Console Games That Make You Feel Like a Hero

There’s nothing like the feeling of stepping into the shoes of a hero in a console game—but which games do you think do the best job of making you *feel* like a hero, and what elements create that feeling? Is it the big, epic quests where you save the world, the small moments where you help individual characters, the way other in-game characters react to your actions (like thanking you or looking up to you), or the sense that your choices actually matter, and did any of these games make you feel a sense of pride in the hero you were playing as?
