Fictional Deaths that you mourned (warning, possible spoilers)

[Thaius]

Well I hate spoilers, but it seems Aerith (yes, her name is actually Aerith) has already been spoiled all over this forum. So yeah, her death hit me pretty hard. But... SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS - the hardest fictional death of all time for me was in an anime called Clannad. The second series, to be precise: Clannad After Story. One of the main characters died, and the following events kept me bawling for the last 15 episodes of the show. And I don't cry easily. That show was freaking amazing.

that son of a ***** George RR Martin keeps killing off some of the best caricters. not going to name names though because not everyone has read the books.

Ninja'd.

However, take heart in the fact that

Spoiler

Sandor Clegane is still alive.

 

[Artemis923]

That and Big Boss in MGS4.

Hrrm. Much thanks for not putting that in a SPOILER BOX.

Games:
Father from Fallout 3, sure it was a crappy Bethesda gimmick moment (like the death of Uriel Septim VII in Oblivion), but dang, he was so nice, and so caring.

The party member you must choose to kill (not the one you have a possibility of averting) from Mass Effect, their death scenes are very touching and truly make you question your choice. Also the death of Saren if you manage to convince him to kill himself, he thanks you before he pulls the trigger.

A death scene that doesn't really qualify as a scene but, in the Darkness, when you go to the Otherworld, there is a horse there whose mouth has been cut off and a basket full of apples in front of him, he's meant to represent famine, I put it out of its misery every time.

sgt johnson from halo 3

Colm Corbec and Agun Soric were depressing. Colm held the Ghosts together and Agun was just doing his best to keep his unit alive.

Corbec especially, but Bragg and Caffran were pretty depressing too.

off topic: Good to know there are Ghost fans on this forum

 

[Pandalisk]

Ohhhh grey stache! why!? i think i may cry again.

 

[Vuljatar]

That and Big Boss in MGS4.

Hrrm. Much thanks for not putting that in a SPOILER BOX.

The thread has a spoiler tag on it.

 

[MCDeltaT]

Zack from Final Fantasy Crisis Core.

I knew he was going to die but i didn't realise how dragged out it was going to be.

But for some reason it affected me.

 

[blade2k]

Sev from Republic Commando, that one really had an effect

 

[Guitar Gamer]

I cried when

Spoiler: Most people probably already know this but I am spoiling it just in case.

Sirius Black died in Harry Potter. I was literally in tears and was so angry at JK Rowling. Not one tear fell for Dumbledore though.

how could you not even whimper for a man who

Spoiler

hires so obvios sinister teachers every year? the man is so trusting I couldn't help but love his innocent ignorence

as for me well, I get pretty pissed when dogmeat dies (in fallout 3) so much that I'll go back a level to keep him alive, also I don't have broken steel so that new perk wont do

Spoiler: lord of the rings

when gandalf dies in moria I literally whimperd, of course that lovely deus ex machina that brings him back helped that

 

[bodyklok]

The death of Boss from mgs3.

That and Big Boss in MGS4.

^This, and I almost cried (manly tears) when Gaz died in COD4.

 

[Artemis923]

Sure, but I bet if you had just been told the death of one of YOUR favorite characters, you'd be annoyed too.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

SPOILER-Roman from GTA 4. He didn't deserve his death.

SPOILER-Roman from GTA 4. He didn't deserve his death.

"cousin, want to visit my grave?"
"cousin we should see the beeg american maggots on des coprse next to me"
"cousin want to go undead bowling?"

snipped for spoilers' sake

Man, I'd forgotten about that. Best/saddest ending to one of the best FPSs I've ever played.

Anyway:From games:

Spoiler: Mass Effect

Kaiden or Ashely. They were my two least favorite characters (although they've both since grown on me), but it was still a gut-wrenching moment.

Also, the suicides of Fai Dan and Saren.

From books:

Spoiler: Honor Harrington

Alistair McKeon's death at the end of At All Costs. By all accounts the most major secondary character, he'd been there from the beginning, starting as a Lieutenant Commander, dying as a Vice Admiral at the Battle of Manticore. Same goes for Andreas Venizelos a few books earlier. And you just know that Andrew Lafollet is going to die in the next book, he's escaped death too long when others, like Mattingly, died.

 

[Hexadecimal]

Fred Weasley and Dobby from Harry Potter.
Bruno and Shmuel from The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.
Henry DeTamble from the Time Traveler's Wife.
Amber and Kutner from House.
Charlie from Lost.

Also, this one time a friend convinced me that Wilson died in the House S5 finale (I had not watched it yet) and I started crying. I hated her for a week after actually watching it.
