Deus Ex: Immediately train pistols to Master level and stack a few mods on the stealth pistol. Viola! You've just created a gun with perfect aim, a scope, plentiful ammo, good rate of fire, and kills everything in 1 headshot (2 headshots for the big guys in suits, but you can fire two shots quickly).

Street Fighter 2, original arcade release: Pick Guile, camp in the corner charging your flash kick. If anyone approaches you can flash kick up then I think the followup is crouching kick, strong punch, throw, but I don't remember exactly. Sonic boom if they try to turtle too. The later editions patched this out.

FFVII: There's a mid-game weapon for Vincent called SniperCR. The damage is only so-so but its gimmick is that it has 255% accuracy. Reach into your inventory and pull out that Deathblow materia (double damage, half accuracy) that has been useless until now. The next several hours are easy.

Morrowind: First thing you do is grab a decent mortal and pestle and start practicing alchemy. Alchemy lets you make potions to buff your stats, including those stats that govern alchemy. Ride the positive feedback loop for just a few minutes and you'll have stats that exceed the naturally achievable limits by a couple orders of magnitude. In theory these potions will wear off sometime, but by the time you've boosted your stats that high they'll last for hours at a time.
