    Stat/EXP loss on death.

    Unskippable cut scenes, especially before a boss. I want to play on hard difficulty, which means I WILL die to bosses. Do not force me to watch that shit 5+ times or I’m out like trout.

    Limited inventory space in an otherwise unrealistic RPG.

    You’re telling me I can carry six two-handed weapons and 500lbs of gold, but seven is just too much?! Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

    Specifically, this especially sucks when the inventory is a grid, like in the Diablo series, or Grim Dawn, or WoW, FFXIV or… many other MMOs.

    especially when you can spend real money to alleviate the artificial limitation they fucking designed in to the game.

    It’s so unnecessary and these days absolutely makes me instantly not care to continue playing. FUCK artificial limitations that don’t have clear, valid reasons.

    I’m here to play a game, not Inventory Management Simulator 33.45

    The worst game mechanic is artificial difficulty where enemies aren’t challenging. Instead, they are just damage sponges.

    Games with inventories where they treat a single gem or a flower petal as occupying the same space in your rucksack as a pair of boots.

    Guys, we go back to Ultima 7 with the key ring, the problem was solved along fucking time ago. Stop being lazy and have gem sacks, crafting bags, keyrings, etc for small items.

    2 sets of teeth, the first only lasting 1/9 of your life and the second being 8/9. 2/9, 7/9 would be much better or just 2/9, 4/9, 6/9.

    Oh, hair falling out and all your joints hurting for 5/9 of your life kinda blows as well.

    Relationship mechanics. If I give someone a pumpkin twice a week, they’re just going to be confused and pissed.

    I don’t really know the name of the game mechanics, but when I was a kid I bought, with my saves, Halo Wars for Xbox 360, the worst investment I have done after ChainLink cryto purchase, well as a newbie I listened to my friend how Halo was the best game they have ever played!!!, as the you all may guess, the were talking about Halo 4.

    Since then I am GOW fan. Halo wars had a poor mechanics for me 12 years ago, maybe today could be a game I would like.

    Escort missions

    The only good escort missions are the ones where you aren’t limited at all by the NPC you need to escort, which no longer makes it an escort mission.
