10 Most Bizarre Gaming Features We Just Accept

This entry is pretty much as old as gaming itself, so why do we still keep falling for it?

We've all been there, out in the wide open worlds of The Witcher, Skyrim, or Breath of the Wild.

With inventory stocked and our trusty steed in tow, we set off to fulfil our next brave quest.

The hero dashes across the open plain, crosses a fast-flowing river, encounters a three foot high picket fence... and stops dead in their tracks.

Real people in the real world would either (a) climb over or (b) kick down the fence.

Gamers, however, react by thinking, "Okay, I can't get through that way, I'll find another path".

This is so commonplace we barely even notice it anymore.

We are constantly hindered by fences, walls, doors, boulders, trees and even furniture, with nary a finger raised in objection.

Whilst some of these would undoubtedly be legitimate hindrances to progress in the real world (like a massive boulder in your way, for example), others are just plain silly.

How is this massive, twenty stone, half-wolf / half-barbarian, axe-wielding brute going to get past this small wooden door?

Have a guess.
