The 1970's band The Ohio Players released a single in the early years of the decade called 'Love Rollercoaster'. Listen to that song when it is half-way through and, if you listen very closely, you can hear the scream of a woman being murdered.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
