I've always thought that about RPG's. It's pretty funny, they never seem to care. Except in Star Ocean 2 when someone catches you using the pickpocket skill on them, it's true for all games.

One day I want to make a game and go against all of these cliches. ^__^ Good luck to me. :P

I'm sure gamers'll be in for a suprise when they try to open chests in the house only to have the police show up and lock you up XD

Also in RTS games, no matter how many casualties you end up with, you can always recreate your whole army/population in less than 5 minutes (assuming you have enough food and gold, that is).

Also, though you are a very famous hero, most of the people you meet won't know you and/or think your name is different than what it really is (Paper Mario 2, many characters call Mario by a name that isn't 'Mario').

Fable as well. :) But for the most part, people don't care if you steal all of their stuff. XD

Well then it has already been done.

Harvest Moon for one of the biggest screw ups a story game can make, spelling errors.

To extend on that, said characters then get together at the end and everyone goes "Aw".

I do however know a game where you get guys to hunt you down if you try to take anything -.-. Balder's Gate. You walk into houses, some would complain, you try to take their stuff, you get "Someone has noticed you, the guards are coming" And they would try to kill you. They really pull the point of dont get caught stealing o_o.

But, as for the most part, you usually walk into other peoples houses with no problem at all.
But, just for the juice of it, heres a zelda parody on the walking uninvited into houses.
