Many years ago I started to play Baldur's Gate. The game has really nice party system, graphics at that time (1999) but always something happened and I was unable to finish the game... Anyway at some point i found a dark elf character some of you know.
At that point of game he was apparently overwhelmed by a group of monsters, and I, unaware of his battle skills, was expecting his demise, with a chance to get some loot. But of course he viciously slaughtered all monsters and after short chat left...

Many years have passed. I was into small free project based on Ultima Online. Very small roleplay server with about 15-20 people online, playing a mage who attempts to use evil to cast out evil.
After a long pause I lost my skill, macros and all such stuff, so I went to closest dungeon entrance, inhabitated by group of NPC bandits. I was in need of bones for reagents so I carved some of the bodies for the bones. In about 30 minutes I had my gaming skills, shortcuts restored and I was about to leave the site.
Then a group of new players arrived, possibly to test their skill against mobs which are reasonably strong even for a high-leveled players, seeing just me in the middle of bandit camp, 30 corpses all around, some of them mutilated...
"What happened here?", they asked. I was bit surprised because i did not expected company. And I was lucky that no undead was summoned at that time... (I call them Max, Igor and Andreas. Who knows what the names refer to?) I said something like "local authorities sent me there to clear the bandit camp" and hastily left the site with a strange feeling which reminded me Baldurs Gate...
