In Morrowind plot essential characters could be killed. The game would tell you it was impossible to continue and suggested reloading but you could keep going if you wanted.Bambi On Toast said:

Haha, it's a creepy omniscient hivemind. Hell I couldn't even sleep with my wife in Fable without the town coming to spectate.Blore said:
It's always fun in Fallout: New Vegas when you're sitting on the outskirts of Cottonwood Cove picking off the Legion with a silenced sniper rifle and nobody notices why the guy they were just talking to suddenly exploded into gibs.
Oblivion, I'm the champion and hero of the entire land, but the Arena Guy still treats me like crap when I join up.
Including the NPCs in the guild unfortunately. I remember feeling really let down when (as head of the mages guild) I had to steal a staff or somesuch from a member of the mages guild. When I went to order him to hand it over (as his guildmaster) he attacked me. I know they have a lot of strands to pull together when making such a deep game but it felt really lazy at the time.Odinsson said:

You nearly ninja'd me, but I one-upped you.Aircross said:
I walked in with 100 sneak, found different points where nobody can see me an took everything I could from the shelves(read: everything).
"Derp, I should stand here and guard this rare Plasma Caster"
"Oh look, a birdie!" *looks away while I steal everything*
"Wait, wasn't there a Plasma Caster here that I was supposed to defend, and who's this guy and what is he doing crouching near our supplies? Meh, whatever, I guess I was wrong about there being a Plasma Caster here."
Similarly, when I wanted to steal a Gauss Rifle from the BoS I couldn't kill someone and take it as they would instantly aggro regardless of stealth. So I used a sniper rifle to shoot it out of one of the guards' hands. The GR breaks instantly and is sent flying. The guard aggros for a second, goes to grab his rifle, but then sees that it is broken and returns to his position, no longer angry, leaving the broken GR on the floor.
Every game ever: Jump all over the place, run around in circles when people are giving me instructions, and abuse animations in general.
The Elder Scrolls games are notorious for this kind of thing because they aren't programmed with any player behaviors in mind (More interested in what they are able to do, instead of being interested in what they are doing), but other games are just as bad. Stairs? Just jump down a story or two. I'll be fine.

I killed that scientist and android from the commonwealth in front of a group of scientists, and the only reaction I got was "Glad that wasn't me". Also, they don't seem to clean up the messes I make.
I'm on my second play through. Just for sh*ts and giggles I have decided to kill or knock out EVERY person I can, that includes quest NPCs like mrs Reed. No one seems to really have a problem with dead bodies laying around or hanging off anything I can throw them on. It is quite fun (and challenging) as I have restricted myself to using nothing but takedowns and the tranq/crossbow for snipers that are out of reach.Cleril said:
I would urge you to try it.
To my disappointment you can not get bodies to hang from trees or the sarif statue.
I do approve of the MASSIVE lethality of throwing bodies as weapons.
Wow! An Elder Scrolls naked orgy!jamesbrown said:
Sorry, I normally don't nitpick spelling, but I couldn't resist calling you out on that one.
The Mages Guild master really pissed me off one day, all I did was murder someone and he made me find some stupid flowers, anyway that night I snuck into his bedroom and filled it with Alchemy equipment. I waited all night to watch him wake up, and all he did was get out of bed and walk out of the room, I was so disapointed. This is something that is tricky to programme though, NPC's reactiong to every situation, but unfortunatly, they don't seem to react to anything unless you steal something or hurt someone. But I do find it funny sneaking into someone house, stealing everything in there, then watching them wake up and not notice anything missing.
