9 Video Game Rewards You Shouldn't Accept

4. "Assuming The Position" - Fallout New Vegas

Not really insulting or taxing on the player, but your scribe is only human, and this entry is just too funny not to include.

The quest Wang Dang Atomic Tango sees the courier procuring new talent for the Atomic Wrangler's sex workers. Alongside the other weird denizens of the city the Courier convinces, they are sent to also get ahold of a protectron at Cerulean Cybernetics known as The Fully Integrated Security Technetronic Officer.

They are more succinctly known as Fisto.

Every Fallout fan knows what happens next.

Your reward for this quest besides a bit of XP? Being told by Fisto to "assume the position". Game fades to black for a minute, then fades back in some indeterminate amount of time later.

The Courier, evidently, was the first to sample Fisto's services. This hilarious punchline doesn't really hurt the player in any way, but some players would've likely wanted to opt out of partaking in the latest volume of Robots Gone Wild.
