Sam Fisher and Irving Lambert from Splinter Cell. Sure he's Fisher's boss, but Fisher still gives him gripe at every turn :p

"What are you doing Fisher!!"
"Present for you , Sam. Kill as many as you want"

"Lambert, now that I'm holding ten million in bonds... I think it's time to talk about that raise..."
"Hmm... Fifteen cents an hour and not a penny more!"

Alex and Eli from Half Life 2. His death is the saddest I have ever felt from a video game.
Seconded, great first post, welcome to the Escapist, enjoy your stay and have fun!

I'm also going to go for Jade and her "uncle" Pey'j from Beyond Good and Evil - a great parent/'child' relationship.

I always loved the love relationship between Adel and Rozalin in Disgaea 2. Though it was kinda predictable some of their interactions with eachother made me die.

I find Jaheira and Aerie's relationship in Baldur's Gate 2 very fun. They are constantly bitching/nagging at each other in well-scripted dialogue, (especially good if your hitting on one of them).

I kinda skimmed but didn't notice anyone say Minsc and Boo, the greatest couple ever in history.

I loved all the relationships between characters in BG2, but my favourite will always be the romance (if you pursue it) between Aerie and the player character. It has a tenderness that is seldom seen in videogame romances.

My all-time favourite though is Cloud and Tifa in FFVII, for many of the same reasons. Some of the later scenes between them are incredibly moving.

A special mention too for Xzar and Montaron in Baldur's Gate 1: "Montaron, you are so aggravating!"

One of the last times I actually cared when the computer abducted my love interest in a game, and not just because they took a good character out of my party.

Anyone and anyone in Planescape: Torment. But especially the Nameless One and Annah.
Especially when training each other to be better thieves...

I need to replay these gems... ah, Black Isle

Red and Blue from the first Generation Pokemon games of the same name. Why?

Consider this: When Red first fights Blue after their incident at the lab, he has a Rattata. Since he keeps it around, it evolves into a Raticate, which Red fights on the SS Anne before fighting Surge. Red doesn't see him for a while before suddenly running into him in the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town. Where he is facing a lone gravestone. When Red talks to him, he turns and rather angrily asks him what he's doing here, since none of his pokemon look dead. He then asks Red if he know what it feels like. From that battle onward, he never has his Raticate again.

So with that in mind, let's consider something else: Blue's Raticate was severely injured in the fight on the SS Anne, but because of all the confusion and chaos on a major cruiseliner the boy couldn't find it medical care fast enough, and it died. When Red finds him in Lavender Town, he was putting his old departed friend to rest. He never outwardly tells Red that he's responsible, but he does know it. Despite trying to tell himself that it's not Red's fault, that it was just bad luck, he knows it was you that killed his pet, and he will never truly forgive him. But he doesn't harbor an active grudge or attempt to kill him, nothing so childish. That impish kid nature of his shattered long ago. Instead he channels this grief and rage into determination: To fulfill his promise to his departed friend and become the Kanto champion: To finally show Red up and make him face humiliation. Which he does... For all of five minutes, before Red appears and decimates his team again. On top of that, Professor Oak, his only remaining father figure (yeah, he doesn't have any parents) appears, chastises him for 'not caring about his pokemon enough' after all he did for just one of them, and then piles praise and glory on Red. After this Blue is never seen again in the game, and I think we all know why.

Keep in mind that Red is the player character. So throughout the course of a kid's game, you singlehandedly destroy a young boy without laying a finger on him.

The Prince and Farah.

True love was never so hurtful and insulting.
Yep, that one is up there for me.

And Ezio Auditore and Leonardo da Vinci have a bromance going on.

Raziel and Kain from the Legacy of Kain series
This this and this tenfold. I was actually going to start this exact thread yesterday for the pure reason of pointing this out to the unfortunate few that don't know the LoK series. But i was too lazy.
