Day 9 - Saddest game scene.

Not exactly saddest but it seems to fit the intent, the most emotionally powerful scene I've ever played in a video game was in the original KotOR. I hit a point where it seemed obvious that there was a Light Side/Dark Side choice, perhaps the last one for the game, so I saved my game before making my Light Side choice, since Ahndie was an incredibly good and honorable Jedi. Then after playing on for a bit, I went back and loaded up the save game to try out what I assumed would be the dark side path. It was. I turned to the dark side, and because I had leveled up Force Persuade I was able to make Zaalbar the Wookie execute Mission, the teenage girl that I had rescued from the slums.

It was awful, it felt so incredibly evil and was deeply upsetting to play. It was incredible that a game could help create those feelings, and I think is one of the high point accomplishments of our industry. This was art, without a doubt.
