The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let’s also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

    I honestly do not like the RPG mechanic of levelling up/buying skills, especially in FPS games. I’d rather have a Half Life experience over levelling.

    I’m also not a fan of side quests. I find it breaks the immersion when you’re character is on some crazy, world saving overall quest but sure, I can spend time to find that random thing for you.

      I think some level of choice in the power progression in fps games is good, but it gets annoying when it’s tied to a skill tree.
