I love Garrus.

The "you're not alone" scene in Final Fantasy IX. If you're not sure what that is, it's the scene in disk 3 after
Yes, it was very cheesy but the music just made it immense.
Zidane finds out he's a genome clone and gets depressed, tries to fight Garland but gets knocked out and wakes up in a chair all moody and punches Vivi. Then he gets into a fight and all his friends come to help him.

Damn, I got ninja'd. And on LoD, no less! D:Steve B said:
I love Lavitz. His Additions were ridiculous sometimes, but he was a great guy. Replaying LoD right now, still on the first disc, but aggh now that you've reminded me I dunno if I want to continue.
Another one for me are the post-final-boss stuff in Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. In the first one, Felix (who's a bit of an antagonist, though he becomes the protagonist in TLA) tries to save a girl who's about to fall off a lighthouse. When she slips, he DIVES AFTER HER. What a move. Then, in The Lost Age, after beating a giant three-headed Doom Dragon, you find out...
The dragon was actually Isaac's dad, who was thought to be dead in the prologue of the first game, and Jenna's parents, who died in the same storm.
...I loved that point in the story because it made me so happy, but then I realized what bad stuff was about to happen.
...And then it gave me a password after the game had finished, and I had to wait until THIS YEAR to even hear about a third game, and BOOM, Dark Dawn. ...hope it's good.
Oblivion, the quest where you have to investigate the disappearance of the daughter of a shop-owner. Walking through the dark woods only to find a f*cked-up town filled with dirty villagers with a hostile attitude towards outsiders, coupled with the creepy cave-dwellers that attacked you in your sleep made this one of the most memorable moments from oblivion.
Pretty much anything from Mother 3, but especially
Flawed heroes (although yeah, Flint is basically only a minor hero in the story) are infinitely more interesting, and scenes where these flaws turn a hero, for however briefly, into someone who is in the wrong and must be stopped are pretty powerful.
Along these same lines, as much as I liked Final Fantasy 4 I always felt it would have been much more interesting if Cecil had started out genuinely evil or at least heartless, and then gradually worked his way toward the ordeal that made him a paladin...
the scene where Flint loses control out of grief and anger at his wife's death, lashing out physically at his own friends and neighbors.

For me it's Deus Ex, when you meet up with your brother and find out what he's been doing all along whilst supposedly being an anti-terrorist agent.
Well, that and the bit where you try escort him out of the hotel. If of course you decided to fight by his side and not escape out of the window and run away like a little girl.

Romancing Morrigan in Dragon Age Origins was pretty much win for me throughout the whole game,including the ending.
First thing that came to mind:
During a game of AD&D a few years back (one in which the DM allowed us to be damn near anything we wanted to be), our 7-foot-tall, 500lb Barbarian with 30 strength used a bear cub to club its own mother to death, coining the phrase "How much damage does a bear do?".
Aside from that...

Oh man, I'm really happy that you like LoD. I rarely ever find people that like that game.Easily Forgotten said:Damn, I got ninja'd. And on LoD, no less! D:

On the other side of the coin, I am constantly barraged by people telling me Golden Sun is perfect, and yet I've never played it... maybe I should.
