10 Video Games That KNEW You'd Try To Cheat - Commenter Edition

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, aside from its scenes of stirring adventure and awkward boning, contains some comical moments where legendary monster slayer Geralt finds himself thwarted by simple bureaucracy. One such scene is the Paperchase quest, which consists entirely of the player being messed around at a bank dealing with unhelpful clerks and contradictory paperwork.

However, another moment only occurs if the player has accrued over 35,000 crowns - an uncommon occurrence considering how expensive gear and maintenance is throughout the game. Several ways to acquire this amount of money is through exploits such as slaughtering respawning cows to sell their hides and milk, or buying cheap seashells and harvesting their pearls to sell at a high markup.

Once Geralt's trousers are being pulled down by the weight of all this coin, the player will be accosted by Walthemor Mitty (no points for guessing what that's a reference to), a Deptuy Tax Enumerator in Oxenfurt.

He will question the player about their means of obtaining such a fortune, referring specifically to the wholesale selling of rawhide or pearls. If the player admits to having partaken in such activities they are then handed a summons to pay back their taxes at the Vivaldi Bank. As punishments go, that's pretty damn entertaining.
