History Heartwarming / KnightsOfTheOldRepublic

* It might seem Disney-ish to the extreme, but if you play a Light Side male character, and that you romanced Bastila, you save her from the Dark Side literally with the power of love: she's there begging you to kill her to end her torment, and you just tell her that you believe in her, that you love her, and that since you were the Dark Lord, she can also be redeemed. And it works.

** The Light Side ending as a whole is one long CMOH, as Vandar calls the reformed [[spoiler: Revan]] "[[ProdigalHero the legend of the Prodigal Knight]]." GoodFeelsGood.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A81-aJUV6U redemption of Yuthura Ban]]. Particularly since you do it with basically just one ArmourPiercingQuestion - [[spoiler: If Yuthura embraced the Dark Side to save the slaves, when she becomes all-powerful and not limited by things like tenderness and mercy, ''why would she still care about the slaves?'']]

* The good ending of the FeudingFamilies quest. [[spoiler:If their fathers are still at each other's throats, Shen and Rahasia are still able to be together in the safety of the Jedi Enclave, and that's all that matters to them. Their heartfelt thanks to you is just the icing on the cake.]] A side order of HeartwarmingInHindsight comes up if you have Carth in your party. He gives his blessing, hoping that the young couple "knows the happiness I once did."
** Even better: [[spoiler:a successful Persuade check gets you the ''really'' good ending, in which the parents agree to settle their feud once and for all and build a new house for the couple.]]

** Also, Solomon's HeroicSacrifice [[spoiler: giving his life to heal Koybayashi, and finally making peace with his lost padawan, his [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Echani ethos]], and the Force itself]].
* [[spoiler: During the final confrontation on the Star Forge, a redeemed Revan asks for Malak's forgiveness and tells him he is sorry for setting him on the path to the Dark Side. Malak's response is that it was his fault for choosing to walk that path.]]
* The end of Jolee's speech after [[spoiler: TheReveal]]. Especially how sincere he sounds. ''"Does this change anything? I'm not here to judge you. You just do what you have to do. And I'll help if I can".''

* The cut female-only ending for the first game, if Revan was Dark Side. Basically, [[spoiler:Carth would walk onto the Star Forge, alone and unarmed, and make a truly touching AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Revan, much like what ''is'' in the game. However, in this ending, it ''works''--she decides to take her LastSecondChance, strikes down Bastila, and dies with Carth to let the Star Forge be destroyed, all because of her love for him. And the epilogue? It says that, in millennia to come, they "were not remembered for their crimes nor their weaknesses, but for their deeds, as heroes who saved the galaxy."]] And the best part is, it's very easy to mod back into your game.

* In the Light Side path, if you've completed Canderous's quests, he tells you right after you land on the the Star Forge.

* After TheReveal, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb_tgk9FWoY your party has a pow-wow on the ship]]. Carth is in full blown {{Justified|Trope}} [[ProperlyParanoid paranoia]] mode. But the rest of the crew? Nope. Starting with Mission, ''every single member of the crew'' stands up and announces they still trust you.[[note]]Well, HK-47 is programmed to be loyal, and Canderous just admires the man who smacked his people into submission.[[/note]] You can still destroy their trust, but...

** And at the "no going back" point on the temple-top, Jolee and Juhani show up and insist on helping you so you do not face what's in there alone. It's doubly heartwarming if you pick the Light Side option, since that means that Juhani has ''finally'' paid your character back for saving her twice. It's additionally sweet if you are playing Light Side female and manage to trigger the romance dialogue.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A81-aJUV6U redemption of Yuthura Ban]].

* Darth Malak, of all people. Saul informs him that Calo has been killed during a cutscene. He's kneeling in a manner as if he's expecting [[ShootTheMessenger to be killed]]. Malak reminds him that while the [[YouHaveFailedMe penalty for failure is death]], Saul had nothing to with it. Coming from someone who previously had an entire planet bombed, that's quite a PetTheDog moment.

* If you run into Dead-Eye Duncan again on Manaan, you can gift him your old duel-ring moniker of "The Mysterious Stranger" to let him quit the biz and finally receive some respect. (Since there's almost nobody left from Taris who can correct him.) The poor guy kinda deserves the break.

!HeartwarmingMoments for the video game ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'':

* If you play light side and female, the brig on the Leviathan, oddly enough. After he's singled out for "special attention" from [[JerkAss his former commanding officer and mentor]] in the torture chamber as a means to break ''you'' down, Carth "[[ProperlyParanoid I will never trust anyone ever again]]" Onasi says "I know you would never intentionally hurt me," and admits that, were your roles switched, he probably would've caved under interrogation to avoid making you suffer.

Basically, [[spoiler:Carth would walk onto the Star Forge, alone and unarmed, and make a truly touching AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Revan, much like what ''is'' in the game.

** There is another [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0RYOIVHQIY dummied out ending]] in which [[spoiler: Bastila ''and'' Malak can be saved, along with Carth and ''everyone lives'']].

* Reconciling Bastila and her mother Helena. They stop arguing and Bastila may have shown care and concern for her mother for the first time in many years. Likewise, Helena put her abrasiveness aside for once and let Bastila keep her father's holocron.

* After you control one of your party member and free everyone from prison, Carth, despite his paranoia, give his congratulations to the rescuer. Even to Canderous, whom he dislike.

* The scene in ''II'' where the Sith tomb hallucination makes you revisit Dxun, the bloodiest part of the Mandalorian Wars, is deeply touching. The path is mined, and you remember this as an unnecessarily, pointless feint where the soldiers died in vain. The commander asks you if they have to charge through, wanting their sacrifice to mean something.
-->'''Exile:''' Not this time. I'm going up there alone.
-->''(You destroy all the mines yourself and lead them to victory, saving their lives)''
** It's even more heartwarming (although a bit funny) if you have no demolitions skill, meaning you have to set off the mines [[{{Determinator}} by walking through them.]]
*** Or you can use the destroy droids ability if you want to be safe while doing so.
* Mira's cutscene, where she opens herself to the Force.
** Likewise, the scene with Atton where he lets go of his anger towards the Jedi and decides to embrace the Force.
--> '''Exile''': And at last Atton... ''awaken''.
** There is actually something more heartwarming in training Atton. Out of all your party members in 2, Atton is the only one who ''asks'' to be trained with out prompting. With all the others ''you'' offer first. Atton states that if he's trained to use his powers he'll be better able to help you along your quest, his exact words being the he'll "buy you some time when disaster comes screaming in"
* Kreia telling you[[spoiler:"I would have killed the galaxy to save you." Coming from the orchestrator of the entire game and the final boss, that was unexpected.]]

* Mical telling The Exile, "…and where they look at you and see the death of the Force, I look at you and see hope for all life."
** If the Exile is male, Visas will be the one who says the line.
