Planescape: Torment/Tear Jerker

For a game named "Torment", it can be quite funny and lighthearted at times. But when it does get serious, you will quickly realize that the name is very apt indeed.


 * The ending(s) of Planescape: Torment are tearjerkers. The best ending is bittersweet. The bad ones are crushingly tragic.
 * Deionarra's plight is one of the most Tear Jerking aspects of this game, for those who have any tears to shed. Her haunting theme helps a good bit.
 * The "Longing" sensory stone contains a memory that describes, in a most heart-breaking way, how Deionarra perceives the Nameless One. The experience is amplified by his own memory of that event, revealing that
 * When you talk to Deionarra for the last time, you can choose to spin a Practical Incarnation-style lie to get her to help you, and she does.
 * Any character back story in that game is liable to crush your soul.
 * And their respective scenes in Fortress of Regrets, when it is revealed what happens to those who travel with The Nameless One. Annah's is particularly sad and emotional one.  At least, with the best ending, they recover.
 * There's a woman who works in the Smoldering Corpse just so she can be near Ignus - which is already a sad thing, since he seems much more in love with flames than with everything else.  Maybe flames weren't really everything for him.
