Have any of you heard Yahtzee's view on giving regular people sandbox games?
Given degrees of freedom, and an open world, most people's first instinct is to be a pocky to somebody in the game-world. In Skyrim/Oblivion/Fallout 3/Morrowind, that equals killing them, taking all their things, or both at the same time. (Or lethal amounts of generosity, with putting live grenades in people's pockets)

Bethedsa get props for letting us do that. But they lose a lot if they don't tell us that what wee've done has literally fudgeed the entire main quest, or the quests related to that character.
Morrowind did it best, with a very blunt "You broke the world. Reload your game to fix your spoon" message.
