Even though I disliked her, I felt a pang of guilt when Miranda didn't make it out of the suicide mission in ME2. She was the only one to die, and I felt it was because I was more distanced from her than any other character. I failed to maintain her loyalty when she was arguing with jack, and I sorta knew before I started the mission that she wouldn't make it. I left the collector base with a heavy heart that day.
I had a reverse situation. I had full loyalty on EVERYONE, then Jack and Miranda got into a stupid cat fight, I told Miranda to piss off, she was ruining my hard work on showing Jack that there IS good in the world, and lost Miranda's loyalty.
Then, in the mission, I was gonna choose Garrus to lead the fire team, but Miranda INSISTED she take the lead. I gave it to her. ...As a result, the tech guy (not tali, the other one) DIED. I was upset. Then I found out that it was only because miranda had no loyalty. I was furious, and ended up redoing the mission, picking Garrus this time. This time, everyone made it.
Although I REALLY wouldn't have been upset if Miranda had died. Her "superior to thou" attitude was really starting to get on my nerves.
And I went for Tali too. Siding with her when the inevitable Ash VS Tali fight happens. Ash turned her back on me, but Tali believe in me even though she had even MORE reason to hate Cerberus that Ash did.

Also, thinking about it, I have never cried for any media (books, games, movies, etc)....but the only time I ever came close was the end of Toy story 3. ;_; That was too sweet, with a tang of bitter.
