This is a real and pressing issue
And I've been a victim of this sort of thing a few more times than I care to admit XP
Of course not as bad as "Something bad will happen if I don't" or anything like that, but there's been a few times where I've just had the urge to do something weird in a game "Just cuz I can".
The inner monologue was pretty hysterical as well. "You know you don't have to do this to move on in the game right?" "I just HAVE to do this OK?"
