History Heartwarming / DarkestDungeon

** In addition, as you upgrade the Hamlet, you will actually be able to hear life returning. At the start of the game, there will be mostly silence over the Hamlet, with only very rare noises, But as the Halmet's structures get upgraded, you'll start to hear the sounds of people in the background, dogs barking, and hammers pounding, showing that you are breathing new life into a place that has suffered so much at your Ancestor's hands.

** [[spoiler: When he is being chosen as a target for the Heart of Darkness' OneHitKill, his potentially final action is him trying to comfort his dog.]]

* As opposed to becoming afflicted and abusing or stressing out the rest of the group, any time that the heroes find themselves in supporting one another can be heartwarming. Any time that a virtuous class tries to have the others follow their example. The Jester opening up and saying that [[SincerityMode underneath his jokes, he feels blessed to be traveling with the other party members]]. The usually quiet, aloof, and cold Bounty Hunter saying that when they get back to the Hamlet, the tavern will be on him. Whenever retreating out of a Darkest Dungeon quest, [[HeroicSacrifice that one party member stays behind so the others can escape]]. And, of course, when [[spoiler:some heroes are more than willing to die or suffer a FateWorseThanDeath at the hands of the FinalBoss to spare the others from their fate]]. [[DespairEventHorizon They might not]] [[TookALevelInJerkass always show it]], but the RagtagBunchOfMisfits are TrueCompanions at their core.

-->'''Courageous Crusader''': You will survive. I judge it so.
-->'''Powerful Bounty Hunter''': Win this, and the tavern's on me.
-->'''Courageous Man-At-Arms''': Lean on me, you need not ask.
-->'''Powerful Leper''': [[EverybodyLives No death for you today, save that which you would sow.]]
-->'''Stalwart Abomination''': [[ScrewDestiny I can master it! We can master our fate!]]
-->'''Courageous Occultist''': We have survived thus far! We can survive so much more!
-->'''Vigorous Man-At-Arms''': Ah! My heart roars to serve alongside such stalwarts!
-->'''Focused Highwayman''': Look at you, all ready to knock some skulls!
-->'''Stalwart Leper''': The blackest night yields to brightest dawn.
-->'''Vigorous Houndmaster''': I cannot - I WILL not - falter in the pursuit of evil!
-->'''Focused Graverobber''': Look at you. All heroic. ''(wink)''
-->'''Powerful Highwayman''': I'll give ten percent to all of you, if we survive.
-->'''Courageous Hellion''': Look at me...You are going to make it -- ALL OF YOU!

--->'''Powerful Man-At-Arms''': Hear me brothers! I will redeem my debt!
--->'''Powerful Man-At-Arms''': I am forgiven! I am free!

-->'''Ancestor''': The sin is not in being outmatched, but in failing to recognize it.

* The Light, the primary deity worshipped by religious characters. Wether it is real or not, or maybe just some imagined aspect of the Heart, it still means that the people of this crapsack world has something benevolent and loving they place their faith in.

*** This is also arguably a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for humanity in the DD universe: Humans were created by [[spoiler: the Heart of Darkness, and not even intentionally; it's disgusted by humanity, and seeks to reabsorb it.]] But the Light is something ''humans'' made all by themselves. The Light is essentially a massive ShutUpHannibal to the entire uncaring cosmos and all the eldritch abominations therein.

-->'''Upgrading the Abbey''': A little hope, however desperate, is never without worth.
-->'''Upgrading the Tavern''': Strong drink, a game of chance, and companionship. The rush of life!
-->'''Upgrading the Blacksmith''': Fan the flames! Pump the bellows! We are raising an army!
-->'''Upgrading the Stagecoach''': [[DareToBeBadass Great heroes can be found even here, in the mud and rain.]]

** Basically anything involving the Houndmaster's dog is immensely touching - their ability, Lick Wounds? The Houndmaster hugs his dog. Know what his "getting hit" pose is? Using his body as a shield to protect his dog. His camping abilities? One of them is called "Therapy Dog", a ''positive'' case of RealityEnsues as the dog nuzzles up all three companions and and relieves a decent amount of stress from them.
