I always found the opening speech of Visari in Killzone 2 to be really good

Literally every single speech is cringe and autistic. I never liked speeches. I even interrupt them and juts throw a dagger at the faggot NPC that tries to speech his way around me.

Fuck speeches, they are for literal autists

...

Sounds like somebody has ADHD.

ow

>autistic screeching about speeches, a thing humanity has done since we learned to talk

yeah we're all the austists, not you. mm hmm.

I bet you play video games.

Hey, I play video games and I like cool speeches, don't throw me in with that fag

Shame the actual gameplay of Machine for Pigs was so weak, the story itself was really solid.

Not so much a speech as it is a dialogue, but it still gives me shivers.

Nier 1 spoilers by the way, as a warning.

Basically every PC party.

Here's a speech I had my DH players listen to right before a Necron invasion. I made it from various bits of Reaper dialogue from Mass Effect.

Man, despite the bullshiterry of ME3, the Reapers are still such a cool set of villains.

Surprised no one's brought up LotR. That shit's epic speech central.

I once had a court session where their employer was being harangued and harried and he wasn't necessarily the best at speechcraft, it was almost preordained he'd fuck up, but the [bard analogue] rolled to inspire -him- since he couldn't speak out of turn.

The result of that (ludicrously high) roll was the character in question shouting down his nephew who was trying to usurp his birthright, and the resulting argument getting the person in question exiled from the principality by the governor, right on the spot.

I can't do it justice, because it was entirely off the cuff, but I had two of the players contact me afterward and go "jesus damn, dude." in regards to the candor and fire of the speech.

It helped that I knew his motivation pretty well; and like the party/players/setting enough to really have some oomph in me for it.

Almost cheating user
Sam's speech at the end of the Two Towers is GOAT

Say what you want about GoT, but Tyrion's rallying speech was great
It was interesting to hear a speech that was so brutally honest; fighting for glory was dumb, because the common man would gain none, instead fight for your own things, wife, home, etc.
Also worthy of mention, his speech when he confessed at his trial at the moment he snapped

That ain't too fucking bad, user
Hope your players appreciated it

They lost their collective shit once they realized what the speaker was. It was pretty great.

GoT is trash. Read the books.

the books are boring too, but not show levels

GoT really is trash and there is nothing good about it, only meme loving cucks like it

The show is more concise than the books. In some cases, this leads to over-simplification of the plot, though most of the time, it keeps it from straying into stupid grimdark territory that just detracts from the overall narrative (ie Lady Stoneheart).

GoT is great, and only people whose entire education of the franchise comes from memes would think otherwise.

How the fuck can you complain about Lady Stoneheart as something that detracts from the overall narrative?

first of all, nobody knows the overall narrative in the books
secondly, lady stoneheart is literally name in like one chapter out of over 60 total chapters, it doesn't detract shit

You are a memeloving cuck, and it shows

>words that would give Horus Fucking Lupercal second thoughts.

...

context: dwarven barbarian, in full plate, got hired alongside the party to deal with a demonic cult, to make a long story short, party ends up having to venture into an active volcano to stop a summoning, they get there too late and a demon has already been spawned, it proceeds to go on a long speech on how afraid the mortals should be, how scary he is and such, what follows is this:

>Demon spawns and starts rambling.
>at the beginning of the rant Dwarf Barbarian in full plate rips off his waterskin (which is full of strong booze) and drinks it all in one go.
>Demon notices it and expresses that it is mildly miffed at the disrespect
>dwarf says "look laddie, I was far too sober to listen to a red skinned smooth faced cunt to tell me about how scared I should feel now, so how about you shut yer fucken mouth and get to the point".
>Dwarf starts raging and powers trough the flames conjured by the demon and proceeds to tackle it.
>both fall to a pool of molten rock.
>the last thing the party sees is them slowly submerging as the demon yells in pain, both from the lava and the angry dwarf hacking at his face with a handaxe.

What kind of self-respecting demon can't swim in lava?

It wasnt the lava that got him. It was the angry dwarf chopping up his face with an axe

I need to see this cartoon. I heard it's pretty good, and I'm already sold.

That was a pretty sweet idea, thanks user
