10 Video Games That Knew You'd Try To Break Them

4. How’d You Get Here? - Fallout 3

This one is an oldie but a goodie. There’s a guard called Stockholm standing above the entry to Megaton and no discernible way to actually reach him but where there is a horde of gamers and a seemingly impossible objective, somebody will be determined enough to figure it out.

And that’s exactly what happened. Whether by using mods or a very precise set of jumps and clipping through scenery you actually can make your way atop the gate.

Instead of just standing there and marvelling at your ability to stand slightly higher than you previously had been, Bethesda actually programmed dialogue for the guard chiding you for wasting his time and then asking the player how on earth they managed to get up there in the first place.
