Serious question: what do you think makes a good feel trip plot? As in, what are some attributes of games that you believe make people want to cry/get emotional while playing said game?

Getting the player emotionally attached to a main side character and then killing them later in the story.

Making a character very stoic, reserved, and cool under pressure so that when they start crying or losing it it's maximum impact (@Professor Layton and Emmy)

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Your characters need to have humanity to them. They need to be relatable. The player needs to not feel as if they are watching a story play out, but that they are watching real people doing real things. Then you can go wild.

Noble sacrifice, going through horrible emotional pain, tragic backstories, all the like.

Alright, thanks for your thoughts!
A follow-up question:
How far is too far in developing a feel trip plot? Is there a certain point where it just becomes sadistic & cynical instead of emotional?
