Other Best Game Quotes

What do you think some of the best game quotes are?

It could be a player quote, or a NPC quote, or a message the game shows you. It could be an offhand remark, or a major part of the plot, or just something silly added by the game developers that you liked.

Post the quote, and what game it came from, and why you think it is memorable.

I'll start - in Starcraft, a couple missions after you think Sarah Kerrigan got 'killed', she appears as 'Infested Kerrigan', and Jim Raynor says "Mother of God... Kerrigan, what have they done to you?!". It was my most memorable quote from the game, because it completely surprises you when this character who you had played and who you liked re-appeared after you thought she died, but infested by the Zerg.

And, just because I don't think this thread would be complete without it, "The cake is a lie" from Portal is one of the best game quotes ever.

Another good one is the last thing the scientists say to you before the resonance cascade in Half Life, but I can't think of it right now.

I'd like to hear what you guys think are some really great game quotes.

 

I was talking about this on Twitter, but one of my favourites and one which made me double-take and really think about things in a new way for a very long time was...

Morpheus in Deus Ex: "God is a dream of good government. Soon you shall have your God and you shall make it with your own hands."

Also,

"RUN YOU PIGEONS, IT'S ROBERT FROST" - Grim Fandango

and...

Guybrush: I'm starting a new adventure.
Pirate: Growing a mustache?
Guybrush: Bigger than that.
Pirate: A BEARD?!

 

Pretty much 90% of what Ohgren, Alistair and Zevran say in Dragon Age:

Oghren: Ah. Yep. Lot of tension around here.
Alistair: You think so, do you?
Oghren: Know what I do to relieve tension?
Alistair: I hesitate to wonder.
Oghren: I polish the ol' weapon.
Alistair: Really.
Oghren: Yep. Give it a good shine. With a dry rag, then with a little grease.
Alistair: That's disgusting.
Oghren: You're telling me you never gave yer blade the old spit-shine?
Alistair: I think that's private.
Oghren: Really? Sodding Chantry and its rules. I like to do it right out in the open.
Alistair: Where people can see you?
Oghren: Yep.
Alistair: Wait, what are you talking about?
Oghren: What are you talking about?
Alistair: (Sigh) Never mind.


Oghren: Elf!
Zevran: Oghren!
Oghren: I have something to say to you!
Zevran: I am all ears, as we elves like to say.
Oghren: I... Well, now I forgot.
Zevran: Alas.
Zevran: You've had several somethings, I suspect. It's part of your charm.


Zevran: Hello my stocky little friend!
Oghren: Huh. You got small breasts for a gal.
Zevran: Ah. This is where we begin the typical dwarven/elven rivalry, is it?
Oghren: Nahhh.


Zevran: Might I offer you a bit of advice, my good friend Alistair?
Alistair: I like my hair the way it is, thank you.
Zevran: Truly? As you wish... though my advice is regarding something else completely. It has to do with your recent... exertions with your fellow Grey Warden that I overheard.
Alistair: My...? Oh.
Zevran: It did seem as if you just got going when all grew quiet. You are... feeling all right, yes? Perhaps you are tired?
Alistair: We aren't talking about this, are we? Did I hit my head?
Zevran: I have some roots from home that you may chew if you need energy. As for volume, perhaps you ought to try arching your--
Alistair: Whoa! Whoa! Awkward!
Zevran: You Fereldans are so finicky. How will you ever learn how to pleasure each other unless you talk about it?
Alistair: Not listening! La la la la la!


With an honourable mention to Sten for his patience with the 3 jokers:

Alistair: Hmmm... I spy with my little eye, something that begins with... "G."
Sten: Is it a Grey Warden? Is it, in fact, you?
Ailstair: Oooh. You're really good at this.
Sten: (Sigh)

Zevran: So, your sheath is empty, then, my qunari friend?
Sten: My sheath?
Zevran: You do not seem to be rising to the occasion.
Sten: I do not know which is worse, you or the dwarf.
Zevran: Oh, I am, assuredly. He gets all his best lines from me.

Oghren: Lost your weapon, did you?
Sten: What of it?
Oghren: Swinging an empty scabbard, then?
Sten: ...
Oghren: Your pike was purloined?
Sten: "Purloined?" Did you have to look that one up?
Oghren: Maybe. You have to admit, it's good.
Sten: (Sigh)




Best overall dialogue in a game ever.

 

I prefer Morrigan and Alistair fighting myself but yes, possibly the best dialogue in a game ever.

 

I could just buy this game for the dialogue alone!!

 

Dungeon Keeper 6th Land
Before: "Snuggle Bell. The folk of Snuggle Bell worship the common rabbit. Floppy eared bunnies are encouraged to hop around the fields surrounding the hamlet brining happiness and love, and more bunnies to the entire area."
After: "Steep Scythe. Everyone has been put to the sword. And we’ve made an enormous magic carpet out of the thousands of bunnies that swarmed here. Your minions will feast on the their tiny remains for weeks, truly a majestic victory."

The Curse of Monkey Island
[Guybrush meets a talking skull]
Murray: I'm a powerful demonic force! I'm the harbinger of your doom! And the forces of darkness will applaud me as I STRIDE through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike!
Guybrush Threepwood: Stride?
Murray: All right then, roll! ROLL through the gates of hell. Must you take the fun out of everything?

 

"WUT?! UNPOSSIBLE!!"
-Mogor, World of Warcraft.

Great to use similarly to things like "WHAT 9000?!".

 

"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum" -Duke


"THEY CAME FROM BE------BEHINDDDD!" -Helicopter dudes in Warcraft III (quote originally from Star Wars and maybe even before that)

 

Guess again, freakshow. I'm coming back to town, and the last thing that's gonna go through your mind before you die... is my size- 13 boot!

Duke and pretty much every other one of his quotes!

 

"I killed twelve dumb-ass scientists and not one of them fought back..... this sucks!"

 

"Where are you, Marshall?"

 

"The right man in the wrong place, can make all the difference in the world."

---------------- or --------------------

"Get first aid!, here!" :-D

 

"Francis, you can take your mustache, your vest, and your chaps, and go find yourself a parade!"

Portal. Pretty much all the dialogue in that game is epic.

Grim Fandango

Though some of my favorite quotes all come from the Discworld games (some of the best point and click games ever)

If you keep clicking on Rincewind you get

or

When you looked in your luggage (a big chest with lots of little legs that follows you around like a puppy)

When you examined a doorway

When examining the 'shape' out of your window at the start of the game

 

The entire opening monologue of full throttle

"So bats, tell me, what is your deepest fear, All of gotham destroyed, Not saving everyone, ME in a thong?" - Joker, Arkham Asylum

"Me favourite Colour is Blue" Warcraft III knights

"I live...AGAIN" - your character in Blood

Theres some great quotes from the blood bowl commentators, shame theres just far too few of them, and they get quite repetative

 

'Bite my crunchy brown ass' Gingerbread man in Timesplitters Future Perfect.

'BONK!' TF2 Scout

 

mass effect 1

Garrus: Perfect timing Shepard. Gave me a clear shot at that *******.
Shepard: You took him down clean.
Garrus: Sometimes you get lucky.

 

"TIMMY!!!!!!!!!" Also:
