Heartwarming / Quest for Glory

• Word of God said pirated copies of the first game found their way beyond the Eastern Block. People who played the game enjoyed how they could become a hero and savior of a whole valley. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, they took the time to write to the Coles to thank them. They said the game has helped them endure the difficult life in the Soviet Union.
• In Quest for Glory I:
  • The Hero bringing back the Baronet to his father. The soundtrack drives home the point that you just provided the man untold amounts of relief and hope after years of misery.
• In Quest for Glory II:
  • The Hero restoring Julanar's soul.
  • All the Kattas thanking you after having saved the town from the Elementals.
  • At the end, everyone in the land giving props for your heroic deeds in front of the Sultan.
• In Quest for Glory III:
  • The Sultan wishing you a safe trip and hugging you, his adoptive son, in the introduction.
  • Harami coming to your help and proving he's more than a Dirty Coward.
• In Quest for Glory IV:
  • Seeing the townsfolk treat the gravedigger as one of their own, and getting genuinely worried over his fate.
  • The Paladin finally offering release to the Rusalka.
  • The Paladin bringing back Pyotr's sword to the Burgomeister, leading to a Restored My Faith in Humanity moment.
  • Some of the dreams shared with Erana show how kind a soul Erana was, and they make the hero (and the player!) want to get closer to her and heal her loneliness.
• In Quest for Glory V:
  • A lot of heartwarming moments come from seeing characters from previous installments, a lot of whom have reached a happy ending:
    • Meeting again with Elsa, and seeing her carving her own path, being her own Hero, after a decade under the enchantment, and having to deal with a brother who firmly believed in Stay in the Kitchen.
    • Same for Toro, who finally gets to be his own person, more than just a calf rescued by Elsa, and owing her a debt.
    • Seeing more Katta folks, of course hailing from Raseir, and hearing that the Hero is now part of Katta legends and stories, and that Raseir is now ruled by Zayishah.
    • Hearing from Rakeesh that all of Tarna, the Simbani and Leopardmen are enjoying a well-deserved peace.
    • Seeing Salim and Julanar having set up shop together.
