No Mordin's death felt fine and justified to me, although his 180 regarding his genophage work was disconcerting, but I suppose made sense based on Maelon's interactions with him in the loyalty mission.

But the Virmire choice - the idea that you will definitively lose someone, with no way to prevent that, and it not being a plot influenced decision - they all combined to make it THe single hardest decision in the entire trilogy. I mean I never balked at curing the genophage, and I always worked to unite the quarians and geth, and I always did the work to survive the Suicide Mission, so they arent comparable in any way. A good way of implementing it would be leaving someone behind to cover your escape from the Reapers or Collectors somewhere, knowing full well they could die horribly.
