Best/worst in-game love story

[The Cheezy One]

what is the best or worst love story in a game?
my least favourite would be final fantasies in general. there is asolutely no reason they fall in love apart from convenience, they just... do
(i did search in forums to see if this was done before, and couldnt see anything - if it has, i apologise)

Cloud and Aeris. Why?

This.

Also, do the Sims count? Since, I mean, they just sort of fall in love as long as you do one flirt action and have their relationship high enough.

The Masterchief and Cortana.

Best one is definitely Zoë and Reza (she doesn't quite say it, but there's no question she's in love with him) from Dreamfall: The Longest Journey.

I usually don't get character heavy games so one of the few and best I've experienced would be the new Prince and Elika. *prepares Flame proof armour*

[Davey Woo]

Overlord + His Minions/Gnarl for the best love story.
"Giblet, wake up, there's forging to be done! Heehee"

Worst I'd have to agree with Masterchef and Cortana.
Or possibly Alyx/Gordan Freeman even though it's not truly existent seeing as Gordon's MUTE!

Hmmm, I would say that the best would be that between the prince and Farah in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

The worst? This is a lot harder, as most of the time, someone of the other gender tends to throw her/himself at the feet of the protagonist for no apparent reason. The hero get's the girl, just because it's supposed to happen, no thank you.

Edit: sorry for the ninjaing

 

[Ace of Spades]

Best would be The Prince of Persia and Farah.
EDIT: Damn, Ninja'd again.

 

[agerdemon]

Gordan Freeman and Alyx Vance, purely because there is sexual tension and only one of them can speak.

 

[I_hate_portal]

Mario and the Princess, Been saving her ass since Donkey Kong.

 

[SharPhoe]

Any love story you make in Fable II.

Barring that, definitely Master Chief and Cortana, since one of them is a goddamn COMPUTER PROGRAM.

 

[crusha_aa]

Couple best ones:
Manny and Meche from Grim Fandango.
Max Payne and Mona Sax from Max Payne (obviously).

Can't really think of any bad ones off the top of my head.

I don't either (mainly because games with decent character development seem to lack good gameplay as opposed to me disliking deep stories). So I agree.

Yes, but that is their opinion, not ours...

 

[Pseudonym2]

The worst is Sonic and and a human underage women in Sonic 2006.

The best would be Shepperd and whoever you choose in Mass Effect but there's probably a better choice I'm not thinking of.

My favortie is probly be Revan and whoever you liked from KoToR.

The worst would have to be any in final fantasy I have only played a few of them but they are all terrible.

ummm...cortana and master chief...realy she would help him even if he didnt like her. its just useless and has no reasoning behind it aside from " hey go find gravemind and kill him...oh and dont forget about cortana". her only use to the story is she allowed the flood to find earth. that is it! anouther use for her is she is naked and the little kids love that. maybe thats why theres so many 10 year olds playing halo 3
