10 Funniest Side-Quests In Video Games

The Day Deathwing Came is a classic case of what happens when three man-children get into an argument over who has the biggest biceps. Make the crux of the argument the slaying of the biggest, baddest dragon in Warcraft, and the result needs to be seen to be believed.

First we have the dwarf, Theldurin the Lost, who claims he fought his way through a throng of elementals and punched Deathwing in the face. Not to be outdone, his mate, Lucien Tosselwrench, compensating for his diminutive gnomish stature, claims he used a device to turn into a giant, then yanked Deathwing out of the sun and threw him to Kalimdor. But the best is saved for last. Martek the Exiled, an Orc, jumps aboard his custom chopper, babe in hand, and flies, yes flies, his motorcycle at Deathwing with every intention of getting into a knife fight. With a dragon.

Hilariously, the game lets you act all of this out. You actually get to fly a motorcycle, stomp about the Badlands as a giant and yes, even punch the Deathwing in the face.

It’s gloriously stupid, and stupidly fun, an artful lampooning of the oft fragile male ego and the ludicrous lengths some gents will go to to cover it up.
