1!!''VideoGame/FableII''
2* When you return from the Spire after ten long years of abuse, [[CanineCompanion your dog]] is the first one to greet you off the dock, complete with face-licking and just being so damn pleased to see you again.
3* The "Perfect World" sequence is NightmareFuel for a reason, but if you pass it, you hear Rose's voice telling Sparrow they had passed [[SecretTestOfCharacter the test]] and obtained [[MacGuffin the one object that can defeat Lucien, encouraging her sibling to confront him]].
4* At the end, Hammer calling you the greatest friend she's ever had.
5* Perform good, friendly, or funny expressions in front of Theresa, and she'll wistfully remark, "You remind me of someone I knew once. Long, long ago." It's a tiny moment, easily missed, but it feels good to players of the first game to know that they haven't been forgotten.
6* At the end of "The Blind Date", [[RetiredBadass Farmer Giles]] [[GoodParents accepts his son Rupert's homosexuality without any criticisms or resistance]].

8!!''VideoGame/FableIII''
9* The Hero of Brightwall and Walter's [[ParentalSubstitute relationship]]. To hear Walter tell it, he'd tell the Hero of Brightwall stories about their Hero parent. Every single time, the Hero would ask Walter: "Teach me to be a Hero." (Though this gets a tragic CallBack at the end of the FinalBoss fight.)
10** As the pair make their way through Mourningwood, Walter comments fighting by his young charge's side was [[LikeParentLikeChild like fighting alongside their parent years ago]].
11* At the end of the "Kidnapped" quest, if you reunite with Elise/Elliot (that is, if you chose to spare them very early in the game after Logan presents the SadisticChoice), you have the choice of professing your love for them or [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy encouraging them to stay with their current love interest]]. If you choose the latter, the two of you share a warm hug. Heart-melting is guaranteed.
12* After the Hero of Brightwall collapses in the Auroran desert after being tormented by the Crawler, they're found by Kalin and Ben. Ben tells the Hero to hang tight and assures them they'll find Walter. Later, after the Hero is brought to Aurora, they wake up and ask about Ben, who walks up and delivers the following line:
13-->'''Ben:''' A devilishly handsome soldier by the name of Ben Finn? [[SincerityMode Not dead yet, my friend.]]
14* Ben telling the Hero he persuaded Kalin to organize a search party to look for them and Walter after fearing the Hero and Walter were dead following the attack by Logan's soldiers and realizing "I was being an ass."
15* After the Hero is crowned, there's something about Logan's shocked, completely genuine smile in the middle of all the crowd's booing if you choose to spare his life.
16* After you defeat the Crawler by killing its unwilling host Walter, a dying Walter tells the Hero "[[SoProudOfYou You've done me proud]]" after they say "[[CallBack Teach me to be a Hero]]." But if you've played as a male Hero, he adds "boy" to that line. Doubles as a TearJerker given the circumstances.
17* The praise you receive from your allies at Walter's funeral after the defeat of the Crawler if you kept all your promises after becoming King/Queen. Highlights are Kalin saying her people are honored to be part of Albion, and Page giving you a respectful bow and vowing to continue serving you the best way she can.

19!!Unsorted
20* If you have a daughter (adopted or not), you can pick them up and hug them. There's a likely chance that, when you do, she will say "Snuggles!" in the most adorable way possible, you can't help but grin at the sheer amount of heartwarming to be found in that one word.
