Would you kindly?
And the realisation that I not only have no choice if I want to progress the plot, but that at no point to now could I have progressed the plot had I not 'kindly' done as requested.
It was such a clever device to put in the story. Innocuous or obvious requests at first until it reached a point where you are forced to kill a guy. Or stop playing. It's the most original and mind-blowing concept I've seen put into a game. I still think of it whenever someone asks me to 'kindly' do something.
(In case anyone doesn't know, though I probably just spoiled one of its biggest moments if you don't)
