!! The Longest Journey

* The Longest Journey may be a old game with graphics from the stone age, but its storyline, characters and dialogue (not to mention Crow) is what makes it one of the greatest games ever.

!! Dreamfall Chapters

* Kian Alvane is made of sheer distilled awesome, using his GeniusBruiser personality and quick thinking to accomplish incredible things, among them:
** A prison break, made possible by burning oil off of a chain using flaming arrows.
** Detecting a mole by scent alone
** Blowing up a store of weapons
** Sneaking into the a headquarters and rescuing a Dolmari girl from a rapist.
** Figuring out the secret behind the Azadi tubes in one night.
** Mounting a one-man mission to [[spoiler: rescue Bip.]]
* Mother Utana, despite being a simple elderly woman, manages to silence [[SmugSnake Sister Sahya]] with nothing but [[SilkHidingSteel words and a firm will.]]
* Ferdows, the young engineer, confronts a general. Despite not having any weapons, running on [[UnstoppableRage sheer unbridled fury]] when he learns magicals, including children, are being rounded up and murdered.
** His actions in the Finale as well.
* Zoe discovers the truth behind [[spoiler: [=WATIcorp's=] buying of the elections]] pretty much all by herself.
* Nela, despite [[spoiler: realizing the supposed EMP she was given was actually an antimatter bomb]], sets it off anyway, [[spoiler: a HeroicSacrifice she knows will make her and her party look bad.]] She knows that, since [=WATIcorp=] is getting what it wants, it won't be able to bury the story, and someone else can take them out.
* Hanna is able to take out [=EYEs=] without any weapons.
* Provided you do not [[spoiler: distract Falk by throwing your Dreammachine at him]], he will [[DissonantSerenity quite calmly]] shoot [[spoiler:[=EYEs=]]] with headshots from his silenced pistol, granting[[spoiler: Zoe ]]time to flee.
* Zoe sneaks through a warehouse crawling with enemies, with nothing but a bot and some switchable personality modules. And she succeeds.
* Zoe faces the Yaga, an entity of [[GodOfEvil fear and nightmares]] that has existed longer than the universe, and has been the BiggerBad behind every noteworthy practitioner of evil magic since the dawn of time. [[spoiler:Zoe not only survives the encounter, but talks the Yaga into letting her take the soul-stone to heal Lux.]]
** Actually subverted: [[spoiler:It was Yaga's intention all along, she was just amusing herself]].
* Mother Utana [[spoiler: playing Kian and everyone else for fools.]]
* Anna [[spoiler: gets her [[DeathOfAThousandCuts well-deserved]] revenge against Vamon thanks to a well-placed lynch mob.]]
* Kian grabs a spear full of so much energy, it would overwhelm and destroy him just by grabbing it. He not only holds it, but [[spoiler: wields it to kill Klacks and force Westhouse into the vortex of the engine. And even then, only manages to pass out.]]
* Zoe [[spoiler: fully realizing her Dreamer powers, breaking out of her pod, defeating Brian Westhouse, and reclaiming the Undreaming.]]
* Gabriel [[spoiler: standing up to Helena with an assault rifle.]]
* In the epilogue, [[spoiler:Kian took over Sadir and became the Bloodless King. Not only was he a male in a matriarchy, but he was motherless and possibly considered a traitor. And yet, he managed to do the whole thing, with only Saga and possibly Na'ane and/or Likho helping him]].

* The Longest Journey may be a old game with graphics from the stone age, but its storyline, characters and dialogue (not to mention Crow) is what makes it one of the greatest games ever.
* April and her diary is full of irony. For example:
-->"Sundays are made for sleeping in. Sundays are made for walking around in baggy clothes, watching movies, nursing headaches and hanging out with your friends at the cafe. Sundays are NOT made for going to the worst neighbourhood in town to find a kid who might be able to give you the information necessary to infiltrate a powerful cult that plans to take over the known universe. That's what Mondays are for."
** April trying to use a computer like apparatus:
-->'''April''': F.U.B.?
-->'''Terminal''': Fair Use Bureau. They are authorized to carry deadly weapons."
* And then there is Crow. He is the talking bird side-kick that makes this game good. Quotes? I can't see why not:
->'''April''': Crow, I need you to fly over there and get some of those berries for me. And Crow?
->'''Crow''': Yes, ma'am?
->'''April''': Don't eat the berries.
->'''Crow''': No, ma'am."
