Another game that has a few touching moments is Mafia, which is one of the best games I've ever played.

I'll second that. The ending didn't make me cry, but I wasn't expecting it and it made me sit back in my chair and think (no, I'm not going to spoil it, go out and buy the game yourself, you won't regret it).

That moment made me laugh. LOL

:blink: you didn't understand the story... right???

I've never cried because of a computer game, but some have certainly had more of an emotional effect than others:

Homeworld has already been mentioned, and rightly so. It has one of the best plotlines I've ever seen in a PC game. All of the backstory in the manual is completely unnecessary for completing the game, but it (along with the cutscenes) really sets you up for the sucker-punch in mission 3, the effect of which is enhanced by "Agnus Dei" playing in the background. On a side note, I thought the Garden of Kadesh missions were very cool and a little creepy.

Star Control 2 has also been mentioned, and it's another game with a great and very complex plotline. The Shofixti, the Mycon/Syreen conflict, and the story behind the Ur-Quan were all rather touching.

I always found the Skara Brae subplot in Ultima VI (who killed Quentin?) to be quite poignant.

Oh wait, I got it the other way around.

FF6 was released as FF3 in the US.
There we go.

EDIT: I just read your post and I already know all that, I was just mixed up for a sec.

I am teh master of the old school FF

Oh, posh, I probably know more than you do.

But let's not spam in this forum...

I felt a strong sense of accomplishment after I took my Cleric in BG from Candlekeep all the way to the last BG2 Expansion.

Doubt it...plus I have more reasources to call upon than you probly...

Stop pissing around with FF6/3... nobody else wants this here, make your own topic about it.

The Gardens of Kadesh were indeed great, but they're the part of the game that I got stuck in as the Kushan. I never liked Homeworld 2, the plot wasn't as good, plus it assumed that the original campaign was completed as the Kushan. I played as the Taidaani forces and enjoyed it.

The start of Homeworld 2 is quite good, but apart from that it was a lot poorer. The original still wins it for me.

Deus Ex also had a few decent moral questions in it. I especially liked the Anna Navarre article on freedom, which made me think.

P.S. This is slightly irrelevant, but have you ever been to Skara Brae? It's quite nice, if cold.

Skara Brae? Sounds like a martian scientist.

[Stroggy]

I believe it's some Neolithic settlement (and I wouldn't be surprised if some people drew a link between it and martians either, efthimios)
I think discussing our views of that would be more than just slightly irrelevant.
