10 Video Game Quests That Made You Question Your Humanity

2. By The Book - Grand Theft Auto V

Rockstar has never shied away from controversy when it comes to Grand Theft Auto, but By The Book in the fifth entry really took this infamous reputation to a wholly different level.

The quest is given by FIB agent Steve Haines to Trevor and Michael. Players are tasked with killing a man named Tahir Javan, but to learn more about his identity they are forced to torture a man named Ferdinand Kerimov in a small warehouse.

As Trevor, players will be presented with an assortment of items that they must use to torture Kerimov. These methods can range from a wrench (with players choosing where they are going to hit the man), waterboarding, cigarette burns, electric shocks from a car battery and pliers that will remove the man's teeth which will cause him to increasingly slur.

It's a really difficult sequence to play through, and the fact that players are tasked with choosing what methods and items they use to torture a largely innocent man is sure to leave them with a few moral quandaries.
