What? :D

Okay SvennoJ, you are that kind of player who likes a full immersion and to some degree likes to put limitations on yourself to make it a better experience. All right, good for you. But I think there is not much for you to complain about when it is not the game that limits your enjoyment, it is your own restrictions.

I always hate it in Starcraft when the game doesn't allow me to win with Zerglings only. I just love Zerglings the most and they are my favorite, plus they're cheap. Terrible game design if you ask me. I also hate all the random items in Mario Kart. Super dumb game design imo. Would be much better with items turned off entirely like in a real racing game.

That's me all right. The random items are why i don't play Mario Kart and in Wipeout I never used weapons either, just the speed up boost, dropped all the rest straight away again. I even quit GT7 online racing because too many people rather play bumper cars instead of race by actual racing rules.

A game relying on fast travel is not OK though. It should be optional, not part of the game play loop if you ask me. That's just bad game design. Death stranding offline without using fast travel was an amazing experience. Then played it again online which was also fun, just a lot messier with all the random stuff from other people appearing. Much faster though not having to build all the roads yourself, but also didn't feel like much of an accomplishment.

Anyway, I'll see how far I get in TotK without fast travel, just want to get off this damn sky island first. Not my favorite place to explore, plus the whole map is already known. I need my fog of war :) Filling in the map by actually going there is so satisfying! It drove me to explore every little nook and cranny in Forbidden West, including outside the boundaries. Sky Island is just confusing with overlapping islands, needs a 3D map!

1, Not only but yes, using knives and alternatives to conserve ammo when possible. I found the bow in BotW rather finicky to use, wasn't my favorite. But I did use it often. Mostly wished I could use those bow slots for weapons though :p My bows hardly ever broke as I didn't use them much. Just a waste of inventory space! Same with the shields. Never understood the use of them. They break too fast when using them for their intended purpose, ie blocking. So I just learned to dodge better instead of swapping shields as well. Then when you get better shields at the end I was long past using them. More inventory space wasted!

If you perfectly block the shield doesn't take any damage. Theoretically you can use a shield throughout the entire game without it ever breaking.

Btw, you can place 300 markers in the game. You definitely didn't use all of them for shrines.

How do you perfectly block? Is that the same as dodging then?

And yep you're correct, there are all the other markers you can place. I do remember using them to mark fairy fountains and Lynel spawn spots.
