10 Video Game Side Missions That Made You Feel Guilty
2. The Taste Of Death - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Skyrim, just like other Elder Scrolls games, gives the player plenty of opportunities to act like the villain of the story. You can join the Dark Brotherhood and assassinate innocent people or join forces with the devilish Deadric Princes.
The mission for the Deadric Prince Namira has to be one of the more disturbing, as it requires you to trick a completely innocent priest of Arkay into becoming a meal for Namira's cult of cannibals.
The mission starts in Markarth, where Brother Verulus, the soon-to-be dinner of the cultists, asks the Dragonborn to investigate the reasons behind the mysterious bite marks left on the corpses in the Hall of the Dead. While exploring the Hall, the player meets a woman named Eola, who will tell them about Namira's cult in Skyrim and then ask them to bring Verulus to one of their cannibal feasts in exchange for a reward.
Players who decide to join the cult will have to watch as the poor and kind-hearted Verulus is brainwashed and put on a sacrificial altar. The Dragonborn must then kill Verulus and consume his flesh.
Talk about a bitter pill to swallow.
