What game mechanics do you love and hate? (beehaw.org)

I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.

I love fast travel, warp gates, teleporting and anything that makes it easier and faster for me to get from Point A to Point B.

"Scenery is pretty." Don't care.

"Look at the extra content." I'll look if I want to. Don't force it.

While I enjoy casual and relaxed games, taking forever to walk to where I want to go is neither casual nor relaxed. I wanna be where I wanna be in game and don't pad on the gameplay hours with slow transport options.

In a similar vein, any game that forces your camera slightly upwards while you're going somewhere drives me up a wall. Like, I'm sure the devs want to show off the pretty world they made, but I want to avoid tripping over the rock right in front of me!
