10 Video Game Side Quests You Should NEVER Finish
8. Who Are You To Judge? - Red Dead Redemption
This one mission from Red Dead Redemption 1 isn't just a waste of your time; it also tricks you into helping a mentally disturbed man fulfill his equally disturbing fantasies.
The stranger mission "Who Are You To Judge?" begins with John meeting a distraught stablehand named Jeb. Jeb explains that his lover Lucy has been kidnapped and begs John to rescue her, which the man reluctantly accepts.
Sounds innocent enough, right? It's just your classic damsel-in-distress story that ends with John reuniting two lovers after an intense shootout with nasty bandits.
Well, not quite. You see, there are nasty bandits to shoot, and John can bring Lucy back to Jeb in one piece; however, to put it simply, Lucy is a horse.
That's right. As soon as you bring her back to Jeb, the man reveals that his relationship with the animal is a little more "intimate" than you'd expect. As Jeb starts caressing the horse and saying sweet nothings to her, John gets laughed at by a woman he thought was Lucy originally, and then he leaves the scene with nothing but regret and shame as his reward.
They call it the Wild West for a reason.
