When NPCs don't react to you breaking into their homes

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I know that this is a trope almost as old as gaming itself, but I have always found it a little infuriating when characters in a game don't react at all when you, a complete --often armed-- stranger break into their homes and start taking shit in plain sight, often complementing the looting with some gratuitous destruction of property just for the hell of it.

Do you know of any games where this DOESN'T happen? I seem to recall the NPCs on Soul Blazer being VERY not cool with that, but it's been ages.

We should probably make a list of titles where people react normally to breaking and entering lol.

PopoloCrois one NPC said is not prince like to loot a house but you can open the chest.

Jrpg staple where you can just loot someone's house and all's well.
Can't recall a game where npcs reacted, I'm sure there are but I can't think of anything.

Let's be honest now. If I walked into your house and you're busy walking a set route in your kitchen until the end of time, do you really NEED the Fleece of Everlasting Invincibility? At least I'm giving it a home where it'll get some use!

not games but funny spoofs.

I know the NPCs in Oblivion aren't too happy about you taking things from their house, they also get upset if you're breaking in or in their house at night.

No, they're very cool with it. One woman you save early on openly adopts you as her child. Keep in mind your a literal angel, so it's not like you're an unwelcome guest. There are a few PSX and PS2 rpgs I can think of that mention it in a joking way like Steam Bot Chronicles, and there's also the infamous "theft" option in Link's Awakening.

You can also steal from the vendor in Zelda Twilight Princess
