There's a small thing that annoys me in many RPGs.

Junk loot.

Too many types of potions, food, alcohol, drugs, gems, herbs, mushrooms, whatever and tons of fucking clutter like cutlery, plates, mugs, broken pieces of items, scrap metal etc. I hate having a mess in my inventory and having there items that I cannot find any good use for. Sometimes I resist to sell them because "maybe they will come in use eventually" but sell them anyway after finding even more of them. But then comes a fucking quest that requires me to obtain an item I recently sold... Not cool.

Maybe stop playing Bethes'tard games and their derivatives?

Pillars of Eternity and the Witcher are also guilty of that.

So stop playing those as well. It's not rocket science. Also, first Witcher itemization is quite good. You're talking about Witcher 3, which IS a Bethes'tard derivative.

Yeah, the first Witcher wasn't bad and DnD based games are also not bad when it comes to loot.

Because of loot bloat I hate any crafting and alchemy.

What do you think of Storm of Zehir and Temple of Elemental Evil crafting?

Also, I think Witcher's alchemy/oil system is great. But we need to play on highest difficulty so that we can't bluff our way through it (and not learn it properly).
