“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”
Any time a critical character dies (usually because you’re on a killing spree) it says that. But it’s also become a meme when someone famous dies in real life.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It happened when important NPCs died, rendering unfinished or future quests associated with that character impossible to complete or start; iirc essential NPCs didn’t have immunity to damage and death in Morrowind like in later Bethesda titles, so these NPCs were protected only by the player reloading their save after getting this message upon the essential NPCs’ death.

A few from Mr Torque from Borderlands:

“Had to be me.”
Also, there was a Warhammer RTS that had “AHH my spleen!!!” Which I never got over.
Warhammer Rogue trader has one character laugh and shout “haha! Reduced to dust” on a kill.

This ones great. Where does it come from?
Morrowind

I think we’re about six hundred doomed worlds deep by now. Eventually we hope to cross some kind of Einsteinian barrier to get to the other side

“Job’s done” Warcraft
My life for Aiur… er I mean Ner’Zhul
Warcraft has to be the one of the most quotable games of all time.
W-w-w-w-what do you want? Why do you keep touching me? 🎶
The secret audio track on the Warcraft 2 CD was amazing.
In the age of chaos…
In the age of chaos…
In the age of chaos, two factions battled for dominance.
Work work
Already?
Watchu want me kill?
They’re all so clear in my head.
Me not that kinda orc
“Ur, ur, ur!”
“Your sound card works perfectly”
Enjoying yourself?
Definitely. I also get “We’re ready!” “I’m not ready!” from Warcraft in my head every morning. My kids are trolls, maybe?
That’s a good 'un!
Juntax? Who you want me kill?
It’s been a couple decades and I don’t know how it was spelled, but that’s what I remember hearing. Loved playing the Horde.
Do you want axe? Except as “dyouwan tax?”
‘Stop poking me!’
“Get yer finger outta that bunghole!”
“I think I’ll use my human call. I’m so wasted, I’m so wasted”.
“Keep yer feet on the ground!”
Haven’t seen this one mentioned yet.
Titanfall|2
Upon your Titan noticing a new weapon that’s more powerful, the main character comments “I think someone’s in love…”
BT’s response is priceless.
BT-7274: “The human concept of love requires admiration, attraction, devotion, and respect. Conclusion: I am 50% in love.”
