comments just on Kaidan getting hurt is pretty disproportionate. Maybe they ran out of time as you say. Comparing it to DAI, I would say that it was much better handled there, it felt as though most companions got more or less equal treatment in DAI.

I saw a video years ago (can't find it now) where, in that talk with Liara, femShepard was able to mention missing romanced-Jacob who died in the Suicide Mission rather than just the VS. I wonder if that's the case with every ME2 romance that dies? Spoiler because this more off-topic. Something I found to be screwed up: Kaidan will mention/miss Ashley more than Ashley mentions/misses Kaidan. I'm not sure she actually ever even does mention him.

Quick question: Anyone agree that the most terrifying moment is to wake up to Mordin standing over you to ask YOU if humans have three livers? Especially if you've suspected afterwards that he experimented on you while you slept? Poor Joker, I really would have that bump on your elbow looked at by Chakwas.

Mordin is hands down the best character in the series.
Kudos to whoever wrote him, even if it was that doofus Walters.

I wasn't such a big fan of Mordin in ME3 as in ME2. Probably because of the VA changing. I know it's a small thing, but I found it quite jarring.

I have a lot of favorite characters and i often have a hard time ranking them. The way i finally realized that Mordin was near the top of my list was thinking about all the characters who died in 3. Mordin, Thane, Legion, EDI. While i felt extreme sadness over them all only Mordin made me cry. If a fictional character's death can make me cry then i know i love them. The damn smile at the end.

Funny enough, Wreav shows some respect for Mordin, though ultimately says no one will ever know a salarian cured the genophage.

Mordin's paragon death had me smiling and crying at the same time because his sacrifice was so fitting and I was just so damn proud of him. It was pretty much the emotional highlight of the game for me.
I also loved this conversation on Tuchanka in ME2 where he explained that he worked on the Genophage to save the Krogan. Whether you agreed with him or not it was a powerful moment. I shared it in the 50 feels thread also.

nxp5: I like the artwork. Makes me imagine that, following a Renegade Shepard/Mordin walks away that he does, eventually, cure the genophage. Nothing to stop him post-war.

I love Mordin, possibly my favourite ME2 character overall. Great dialogue, especially during his loyalty mission. He was part of my Team Squishy that took down the final boss (Mordin, Tali, adept Shepard) because I didn't want to let him out of my sight in case he died.
