Especially on rescue missions. Two examples that come to mind are The Witcher 2 and Fallout 3 (spoilers ahead).

I’ve been playing the Witcher 2 and Saskia was just poisoned. So far Ive had a beer with the guys and banged an elf I saved in the first chapter; before even leaving Vergen’s walls. I chuckled at the thought of Philippa Eilhart asking what took me so long.

Fallout 3 is another prime example. Explaining to my dad that I was too busy being abducted by aliens and tracking down Nuka Cola Quantum for a museum to rescue him.

Are there any games where NPCs shame the player for taking on too many side quests?

    From memory:

    • In ME1 Liara has different voice lines, depending on when you decide to recruit her.
    • In ME2 if you wait too long before the final mission, (most of) your crew dies which will affect the story of the last game.
    • In ME2 you have to talk to your crew regularly to get them to unlock special options or abilities.
    • Talk to Conrad Verner all the time in 1 and 2 and you’ll get a reward in 3.
