The Best Videogame Speech...

[Epicspoon]

what about thoma's speech from record of agarest war?


Young Elf: B-But... had she not brought you here, none of this would have happened! Even if the dark elf did not draw the monsters herself, this is still her fault!

Thoma: A slow mind will never win a woman's heart, you know. Besides, she has a name?Lavinia. And a pretty name at that. Perhaps you could be a gentleman and use it?

Young Elf: Be silent, outsider! You know nothing of us! You should not profess opinions on that which you do not understand!

Thoma: I may be an outsider, but I hardly see why that deserves such an exaggerated display of emotion. And where, may I ask, were you, while we were fighting to save your village? While Lavinia was fighting desperately to save your village? How pathetic you are, to cast blame on one who risked her life to protect yours. Elf, dark elf, it matters not. A woman is a woman. There are women who surpass me in strength. There are those who I surpass. But many women do not know how to fight. If you are strong, what is your obligation as a man? What must you do when women are in danger? Do you cast aside those whom you do not care for, and abandon them to their fate? Or do you give aid to women in peril, regardless of whether you love or hate them? How can you call yourself a man when you hide from danger and tell the person who saved you to leave? You, my friend, are not only a failure as a man, but as a person as well.

Captain Kihrahi's (SP) "Hold the Line" speech in ME 1.

Akama reflecting on the history of the Black Temple.
More of a monologue really I suppose, but all the definite ones have already been mentioned.
Just love the intonation in the final section.

[Thomas Devita]

President Harling and Prime Minister Nikanor's speech at the end of Ace Combat 5. Awesome. The speech from Ace Combat 4 was also pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZTR6ivJsw4&feature=related

 

[Goofguy]

SPEHSS MAHREENS!

No but seriously, I'd have to go with Shepard's speech in the Collector base during the Suicide Mission in ME2. It's made better by the fact that you have some options as to what he/she says.

Scholar Visaris Speech.

The game itself isn't that good, but the speech, oh, so very much.

My debit to you is over Knight Captain. Don?t think this has anything to do with you. It doesn?t. But your uncle, he poisoned everything right from the start. You, I respect, but ol' Duncan... He just can't leave well enough alone sometimes. You see Duncan, he save my life once. Found me outside my burning village; nothing but dead Luskin all around. Thing is, I was the one who burned that place to the ground, and I didn?t want any witnesses. Then Duncan comes along, right when I was wounded, barely holding on, and I can?t do anything to silence him. That?s it really, nothing complicated, just settling debits that never should have been made. It was part of an initiation ceremony into a Luskin assassination squad, like ol' Lorrne once was. It's something they order all new recruits to do, whether they want to or not. And I don't care for that too much. You see, they order you to slaughter a Neverwinter village as part of the initiation ceremony. I decided to take care of two problems at once, and I chose my own. You see, for every West Harbor that gives rise to someone like you... Someone great.... there's a hundred of me, that end up going down the other path. And my village,... not worth talking about, it doesn?t even deserve to survive. So when they ordered me to destroy a village of my choosing, I saw a chance to kill the Luskins, and kill the place that helped make me the fine, upstanding man you see before you... all as a fortunate accident. I was going to burn the village to try and kill the Luskans who were watching over me. It was a trap... but those villagers, those fools, they wouldn't leave when I told them to, so they died too. I set a bunch of fire around the perimeter, let it all come circling in, and they all burned, like sheep trapped in a corral. I told them to leave, to run, but they wouldn't leave their houses, especially when I told them, so they deserved to die right along with the Luskins watching me. I took a few arrows, had some wounds, and to be honest, I wasn't sure I was going to get out of there alive. I was to weak to fight back, but it didn't matter, because for the first time, I felt all these chains come off of me. I felt free at last, but then Duncan came along right at the end, tying me to that place, tying me to Luskin, tying me to the past. He saved my life, and then he said I owed him - in that stupid joking voice of his, but I knew what he meant, he was blackmailing me with what he knew. Then he called his debt due, and that debt was to help you. And I had to do it, else he would have told everyone that I was at that village.. and then the Luskins would have come looking for me. I don?t like obligations like that. Or obligations like you.

Starts at 1:53. The video/audio of this isn't great, but it's the best I can find.

I like this speach because it expalins his character quite well.

That first quote... seems like it was altered slightly and taken from a book called Fitzpatrick's War... I dont know why I felt I had to point that out.

I really liked Auron's speech before the Yunelesca fight. Best speech ever? Probably not by a long way but it was good.

There are a load in the Legacy Of Kain series that are really good.
