This is more of a role player moment. Having Leliana silence Chantry mothers on the war table. I made my female qunari inquisitor fell like the ben-hassrath her parents warned her about. i made he feel horrible.

Yes! Mainly how when I released Blackwall they didn't give me the option to chop his head off! So I looked like a ****** idiot when I let him go and join me again. I really didn't like that they gave you no options to deal with him. From what I've gathered if you don't do the quest he gets hanged? I didn't know this would happen because I thought you had to finish the quest. Either way they could've at least given me the option to banish him from the land. Bioware was way too soft for my liking when it came to Blackwall.

Alistair vs. Hawke.
The other one was practically my every ladywarden's LI (and husband in some playthroughs) and the other assumably the Princess of Starkhaven (if one lets their imagination fly a bit while doing Sebastian's wartable missions) and otherwise precious character for me as well. The choice was easy though, I was playing a worldstate in which my warden lied dead and I've heard some rumours (which turned out to be, sadly, fake) about how that would play out in Inquisition if the "Here lies the abyss" warden was Alistair who romanced HoF and was left in the Fade. Still felt bad. Ow.

.....Why would you want to go out of your way to kill him yourself? You ruin you rep and waste resources to kill a guy who going to be killed any way?

I didn't like that particular quest.  The objects weren't really labeled, I had no idea what they were.  

 

Also, the keeper asked me to clear out the demons in the area.

 

When you break the graves, demons spawn.

 

Make up your mind, keeper.

You companions make it clear to be respectful. how is robbing a grave respectful?

Killing those nugs in the Crestwood caves :(

It was one of those moments where I don't expect the game to react to my actions. They seemed like some little easter egg with some funny dialogue from Cassandra. I thought I'd collect some nug skin for crafting... And the reactions from my party when I hit all three with mighty blow! :( I'll have to destroy the greataxe I used to erase the memory.

Not guilt but the Hawke vs Warden choice is a tough one.  Saving the warden makes more sense but seeing as I played as Hawke for an entire game I end up saving Hawke.  Of course if I do a playthrough with Alistair as the Warden then I might sacrifice Hawke.  So Virmire like that decision.

Haha those damned nugs I killed them by accident while playing around in the cave they seemed special since they didn't run away that far I screamed NOO at the screen when they died, I already had a nugcoat made from the ones in haven I didn't need another one.

At that point of the game, you technically do not know about the Seekers' secret regarding tranquility. 

Alexius could have been severely punished, or made useful, in other ways not needing tranquility. 

As a mage, it feels hypocritical to rely on tranquility as means of donig justice. Tranquility is somewhat symbolic of mage oppression, because while it may seem appropriate for those guilty of maleficarum activity, it is also often used on those who've done nothing wrong but show the possiblity of being too powerful for their own good, and who would rather die than have their humanity stripped away and become a working vegetable. Other times it's used as a punishment for mages who simply tried to run away and pursue freedom. As if that's fair. 

Mages were constantly at the mercy of the Circle system and their use of tranquility. So, if you're a mage with pro-mage ideals, using tranquility is just regressive. 

You can learn about the secret to reverse tranquility and then judge Alexius later. Just never sit on the Skyhold throne until you do.

Closest thing I ever felt to guilt for my actions in a video game was when I

Spoiler

I **** you not, I THREW my Xbox controller away from me as if it were infected by the Blight, remained curled up in a ball for about a minute, turned off the Xbox, and then stopped playing video games for about a month or so. XD

Because he lied to me and the Inquisition. He betrayed my trust and I don't take kindly to that. Also, what he did was down right horrible. He's a coward and a hypocrite, thus I want him dead by my hands.

Letting Sera kill that nobleman. It reminded me on Josie's string "I want to look away, but I can't". I just can't erase that picture from my head. 

 

Forgiving Blackwall. My character didn't have the right to do so.

 

Some things that is not possible in the game, but role playing wise my character felt guilty about - not being able to save some people, where I was following a trail and I couldn't reach it in time.

 

Accidentally giving up Brialla instead of making sure she stays in power.

 

Cory's pawn in Adamant - nothing of the options is good enough to punish him for the crimes. I regret not being able to come up with something better.

 

Cole - obviously it is hard to decide what is good in this case.

 

Fiona - not being able to make her meet Alistair

 

Watching Dorian fume about entering the Fade thing made me abashed and reconsider the importance of that little "trip".

then leave him there to die like a normal person and not waste resources and ruin your rep just to kill him.

Same thing sort of happen to me in my first play through. I had her as the squad lead of the group, not realizing till later you had to have specific people do certain jobs at the end. Was even worse since she had been my LI. I had a WTF moment and quit the game for a few days till I figured out what to do. Seeing that rocket go off...sigh...but to OP question. I regret not being able to save the Templars. Always choose the mages.

I was mostly happy with all my choices.

 

Fade one made me feel bad when Varric got sad ( left Hawke to die), but I stand by Stroud being more useful to rebuild the wardens, and I really wasn't all that invested in my Hawke, tbh.

 

Surprised at people saying they felt bad about making Cole a spirit. I did that and thought it was a great outcome for him.

 

I knew the well would bite Morrigan in the ass, but she was determined, so that's a lesson for her there. I wash my hands of that one.

 

I did feel bad about calling back the chargers and making Iron Bull Tal-Vashoth, but I figured that one would have a crappy outcome either way.

The Alistair/Hawke choice was tough (saved Hawke), and I felt somewhat guilty when I talked to Fiona in Skyhold afterwards. It's a much easier choice with Stroud. He has served the Grey Wardens for decades, I guess he was close to his calling anyway. Judging the mayor of Crestwood was also a difficult decision for me.

Edit, also making Cole more spirit less human. I was good until he went all Mr roboto. No emotion

 

Me too. I just wanted him to be who he is, but when he made himself forget he was Cole I felt bad. :<

The only decision that had the slightest impact on me was choosing between Hawke and Alistair. I choose Alistair to live and facing Varric was tough. In my second play-though, Alistair is king, so I might leave Stroud behind. We'll see.

 

Also the Chargers.. the first time I didn't save them. NEVER AGAIN. This time I save them.

 

But truthfully, this game doesn't pull anywhere near the emotions out of me that ME3 did. When I thought I had lost Grunt, I had tears in my eyes. Mordin sacrificing himself choked me up too. Also, another play-though, betraying Wrex and having to kill him got me.

While doing bull's personal quest, I didn't want to make him give up his religion and make him a pariah to his people, i felt wrong of me to choose. I felt like he should of decided and i would of backed him up regardless of his choice.

 

With Hawke and the warden in the fade i didn't want to leave the warden in there because i felt like Corypheus could posses him in the fade and get into the black city. But i also hated the idea of leaving Hawke behind and when i saw Varric upset it broke my heart.

 

Also having the option to banish the wardens, i mean they are needed in blights because only Morrigan and Flemeth appear to know an alternative to dealing with the arch demon essence and they haven't shared that knowledge, but i didn't want them to turn on me later. And we do not know when the next blight is coming either i didn't want to take the chance to leave Orlais vulnerable. 

I would be blamed for it if that happened because i kicked out the wardens.

Yes, "Wounded Chevalier" in Exalted Plains.

 

I will never forgive myself for searching the room while you lay on the ground dying... and when I turned around, you had died without giving me your message.

 

I will forever feel like a lesser character for having chosen loot.

None.

 

Felt good having Loghain redeem the Grey Wardens and having Hawke, the superior choice, live on to serve as a staunch ally of Justice and Inquisition ally.

 

The only bad thing is anyone choosing an unimportant low-ranking Grey Warden over Hawke.

I immediately regreted making Blackwall my personal butler, so I reloaded my save and made him a warden afterwards

Mine happened with the Hawke/Stroud choice.   I agonized over it for several minutes when it came up.   Keeping Stroud seemed like the more logical choice as the world needs Grey Wardens and he might help them rebuild eventually.   So in the end I picked Stroud, but when I then talked to Varric back at Skyhold...    I felt truly guilty..  I am so sorry Varric. 

 

This 100%.  I kept Stroud for the same reason you did, but Varric's face and attitude when you get back crushes you!  I also supported the Wardens which pisses off Cassandra, so all in a rather lousy outcome from that mission....

 

I can't think of any other choices I felt actual guilt for.  Certainly there were some tough choices, but I felt good about them.
