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

      I enjoy crafting if its a core game component, like in a survival game. But having to craft in order to upgrade your gear in Assassin’s Creed was just tedious.

      This - either I avoid it completely, or I just craft whatever I can with the ingredients I have just randomly collected.

      I always find it hilarious when I want to upgrade a bow or something and the game expects me to use like hundreds of wooden logs, metal ingots and other random shit. It just makes no sense at all. This was even worse in AC Valhalla where you run around in 9th century England and craft gear out of tungsten and titanium for some reason.
