9 Most Disgusting Things Video Games Forced You To Do

7. Trust Someone You Just Met, And Throw A Baby In An Oven? - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The wonderful world of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series is one of the most bleak, grungy and downright atonal you'll ever come across. It's like the destitute grime of Game of Thrones given the magical properties of Skyrim, and wrung through a couple of prime Eastern horror rollers.

Or to put it another way, it's absolutely fantastic, and knows how you drag you ever deeper into the bowels of its own subconscious, knowing precisely how you'll react when events like the above unfold. Enter the Possession quest, one that's set up around a demonic spectre called a Hym, who feasts on the minds of those who feel immense guilt.

Now, you can't just pretend you feel guilty about something, it has to be real, and so for Geralt to lure the thing out with the aid of the helpfully psychotic Cerys and her nondescript 'plan', he ends up being tossed the infant child of ruler Udalyrk, before being asked to lob it in a nearby furnace. You'd feel mighty guilty after that, wouldn't you? The game lets you decide what you think is best within a small time window, but when alls said and done it is revealed that the child would've survived anyway, thanks to another door in the oven. Oh Cerys, you little tinker.

What's she like at Christmas parties, eh?
