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

The bit in a certain DOS game where a demon respawns lower level demons... If you know, you know.

I do not know, but it did remind me of that God. Damn. Naga vampire-thing in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. FUCK THAT THING. I had to cheat to get past it.

On that note... games that set up systems that encourage you to choose your own skill routes, including nonviolent routes, then force you into combat-only scenarios anyway >:(

... VtmB was a great game though anyway. At least to teenage me. I've seen a bit of gameplay video since then and it just seemed hilariously edgy, which, to be fair, is still a type of great.
