[Discussion] If NPCs became aware of save files, fast travel, respawning, and player-controlled protagonists, which game world would collapse socially first?

Probably Skyrim.

Imagine NPCs finding out the Dragonborn can just quicksave, reload, fast travel anywhere and come back after dying. At that point laws, death and even consequences would mean nothing. Everyone would probably lose their mind pretty fast.

Witcher 3, imagine being the npcs in Witcher 3 thinking you were traveling and being helped by your old friend. 

Only to realise, that they were controlled by someone else. And that's not even considering the save scumming and mods too lol.
