One thing that makes me laugh is imagining game protagonists explaining what took them so long. (leminal.space)

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?

Disco Elysium. Explaining to Klassje why you spent a week taking drugs and getting drunk before taking the dead body down from the tree.

Everything about that is actually sad.

In Mass Effect 2 your ship's whole crew can die if you take too long between story missions

I think in mass effect 2 the number of missions you do between personal quests affects the possible outcomes. Sometimes a character will send you a mail and be like: I just heard it's too late, we didn't get there in time.

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.
