#QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

@ami_angelwings
I don't play games like this but I've seen game replays and the act of going through a space and looting everything that isn't nailed down and everyone ignoring you just gets on my nerves.
Watching Jingles play Horizon Forbidden West and Aloy vacuums up everything. I can just imagine people in the villages talking:
A: Hey someone has lifted all my tools and supplies.
B: Oh yeah, I saw Aloy come by here earlier. Pity she's such a klepto even if she is the saviour.
A: Well fuck!
B: Take a list of what she stole to the council, they'll reimburse you.
@Steveg58 @ami_angelwings BG3 has some things that you can take without issue, but other things are marked as 'well you could take it, but you would have problems'
