8 Ways Video Games Make No Sense (And We Don't Care)

8. Going Years Without Sleeping, Eating Or Drinking - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

As amazing as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is, it's undeniably hilarious that the game offers a small temporary buff for sleeping, but doesn't punish players at all for choosing not to sleep.

More to the point, the game's menu tracks both how many in-game days have passed as well as how many hours you've slept, basically drawing attention to how ridiculous it all is.

After all, considering the hundreds if not thousands of days your average Skyrim player will eventually rack up, it's completely comical to do so with just a few hours of kip.

Similarly, food and drink can provide health and stat benefits, but there's absolutely no need to consume either. 

And so, it's entirely feasible for the Dragonborn to be a sleep-deprived zombie who hasn't eaten or drank anything in literally years.

It doesn't make a lick of damn sense, but it is an absolute riot, especially as the game itself actively keeps count of this wanton absurdity. Never change, Bethesda.
