Probably Megaton from Fallout 3. (Not sure if I should spoil it or not. So I won't say it)
The only thing I had to think about was whether or not I have done all there is to do in Megaton or not.

I'd had Fallout 3 spoiled to hell and back on me, so I knew what was coming if I did things Mr. Burke's way. I was all set going into the game to nuke an entire city---I'd seen it on YouTube and thought it was cool.
Until I talked to the people. Gob and Nova, Lucy West, Lucas Simms, the Stahl family, and yes, even Moira Brown, whose infectious cheerfulness resonated with me---in the real world, infectiously cheerful is a quality I look for in people.
I couldn't do it. When I went in and saw Mr. Burke, I popped into VATS and got myself a shiny new toy with a silencer off his corpse. Megaton is MY town in Fallout 3. Clean water for Micky, research for Moira, a happy ending for the Wests...and one defused bomb.

Dragon Age Origins: Orzamar

The thing that bugs me is that most games have a better option eg
Take option one and you get ten thousand experience plus a unique weapon/piece of armour.
Take option two and get five thousand experience and fifty thousand Which you've already earned twice as much as whilst getting here.
I mean option one is obviously better,
even worse when one coice is obviously the "good" one.
Option one: Save all the lickle wickle orphans.
option two: murder all the lickle wickle orphans.
Option one is the one that everyone is gonig to pick unless they are deliberatly playing an arsehole.
In mass effect 2 both options are argueably good the renegade/paragon points are for the method not the morality.
In dragon Age it doesn't even give you Morality Points you are left with only your own opinion and perspective of morality to decide what is "Right".
And especially wel done in dragon age is how your perspective can change completley depending on your origin story eg
I was a Human wizard and in orzamar you have to make a choice after much thought I decided that one choice was better in the long run due to my personal beliefs.
After playing as a dwarf noble I changed my opinion on what was better once again due to my personal beliefs the only thing that changed was my perpective.
