In this week's topic, The NPCs dig into their hearts and souls (or lack thereof) and decide on the top saddest deaths in gaming history. From the explosion-based loss of Mordin in Mass Effect 3 to the sword-through-the-heart death of Aerith in Final Fantasy VII, The NPCs mourn many a character... maybe one character in particular more than the others?
