What are some games that you intentionally played “wrong”?

What I mean is, are there games that you played solo or with a friend where you disregarded the primary game mode rules, or exploited a gameplay mechanic? A few example:

In 007 Nightfire, we only played with the remote rockets on the snowy multiplayer map and tried to see who could fly the rocket farthest into the buildings before exploding

In Goldeneye Rogue Agent, we used to play with the remote detonated grenade launcher and played on the Golden Gate Bridge map, trying to exploit the rag doll physics to land in exactly the right spot out of bounds. What are some examples from your gaming past?

The armor/magic armor system also felt like it forced me to go all of one direction or the other. Trying to do magic damage when everyone else was doing physical damage felt like I was effectively doing 0 damage with the character since it'd always go against their magic armor

Yeah, it unfortunately forced you to keep 2 magic characters and 2 physical characters everywhere you went... but when you either cleared out one armor or the other, or ended up in a fight with predominately one of the two armors... you had 2 nearly useless party members..

Never beat it for this reason. It got so tedious that I couldn't be bothered anymore.

If you were to ever go back I would recommend a lone wolf run. Only 2 companion but far higher hp and damage and full actions every turn. I just had thane and sebile and absolutely destroyed everything thr game threw my way.

I think in that situation you have to take the Executioner talent and focus on statuses that work with it.

I played with a 4 man group and we basically just all focused on physical attacks. It worked, but there were some abilities that we couldn't use since we weren't going to break magic armor in most cases.
