The atmospheric bits on the Citadel were _great_, the conversations aren't tear jerking, but they are a little... heart panging. And some of the minor bits if you paid attention to stuff in ME _kick you in the ribs_ when you least expect it. Like the above Charr example. The worst one though, for me, was when I realized that Dorn'Hazt, (On the quarian Rannoch mission) is the father of the same kid whose mother you hear getting killed in Tali's mission back in ME2. (I think that's vague and minor enough to not be a spoiler).
Also, you can't save everyone you've ever met. No matter how hard you try.
@darkseraph: What you did was probably pretty ideal. You've probably seen the bad-case scenario, now you get to do a the little bits and have a lot of new stuff come at you in your second playthrough. (Me, I purposely did a male shep first so I have Jennifer Hale's voice acting to look forward to on my second playthrough >.>).
