My husband and I had a conversation about this once. Why do we always end up rich with multiple houses in video games, when we're broke AF in real life? Why can't we transfer some of that into the real world. Then we realized the answer. Crime. We play criminals in video games. Skyrim? I'll have 300,000 gold and 6 houses by level 40. I'll also have robbed every single house, every NPC, and shop in every hold. Damned morals keeping me from doing that in the real world.
You also don't pay for anything besides equipment. We'd all be rich pretty quickly in this scenario
