Most memorable opening line in a game
- Thread starter synulia
- Start date
"Ah, the Child of Bhaal has awoken, it is time for more....experiments"
Will remain in my head for all eternity.

Changed my mind.
Pretty much the entire opening sequence of "The Wind Waker"
The neat storybook thing with Zelda music slowly starting up in the background. Still my favorite Zelda of all time.

Wake up, Dr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.NZpablo said:
Got chills first time I heard that.
In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time.
They called it the greatest discovery in human history.
The civilizations of the galaxy call it... MASS EFFECT
Also,
Shieet. Looks like this is the end for Afro Samurai. You want to help him out? Be my guest. This has been a long time coming; Ive done all I can. See, me and him, we aint friends per se. I've just been hanging out, looking for a little action.
Between you and me, Ive been sorely disappointed. Only action hes been getting is his ass kicked. You think I should be watching his back? Fuck you. Ive been watching. Ive seen everything!
Both of them set the mood of the game perfectly and hooked me from the start.

15 years ago, there was a war...
Ace Combat 5. I'm rewatching the intro right now and it's giving me chills.

Classics like:
"War, war never changes." or "Wake up, there you go... You were dreaming. What's your name?"
Andrew Ryan elevator message from Bioshock.
"I remember the first time I died"
Also, not really the first line, but I remember it since the trailer: "This is Snake. Kept you waiting, huh?"

Die Waffen ? legt an!
ok, its not so much dialogue as part of the background music, but it was cool

I know it was mentioned earlier, but still I want to re-emphasise it.

The emotion in the Fleet Commander's voice (and near lack of emotion in Karan S'jet's voice - she is intergrated into the motherships computer after-all) always gets me, you can hear his voice crack when he is reading the casualty list. The song in the backgroud just made the whole thing surreal.
What was supposed to be a moment of triumph for their planet giving them a way to return to their ancestral homeworld went totally to hell, and reduced a planet sized population down to a few hundred thousand. One of the very few game/movie/book scenes that's gotten me to cry manly tears. It really set the tone for the rest of the game so well, you were totally rooting for the Hiigaran's and really absolutely hated the Taiidians.

Let me start by saying welcome to The Escapist. Stay away from the basement, even though those cookies are pretty damned tempting.Shinkicker444 said:
I've been looking for a new RTS (just bought Ruse to see if I'd like it) and one of my friends mentioned Homeworld. I actually never played it, I've heard amazing things about it, but in your opinion does it live up to the hype?
"Wake up Mr. Wayne... We have much to discuss..."
My jaw hit the floor at that point and I knew that, from that very first line on (post-Catwoman), this was going to be one of my favourite games of all time.

Hi, thanks for the welcome.bl4ckh4wk64 said:
I haven't played it for years (been meaning to reinstall it), but from what I remember the first game definitely did. The second was also great but not quite as good as the first. The story is quite the journey and is beautifully narrated with a great orchestral score backing it up (like the linked video). If you like FPS you should like Homeworld, although adding a 3rd axis to to play with took some getting used too initially. Graphically the game was ahead of its time, so it kind of stands up well even these days (that might be HW2 more then HW1 however). You can also get some interesting mods for the game, like Star Wars.

"32 years have pass since the Great War. The Shivan's vanished half a life-time ago, and now we live in the mausoleum of history. We inherit the legacy of ghosts that haunt these ruins, the elders call us 'The Lost Generation.'
I remember stories of a glorious civilisation. Of cities with spires that reach the sun. A blue planet with vast sea's. A people with myths of humanity everlasting. Of children who saw in the embers of dying stars the destiny of their race, and they hurled themselves in the void of space with no fear.
They say our people have no present. Only a past filled with horror, and a future they can only dream of. Now we forge a new alliance, to guard the tomb of space. To find within it's cold expanse the salvation of our race."

I loved FreeSpace even more then Homeworld. I hope to all that is holy that a 3rd game is made one day to finish off the story. But until that day we have an absolutely awesome mod community to keep things interesting for us. I'd highly recommend getting the installer off of Good old Games, and then get FreeSpace open and install all the mods. Its epic, especially the HD mods.
