One of my favorite memories is in Ultima 7, crafting the black rock sword. One of my first RPG experiences, you start the game learning about a mystical/magical metal called black rock, and lit culminates in you crafting the ingredients in a blacksmith shop. You have to forge it with a stone possessed by a demon, who tells you that you are now master and slave of the black rock sword. You can then use it to insta-kill some enemies, and at times the sword would kill who it chose. Now that I type it out I feel I am not giving it justice, but that was bad ass, putting all of those pieces together and going through the smithing process, anticipating getting such a godlike weapon.
One of the first games I played fanatically (yet my mom was still better at it than me) *edit* I grew up with the film and still watch it at least once a year. [video=youtube;bCTIErnqDpo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCTIErnqDpo[/video]
