15 Enjoyably Dumb Things Gamers Do We Can't Explain

2. Stealing Absolutely Everything In Sight

What is it about loot that turns all gamers into giant kleptomaniacs?

No matter what genre or style of game it is, if a title gives you the opportunity to steal -€“ consequence-free or not €“- it'€™s guaranteed that you'€™ll end up lining your pockets with literally every single thing you can get your hands on.

It€™'s even worse in RPGs where you often pick up junk you can€™'t even use. Raiding your first dungeon or tutorial area, you'€™ll pick up half a broom handle in the same sweep as a silver sword, and you probably won€™t get around to throwing it away until hours later; not until your inventory's so full of random spoons that you can't move, anyway.
