whats that one small in a game that really really annoys you

mine would be pick pocketing in skyrim, i play a stealth kajit and despite my 100 pickpockets (with allot of perks) and good pickpocket gear the odds of success cap at 90% which means that
1. stealing afew coins is as likely to fail as stealing some ones heavy armor their wearing (what it makes them weaker in combat when i have to fight them, dont judge me)
2. i have very bad luck in this and seem fail at least once per person meaning i have to do the whole quick save quick load game which breaks the chance system anyway provided your patient enough

the worst thing is it has a really simple fix just take the cap off the pick pocketing and put in a delay so you have to wait a set time after loading before you can pick pocket (like fallout new Vegas gambling)

My nitpick of choice is in Mass Effect 2.

In combat cutscenes, all the characters use assault rifles, even the ones who don't actually carry assault rifles.

I know it was done so the characters could be interchangeable depending on who you had with you, but damn if I don't still notice it every time.

My nitpick is with the Zelda series, and that's with the implementation of ruppees. I almost always have a full wallet and after first few major purchases I never need to buy anything again, since a lot of the stuff they sell can be found by cutting the damn grass, and potions are usually a waste of space when I could have a fairy instead.

They've worked to fix this problem in a few games(tingle and auctions in wind waker and upgrades in skyward sword), but even in those I always have a perpetually full wallet, and unlike other games where I get a shitload of money, I have nothing to spend it on.

My Nitpick would be the opening screen in Uncharted 3. I know it's something so incredibly small that it shouldn't bother me but it does, simply because it just doesn't feel like it belongs in an Uncharted game. It just lacks all the charm and the artistry of the other opening screens in the last two games.

Pistols probably would have been better, considering its the one thing shepard seems to whip out at those times

...I mean Miranda with an N7 assult rifle is still very jarring

the "zoom in" effect in fallout/NV makes it harder for moments to be action packed/dramatic, they should ahve just taken the skyrim aproach...
....actually there should be a mod for that..hmm

Ezios outfit in Brotherhood, mbaye in AC2 I could sort of belive it but for the life of me I CANNOT imagine him walking around in full white like hat and not attract attention...it was better when I dyed it res or black/brown so then I looked like the gaurds

Esbern's voice in Skyrim. Couldn't that guy have swallowed before he talked. That mouth-full-of-spit voice turned my stomach every time.

But then we'd get Grunt (*swoon*) using a pistol he doesn't carry during a full-fledged firefight.

Unacceptable!

a PURE KROGAN does not need big guns to wreak havoc!!

Miranda looks liek she'd get knocked over tring to fire that assult rifle

Fable II and III.

I kinda hate Reaver.

I hate the little prick. The worst part is that it makes being "evil" very difficult in Fable III because a great deal of your evil moral choices require you to side with the foppish little shit heel.

Mass Effect 2

No helmet removal during cut scenes, meaning I play the game without helmets (even though I've bought everyone of them throughout the galaxy!)

This, also meant i couldnt use the funky pre-order or dragon age armours :(

exactly, and after thy went to all the trouble of writing that funny description for it:

The chest and shoulder piece bears the logo of the Edmonton Blood Dragons, and the inside of the armor bears the signatures of the entire team. When and how the Illusive Man got his hands on this armor is unknown, but several of the signatures bear messages such as "[expletive] the geth!" and "Shepard, get well soon!!!"

Mine is with KoA:R and its Chest system. Now its all random and I love it except when I am getting low level epics. I am in Kalintar (That's not the correct spelling) and I have already gotten some epics that would of been useful when i was level 20. Not much use considering im lv 27 now.

That Skyrim isn't very alive and that it's quite predictable. It's not that big a deal but I have been spoiler with games like Mount and blade: Warband or the Stalker series.

I love him because he is one of the few characters in a game that gets a reaction from me. I have never cared about any character in any way except for wanting to punch Reaver's smug face. In fable 3 though half his choices weren't even evil. They were logical.

My nitpick is at the moment is the Skyrim merchants barely having enough gold to feed themselves let alone but stuff from me. Its almost bad enough for me to want to get the PC version to mod it out.

The kicker is that it's flippin' Max von Sydow. Not his finest moment, really... I'd like to think he was stricken with jetlag at the occasion.

TF2.

Whenever I play a medic or an engineer or some other spy-sensitive class, it's as if everyone around me suddenly seems to forget about the very existance of spies. Spychecking isn't hard, even less when all you're doing is running down a corridor to join the fray.

Even more fun when I'm lagging and have trouble spychecking myself. I'll fire a shotgun-shot or two at someone approaching, nothing happens. Alright. He refills from my dispenser. Goodie. Then, suddenly, everything is sapped, he's picking me apart with his revolver and all my colleagues are wondering where their teleporter and dispenser went.

If someone is the -slightest- bit suspicious, check. It only costs you a bullet.

Whenever I headshot someone and they are left with like 1% of their health, the visor I'll never wear taunts me. Thankfully ME3 corrects this.

thank you. i just completed a playthrough and i keep thinking where the heck have you been hiding that and why havent you used it before

League of Legends....

Pantheon can own any other mid champ....

Not so much a nitpick as a psychotic hatred of something, but I detest mute main characters that don't even have text dialogue.

on skyrim console you can get unlimited gold out of vendors by....
1. sell your stuff to them until they run out of gold
2. save
3.attack them
4.load
5. this resets their inventory so they get more gold
6. rinse and repeat until your super rich
it takes some time but its quicker than waiting round or running to the next town over to sell all your loot
