A handful:
"The last day dawns on the kingdom of Ascalon. It arrives with no fanfare; no tolling of alarms. People carry on with their daily lives, unaware that in a short while everything they have ever known will come to an end." - Plays during the character intro of GW: Prophecies.
"Four years have passed since the mortal races banded together and stood united against the might of the Burning Legion. Though Azeroth was saved, the tenuous pact between the Horde and the Alliance has all but evaporated. The drums of war thunder once again." - Vanilla WoW intro cinematic.
"He carries his old life with him as a turtle does its shell." - Sten from Dragon Age: Origins
"Stop right there, criminal scum! Nobody breaks the law on my watch!..." - Every two-bit guard from Oblivion.
And a final line from WoW before it turned all mediocre and Cataclysm lore-rapey and Kung-Fu Panda-y (BUT HURRR, PANDAREN R LORE, BRAH):
"My son, the day you were born the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name Arthas. My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of righteousness. Remember: our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength, and I know you will show restraint when exercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this for, when my days have come to an end, you shall be King." - Terenas Menethil during the WOTLK Intro Cinematic.
