If you used the alchemy/enchanting feedback loop, you could do this:

I loved how easy it was to completely break Skyrim, it was the only thing which kept me coming back to the game - seeing just how completely I could break it over my knee. You could make insanely ridiculous stuff like potions which could paralyse someone for a real time month and weapons which could one-shot anything.
Wasn't that feedback loop the only really broken thing in skyrim? I can't think of anything else remotely as abusable, off the top of my head.

I miss Star Wars Galaxies. You could literally play the game as a tailor or armor smith exclusively. I had friends who made billions of in game money just selling med-packs because that's somethings everyone needs. It also had a pretty robust housing system and our guild leader literally just spend his time being our towns mayor and actually went through the effort to have urban planning instead of just plopping buildings down randomly.

And then they hosed the game trying to make it more like Warcraft.

I remember my stint as an obese cantina dancer.

In SWG you had 3 "Health Pools", HP, Stamina, Mind.

The first two were easy to heal, however Mind was a bit more tricky. With Mind, any damage amount would cause that amount of Mind to be blacked out and unable to be used. This could be used to permanently disable player characters, since there was no Health Packs or Stims for Mind.

To heal your Mind you needed to either watch a Dancer, or listen to a Band.

One of the requisites for hunting the harder creatures in the game was getting buffs from doctors, so in larger cities, people would actually line up waiting to be buffed by the docs.

What I did was create an obese man, complete with huge belly overlapping his pelvic area, stripped him nearly naked, equipped the slave Leia dancer outfit, and just danced right by the line up. Of course this was also on an RP server so it really broke some people's immersion having a fat man sexy dancing for them and their characters enjoying it.

It was a really weird story. They made a MMO with a really novel and creative gameplay model that wasn't met anywhere else in the market, while simultaneously making said gameplay as little like Star Wars as possible. It was the "What if Luke had stayed home and been a moisture farmer?" MMO, but it obviously found its audience. Alienating them by trying to turn it into an honest Star Wars game later was a doomed concept just because everyone who wanted that had left ages ago and wouldn't have come back even if it had been done really well.

Every doctor office I've been in that has need for urine samples also has a little doored portal in the bathroom where a patient can place their sealed fresh urine sample when they're done with it. The other side presumably opens into the testing lab, where a tech can pick up the sample and test it without any awkward patient interaction. Apparently this place has a busted portal.

Assuming for a moment that it is all real: The son claims his father has schizophrenia. In men the average age of onset is 16-25, which leaves plenty of time to knock a lady up before boarding the train to crazytown. It doesn't seem like schizophrenia could be all that is wrong with him though, he does seem a little simple. There is no way to know if he was always slow, or it was a side effect of his treatment or maybe even an unrelated head injury or something.
