"oh master, I love you, but I hate everything you stand for, lets go press our squishy organic lips together in the cargo hold"
- HK-47, impersonating Bastila in KOTOR 2
"Should anything happen to me, Claudia. Should my skills fail me or my ambition lead me astray do not seek retribution or revenge in my memory but fight to continue the search for truth so that all may benefit. My story is one of many thousands and the world will not suffer if it ends too soon."
-Ezio Auditore da Firenze, AC: Revelations
"History abhors a paradox."
- Raziel, Soul Reaver 2
Those are definitely a couple of my favourites. I probably have a few more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
Some great quotes here...though I do think Andrew Ryan's are a bit overused. Besides, I'm definitely no fan of Ayn Rand. Anyways!
"The world ends with you."
Sanae Hanekoma, TWEWY, DS.
"They are not yet tired of war. Far from it. Do you know the ancient Nord word for war? "Season unending"...so it has proved."
Arngeir, TESV: Skyrim
EDIT: Two more. If I think of any more, I'll post them here.
Heavy: "Doctor! Are you sure this will work?"
Medic: "Hah haah! I have no idea!"
Meet the Medic, TF2
Hell, the entirety of that video has so many memorable quotes....Actually...yeah, I'm just gonna post it here.
This next quote says pretty much everything I think about gender equality in video games:
Holly Summers: "What is this?...This is not mercy; you cannot kill a woman. Pathetic; if you can't kill a woman, you are less than a thug. You'll never make it to the top. That's okay; I seem to have a thing for stupid, pathetic men like you. I can accept defeat if it comes from your hand. I'll let you in on a secret: assassins must die when they lose. Open your eyes and never look back. Promise; never forget me." *pulls out a grenade*
Travis: "Huh?"
Holly Summers: "Thank you. The moment you hesitated, I felt your embrace." *pulls out pin*
Travis: "Hold up!"
Holly Summers: "Academics like to fantasize, too, you know?" *soft giggle, puts grenade in mouth*
Travis: "Wait! Number Six! NOO!"
Holly Summers: *BOOM!!*
Travis: "Forgive me, Number Six. I never meant to shame you... *hugs corpse*
...
Travis: "Forgive me, Holly. I was late in saying this, but I love your soul. Rest in peace."
Holly Summers, Rank Battle No. 6, No More Heroes, Wii
Metal Gear Solid has a LOT of dialogue, but if I had to pick my favorite, it's probably this...
"It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others and believing in your own... Isn't that... what... you fought for? At last, I understand the meaning of what you did... At last, I understand the truth behind your courage." - Big Boss
"Endure. In enduring, grow strong." Dak'kon, Planescape: Torment.
Something that's always stuck with me for some reason. It's funny to think of a quote from a game when you are down on your luck and get a bit of hope from it.
There's three that kind of tie for me. Two from Mass Effect that have already been mentioned "I don't need luck, I have ammo" and "Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong" and another from the first Deus Ex "Bravery is not a function of firepower", which no one seems to remember.
