20 of the Most WTF Video Game Side Quests

Remember back in the old days, when video games were simple? “Shoot the duck.” “Hit the ping-pong ball.” “Leap over the man-eating piranha plant that lives in a pipe for some reason.” 

What’s that? You don’t remember any of that? Ugh. Kids these days. What are you even doing, lowering yourself to “reading” “words”? Don’t you have a TikTok to dance on?

Sorry. We don’t know where we went just now. The point is, video games used to involve a clear, uncomplicated objective, but now, they can tear you in a million different directions. Developers can make you do whatever they want, locking you inside a fascist prison of your own dopamine. So when user ZeusTheMooose asked r/AskReddit, “What is the strangest side quest in a video game?” tales of ancillary bullshit abounded.
