Current playthrough of Wizardry 8:
I found a good place to rest right before Arnika Road. Just clip through the left edge of the doorway leading out of the monastery, and rest while out of bounds.
Speaking of which, I have experimented with casting Return to Portal while OOB there, and then walking off the area and getting crushed; one time I actually triggered a bug that makes the in-game graphics much whiter than usual until I exited the game completely.
In Daggerfall, I would start fighting the guards with the Mace of Molag Bal, kill enemies to get my strength up, and then get killed because the mace's strength bonus increases the damage enemies do to you.
Also, in Daggerfall, I would buy a ship, go to it, enter the hull, bash the door from the inside, and suddenly have to deal with guards. When attacked, my reputation in the Coast of High Rock region would drop, and choosing to come with the guards would reduce my HP to 1 but would not put me in court, as this region (which contains the explorable part of the world's ocean) does not have any towns, let alone courthouses in them.
Edit: Another one. In Phantasy Star 3, I was able to beat the final boss at a reasonable level without using any TP or consumables.
