On the bright side, ME 3 almost did away with all role playing aspects of the game and replaced it with autopilot dialog.  You could go eat lunch, go to the bathroom, get a cup of coffee, etc, while the dialog simply ran its preset course.  That has to count for SOMETHING doesn't it? 
OK, no, it counts for feces and is part of the many flaws of ME3. 

Good point. LOL

Love the avatar BTW.

The Longest Journey. This adventure game was launched in Nov 1999 and I had to wait 7 years for the sequel which ended in a cliffhanger. The story currently hangs in limbo but sooner or later, it would be concluded, at least, the writer had promised that much, if Funcom was not going to complete it.

April Ryan was the first game char I emotionally invested in. I "journeyed" with her through her adventures, the journal she kept and updated throughout the game, the remarks she made, revealed much about her. When TLJ ended, I was immensely sad that the journey ended and wondered what would happen to her, pondered over unanswered mysteries.

TLJ Dreamfall revealed where she had gone on and it was a dark revelation. Even darker still, the conclusion. With all my heart, I hope she made it and will unveil whatever it was going on between the two worlds and what was behind all the events.

Right now, I don't know what to say about ME. Beginnings were good but the ending is ashes, nothing much to remember.

Now you're asking something...

- The Fallout series: Most notably Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout: New Vegas.
- Neverwinter Nights 2 and its Mask of the Betrayer expansion.
- To the Moon (which made me weep like a little girl, damn you Kan Gao).
- Phoenix Wright because whilst it's mostly humorous, it has brilliant characters which I can't help but love.
- The Longest Journey.
- Final Fantasy IX (oh gosh, Vivi).

I think that's the short list. I don't want to go digging much deeper than that.

And if I have an all-time favourite character, I think I'd have to say it's Goris.

None.

No other video game forum is so blessed as to be graced with my presence.

So I guess you Final Fantasy fans are in for a treat because I distinctly remember seeing a poster in DEHR advertising Final Fantasy XXVIII or some such in Francis Pritchard's IT office.  I think you will see many many MANY sequels!

I would certainly by a sequel to that game!

I actually got more attached to DA:O and its characters than I did anyone and anything in ME, not gonna lie.

And TWD made me cry like a baby, so...

As for ME1...I am currently finishing a new run of that game after a LONG hiatus.  I STILL enjoy the first one even now, knowing the nature of the 3rd offering.  Nostaligia.  Great story told in a very solid way.  Coherent.  It offered all kinds of stuff up for sequels AND it even offered a hint of how the Reapers could be beaten without a star child, without silly magic explosions, etc.  Right there on Ilos in the conversation with Vigil is THE key to defeating the Reapers but it was blown off and not used in any way after that.  Sad really.  Great game though, ME1.

Oh, if we are including a TV series, Babylon 5.
Now, that is a series worthy of the name. Released 19 years ago that ran for 5 years, it actually had structure and referenced previous episodes tying the past into the present and going onward into the future.

One of the best if not the best Sci-fi series to date.

Honorary mention to Farscape, Earth and Beyond and the one series that would have made it if not for sabotage, Firefly.

@Getorex

Not so much a Final Fantasy fan, just an FF XI fan, because that one particular game was a mutant. It's something you'd understand if you played it. It represented the absolute best the series had to offer in regards to story and characterisation. Sadly, I think some people just tossed it aside because of its visual style.

[mumba]

The Modern warfare series, in all seriousness.

Ah.  I know nothing about the series at all.  What do you mean by its visual style being an issue for people?

[Dragon_Claw]

The Wing Commander series, Deux Ex and The Walking Dead.

This one time I got really worked up about a nuzlocke run I was doing in a Pokémon game...

Other than that, I'd say the only thing that comes close is the original StarCraft games. Never played multiplayer as a kid, but the single-player storyline was really well-written and well-acted. I came close to tears around four or five times between the first game and the Brood War expansion.  StarCraft 2?  Eh... not so much.

Fire Emblem is also a good one when it comes to "NOOOO MY BABIES!!!"  Every mission in the series is basically a suicide mission, since every soldier you lose in combat is dead forever.  Each soldier, by the way, has their own personality, backstory, and plot progression.  They can also develop relationships with one another, and the gameplay is pretty solid (turn-based combat that's halfway between RPG and military strategy).

Final Fantasy X had an impact on me when I first played it. Tidus knowing full well the sacrifice he would have to eventually make to save Yuna, plus the whole false hope that the teachings in the game offered was eye opening for me at the time as well. As a standalone title, that game was the only one that could compare to the emotional impact that the ME series had for me. Other than that... None. ME trumps all IMO.

[o Ventus]

I wouldn't say that I'm "emotionally attached" to any series in particular.

However, I am certainly most interested in Mass Effect. Mass Effect is 1 of 3 (4,to a lesser extent) franchises in which I've actually spent free time surfing the wiki page learning about the universe. The other 2 being Halo and Warcraft. The semi-4th would be Dead Space.

God, I am a nerd.

Oh, let me not forget the original BioShock. Not really an rpg per se, but really, really fun.

Bioshock had a great premise and a well-realized world with an "edgy" atmosphere - you never knew quite when total chaos would erupt out of nowhere. But I thought it fell flat with the linear storyline and the vague player-character, especially when it makes an attempt at introducing moral choice (the Little Sisters) but then forces you to go assassinate four people for Sander Cohen.

[Mordak55]

Might and Magic 6(PC) was the 1st game to really grip me, then Fallout 3, then ME1.

[Tempest_]

I would also add the Kyle Hyde games to mine.

Hotel Dusk and Last Window. I loved those. Also the Little Big Adventure and Broken Sword games from back in the day.

[stonbw1]

I just finished Walking Dead game. It was amazing and pound for pound, the best video game story I've played (honorable mention to ME and original Bioshock).

[Auld Wulf]

TV series is even trickier. Hrmn.

- Doctor Who (old and new).
- Phantom 2040 (they got away with all sorts of weird things for a Western cartoon, including being exceptionally deep, so much so that they were told to dumb it down for season two lest kids wouldn't understand it)
- Being Human (UK version)
- Farscape
- Sapphire & Steel
- Trigun (the story of an ethical man being beaten into the ground by life)

I'm sure there are others, but again, that's the short list.

@Quote the Raven

Oh yes. Hotel Dusk and Last Window, how could I have forgotten those? My memory isn't really that great any more, I guess. But yes, those were sublime experiences.
