The first time you turn Obfusticate on the Malk in some specific spots. The ghostly whispers are very well done.
Heh, my first and only Bloodlines playthrough so far has been with a Malk, hence I thought that these whispers were normal. But yes, playing Bloodlines with a Malkavian was cool, some great dialog lines.
The most enjoyable thing in Bloodlines for me was the mission you had to sneak around on the ship with the Sarcophagus. I had no points in stealth and only one point in obfuscate, meaning that I could be unseen only while sitting still. Eventually I got detected when trying to sneak back from the sarcophagus and had to escape the ship with everyone shooting me in the back.
Finally managing to escape from the werewolf.
Also, I found using Dementation powers very satisfying.
Other than that:
Getting the car to work in Fallout 2, recruiting Goris.
The moment where my party in Fallout 2 stopped sucking and started kicking ass. I remember that was shortly after arriving at NCR (I think, this was the city with Tandy right?).
First we went to the tavern, Tandy's retarded son was picking a fight us, wanted me to buy him a drink, I told him to fuck off. He challenged me one on one or something like that, I again told him to fuck off, so he attacked us and Sulik riddled him full of holes with SMG. Then we went to her mother Tandy and did some quest for her, for which we got a big reward so we could get better equipment, after which we stopped sucking in combat.
Blowing up the outhouse in Fallout 2.
Screwing up the Gizmo quest in Fallout. I remember that I got the quest to record his words from Killian, to prove that he's corrupt. When I went to see him and he told me to sit "my butt down" I couldn't resist saying that "Looks like there's enough butt down there already" or something to that effect. He wanted me to apologize, I told him to fuck off, he attacked, I killed him with my combat shotgun, which left a hole through his gut and chair. Afterwards Killian was angry with me for killing him, but it was too fun.
Killing almost everyone in Junktown since some gang objected to me trespassing their territory. Eventually almost everyone turned hostile to me and I had to slaughter almost the whole town.
The first time I got captured by supermutants in Necropolis and taken to the Army Base.
Death animations and the sound of corpses dropping to the ground in Fallout. Dying of radiation. Exploring the Glow.
Fuck. I now feel like reinstalling Fallout and Fallout 2. Playing them ranks among the best memories from my mid-teenage years (15 - 17).
Robbing the bank in Wizardry 8.
Killing everyone in Erathia in MM 7with my evil party and treating the royal castle as a dungeon to loot. Did the same thing with my good party too, before making the choice between good and evil.
The first time wanderin into the Smouldering Corpse bar and the Brothello of Intellectual Lusts in Torment. Talking with Ignus about his past and his insanely awesome killing spree.
The process of discovering the Iron Clan in Arcanum and getting the mechanical dwarven armor.
Hearing about Stringy Pete pissing on the altar in Vooriden, hilariously blasphemous.
Killing the king of Caladon just for the heck of it, didn't save the game when I did that though.
Meeting the real Stillwater giant in a "random encounter" after meddling with the Stillwater giant hoax.
The process of learning about T'sen Ang.
Randomly discovering Kerghan's lab behind the Stone Clan halls, which I also randomly discovered while exploring the mountains.
Discovering the truth about Nasrudin and his divinity. Also the speculations regarding him in Caladon's Panar'rii Temple, before discovering him, the stuff with his skull and how he isn' buried below Caladon.
Starting the prison riot in Hammer & Sickle's demo.
Exploring Dwemer and Daedric ruins in Morrowind when I wasn't very familiar with the game.
First time in the Urshilaku Burial Caverns. I remember that I was playing it late at night and at first thought that the corpses sitting on the stone pillars will come alive and attack me.
Once in Kogoruhn I couldn't kill the miniboss there so I tried to run away from him. Had to jump over lava in one spot, he died when he tried to pursue me and ran/fell into lava, was very satisfying.
The first time I had to go to the Ministry of Truth with my Nord and ended up slaughtering all of the ordinators. Mehra Milo didn't want to talk to me since my reputation was too horrible for her, after killing all of the Ordinators and getting a massive bounty. Teleported out of there and continued to play on as an outlaw avoiding and/or killing the guards, since my bounty was so high that they would attack me on sight. Since I couldn't get Mehra Milo to talk to me, I eventually had to revert to a much older save.
Exploring the Temple Sewers in Tribunal ( I love sewers and they were very atmospheric). Finding Sotha Sil in the state he was in.
The first main story dungeon in Arena. This is the moment that showed me that dungeon design can be brilliant. I remember that I couldn't kill some of the enemies, so I had to avoid them by levitating, was super happy after finally getting out of there with what I needed.
Finally beating the combat where you fall down and have to battle shitloads of Gnolls in the Mountain Pass in Knights of the Chalice.
Finally beating Icarus and Kessa after countless reloads.
The fight with the other group of adventurers in Baldur's Gate in Helm and Cloak inn (I think it was there). Eventually beating the obnoxious mage in Cloakwood mines for the first time. Gnoll Stroghold has always been very satisfying for me with every character in Baldur's Gate.
That's enough for now I think.
