Favorite Mass Effect Final Sequence/Mission

What is your favorite final sequence/mission in Mass Effect?

These can vary from when they start, but I will try to define them from the point of no return:

ME1: Dropping the mako on Illos to stop Saren from accessing the conduit

ME2: Entering the Omega Relay

ME3: Coming back to Earth with all of your war assets

MEA:  Returning to Khi Tasira before gathering the Remnant Fleet

You can also account for dlc if you would like as this did affect the overall outcome.  You can take into account story, presentation, level design, overall mission, boss, etc.


I ALLOWED FOR TWO CHOICES IN CASE YOU HAVE TWO FAVORITES THAT YOU JUST CANNOT CHOOSE BETWEEN GIVEN THERE ARE MANY FACTORS TO CONSIDER 


Personally, this is kind of a tough choice when taking into account everything besides just isolating by story, final outcome, mission design.  I love them all for their own strengths.  ME3 is usually the most hated because of the final 10 minutes, but that space battle, running to the transporter beam, and the horror of all the human bodies.  The lack of outcomes and an actual boss battle hold it back big time from ME2 though.  ME2 has the most outcomes but those outcomes are just limited to who lives vs who dies.  It's also on the smallest scale compared to any of the other games, the Human Reaper was an odd choice that doesn't fit well with the first or third games.

ME1 and MEA are very close to one another for me, but ultimately, I'm going with MEA.  ME1 was awesome doing a risky suicide drop from the Normandy in the Mako, seeing an ancient prothean city, driving through all the stasis pods chasing Saren, meeting Vigil, blasting through the conduit to the citadel, having the big space battle against Sovereign.  fighting outside in space on the citadel and fighting a reaper version of Saren after convincing him to stop/suicide.  

But MEA still beats it for me overall.  Getting lured into a trap and almost dying losing SAM, the main tool that helps you do almost anything, then realizing you have established a connection with the Remnant, fighting as Sara through the Hyperion to save Scott, then Scott raising an Army of Remnant, the epic space battle, diving into Meridian (ZOMG gorgeous), Dropping the Nomad and chasing the Archon with the most epic space battle taking place around you with all the choices and side content making a difference, Merdian underground is amazing, fighting the Behemoths or having Krogan allies, then having the Hyperion crashing which ups the stakes (we're fighting for our home), The Architect battle was still epic and having the entire squad show up in the physical fight was amazing, killing the archon was meh but his Hubris is what killed him like any indiana Jones villain so that was cool, Meridian going online bringing hope to Heleus, walking out with Bae, the epilogue although small in scale was emotionally perfect, reading all the emails in your Dad's quarters and listening to Liara's and your father's messages one last time was incredible, speaking to everyone was great too ending with a a great transition to the first dlc.
