This one's notable because a lot of people didn't know it existed. You can save Luzzu, but only by provoking Gazza into abandoning his post and going to the front lines, where he gets killed instead.

Basically, Sand and Qara hate each other more than they could ever respect and/or hate you. So one will always side with you, and the other against you.

The game has a heavy focus on the conflict between law and chaos, and whichever side you wind leaning more towards at the final level will determine which of two possible party members you have to defeat: Ignus is lawful, Vhailor if chaotic.

Notable, not just for being the first example of a branching storyline in a GTA game, but for being an example where the one who dies is the one whose advice you take.

Sergeant Roebuck / Private Polonsky - Call of Duty: World at War
Also notable for being the only choice with no clear good option. You either side with a backstabbing progressive or an honorable adherent to the most backwards and self-destructive society in existence.
