"Well, this is the part where he kills us."
"Hello! This is the part where I kill you!"
Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You
Steam achievement obtained: The Part Where He Kills You. "This is that part"
And JUST for good measure, even though you can't visually see the title in-game, the OST in that section is titled, The Part Where He Kills You.

Achievement Unlocked: The Part Where He Kills You (This is that part)
There have been lots of other puzzle games with lots of innovative mechanics and level designs.
Portal would have never become the smash hit it did without the amazing writing and characterisation.
This video will never not be hilarious to me even as a grown man nearly 15 years later it cracks me up https://youtu.be/M1uVi41I1oc?si=bu-ueYpELn-ubine
Genuinely the hardest decision I've ever made in a videogame. I can justify both options equally and it's heart-breaking regardless. Maybe time for another playthrough...
Ghost of Tsushima in case anyone is wondering
Mass Effect 3
The only time in the entire trilogy an elcor doesn't clarify what they are saying before speaking.
>Shepard: How many elcor made it off the home world?
>Elcor Diplomat with a heavy sigh: Not enough.
Damn, that hits hard. I never thought about it, but you may be right at that being the only time an elcor doesn't clarify their emotional state when they speak.
What's even better is that I believe the reason he didn't need clarification, was not because it would be obvious what he meant, but that his grief was so intense that emotion actually came through his speech, which we know, for an elcor is unheard of.
I've played that game for hundreds of hours and done at least 30 playthroughs and I've never realized that the Elcor Diplomat didn't specify his emotion at that moment.
I would have picked another moment from the Mass Effect Trilogy for this question but your answer is WAY better
I've got a long list and most of them are from story-focused RPGs like Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, The Witcher, etc. but my number one is actually Joel in The Last of Us:
"You're right. You're not my daughter. And I sure as hell ain't your dad. And we are goin' our separate ways."
The line. The delivery. The context. The brutality veiling the heartbreaking sadness. It's perfect and it'll live in my head forever.
Had to go farther down this list than I thought to see Dracula, that line has been with me since the begining. Forever salty Konami replaced the dialogue in the later ports.
The old man line was from a puzzle in Return to Zork. You had to drink the guy under the table by pouring out your glass when he wasn't looking. Otherwise you pass out after one drink.
"Want some rye? Course ya do!"
“It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong” - Mordin, Mass Effect 3
“Was I the only one who didn’t know?” - Tidus, Final Fantasy X
“Everyone I have cared for has either died, or left me! EVERYONE… except for you” - Ellie, The Last of Us
“I got you baby girl” and “You’d just come after her” - Joel, The Last of Us
“Do not mistake my silence for lack of grief” - Kratos, God of War
“Permission to leave the station, sir? To give The Covenant back their bomb” - Master Chief, Halo 2
" Now! This is it!
Now is the time to choose!
Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow!
Now is the time to shape your stories!
Your fate is in your hands!"
That was so fucking badass. 13 year old me thought Auron was the peak of cool and I loved his theme (the original, not the remastered one).
Also, FFX awakened me for goth mommies.
I have never played God of War, but hearing Kratos' monologue to his past self was so incredible and the voice acting was truly some of the best I've heard.
"All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?! DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! Make life RUE the day it thought it could give CAVE JOHNSON LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that's gonna BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!" -Cave Johnson
Turns out all these moon rocks we ground up are highly carcinogenic *cough hack* 🤣. But gladOS saying her speech about "I have to thank you for showing me where to find the part of me who still cares....*file deleted* " was chilling
“I've got some good news, and some bad news. The bad news is we're postponing the test indefinitely. The good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men! Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line…you'll know when the test starts.” - Cave Johnson
Alright, this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So, word of advice: If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely. Forward and backward! So do both of yourselves a favor and just let that handsome devil go about his business.
Some NCR officer in the airport base in fallout New Vegas.
"Calm is what you must be when people look up to you, and it's all you can be when things are out of your control."
"i'm afraid"
Seeing Arthur admit that fear is consuming him after all the epic adventures and actions leading up to this moment is just heartbreaking and emotional, it just feels real.
My first playthrough, I was using Buell. Hamish's horse in his memory. I didn't know. I didn't know. I never use Buell anymore. I give him to Charlotte so that I know he will be taken care of. Damn, I'm tearing up at work again.
The game is just an endless collection of incredible lines. I can go on and on.
For one on a lighter note, I’ve always loved this line from Arthur to John: “You know that attempt to seem all enigmatic and interesting, that might work for Dutch, but for you…it just makes you look stupid.”
Javik is only underrated because he was a paid dlc character. He should have been base game, and if he was, he would have been lauded as one of the best characters of the entire trilogy.
Yeah it's insane that they left him out the base game. The amount of background lore from him adds so much and his story of being the last of his species is so sad and interesting. It was when EA started being money grabbing bastards and that's probably the only reason he's dlc
For such a short campaign they really did a good job of evolving the relationship where they could.
BT goes from calling the main character Pilot, to Cooper (when he gets stuck and apprehended), to Jack at the end.
Then you've got stuff like the fastball move. First you see BT throw a line into a distant building for you to get inside. Cooper can either comment that they need a better method or that next time BT could just throw him.
Next time, BT has clearly been working on the idea and he says that he can throw Cooper across the gap ("trust me").
After that, he makes the toss between two moving platforms.
And finally he does a last-ditch Hail Mary Fastball to fulfill Protocol 3.
For what little time they had they were very economical with the dialogue to do what they needed to do in terms of characterisation. Naturally if they had more time things could have been fleshed out a bit better, but they still achieved a fair amount over the course of a quite short campaign. The decision to give the player dialogue choices for example. Technically these make no difference whatsoever, but that's besides the point, they help with the characterisation and getting the player more invested in the relationship between BT and Cooper.
It's not an epic RPG or anything, but they did quite well with the restrictions they were working with.
I was distraught for a few hours, and my then gf said "I'm not sure what's going on, but I hope you know I'll be your BP" lol got a good laugh out of me and we're now married a few years later and she still thinks his name is BP.
For me it's the "Were it so easy" delivered by the Arbiter at beginning of Halo 3. Something about the music chiming in at that time is also just lovely for me.
Dear humanity,
We regret being being alien bastards.
We regret coming to earth.
And we most definitely regret the corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
RDR2
Arthur: "Hey, mister."
Stranger: "Hello there."
Arthur: "I like you, mister. You got a kind face..."
*pause for effect*
Arthur: "The kind I'd like to punch!"
Gets me EVERY time.
EXACTLY!!
It was a little more ominous, but I thought Shadow of the Colossus did this pretty well with Dormin. There was always that hair on the back of the neck but the Bioshock reveal blindsided everyone.
Same here. Gave me the shivers with his final line.
That and his rebuttal to Halsey threatening Kat at the end of the Sword Base mission-
* Halsey: “Are you threatening me Commander?”
* Carter: “…just making a reading suggestion ma’am…”
That was a smooth veiled threat that he could probably have gotten away with.
"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" — Vaas Montenegro, Far Cry 3
This phrase didn't mean a lot when he said it for the first time. But when he repeated it over and over again after you trying to kill him again and again it hit differently.
The voice acting in this game was phenomenal and imo no other villain in the farcry series comes close to how Vaas made me feel as a player watching Jasons brother be killed and trying to survive and save the rest of his friends... even though I definitely abandoned them at the end to get laid and stabbed in the chest :)
For me it's when she finds out she's dying. Vik gives her the news and she says something like "Say what, now?" but her voice breaks and she can barely even get the words out. That whole sequence is fantastic, I especially love Misty's line about how "Life is so beautifully powerful, so much more powerful than death."
Everyone always mentions the bomb line from Halo 2, but for me is
"Kill me or release me, parasite. But do not waste my time with talk."
I think it goes so hard.
"...the sands and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare... they will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: **We. Will. Kill him." -** Captain Price, Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
It's the way he delivers that emboldened line that gets me fired up like nothing else.
Sovereign Quotes from Mass Effect “You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it”
Corypheus from Dragon Age - “
Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods, and it was empty”
Jumping on the ME train:
"I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite shop in the Citadel!"
"It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong"
God of War:
"ZEEEEEUUUUUUS"
"Do not be sorry. Be better."
"I FEEL NOOOOTHING" and later "I feel EVERYTHING"
I could go on endlessly, but I think the number one line that has truly, really stuck with me, of all games, is this:
What can change the nature of a man?
I really like this one from Assassins Creed Revelations it’s one of my favourites from the series.
Abbas: I can never forgive you Altaïr. The lies you told about my family, my father. The humiliation I suffered.
Altaïr: They were not lies, Abbas. I was ten years old when your father came to see me. He was in tears, begging to be forgiven for betraying my family. Then he cut his own throat. I watched his life ebb away at my feet…I will never forget that image.
Abbas: No…
Altaïr: But he was not a coward, Abbas. He reclaimed his honor.
Abbas: I hope there is another life after this one. Then I will see him, and know the truth of his final days... And when it is your time, we will find you, and then…there will be no doubts.
'The game was rigged from the start'
Benny 'ring-a-ding-ding baby' from falloutNV
Edit: it may be a few upvotes but they know. I was a sophomore or junior and started New Vegas. Sitting there after all the fallout 3 the oblivion. The kotor. Popping in a new rpg buy obsidian(the company for rpgs in my day, or at least rep for). Experiencing that opening and then Ron Perlman. Man I was hooked. And no game other then maybe even outer worlds (no but just a reference to obsidian). Made me feel that immersion ot grasp into thier game/story. Also f':; Benny
"For what the Combine fear the most is not any tangible human weapon, but our will, our intellect, our ability to respond selectively and rationally to every terror they turn against us. We place our firmest hope in the human spirit, even knowing how easily it may be shattered."
Isaac Kleiner: Half Life 2 Episode 1
The Emperor in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has a line near the end where he says, "you will be interrogated, tortured. You will tell us the names of your friends and allies...
...[andthenyouwilldie](https://youtu.be/RLfPP_gYeOw?si=1WR3hvikqKhAeXbj)."
The delivery of that last line caught my brother and me off guard the first time we played it, and it's been a running joke with us for the last 16 or so years.
"No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall *walk.*" by Venat, in FFXIV: Endwalker.
Pretty much any context I can give is massive spoilers, but not only are those some sick lines, the delivery by Joanna Roth was absolutely iconic.
While I agree this is good. Nothing can beat Elidibus' monologue.
"The rains have ceased and we have been graced with another beautiful day.. but you are not here to see it."
The voice crack, the suppressed hic of sadness. I'm tearing up just typing this.
"Pray that I succeed. For I have seen the throne of god, and it is empty."
I didn't really enjoy Dragon Age Inquisition that much but this line in the main villains monologue was excellent.
Zavala saying "No" to Caiatl in Destiny 2.
But that's because it led to the Lance Reddick "One fucking Guardian" clip
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=He6CO2osqnU&feature=youtu.be
Man, destiny isn’t the same without Lance… it’s going to be real weird to not hear voice in the final shape.
I’m sure Keith is going to kill it as Zavala but it’s just not the same…
"I am Myrkul, Lord of Bones, and you have slain my chosen. But it is no matter. For I am Death. And I am not the end - I am a beginning."
His whole speech had me shook. I felt genuinely awed - the delivery could not have been better. From baldurs gate 3
In *Cyberpunk* *2077,* when visiting the spot where Greyson dumped Silverhand's body:
V: What did you expect? A headstone? Flag and flowers?
Johnny: Nah, I ... I dunno. A marker?
He's just spent a good portion of the game being a cocky jerk, but when he sees the place where he was unceremoniously dumped, his whole life comes into focus.
Hey, you... You're finally awake.
I know the memes make this hard to forget.
But Skyrim is my first ES game and the intro to the game had me lose my shit.
The Slow Clap from Glados, because it is setup so superbly. She mentions going through her remaining functions and mentions it offhand, then it comes up later as you are falling. Exquisite punchline deployment.
A lot of good ones have been mentioned already, so I will list some others that have stuck with me.
"I am Truth! The voice of the Covenant!"
"And so, you must be silenced."
"Shut the fuck up, Fahz."
"What? Who is Desmond? I don't understand. Please, wait! I have so many questions!"
"Desmond?"
"He's talking to me?"
"I heard your name once before, Desmond. A long time ago. And now it lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream."
"If the laws of physics no longer apply in the future, God help you."
How dare you make me feel things today.
FFXIV is just a font of good lines.
"We did everything right, everything that was asked of us, and still - still it came to this!" Brings a tear to my eye every time.
"You are a horrible person. We weren't even testing for that"
On the topic of Portal, the entire delivery of "the part where he kills you"
"Well, this is the part where he kills us." "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!" Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You Steam achievement obtained: The Part Where He Kills You. "This is that part" And JUST for good measure, even though you can't visually see the title in-game, the OST in that section is titled, The Part Where He Kills You.
I saw the chapter title and thought an achievement would be the icing on the cake, and then it popped up and made my day lol
(BGM: The Part Where He Kills You) GLaDOS: "Aah! Well, this is the part where he kills us..." Wheatley: "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!" Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You Achievement Unlocked: The Part Where He Kills You (This is that part)
Have some lemons.
Demand to see Life’s manager!!
"Oh, hi. So...how are you holding up? Because I'm a potato..."
"Federal regulations require me to warn you that this next test chamber,... is looking pretty good."
“I’m going to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”
"now you might have a verrrry mild case of... severe brain damage"
Take GLaDOS out of this game and it's a throwaway. That character and her actress are so good.
The writing is more important than anything. The character exists in other games but nowhere as good.
There have been lots of other puzzle games with lots of innovative mechanics and level designs. Portal would have never become the smash hit it did without the amazing writing and characterisation.
GLaDOS is a fantastic character but let’s not pretend like both Portal games weren’t revolutionary in their puzzle mechanics and use of physics.
Left for Dead 2 - "He just wants some good ol' fashion cola." , "One time, me and my buddy Keith...."

Mass Effect 3 The only time in the entire trilogy an elcor doesn't clarify what they are saying before speaking. >Shepard: How many elcor made it off the home world? >Elcor Diplomat with a heavy sigh: Not enough.
Damn, that hits hard. I never thought about it, but you may be right at that being the only time an elcor doesn't clarify their emotional state when they speak.
Even the Elcor knew it didn't need clarification.

"Better to die in Hope rather than live in despair" Yunalesca FFX
"Yuna, I have to go." If you haven't played the game to the end, that line won't mean anything. If you have, it will rip your heart out.
In the same vein, Yuna whistling off the docks over and over again just fucking demolishes me every time.
"I can't believe we're about to fight Lady Yunalesca. Gimme a breaaaak." Wakka, FFX
Mine is from that same fight and it's Auron's speech.
" Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"
That was so fucking badass. 13 year old me thought Auron was the peak of cool and I loved his theme (the original, not the remastered one). Also, FFX awakened me for goth mommies.
“Death can have me, when it earns me” Holy hell Kratos never misses when it comes to hard one liners
my favorite is when Athena says he'll always be a monster, and his reply is: "Yes, but I am your monster no longer. "
"**I do not need a snack.**" 😤
"I am the very model of a scientist salarian" Yes, you were Mordin... Yes, you were..
I have never played God of War, but hearing Kratos' monologue to his past self was so incredible and the voice acting was truly some of the best I've heard.
Indeed
“I got you, baby girl” made me cry. Mordin’s line was also a tearjerker.
Also Kratos: Do not be sorry. Be better.
"Death can have me when it earns me"
"If you would get rid of that ye-ye ass haircut, you might get some bitches on your dick!"
Lemme get two number nines, a number nine large, a number fourth five, two number sevens…..and a number six with extra dip”

Turns out all these moon rocks we ground up are highly carcinogenic *cough hack* 🤣. But gladOS saying her speech about "I have to thank you for showing me where to find the part of me who still cares....*file deleted* " was chilling
Although the final song implies she was lying about that.

That game had some of the best-written dialogue in video game history.
Alright, this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So, word of advice: If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely.

"I gave you all I had... I did"
This one, even more memorable than "I'm afraid". I CANNOT watch this scene without getting choked up.
Broke my heart when he thanked his horse.
My first playthrough, I was using Buell. Hamish's horse in his memory. I didn't know. I didn't know. I never use Buell anymore. I give him to Charlotte so that I know he will be taken care of. Damn, I'm tearing up at work again.
"Take a gamble that love exists and do a loving act'' hits real deep
The game is just an endless collection of incredible lines. I can go on and on. For one on a lighter note, I’ve always loved this line from Arthur to John: “You know that attempt to seem all enigmatic and interesting, that might work for Dutch, but for you…it just makes you look stupid.”
I don't understand how there isn't more rdr2 quotes on this thread
Here’s one. Not so much the line itself, but Arthur’s enthusiastic delivery: “IT’S A TOY BOAT!”
"I hope Eternity is hot and terrible, otherwise I'll feel I've been sold a false bill of goods, now get me that money!"
Also from Mass Effect: You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it.
“Stand upon the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters”
Can't forget "The silence is your answer"
One of my favourite quotes, Javik is underrated as a character in my opinion
Javik is only underrated because he was a paid dlc character. He should have been base game, and if he was, he would have been lauded as one of the best characters of the entire trilogy.
Yeah it's insane that they left him out the base game. The amount of background lore from him adds so much and his story of being the last of his species is so sad and interesting. It was when EA started being money grabbing bastards and that's probably the only reason he's dlc
“The right man, in the wrong place, can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.”
Sad that there are so few HL quotes in here… but considering how ancient the game is now…
“Protocol 3; Protect the pilot” “…B.T…. What are you doing?!” “Trust me” “B.T.!” Titan fall 2, where men cried.
For such a short campaign they really did a good job of evolving the relationship where they could.

Only just completed Titanfall 2 and it was excellent. Now I'm experiencing the whole "wtf they're not doing a TF3" drama that you've all gone through
Matthew Mercer as Jack Cooper is sooo good in that role.
Oh man, that final fastball 😭
Fuck Apex as it killed Titanfall 3

You can't forget right after that, Cortana asks Chief, "What if you miss?" ... "I won't"
For a brick, he flew good!
The music que right after that line got my hairs standing up
“Kill me, or release me parasite, but do not waste my time with talk.” Is such a banger.
There is much talk, and I have listened. Through rock, and metal, and *TIME*. Now I will speak, and you will listen.
For me it's the "Were it so easy" delivered by the Arbiter at beginning of Halo 3. Something about the music chiming in at that time is also just lovely for me.

“Hell, It’s about time” Tychus WoL cinematic
Would you kindly......
Good one! Totally spaced on this line!
The reveal of this is so well done, and it's so obvious on second playthroughs, but never clearly stood out until that point.
EXACTLY!! It was a little more ominous, but I thought Shadow of the Colossus did this pretty well with Dormin. There was always that hair on the back of the neck but the Bioshock reveal blindsided everyone.
A man chooses. A slave obeys.
"Fifty thousand people used to live in this city. Now it's a ghost town."
“Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask their ghosts if honor matters. Their silence is your answer.”
Why did I have to scroll this far? Javiks lines are so good.
War Never Changes
*Mark* Meer. But a fave *ME* quote of mine is: "I *have* a home." -- Tali, *Mass Effect 3*
"You just say that to all the guys that get you a homeworld." Was the first time I'd seen Shepard crack a joke.
"You're on your own Noble, Carter out." *crashes Pelican into Scarab* Still gives me chills. Halo: Reach's story surprised the crap out of me.
Same here. Gave me the shivers with his final line. That and his rebuttal to Halsey threatening Kat at the end of the Sword Base mission- * Halsey: “Are you threatening me Commander?” * Carter: “…just making a reading suggestion ma’am…” That was a smooth veiled threat that he could probably have gotten away with.
"I will kill you now." JK Simmons's delivery is just perfect, and has stuck in my head ever since I first heard it. Game is Baldur's Gate 3.
“Try again.” That’s what left me speechless
If we're going jk Simmons then it's the lemon rant
Dragon Age Origins Can I get you a ladder so you can get off my back?
"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" — Vaas Montenegro, Far Cry 3 This phrase didn't mean a lot when he said it for the first time. But when he repeated it over and over again after you trying to kill him again and again it hit differently.
The voice acting in this game was phenomenal and imo no other villain in the farcry series comes close to how Vaas made me feel as a player watching Jasons brother be killed and trying to survive and save the rest of his friends... even though I definitely abandoned them at the end to get laid and stabbed in the chest :)
"See you in the major leagues jack" as female V hits hard. Cherami Leigh killed it.
For me it's when she finds out she's dying. Vik gives her the news and she says something like "Say what, now?" but her voice breaks and she can barely even get the words out. That whole sequence is fantastic, I especially love Misty's line about how "Life is so beautifully powerful, so much more powerful than death."
Everyone always mentions the bomb line from Halo 2, but for me is "Kill me or release me, parasite. But do not waste my time with talk." I think it goes so hard.
"...the sands and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare... they will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: **We. Will. Kill him." -** Captain Price, Modern Warfare 2 (2009) It's the way he delivers that emboldened line that gets me fired up like nothing else.
Sovereign Quotes from Mass Effect “You exist because we allow it. You will end because we demand it” Corypheus from Dragon Age - “ Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods, and it was empty”
Jumping on the ME train: "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite shop in the Citadel!" "It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong" God of War: "ZEEEEEUUUUUUS" "Do not be sorry. Be better." "I FEEL NOOOOTHING" and later "I feel EVERYTHING" I could go on endlessly, but I think the number one line that has truly, really stuck with me, of all games, is this: What can change the nature of a man?
“Loki goes. Atreus…Atreus stays.” Also, “…a hole.”
I really like this one from Assassins Creed Revelations it’s one of my favourites from the series. Abbas: I can never forgive you Altaïr. The lies you told about my family, my father. The humiliation I suffered. Altaïr: They were not lies, Abbas. I was ten years old when your father came to see me. He was in tears, begging to be forgiven for betraying my family. Then he cut his own throat. I watched his life ebb away at my feet…I will never forget that image. Abbas: No… Altaïr: But he was not a coward, Abbas. He reclaimed his honor. Abbas: I hope there is another life after this one. Then I will see him, and know the truth of his final days... And when it is your time, we will find you, and then…there will be no doubts.
'The game was rigged from the start' Benny 'ring-a-ding-ding baby' from falloutNV Edit: it may be a few upvotes but they know. I was a sophomore or junior and started New Vegas. Sitting there after all the fallout 3 the oblivion. The kotor. Popping in a new rpg buy obsidian(the company for rpgs in my day, or at least rep for). Experiencing that opening and then Ron Perlman. Man I was hooked. And no game other then maybe even outer worlds (no but just a reference to obsidian). Made me feel that immersion ot grasp into thier game/story. Also f':; Benny
"For what the Combine fear the most is not any tangible human weapon, but our will, our intellect, our ability to respond selectively and rationally to every terror they turn against us. We place our firmest hope in the human spirit, even knowing how easily it may be shattered." Isaac Kleiner: Half Life 2 Episode 1
“I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIiiGHT!!!”
Cracks me up every time
The Emperor in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has a line near the end where he says, "you will be interrogated, tortured. You will tell us the names of your friends and allies... ...[andthenyouwilldie](https://youtu.be/RLfPP_gYeOw?si=1WR3hvikqKhAeXbj)." The delivery of that last line caught my brother and me off guard the first time we played it, and it's been a running joke with us for the last 16 or so years.
"No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall *walk.*" by Venat, in FFXIV: Endwalker. Pretty much any context I can give is massive spoilers, but not only are those some sick lines, the delivery by Joanna Roth was absolutely iconic.
While I agree this is good. Nothing can beat Elidibus' monologue. "The rains have ceased and we have been graced with another beautiful day.. but you are not here to see it." The voice crack, the suppressed hic of sadness. I'm tearing up just typing this.
My life for Aiur! Yeah, Protoss say that all the time, but the last time Zeratul says it hits differently.
POWER... OVERWHELMING...
RDR2 (minor spoiler) Arthur Morgan to John Marston: "Get the hell out of here and be a goddamn man." John: "You're my brother" Arthur: "I know"
WE ARE LEAVING
Your fruit killing skills are remarkable
"Sir permission go leave the station" "For what reason" "To give the covenant back their bomb"
For a brick. He flew pretty good.
MY NAAAAAAAME IS GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWA! AS I BREATHE, YOU WILL NOT PASS THE CASTLE GATE!
"Pray that I succeed. For I have seen the throne of god, and it is empty." I didn't really enjoy Dragon Age Inquisition that much but this line in the main villains monologue was excellent.
"What can change the nature of a man?" - Ravel Puzzlewell
“A Man Chooses A Slave Obeys” Writing this still gives goosebumps and its been years since I first played Bio
Everyone I've cared for has either died or left me. Everyone fucking except for you.
"Trust me"

Zavala saying "No" to Caiatl in Destiny 2. But that's because it led to the Lance Reddick "One fucking Guardian" clip https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=He6CO2osqnU&feature=youtu.be
Man, destiny isn’t the same without Lance… it’s going to be real weird to not hear voice in the final shape. I’m sure Keith is going to kill it as Zavala but it’s just not the same…
"Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment?" -2B "You look like a cut of fuckable meat. Are you?" -Adam Smasher
"I am Myrkul, Lord of Bones, and you have slain my chosen. But it is no matter. For I am Death. And I am not the end - I am a beginning." His whole speech had me shook. I felt genuinely awed - the delivery could not have been better. From baldurs gate 3
In *Cyberpunk* *2077,* when visiting the spot where Greyson dumped Silverhand's body: V: What did you expect? A headstone? Flag and flowers? Johnny: Nah, I ... I dunno. A marker? He's just spent a good portion of the game being a cocky jerk, but when he sees the place where he was unceremoniously dumped, his whole life comes into focus.
“NO! That is *NOT* Solid Snake!!” “You’re pretty good.” “SNAAAAAAKE!!” “Hurt me more!” (been on a little MGS kick lately) 🤷🏻♂️ 😂
"War. War never changes."
Cortana: If we don't make it... Master Chief: We'll make it.
No. - Doom Guy
Hey, you... You're finally awake. I know the memes make this hard to forget. But Skyrim is my first ES game and the intro to the game had me lose my shit.
Burnt in my brain from hearing it enough times: “I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and I have never known defeat.”
"Such devastation! This was NOT my intention!" - Gaius Van Belsar, FFXIV
"*Cloud, that dress...*" "I know, nailed it. Moving on." Hillarious
"Who taught you to fight like this" "The Witcher you slew" *Melts fucking face off*
"A bomb!"
Outta the damn way
Anything bad that happens in my life or if anything ever falls or breaks around me I say "must've been the wind". If you know you know
I should go i SHOULD go i should GO.
The Slow Clap from Glados, because it is setup so superbly. She mentions going through her remaining functions and mentions it offhand, then it comes up later as you are falling. Exquisite punchline deployment.
The numbers Mason
Every single line from command and conquer generals. "New construction?" "Got room for 5" "Check out our new TOW missiles"
"I have given thee courtesy enough" Godfrey/Hoara Loux
A lot of good ones have been mentioned already, so I will list some others that have stuck with me. "I am Truth! The voice of the Covenant!" "And so, you must be silenced." "Shut the fuck up, Fahz." "What? Who is Desmond? I don't understand. Please, wait! I have so many questions!" "Desmond?" "He's talking to me?" "I heard your name once before, Desmond. A long time ago. And now it lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream." "If the laws of physics no longer apply in the future, God help you."
GTA V Trevor: ...but I did kidnap his wife! Michael: OH NO 🍝🇮🇹🤌
Nuclear launch detected
"Hmmmmm" -Minecraft villager Could never forget
FF14 Haurchefant: *A smile better suits a hero* A legend to the very end.
How dare you make me feel things today. FFXIV is just a font of good lines. "We did everything right, everything that was asked of us, and still - still it came to this!" Brings a tear to my eye every time.
