No stereotypical tough-guy lines here. Just meaningful in-game food for thought:

Re: Favorite lines in video games
As I've recently taken up Planescape: Torment again:
"Luck abandoned you the day I found you, hag."
"It insults the dead when you treat life carelessly."
"You know that if everyone was immortal, then this entire petitioner system would be up the famed fecal creek. Immortality is not a trinket to be given to unruly children such as you."
"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me."

"Death before dishonour" they say, but how much dishonour are we talking about exactly? I mean, I can handle a lot. I could fellate a smurf if the alternative was death.

Re: Favorite lines in video games
In an attempt to avoid posting scurrilous one-liners, I've decided to make the following my contribution.
This first quote comes from the voice-over of World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King's opening cinematic.
Wrath's opening cinematic was a massive departure from Blizzard's previous cutscene material, which pretty much much consisted entirely of badass snippets of the various races of the game followed by the logo. Their previous attempt at a monologue was from the Burning Crusade into, provided by the penultimate raid boss of the expansion Illidan. And to be frank, it was fucking painful. The entire sequence of dialogue was all about Illidan first being all emocutcutcut and then yammering on about how he was going to headshot everyone. Wrath's into couldn't be more different - Arthas doesn't even speak. He lets his actions do the talking for him. His father's commentary runs throughout instead, a twisted memory of honor and love, at times mangled into a horrific irony as we get treated to a show of the Lich King's power and dread will.
Moving onto something a little less weighty and a bit more fun, a quote from the final event of the Arcatraz, one of the instances in WoW:

My child, I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon of righteousness. Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength, and I know you will show restraint when excercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end...you shall be king."

This line just cracked me up. After spending an hour crawling through this huge crystalline prsion, getting attacked by rampant demons and other unpleasantries, wondering what in the hell happened, you finally come face to face with this poor sod, a blood elf who got mindfucked by a giant psychic bug and threw open all the prison cells for the riot to follow. I have to admit though, the way he says the above line is really what makes it so great. And I have to hand it to the guy, poor dumb bastard or not, he has a pretty damn good evil laugh.Warden Mellichar wrote:"I-I knew the prince would be angry, but, I...I have not been myself.

Re: Favorite lines in video games
I'm trying to avoid those little snippets of selection dialogue, but most of the Rifle Section lines in Company of Heroes stick in the memory, favourites being the heartfelt 'SECTION IN THE SHITE!' and their continual bitching about anything and everything. About the only thing they appear to like are Bren Carriers and rifle grenades.
Most of my longer quotes aren't upbeat, so here's Murray.
Guybrush: What do you know about lifting voodoo curses?
Murray: Oh sure. I know a lot about lifting curses. That’s why I'm a disembodied talking skull, hanging on a spike, in the middle of a swamp!
Guybrush: You sound bitter.
Murray: I’m sorry, it’s been a rough day.
One for most FPS, really. Chernov's Diary, CoD:World at War.
April 30th 1945.
"When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero, someone we should all aspire to be like. At times I have seen him show mercy, but at others I viewed complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions."
A couple from Homeworld.
"Kharak is being consumed by a firestorm. The Scaffold has been destroyed. All orbital facilities destroyed. Significant debris ring in low Kharak orbit. Receiving no communication from anywhere in the system... not even beacons."
Fleet Intelligence sounds like he's having trouble coping with the scale of what's going on in his report. It seems like a response you'd actually get to watching your world burn.
"The Galactic Council recognised our claim to this world.
The sacrifice of thousands has left a trail of destruction behind us, like a path across the galaxy, to Hiigara, our Homeworld.
So much destruction... so many lives lost for this place; a place of wonder to those who knew only the sands of Kharak. Our colonists were released from their long sleep,
All symbols of the old Empire were destroyed, but the conflict will never be forgotten.
A celebration marked the beginning of a new time."
This is the end of the game. There's no glory, no grand celebration. It's mournful. You've won, but millions of your people have died.
On a similar note, FreeSpace 2:
"I remember stories of a glorious civilization, of cities with spires that reached the sun and a blue planet with vast seas. Of people with myths of Humanity everlasting, of children who saw in the embers of dying stars, the destiny of their race. And they hurled themselves into the void of space with no fear.
They say our people have no present, only a past filled with horror and a future they can only dream of."
Infact, any of the Ancients or Bosch Cutscenes from Freespace 1 and 2 are great. Bosch's second monologue is a particular favourite. A look inside the mind of your enemy.

1 of my favorite lines from Warcraft 3 also though Arthas' line is "Succeeding you. Father" and it's much better when in contextLord Pounder wrote:Warcraft 3
King Dude - "What are you doing son?"
Arthas - "Succeeding you"
those who don't know "Arthas" is Prince Arthas Menethil (crown prince of the kingdom of Lordaeron) and "king dude" is his father (King Terenas (II) Menethil), and Spoiler
Arthas has some other great lines too
for example Spoiler

Theres the CG of Arthas returning, the context really makes what he does all the better.
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary. “

Star Fox 64: "If I go down I'm taking you with me!" - Andross
It's pretty good for the context in which it was said, IMHO.
This is more of a snippet of dialogue than a single line, but
Starcraft: "I will not be stopped. Not by you, or the Confederates, or the Protoss, or anyone. I will rule this sector, or see it burned to ashes around me. If you even think of getting in my way . . " -Arcturus Mengsk
Starcraft: Brood War: "You sound worried, Kerrigan - have I caught you at a bad time?" - Arcturus Mengsk

Manty: It's a bit noisy. Is there some sort of party? Party hardy!
Laharl: ...Why are all my vassals like this?
Etna: Ever take a look in the mirror?

Flonne: Cool!

Etna: You serious?
Flonne: You better believe it!
Flonne: Um... But, I have a question for you guys.
Red: A question? Go ahead, shoot!
Flonne: You call yourselves "Prism Rangers", but you only have 3 colors. That's
not even enough for a rainbow.
Red: Isn't it obvious? We don't have any friends!
Red: Being a hero is a lonely existence!! You got it!?
Etna: Are you sure there's not another reason why you don't have any friends?
Laharl: ...You guys are heroes, aren't you? Why would you want to be Overlords?
Red: We want friends, of course! If we become the Overlords, then we'll have
tons of friends!!
Red: And the Prism Rangers will have all the colors of the rainbow!!

Etna: Bang<3

Hells yeah, and after you've played the game the simple phrase SpoilerReally, pretty much every line Ryan has in Bioshock is gold. Sander Cohen and Frank Fontaine are right behind him, but damn is Ryan one hell of an orator.

Same problem here. I'm not sure if it is forum dependent, or maybe has something to do with account status.

Re: Favorite lines in video games
Fallout 3 had quite a few lines that made me chuckle, like:
"I can't believe I'm being called a potty mouth by a cannibal"
Also while the units don't really say anything witty per se, I really liked the comments by the Space Marine commander units in Dawn of War.

Oh man, people are posting huge blocks of irrelevant WoW fluff nobody reads... internet over. 
Bosch's monologues were pretty cool too, but I'm not going to disgust anyone by posting pages of pretentious claptrap.

What can change the nature of a man?
Anyone who has played Planescape: Torment knows this line and probably has shivers right now from just reading it.
"Pay no attention to the average middle-aged man standing by this sign."
-Sign from Link to the Past.
"Life is long when you live it, oh but so short when you look back..."
-Baiten Katos
""Today you have brought me... Cancer. I'm truly grateful."
-Baiten Katos
In Baiten Katos you collect little star items as a game-long side-quest which you give to some guy in a temple that is making a star map. 'Cancer' is name of one of the items you bring him.
Zelos Wilder: Oh... hey Lloyd? If you abandon me here, I swear, I'll come back to haunt you.
Lloyd Irving: ... I just had a sudden, violent urge to abandon you.
