The first time a Reaper Leviathan attacks you in Subnautica.

The first time you launch a rocket in Factorio.

The first time you do a bunch of stuff in KSP.

Landing on the Mun was the first time I've ever jumped out of my chair and done a victory dance while gaming.

All of these are great picks. I'll add:

"It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong."

”It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong”

This is even worse if you take the Renegade action, which tries to stop him from going up the tower to launch the cure. Shepard whips out a heavy pistol and shoots him as he’s getting into the elevator. He dies before ever being able to trigger the launch. But Shepard doesn’t just whip out any pistol. Shepard doesn’t even whip out the pistol you currently have equipped. No, that wouldn’t have enough symbolism…

Shepard specifically uses the M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon. If you think back to when you first met him on Omega, he was the one who originally gave Shepard that gun.

Can't remember which edition of Fallout it was, but my first Deathclaw encounter was almost as scary as the Reaper Leviathan. But RL still wins.

Yeah, the game is designed in a way where your first encounter with a Reaper is probably going to be when you’re in a Seamoth. And you probably won’t have the electric shock module to shake the reaper off. It’s the best combo of “let the player potentially escape the attack” and “make the player feel completely powerless to fight back.” It’s also a great reminder that there is always a bigger fish, because the player usually feels pretty confident with cruising around after they build their first Seamoth.

I met the Reapers long before I had a Seamoth when I played :(

Terrifying game.
