Definitely from sword of truth, book 6, "Faith of the Fallen"
It was sooooo sad, he was probably my favorite character other than Rrichard and Kahlan, and maybe Cara, MAYBE.
Warren, he died like, 6 months after he got married trying to save a little girl, when he could have done it with magic and not even risked himself, god damn prophecy.
He shoulda survived. Greatest military mind of all time and they kill him off just before the greatest invasion of their galaxy of all time.JoeCool385 said:
Also, the death of Duriel. Because he drops absolute crap after one of the toughest fights in the game. I label him as harder than Baal, yet Baal drops soo much more.
Mufasa in the Lion King for me
...not so much for the death itself but for the way Simba kept trying to wake him up and then Scar toying with him "Ohhhhhhh what will your mother think?"
plus the music for that scene was perfect

Wasn't he the one who was killed by that guy bragg gave to the enforcers for murder?neffers said:
And then was killed while he manned an auto cannon?
I think I read that book...something to do with assassinating some important chaos space marine right?
The entire scene involving 'the first time' Jackie dies in The Darkness.
either that or when Harry died in Silent Hill 3.

Oh my God, this has seriously got to be the winner. I was VERY close to start crying (again) just by reading that.Egobrain said:

Seriously? You're a House fan and you're going with Kutner? I mean sure it was sad, but Ambers death was heartbreaking.esperandote said:
It's hard to choose.
S'all I can think of, off the top of my head.
EDIT: Can't believe I forgot the biggest one.
Yes, that MW2, don't get uppity. When Ghost gets shot by Shepherd, it's surprisingly sad. I can't say I was necessarily attached to his character, but he just got done dragging my sorry ass to safety, only to be betrayed. Doesn't help that you're too injured to save him in return.
When Uncle gets shot. Just kidding, John Marston. His death threw me into a "THERE IS NO JUSTICE" attitude and made me all mopey for the rest of the day.
Having to leave behind either Williams or Alenko. If that doesn't make you feel guilty, I wouldn't trust you with my own life. Not having a high enough paragon/renegade score to talk down Wrex is also particularly devastating if you know his character well enough, because it justifies his outrage on a level beyond a simple "I'm Krogan, therefore, this matters" explanation. Man, Virmire just plain sucks.
When a squadmate other than Miranda dies. If it's Miranda, then whatever, we'll get a special coffin made to accommodate her potato-shaped head and call it a day. If it's anyone else, then GOD DAMMIT WHY DIDN'T I SPEND MORE TIME GATHERING RESOURCES?! WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!
Oh, and I almost forgot... on Tali's loyalty mission: "Jonah, if you get this, stay strong for daddy! Mommy loves you very much!" Oh, man.

Sydney, Dogmeat, and Liam Neeson. The first two were my favorite non-story NPCs, but near-impossible to keep alive. Even though I didn't get too attached to Liam Neeson (it's less weird to refer to the character by the voice actor since I've already got a perfectly adequate father), his death still hurt, because hey, Liam Neeson, so he just barely qualifies.
Queen Himiko, or rather, the part immediately after her death. I admit, I don't really remember exactly what transpired, but the part where you have to travel on the dragon bridge to Oni island at sunset. The emotional buildup from her death, the music, and the imagery all combined together to be one of the most moving parts of a game that I've ever experienced. (If I messed this up, feel free to correct me, because I wouldn't mind remembering and a preliminary Google search was no help.)

Not the part I'm thinking of, but it certainly reminded me of it:ldbmikey86 said:
When Jenny dies. It was like being shot right through the heart.
Both of these. Aeris (no, I refuse to use the "th"), and Kamina were both really sad moments for me.RobotNinja said:
I will also mention that Zack's death in FF7 Crisis Core was really hard for me to watch without unleashing the waterworks.
Rolo's death. Sure he was a bastard, hell, I hated him after Shirly's death but his death was just so sad...

Shirley's death
In my eyes it was something akin to redemtion, so I didn't find it as sad as my example, but yeah everyone is different.Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:
I always felt that Arthas' fall in Warcraft was really tragic, and his final death in World of Warcraft made me sad.
