What's your pet peeve in your favorite video game?
Mine is the lag in Stellaris, and lack of options to let me impact it. Like let me disable the ability for the AI to make habitats FFS!

Favourite game is Mass Effect 1, but I don't think I have a pet peeve because a lot of them have been said before (love the Mako though, it's just that the planets BioWare built are all fucking hills!)
But I think my pet peeve for Mass Effects 2 are 2 things.
- The fact that there aren't scars in 2. Unless you use mods, but I like having my Shep's look battle-worn.
- That BioWare made Shepard work with Cerberus. Like I get it in the idea of "the Alliance isn't saving people, but Cerberus did". But it feels so wrong especially if you played Mass Effects 1 where you can see the experiments Cerberus did on civilians. That and if you have the Sole Survivor background, it's a real slap in the face.
I know that they did 2 for storyline purposes, but the fact that you can't push back or anything makes 0 sense. And they also did it for people who never played 1. I just, ugh. It angers me. I love that 2 gave me my Garrus romance, but man, I just... yeah.
My pet peeve with mass effect 2 is that the entire game is basically 1. Find companion and 2. Do companion quest. There is almost nothing of any substance at all in the game. I never understood the hype behind ME2. ME1 is by far the best game in that series, just like with dragon age.
Yeah I've never understood how people can see it as the best game of the series. It just always felt like I was building up to what 3 was going to be.
To be fair, I think the upgraded mechanics and the character storylines are neat as (and the fact that I can romance Garrus 😍😍😍), but yeah I've never really understood why it was seen as the best in the series.
Could be that that's the first game a lot of people played? ME1 was my first game and it'll always have a special place in my heart. I think people just muddy it up because of the Mako.
