10 Times Video Games Were TOO Realistic

10. A Trip To The Bank - The Witcher 3

Going to a bank or an office is the annoying little cousin at the table of adulthood. No one likes it, but everyone has to tolerate it.

But hey! At least video games let you avoid these "joys" of adulting, right? Well, the Witcher 3 would beg to differ.

The Witcher 3's side mission "Paperchase" takes Geralt to the wonderous and fantastical location of... a dimly lit bank, where he performs the exciting feat of... reinstating his account after the bank has mistakenly proclaimed him dead.

Yes, this is a real mission. And it's even complete with all the beloved bank activities, such as speaking with frustrated clerks, filling out confusing paperwork, and everyone's favorite—waiting in lines!

The quest perfectly captures the existential dread of wasting an entire day trying to resolve one simple matter at your bank. And to truly nail the realism on the head, all the paperwork and effort you put into getting your account back doesn't do anything, as in the end, it turns out the bank has already "invested" all your money!

Whoever wrote this quest clearly had a bad bank experience one day and channeled all their hatred of it into their work.

Honestly? Good for them!
