The Witcher 3: A few times, it’s just a really good set of storytelling and cinematics all around, and I absolutely love games where your choices determine the outcomes
Cyberpunk 2077: When a close friend died, when V had to make a major decision at the end of the game, and when V has to make a decision to choose an ending in Phantom Liberty.
There are certainly more games I probably have shed a tear or two or many playing, but those are the ones that immediately fill me with emotion looking back
Also all of these are spoilers lol, so don’t watch them if you haven’t played the games, but thankfully, none of them are recent releases
Arthur Morgan is such an exceptional character. Everything about him, the writing, the voice and performance actor, the choices, the character development, all his different relationships
Arthur is by far my favorite video character of all time.
V as voiced by Cherami Leigh is probably second for me. Playing in first person only, where you never see V’s face except when looking in a mirror, creates another layer of making decisions as you embody the character through the playthroughs, with pretty much every voice line chosen by you, and then seeing the outcomes of your choices (similar to RDR2) is what makes open world story-driven RPGs so excellent
