Not all of these are "favorites" per se, but they are certainly the most memorable (DA:O only for now):
- The HN Warden's last goodbye to his parents was a bit of a tearjerker. It's interesting how attached I'd become to the Couslands despite having spent so little time with them in-game - that was well done on Bioware's part. Needless to say, I wanted Arl Howe's head on a pike after that (and always do, HN Warden or not - guy's the ultimate scumbag).
- Similarly, the HN Warden's encounter with Bryce in The Gauntlet is quite touching as well. It's brief, but it moved me all the same.
- The DN Warden's battle with Trian and Bhelen's betrayal was pretty epic. In fact, that whole origin is amazing - easily the best of them all, IMHO.
- I found the CE Warden's confrontation with Vaughan to be thoroughly satisfying - especially the part where I stabbed him in the gut with one blade, then chopped his head off with the other. Glorious.
- The Tower of Ishal foreshadowed the sheer brutality of the darkspawn. Dozens of butchered corpses stuck on pikes and hung up on meat racks - I figured the darkspawn were pretty vicious, but I wasn't expecting all
that. Of course, that only set the stage for what was to come when I entered the Deep Roads later on...
- Loghain's betrayal is also a bit of a tearjerker - the way the cutscene plays out with the music is all so very sad, and gets to me every time I see it. Particularly when Duncan looks up at the Tower of Ishal just before the Hurlock Alpha swings his axe.
- The scene of Zathrian finally ending the werewolf curse was pretty powerful - the music especially was perfect for the scene.
- Leliana's song is hands down the most beautiful, moving scene in the entire game. I don't think anything more needs to be said about it than that.
- The events of the Dead Trenches will haunt me forever. Learning the horrific truth about what the darkspawn
really do with the people they capture shocked me to the core - from hearing Hespith's rhyme all the way up to the Broodmother encounter. I knew then and there why the Grey Wardens must destroy the darkspawn by any means necessary.
- Encountering Arl Howe again as a HN Warden got me pretty fired up. I wanted to draw my blade and cut him down right in front of Eamon and Loghain - especially when he dared tell a bald-faced lie about my family right in front of me.
- While somewhat underwhelming due to the briefness of the encounter, finally getting Arl Howe alone in his estate and avenging your family felt oh so very satisfying. I slew him in one-on-one combat with the family blade, then had my dog ****** on his corpse afterward. I still wish the battle would've lasted longer, because he certainly "deserved more."
- The death of the Archdemon is probably my overall favorite moment in the game. Seeing the Warden/Alistair/Loghain rush up to the Archdemon, slash its throat, then slam their sword into its head is the very definition of "awesome" - and the scene is especially epic if you're playing as a dwarf.
That's all I can think of right now. In fact, talking about it makes me want to play the game again. LOL.
