10 Funniest Side-Quests In Video Games
3. Paperchase - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood And Wine
Teenage readers won’t understand why this quest is funny, but give it a few years and it will all make sense.
And you’ll wish it didn’t.
Protagonist Geralt learns that he has come into money, which simply needs to be withdrawn at the local bank. Problem is, once he gets there he learns that he’s been declared dead and needs a permit to reactivate the account.
And so the fun begins.
Because this a bank, and banks mean bureaucracy, forcing Geralt to trudge from reception to customer services, then on to records, only to be told that he needs to fill out a form, a form that needs to be retrieved from, you guessed it, the customer service desk he just left where, wouldn’t you know it, the problem is that he’s still legally dead.
Older readers will be curled up in a foetal position, whimpering.
Luckily a bottle of perfume and some suave Witcher flirting gets Geralt moving and he soon has his cash – after dealing with a treacherous bank manager who, of course, has already spent it...on bad investments.
You can’t win, you just can’t.
