Pretty much everything Mario says in Super Mario 64.

Kid Icarus Uprising had great dialog.

Here's one:
Palutena: "Bows are a really good fit for you."
Pit: "Yeah. I've been using them for a long time."
Palutena: "They're well suited for ranged attacks and they split into blades for close combat. They're very well rounded weapons."
Pit: "Oh, I know, I used them in the last Brawl."
Palutena: "Brawl? How horrible! Were you hurt?"
Pit: "No way! It was a Smash!"
Palutena: "I just can't imagine you in a Melee."
Pit: "That's.. because I wasn't."

I haven't gotten this far in the game yet, but I totally get the Brawl and Melee reference. Very clever. He was actually supposed to be in the first Smash Bros. but the developers had a hard time animating his wings so he was scrapped.

The miqo'te (catgirl) Path Companion in FFXIV 1.0 had some hilarious (and sexually tinged) quotes:

"Ooo yes! Now we're role-playing!" - upon selecting a name for her.
"Oh you are in for.. such a... such a... dose of gratitude you'll be grinning for a week! But first we've got a diversion to create, and I'm not sure taking our clothes off will work." - upon reuniting with her during the 'Future's Perfect' story quest.
"Get your hands off my... OWWW!! What was our safety word again?!" - being captured by amal'jaa guards during the 'Lord Errant' main story quest.
"Oh, when I get a hold of those sylphs..." - after the player awakens after being captured by the amal'jaa during the 'Lord Errant' main story quest.
"Please understand. I find a measure of danger stimulating, but suicide is not for me." - responding to a request from help from the sylphs during the 'Together We Stand' story quest.
"Ah, were I a man right now, you would know at a glance how pleased I am to see you!" - upon entering the meeting with the Ala Mhigan Resistance during the 'Future's Perfect' main story quest.

Despite it's terrible design and bad run, the writing for the game was first class. :D

Sam: That's no head, Max! It's one damned ugly timebomb! Let's leave this criminal cesspool pronto!
Max: Good idea, Sam. Maybe we can ditch the head somewhere while the credits are running. Mind if I drive?
Sam: Not if you don't mind me clawing at the dash and shrieking like a cheerleader.
Max: Sam, is "pronto" a real word?

Max: Another confused census taker?
Sam: Actually, it was the Commissioner with another idiotic and baffling assignment.
Max: Does it involve wanton destruction?
Sam: We can only hope.

Max: Sam, either termites are burrowing through my skull, or one of us is ticking.

- There is strength in numbers, and I am two or three, at least.
- Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!
- This behaviour must not continue. Feel the burning stare of my hamster and change your ways.
- After frolicking in a bush that we now consider to be of suspicious nature, both Boo and I have contracted the Calimshite Itch in rather... private places. A salve would be most joyously anticipated!

Tiax
- The day comes when Tiax will point and click!
- Ya lil' monkey-spanker.

The protagonist
- Sorry, Aldeth, but we're siding with the druids. They have this great Aloe-Vera balm they are giving away samples of, and my armor has been chafing a bit, ya know?
- You know what I always say? "Always kill the mouthy one", that's what I always say.
- Thank you for the compliment. Shall we kill you now or would you rather beg for a time?


Protagonist: What makes you think you are going to rule everything? That's a pretty big job for such a... diminutive fellow.
Tiax: Have ye no ears to hear?! It is as Tiax said! DESTINY! Cyric himself will lift Tiax "on-high," hurtling me to my rightful place when the time comes! You shall all be as ants before my grace, though slightly larger ants than the norm if you help me.
Protagonist: So your whole belief system centers around some celestial midget-toss? Count me out. I'm not a member of the 'Up With Dwarves League,' you know!

Well-Adjusted Al: Hi, I'm Well-Adjusted Al, and my prices are sensible. I used to be called Crazy Al, but therapy has convinced me that selling plate armour for 3 gold pieces and a small duck was no way to get ahead in business.

Baldur's Gate 2

Korgan Bloodaxe
- Be aware, Mazzy, I've something long, hard and low to the ground ye're free to touch and fondle. Child, no need to glare! 'Twas me axe I were referring to.

- Aerie! Aerie! Cease yer whining! I'd swear on me father's coalcart ye were one o' them fey elves, with all the blasted crying coming from ye.


Yoshimo: Friend Korgan, you are truly a paragon of dwarven ill-humor. Can you find no joy in being alive? The smell of the morning dew and the feel of the free air?
Korgan: Aye, I find pleasure in the feel of an inquisitive thief's neck-bone breakin' between me hands.
Yoshimo: They could write a book about you. 'Irritable Dwarven Responses', they'd call it. It would be a best-seller amongst the smelly-old-drunk market. What say you?
Korgan: Mayhap ye should, only 'Pleasures of the Dwarven Bed-Chamber' be a more pleasing and accurate subject.
Yoshimo: Ho! Is it, now? How about 'The Unbathed Adventurer: Travels with Korgan'?
Korgan: Worry not, thief. There's naught wrong with yer idea that a sharp blow to yer idiot skull wouldn't fix. Here is yer title and argue with me gauntlet if ye dare: 'Tall-Folk Scourge: Yoshimo Beware!'. Now shut yer mouth and get to writing.

Minsc: Then say it louder! We must inspire fear in evil! Quiet tales of hamsters are foolish, but a man and his hamster that tear evil limb from limb? That's scary!
Protagonist: Ahh, what the hell. Right-o, Minsc! Our deeds will ring in the evil ears we box and label do not open 'til mid-winter fest!
Minsc: Now you are speaking the language of Minsc! Next we must get you a hamster! Or perhaps an ice weasel, whatever your tastes.

Minsc: Yes! Lead evil by example, and one day we need no longer put the boots to those that stray off the path of goodness into the muck and bile of villainy and track great bloody footprints across our lily white tiles! Boo will have clean wood shavings you evil bastards!
Protagonist: Oooooh kaaaay.

Aerie: It must be an awful feeling. I cannot imagine how <Protagonist> deals with it.
Imoen: Yeah... he's been dealing with it longer, too. Sometimes, when it's quiet... I can hear the taint in my heart whispering to me. It says awful things and I almost want to scream to shut them out.
Aerie: (gasp!) You... you haven't done anything that it's said, have you?
Imoen: Well... other than that time I got up in the middle of the night to snatch a bag of cinnamon cookies, heck no.
Aerie: Oh, goo-... what? Cinnamon cookies?
Imoen: Ha ha! Oh, come on, Aerie! Lighten up, willya? I'll tell ya what, if I have any desires to murder you in the middle of the night, you'll be the first to know, okay?
Aerie: That's not very funny, Imoen. <Protagonist> never makes fun of his/her condition that way.
Protagonist: Well, it's been so much easier when I discovered all the Slayer really wants is a sandwich...

Baldurs Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal

Cespenar the Imp
- Ooo! Shiny ones!

Imoen: So... Sarevok. You've had an itty-bitty piece of my soul in there for quite a while now. What's it been like?
Sarevok: Well, other than a slight obsession with my weight and the resurgence of a few pimples, it's been simply grand.

I apologize in advance for putting more dialogs than quotes.

Don't worry, I tried to come up with cool one liners but rather went with something with a bit more substance.

I really tried to not make this post a huge Torment quote mine so I'll keep it brief:

Unfortunately I couldn't either find nor even try to paraphrase the conversation with Dak�kon about The Nameless One basically forming the basis of his religion to enslave him forever in a previous incarnation. Heavy stuff. I love the fact that I could at least find this:


The zerth stares blackly at Dak'kon as he returns with you. She turns her back to you, as if daring Dak'hon to strike the target.

Nameless One - "Dak'kon, cut her down."

Dak'kon - "It..." Dak'kon's voice falters. "It is not my *will* that I do this."

Nameless One - "Do it. Dak'hon."

She looks amused and dismayed at the same time.

Kii'na - "Yes, strike, Dak'kon, and let your treachery overflow from your githyanki heart."

She turns her throat to him.

Dak'kon's blade slashes her, and she falls bleeding to the ground. The blood boils on the edge of his blade, then steams away, leaving black stains upon its surface.

Nameless One - "Let's go."

Dak'kon turns slowly, his eyes like two dead, black stones. His face is ashen, and his blade is the color of dried blood. When he speaks, he sounds old... and broken:

Dak'kon - "What is your will?"

To put you guys into the context of silly second edition DnD lore, Dak'kon is a Githzerai and a zealous follower of Zerthimon to boot, Kii'na on the other hand is a Zerth whom are considered the spiritual offspring of Zerthimon.

This is as close as it comes to a vidio game equivelant of a catholic being forced to kill a iiving saint.

Messed up.

It's just one of the reasons I did not want to crowd this post with Torment stuff (even though I did anyways), there are so many amazing points of narrative in the game outside the 'nature of man'-stuff everyone mentions.

This conversation is a part of the "evil" playthrough of Torment. You know, the thing that in most RPGs results in your PC being portrayted as somewhat of a comical, rude, selfish jerk, a bit misanthropic at times, sure, but never a downright evil amoral fuck. But this game wasn't baldurs gate, Torment wanted to break the conventions of it's medium and in doing so it made some of the actual moral, roleplaying choices in the game meaningful and in a sense vile. Thoughout the conversation above you had the chance to say "No, really Dak'kon, just do what you *know* is right" but you also had the chance to push it. Push it beyond the regular "I'll get Dark Side points for kicking the cat", beyond the "Instead of a asking him nicely I can kick the answer out of him". You could force a party member to go against everything he stands for apart from his vow of servitude to the player character aeons ago. It's not about being a cool renegade who doesn't play by the rules, it's actually about being a Chaotic Evil person. By breaking conventions Torment manages to reach closer to the source material than any cRPG before or since.

I honestly think you would have to be either illiterate or a sociopath to finish an evil runthrough of this game. At least without skipping a lot of text or feeling ill for reading it through.

After reading through my first post in this thread, I just remembered an addition to it - I cannot mention FFXIV and 'memorable quotes' without mentioning a certain 'agent of inquiry' (Hildibrand) - every time he was on screen and opened his mouth, I was just rolling around in laughter, especially this little exchange during the 'stolen weapons' quest from FFXIV version 1.0 with the weapon thief Gauwyn the Gannet:

Gauwyn: "...You! You're the knave whose been loitering around my men for the past moon, masquerading as one of us!"
Hildibrand: "Knave? This scurvy barnacle here? Just say the word guvnor and I shall give this undoubted scrag a jolly good thrashing!"
Gauwyn: "Not him you imbecile! YOU!"
Hildibrand: "Avast guvnor? Whyever would you think me a knave? Do I not look every part the minion? Are my eyes not shifty, my hair tousled, my shpeech shlurred?"
Gauwyn: "Look the part?! You are without doubt the most poorly disguised imposter I've seen in all my days! A great buffalo would seem less conspicuous in the Admiral's stateroom than you do here! AND STOP CALLING ME 'GUVNOR'! NO ONE CALLS ME GUVNOR, NOT EVEN MY OWN MEN!!"
Hildibrand: "And so the game is up. A pity, though I must admit you have quite a keen eye, Gauwyn. Few are they who can claim to have parted my myriad veils of illusion."
Hildibrand: "Yes it is I! Hildibrand! Agent of Inquiry! Inspector Extraordinaire! You will have heard the bards sings of my exploits I am sure!"
Gauwyn (looking annoyed and indignant): "I cannot say that I have, but I am sure they will be quick to pen an ode recalling your untimely demise at the hands of one Gauwyn the Gannet. Boys, would you kindly escort the dear Inspector to the cliffs?"
Hildiband (panicking as Gauwyn's thugs surround him and move him close to the edge of a cliff): "B..but! You are... apprehended! I... I... I um.. am willing to discuss this. You seem to be harbouring a great deal of anger. Perhaps a hot cup of tear will help you relax. I believe I have some in my bag... uh..."
Nashu Mhakaracca (calling out to him) "Inspector! Is that you?"
Nashu Mhakaracca: "You sound like the Inspector... but you don't look like the Inspector. Did you eat the Inspector? ARE YOU IN THERE INSPECTOR?!"
Hildibrand: "No Nashu! It's me! I'm in disguise!"
Barrucuda Knight Captain Bertrand: "It's all over Gauwyn. Tell your Redmoon thugs to throw down their weapons at once!"
Gauwyn: "Seven hells! Don't you all have a war to attend to?!"
(Two Barracuda Knights surround Hildibrand menacingly)
Hildiband: "No no! Wait! There's been a misunderstanding! You see, I'm not really one of them! I was merely pretending to, that I might learn their secrets and..."
(The camera looms up to a view of Dalamud and sounds of someone comically being beaten up):
Hildibrand: "MUUUMMYY!!"

:p

These quotes are really great..i wonder how much research work goes into the making of these games. Some are quite inspirational as well.

Seeing as I'm on such a FFXIV kick recently, here's some memorable quotes from FFXIV A Realm Reborn (possible spoilers, so be warned):

Pirate captain: "So, what makes ya think ya' a pirate?"
Potential male hyur crewman: "I er.. have an eyepatch?"
Potential female roegadyn crewman: "Damn! I was going to say that!"

Alphinaud: “Enterprise… engage!”

Cid: “Father… When did we stop seeing eye to eye? When did Meteor become your everything, and your loved ones ceased to matter?”

Lightning (at the end of the recent FFXIII-crossover event): “I’m being called back. It’s a shame, my memories of this world probably won’t last… Keep them for me. Maybe we’ll meet again… in another time, another place.”

Garuda: “You Landwalker – you who dared to raise your hand against me – you shall be the first to pay for your sins! Not with your death – but with your LIFE! You will serve me Landwalker - to your last breath!”

Garuda: “Surrender yourselves onto me! I shall feast upon your aether! NONE SHALL STAND AGAINST THE WIND!”

Gaius: “It is you who will suffer Garuda! Ancient Allag had ways of dealing with your kind. Now look on their ultimate weapon, eikon, and despair!”

Cid: “Damn it, Gaius! Where in the seven hells did you find that thing?!”

Y'shtola: “Sometimes I wonder Yda… are there ever times when you are not enthused?”
Yda: “I’m nothing if not enthused Y’shtola! And you’re beginning to remind me of Papalymo!”

Garlean Centurion: “There’s the reaper! Taken by the traitor Garlond – and is that the eikon-slayer!? Oh bollocks!”

Papalymo: “So that’s a colossus is it? More like a colossal waste of iron!”

Y'shtola: “The reunion must wait!”
Yda: “Right! First things first!”
Papalymo: “Yes, let’s get back to being heavily outnumbered…”

Lahabrea: “Look Hydaelyn – your minion comes – bringing the Light. Alas, the gate to the Void already stands open. Soon, darkness shall consume all, and you shall bow down to the one true god. Ahahahahaha!”

Cid in particular has some memorable and funny quotes:

“If I didn’t know better, I’d swear you had a personal grudge against magitek armour!”

“See that chute? It leads to waste disposal. Somewhere nearby, there will be a ceruleum facility supplying fuel to the closest of the three towers. Find the place and break things.”

“Oh, and don’t even think of dying! You’re too bloody useful!”

:D

Unfortunately I couldn't either find nor even try to paraphrase the conversation with Dak’kon about The Nameless One basically forming the basis of his religion to enslave him forever in a previous incarnation. Heavy stuff.

I think that's what you've been looking for:



Flashback.

I am silent as I tread along the broken island, two whole blocks of the city that had broken off and had been sent floating into the misty void. Overhead the realm of Limbo plays itself out in pretty random smatterings of transsubstantial matter. Ashen snow flutters down onto the remaining streets, as if some latent psychic residue wept in lament.

There is only the distant roar of the chaos above and the sandy crunch of debris beneath my boots. I walk past the bodies, the blood, the utter and absolute ruin. In a few days the lingering psychic will of the Anarchs will sputter and die out and slowly this islet would dissolve, yielding the corpses to the embrace of mad oblivion.

I stop. There he is.

I focus on the dying man that lies before me. Kneeling, I examine the zerth to see if he still lives.

The survivor (if one can call him that) is a githzerai, his body embedded in an earthen pocket that swirls around him - unconsciously, he has formed a grave from the elements, and though bits of fire and water lick at his face, he does not respond. His hands are ashen, his coal-black eyes focusing on nothing - his emaciated frame speaks of starvation, but I know it is the least of his wounds. It is faith that dealt him the mortal blow.

I look for the blade he carries.

In his limp left hand is a twisted mass of metal, its surface having melted around his hand like a gauntlet. As I watch, it steams and hisses, like a diseased snake. The githzerai does not seem to be aware of it... but it is that weapon that has brought me here.

The memory flares, and I hear my voice echoing across the barrier between life and death, from one incarnation to another.

Nameless One: "Dak'kon, zerth of Shra'kt'lor-Drowning, last wielder of the karach blade, know that I have come to you with the words of Zerthimon, carved not in chaos, but in stone, carved by the will in an Unbroken Circle."

At the word 'Zerthimon,' Dak'kon's eyes roll in their sockets, and they attempt to focus upon me. With effort, he cracks his mouth to speak, but only a dry hiss emerges. I bring forth the stone from my pack and hold it before him so he can see.

Nameless One: "Know that the words of Zerthimon inscribed upon this stone are true, and know that your divided mind need be divided no longer. All you must do is take the stone and you shall know yourself again."

Dak'kon's eyes flicker over the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon.

Nameless One: "Take it..."

For a moment, I think that he might be too close to death to recognize it. Then the right hand twitches, and he pulls it slowly from its earthen prison, the clumps of earth streaming off it become water in Limbo's chaotic winds. His skeletal hands clutch the stone, like a drowning man grasping a branch, and his eyes flash.

Nameless One: "Know that I have saved your life, Dak'kon, zerth of Shra'kt'lor."

Dak'kon's eyes turn from the stone and flicker over me, and he hisses again, throat too dry for a moment to muster the words. He blinks, slowly, then speaks, his voice barely above a whisper, but the words are what I wanted to hear.

Dak'kon: "My... life is yours... until yours is no more..."

I smile.

End of flashback.

I was amazed that I didn't collapse and vomit when I returned to the present.

Dak'kon was silent, contemplative in the silent seconds when the memory had swept over me. "I heard your words. The chaos in my mind became still. I knew myself again."

I swallowed hard, trying to clear the taste of ash from my mouth.

Nameless One: "Tell me about that other 'me'... the incarnation you knew. What was he like?"

Dak'kon's gaze traveled through me, and he fell silent.

Nameless One: "Dak'kon?"

Dak'kon: "Know that he was different. Know that the differences were not marked on the skin, nor in the Way of the weapon, nor in the attire that cloaked him. Know that he was different in the way of thought and the means he acted upon his thoughts. His WILL became substance. Know that he saw others and did NOT see them. He knew only how they could serve him. His heart was treacherous, and it was cold, and never did its coldness burn him."

My voice was a whisper when I asked.

Nameless One: "Did it ever touch you, Dak'kon? Did he betray you?"

Dak'kon's blade began bleeding into a dull, flat black, and I watched as edges, like teeth, began sprouting from the edge of the blade. His face clenched, and he spoke through his teeth. "It is not my will you know of this."

Nameless One: "Tell me, Dak'kon. Did he ever betray you?"

Dak'kon: "I surrendered my WORD to him. I surrendered my SELF."

Nameless One: "What are you talking about?"

Dak'kon: "The People do not allow themselves to be enslaved to another in deed or chains. If we find ourselves in such a cage, we ACT to free ourselves, even if it means we must endure another cage for a time. You performed a great service for me. In so doing, you enslaved me. I acted to free myself. Know that I surrendered my word and my self to act in your name until your death."

Dak'kon: "My... life is yours... until yours is no more..."

The chill at those words needled into my bones.

Nameless One: "But... I can't die."

Dak'kon: "That was not known to this one. I surrendered my word to him. I surrendered my self. Know that there is now nothing left that I may surrender except my life. Know now that I follow you only so I might die."

Heavy stuff indeed.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215


The name’s Kyle Hyde.

It’s been three years since I quit the force and left New York.

Now I’m a salesman for this outfit called Red Crown.

On the surface, Red Crown’s a door-to-door sales firm dealing in
household goods.

But Ed, the boss, has himself a little business on the side.

He finds things that don’t always want to be found. Keeps it quiet, too.

From time to time I lend a hand.

Ain’t the greatest gig in town, but… Hell, I got nowhere to be and nothing to do.

You hear me Bradley? This is it.

This is what I’ll be doing until I find you…

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

I really like the macabre descriptions in this game. You can almost feel the nausea.


In his mind’s eye, Junpei saw the corpse again. The dark, reddish-black pool of blood…

The scattered pieces of flesh…

Organs strewn across the floor like the blossoming of a grotesque
flower…

The explosion that had torn through his body had been powerful.

The 9th Man’s neck had been twisted at an odd angle. Junpei suspected the detonation had thrown him against the wall.

Half of his face was crushed, and the other half was covered in blood.

Most of his abdomen had been emptied, either by the explosion, or by
gravity.

He had landed on his back, and stark white ribs jutted up out of his chest, like the legs of some sort of macabre crab.

---

Half of his head had simply collapsed.

The blood coating almost made it look like raw pizza dough covered in tomato sauce.



His legs were both bent in an odd unnatural way, and his left arm had split open, exposing the painfully white bone of his ulna.



Smaller chunks of meat had splattered against the wall, and become stuck there as they dried.

Globules of yellowish fat had left trails like tiny slugs as gravity pulled them down the wall, even as they dried to it.



What was left of the body sat in a sea of blood.

Chunks of flesh, torn from the body, sat in the blood like tiny islands in a great, red sea.

A vast, ragged hole had been torn in the torso, and what remained of his intestines spilled out of it like fresh spaghetti.

---

Quietly he pushed open the door. The smell hit him like a blow to the face.

His lungs contracted, unwilling to inhale such fetid air. Acid boiled up from
the base of his stomach, churning what little food was there into a violent
froth.

It was too much for him, and he vomited. A thin stream of yellow water
and bile spattered onto the floor. He wiped his mouth weakly, and stared at the dead body.

Chunks of torn flesh lay in an arc around the body. What remained of its
intestines had slid out onto the floor.

The pool of blood that framed it was half dry, but so thick that it had taken on a texture not unlike that of an egg yolk prepared sunny-side up.

On the floor, next to the broken mass of the man’s head, lay his glasses,
cracks spidering across the lenses.

The bloodstains near them had already dried, like scabs on the floor.
