In Divinity Original Sin, have one character talk to someone as you rob their entire place.
Then, sell them their own supplies. It's fun when games let you do that.
I don't remember exactly but I think there was one game where someone knew if you were selling them their own inventory.

I try to kill children in any game where this seems possible as an experiment. Not that I have anything against kids, but it sort've annoys me when they are invincible. I do not discuss this with others.

What games can you even kill kids in? Asking for a friend.

Pilfering food and cobblestone from my neighbors in Minecraft when I can't be bothered to farm or gather stacks of cobble myself.

Drakengard, I'm pretty sure, has a level with 200+ child soldiers in it. Goes as well as you'd expect.
Then again, it's a game where your other three party members are a child abuser guy, a mad cannibal woman who eats children, and of course, a child.

The more I learn about the game, the more conflicted I am about trying it.
In huge mp games like battlefield and battlefront. I sometimes get distracted and look around at the scenery. Not just look and move on, I'll walk as far as I can and just observe my surroundings, maybe get a better view of the battlefield.. Occasionally I'll shoot or throw a grenade to look like I'm playing and nobody gets suspicious while I stroll around.
I was a serial killer in Fable 2. Lured people out of the towns and killed them in the forest. Think they still pointed at you even if you're not seen.
Not even sure why I did that.

Throw ammo crates and health packs and you'll hit two birds with one stone while doing that.

I'm not really Ridley from the Metroid series.
In Fallout 1 and 2 , but you get the Child Killer title and a huge negative penalty to your reputation with NPCs..
Also the original Deus Ex.

Drakengard is a game that is actively trying to make you feel bad for playing it. It is kind of amazing in a "post modern" way, but it definitely isn't for everyone.
OT, for me it is all about abusing that rewind function in Kirby's Dream Course on the SNES Classic. I have vowed only to use it when I fall off a cliff, because losing a whole life to that mistake is BS, but I am tempted to rewind every time I make a bad shot. The game will never know...
In Chivalry: Medieval Warfare there's a map where one team spawns in a barn with an open window, and there's a large bush outside. I used to hide in there as an archer with the sling weapon which has a very subtle projectile. Every time the enemy team respawned, I'd throw a pebble at one of them from behind and then hide back in the bush. Very often they would interpret that as their teammates harrassing them and would start teamkilling eachother.
I thought everyone knew about this, it's one of the most common trick to steal easily.
I once made a custom Civ 5 map where my Capital city had almost all of the different resources within its eventual borders. And enough goody huts to get me entirely through the Ancient Era by the time Turn #2 was over. And two gunpowder units with an asinine number of upgrades. And the city was surrounded by rivers, wonders, and hilly defensive terrain.
I put the other 15 civs all around me. Gave them standard resources. And I maxed-out the difficulty, so that they were all super-aggressive with me and with each other.
It was a fun, FUN evening.

Back when World of Warcraft was released and before the common use of mods to earn a descent profit of the auction house there was this random guy I never met on my server that spent all his time farming light & medium leather in Stonetalon Mountains and selling them for just above the price you got selling it to a vendor. When ever I was online a did a /who Stonetalon to check if he was there and then I went over to the auction house and just sat there for a bit until he put the leather up for sale and I bought it all and sold it for a +300% profit and that is how I managed to get my first few hundred gold.
So my thanks, random guy!

In the original European versions children were removed from the games. However, they forgot to patch out the ambient dialogue, so it had this ghostly effect of text popping up but with no visible NPCs nearby.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
How were you selling something for 300% more if people could just buy it from a vendor for cheaper?

He sold it for a few more Silver than you would get selling it to a vendor. You couldn't buy it off a vendor.
Edit: I edited my post for clarity.
Cheesing the weapon upgrade achievements in Demon's Souls / Dark Souls by turning off the console/ using alt-F4 before exiting the vendor interface. It won't save your game and you can keep all of your resources.
Vendor price = what an NPC merchant pays you. There's no way to buy leather (or most other crafting components) from NPCs in World of Warcraft.

saving just before playing in the casino, in almost every RPG
A few years ago I played a season of Madden on the second to lowest difficulty level.
My Arizona Cardinals went 16-0, won the Super Bowl handily, and Calais Campbell, riding a 70 sack season, won the MVP award, edging out Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald.
Calais deserved it, and the voters know. After all, the all-time record for sacks in a season is 22.5.

The Witcher 1 on a gameplay level was one of the most games I have ever played. QTE the game and bullshit level spikes was it's worst offender. But I liked the story and setting. I wanted to finish it so I modded the game and gave myself infinite health.
Dark Souls.
I had a deadline to finish the game before my son was born. I took full advantage of the Crystal Ring Shield to get me through the game, knowing full well if felt broken (from memory if had the ability to fire a large laser like projectile, I was steamrolling through the later stages of the game). Not long before he was born, they patched the shield so it was no longer OP. However, I refused to update. Beat the game then updated later.

Does that actually work for stealing?
lol, crafting and selling in a MMO was my first business lesson.
Final Fantasy XIV has timed events every now and then that reward you with some corresponding cosmetics. Usually there is a requirement to craft a specific item, which is something some players may have not touched or their crafting levels aren't high enough to create the needed item.
Some try to take advantage of the demand and start selling at a ridiculous price, and they sell because people need the item. Eventually the price stabilizes because you'll get other crafters trying to undercut the opposition by just enough of a discount until you get it to a fairly reasonable price where the people looking to make big money aren't interested in spending the time for that little profit and the people who want as many people to complete the event as possible are churning out the item for a reasonable price.
I was a naive fool the first time I was in an event and had my crafting at good levels. I saw the ridiculous prices in the market and wanted to do something about it. I made a tonne of the event specific items and flodded the market with them for 1 gil. What didn't cross my mind is that the people who were selling them for hundreds of gil could easily buy what I was selling, and that's what happened. A handful of people bought the item for 1 gil but the vast majority was picked up by other sellers and then they put it back up for at ridiculous prices. Not to be discouraged, I realized where I messed up, crafted twice as many items, and put them up for a price where it really wasn't worth anyone else time to buy and resell. They responded by lowering prices, I did the same, eventually we got it down. I unsubscribed from the game because crafting sucks so much.
If I get stuck near the end of a game I tend to just "finish" it by watching a Let's Play on YouTube.

When I was 15 I rented out DoA beach volleyball for purely sexual reasons. But then again I think that's the only reason that game exists..
World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King
My guild was doing 25-man Naxxramas shortly after the release of the expansion. There was this train item which someone could place on the ground. Everyone nearby would hear it going "choo choo" if I remember correctly.
I placed it once. People complained. I later placed it again. People complained again. My friend also placed his. People got mad. Eventually the guild leader said next time someone placed the train, they'd be removed from the guild. He downloaded an add on which would say who placed the train.
I placed the train again. He whispered me that if I did it again, I'd be removed. He said it didn't matter we were friends or that I was good. His message came across clearly. I didn't place the train again during a raid or otherwise.
