Gremio sacrificing himself to save Tir. The lack of hesitation Gremio had when acting to save Tir and the rest of the party, the way the loss destroyed Tir in that moment. The following scene playing out in complete silence as you finally pull yourself out of bed and face your responsibilities, your closest friends and companions offering support, condolences, and disbelief at the loss. Flik reminding you not to betray the expectations that Gremio had for you right before you make your way to the war room to prepare for battle with the one that killed Gremio. I always appreciated that it wasn’t a quick loss, it was given a little time to breathe and sink in, it had weight. The game also provides you the opportunity for vengeance or forgiveness.
I wish I could play that game again for the first time.

That whole game was so wonderful. The music, the base building, the slow discovery of everything you can do, all of it.
