I know I give Bioware endless amounts of flack for Mass Effect 3 and how disappointing it was, but damn if the Krogan campaign doesn't have the best use of choice and consequence I've seen in a game to date. Despite my sour feelings towards how convenient some aspects of it were, like Kalros and stuff, it feels like every outcome has a sense of gratification to it because everything happens according to what decisions you've made and it feels like, for once, you do actually have full influence on how the story folds out.

 

Even in the worst possible outcomes it still feels rewarding because I made the choice. It feels fair because I know exactly why the things that happen, ended up happening.

 

Honorable mentions:

Witcher 2's campaign split in Act 1 between Iorveth and Roche.

The Citadel Sidequests - Mass Effect 1

The player-driven approach to Operation Snake Eater - MGS3. (bit of a stretch, but there's so much to discover here)

Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas. Pick anything.

[Just My Moniker]

Demons Souls- The final decision to either lull the Old One back to sleep, or become a demon yourself.

 

Dragon Age Origins - The Ultimate Sacrifice or The Dark Ritual

 

Fallout New Vegas - Deciding who rules the Mojave

[Liamv2]

New Vegas has some great choice and consequence.

 

Persona is great with it too with it being possible to miss a massive chunk of the game.

 

Alpha Protocol is stupidly detailed with it's choice recognition.

 

Ar tonelico has few choices but most of them massively change up the game.

(suicide mission & DA:O get honorable mention)

I think my favorite is when the same choice will get you the bad or good ending depending on how well you did during a boss fight.

That's pretty cool too.

Keira Metz in The Witcher 3 is a recent one that comes to mind.

Spoiler

For anyone who was naive enough to think her going to Radovid was wise...there's your reward. :S

Shooting a hostage and losing $1500 in Counter-Strike. Who says videogames don't teach you the value of human life?

 

Worse now, hostages are virtually bullet-proof, shrapnel-proof, and non-flamable. But HQ still insists on taking your hard earned cash.

Persona 4 has its story layered in complexity of choices that needs to be met in order to get the best outcome.

 

Silent Hill 2 for all its symbolism and poignancy that plays between gameplay and I have to say that I enjoyed how the outcome would depend on how you play the game.. using too many healing items or relying on this and that, protecting Maria -- It all fits nicely into each ending.

 

Alpha Protocol -- Lots of conflicting alliances and careful choice of wording in conversation can toughen or dampen your situation quite quickly

 

New Vegas -- Layered in morality in between its many factions and people. If not for the outdated stiff visuals and gameplay then I'd play it all the way through. Needs some mods to pretty it up.

I think it was cool that the woman in the bar in Fallout 3 refuses to endure your presence after you kill her pimp. She's no longer a slave.

Krogan and Geth arc in ME3.

BRoche vs Iorveth in Witcher 2.

Alpha Protocol is full of choice and comsequences (the ending where Michael become the owner of Halbech and ride to the sunset with Scarlet is the best).

Wish I could play New Vegas, tried it once but the gameplay sucked and I dropped. What I should do to enjoy the gameplay aspect? I really want to see the Cesare Legion in its full glory.

Mass Effect - Deciding to let Balak go to save hostages or not. That was a real dilemma for me and still is when I go back and play it.

inFAMOUS 1 - Choosing between saving your girlfriend or 6 doctors who could save more lives. That one had me going nuts for a while, but being the good person that I am, I chose the doctors. Still a sucky decision though

Even more sucky when it turns out Trish dies in both. If you picked the 6 doctors she dies and if you pick Trish, you find out she's a decoy and the real trish is one of the 6 "doctors"... so basically two outcomes that contradict each other.

Lol, yeah I don't think Sucker Punch thought that one out thoroughly enough.

I truly regret little in my life. But purchasing him was one of those regrets.

Redeemed only in the fact that I could sleep better knowing I had let him burn on that stupid refinery roof.
