>>3794424Just any sort of unlock system is annoying, but the one that'd drive me absolutely insane is some sort of asinine meta-unlock system, where you don't even unlock stuff in-game (like say, Dragon Age Origins with its specializations) but just earn points in some stupid way (probably achievements) and spend them on unlocking options in the game. For extra points, make it an unlock tree that mixes gameplay options and aesthetic ones with equal priority and no choice but to take shit you don't care about.
It might seem like I'm mad about something specific. That's because I am. Triumph and Paradox completely fucked my possible enjoyment of Age of Wonders 4 with their retarded My Pantheon system, then rubbed salt into the wound by going out of their way to "fix" any easy way of getting points for it and fuck with any mods that unlocked it.
