10 Best Video Game Side Quests NOBODY Played

10. They Won't Go When I Go - Cyberpunk 2077

Games can often be at their best when they don't broadcast choices. Such is the case with this side quest in CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, which can only be accessed based on your actions.

If you're playing thoroughly, you'll eventually receive a call from one of your mercenary handlers, Wakako, directing you to a client who wants revenge on Joshua Stephenson, the man who killed his wife. Ambushing him and two cohorts in a vehicle, your client will lose his cool and attempt the hit himself. At this point it would make sense to jump in and save him, as he is paying you.

However, if you allow him to be shot and killed, Joshua will invite you to join him in a sort of pilgrimage where he attempts to make amends for one of his former victims, culminating in a penance.

By simply sticking by his side throughout his journey, you will eventually be called to the event in question: a live crucifixion of Joshua which you can perform yourself.

It's a pretty dark and gnarly ride, and it's largely out of your hands. In this moment you're a spectator to someone else's big moral choices, rather than the one making them.
