Best game endings? (hexbear.net)

My brain instantly goes to Sonic Adventure 2. 8 year old me was not ready for such a fun ending. Live and Learn coming on during the Sonic movie unlocked something in me, so cool

Not sure if this counts but my favorite quest series in RuneScape is the cabe goblin quests.

You find out that there exists a new group of goblins that live under lumbridge castle called the Dorgushuun. You meet one of them, Zanik. She is very shy but curious about the world and it’s really heartwarming when she sees the sun for the first time.

Long story short you battle some of her traumas and even her own fate in the Chosen Commander quest (the whole series feels like a metaphor for both racism and religious trauma.) and she becomes hailed as a hero to the Dorgushuun. Yeah, Jagex then fucked with the story and added unnecessary sequels that ruined that happy ending and turned it into a Zanik torture porn, but I’m just hoping that The Chosen Commander comes to OSRS and it ends on a 100% happy note again.

What makes this all the more impressive is that this is Runescape, the funny medieval cookie clicker where a lot of the quests end up being fun medieval saturday morning cartoon silliness. I would pay to see some single-player RPG of the RuneScape series. Keep the writers but have the gameplay done by Square Enix or something, it being a web mmo unfortunately adds some limits to the storytelling
