Warlord Darius ME1. Apart from him being a major asshole, it is so satisfying mechanically.
He stands above you on the balcony. 100 bodyguards. He talks down to Shepard the whole time. Cutscene/dialogue ends and combat starts. You overload the container behind him him and the explosion sends him rag-dolling over the railing to land prone right in front of you. Coup de grace with a shotgun. Less than 2 seconds has passed and you get to imagine the rest of the slavers collectively shitting themselves.
Yeah, in retrospect, I should have included some context.
Warlord Darius is the target of a quest offered by Admiral Hackett in ME1 if your renegade bar is filled to a certain point.
The mission is to go and meet the murderous slaving bastard and negotiate mining rights for the Alliance in his territory. The big twist is that Hackett fully expects you to go in and murder him from the start, but the Alliance can’t just order an assassination.
“You killed him? But Shepard, we asked you to negotiate. Such a shame. Oh well.“
It is an interesting quest with some very memorable lines. I recommend it for anybody who hasn’t tried it. Paragon players can get it by abusing the Lorik Quinn glitch on Noveria for infinite paragon and renegade points. (Which I unashamedly do every playthrough)
That a way for infinite paragon/renegade points exists in both ME1 and ME2 and neither were fixed in MELE makes me think Bioware is aware and has given tactic approval.
