* [[KickTheSonOfABitch Stabbing Vico]] in part 2 of ''VideoGame/ADanceWithRogues''. Especially since he's so [[SmugSnake certain]] he'll get away with his little trick...----

** For extra cool points, depending on the exact position of her when you deal the final blow, [[spoiler:Mephistopheles will break free of his bonds after the fight, leap up, and land on her bleeding corpse before the dais; a final insult to her after he clearly hated being under her control.]]
* The battle with [[spoiler:Grimnaw and his allies]] allows you the potential to see the fight that never was in the original campaign: [[spoiler:Aribeth vs Maugrim]].

* The ending of ''Hordes''. Play your cards right and you can [[spoiler:become the ruler of Cania with Mephistopheles as your lackey, and you turn the capital city into a magnificent metropolis rivaling Sigil.]]
** As a separate part of the ending, if you're playing a male character, not only can you take both [[spoiler:Aribeth]] and Nathyrra as love interests, but with the proper dialogue paths you can [[{{Polyamory}} convince them to share you]] with the blatant implication [[ThreesomeSubtext it's going somewhere sexual]]. It's WishFulfillment for male gamers, but it's at least an awesome example of it.
* On a flip of the above, if you're a female character and your True Love is the Sleeping Man, you can awaken him and get him to help you fight the FinalBoss. [[spoiler:A Celestial duking it out with an Archdevil]] is an awesome sight to behold.
* [[spoiler:Beating the FinalBoss, Mephistopheles, the second most powerful Archdevil in the Multiverse. Enraged, he can only beg you to spare his life before you decide his final fate. After all the pain, harm, destruction and deception he caused, it's very satisfying to slay him and send him back to the Nine Hells.]]

* If you manage to beat Morag in the first game without reaching level twenty, it's already pretty awesome-- but when the finishing blow is landed by your halfling henchman while you're running away and pissing yourself in terror, that's a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* [[spoiler:Beating the FinalBoss, Mephistopheles,, the second most powerful Archdevil in the Multiverse. Enraged, he can only beg you to spare his life before you decide his final fate. After all the pain, harm, destruction and deception he caused, it's very satisfying to slay him and send him back to the Nine Hells.]]

* The cutscene that precedes the battle with the Third Guardian in ''Hordes''. He orders his minions to attack you... and the minions hesitate because your character has become such a {{Badass}}, even devils are afraid of them.

* The battle with the Valsharess is intensely atmospheric. After spending the entire game building up the confrontation, it's a DuelBoss with a powerful sorceress before a flaming pit over which the devil she's summoned is watching over the fight.

* The battle with Klauth, one of the most dangerous enemies in the entire campaign, possibly even stronger than Morag. How strong is he? The game hands you a way to weaken him to "Badly Wounded" by beating a MiniBoss, and he's ''still'' one of the worst bosses in the game. By the time he falls you are going to feel like a hero; if you beat him ''without'' gimping him with the offered method to do so, you earned yourself bragging rights.

* How about subjugating the ruler of the Eighth Circle of Hell, conquering it with him as your lackey, and turning it into a realm rivaling that of the Ninth Circle. And of course when you die, it's highly probably you'll just continue to rule into the afterlife and beyond.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emX88IT7YnY&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLD594E9E3D902F268 The end of ''Shadows of Undrentide'']]. Full stop.
* The cutscene that precedes the 'Sorcerous Pit-Fiend' boss fight in ''[=HotU=]''. The pit fiend orders his minions to attack you... and the minions hesitate because your character has become such a BadAss, even devils are afraid of them.
