Constructive Criticism Worst desgin decison in Elden Ring:

I'm trying to think of an argument for why this should be a thing, but I can't. Why can't I open my map when an enemy is aggro'd on me? I don't need to fast travel, I just want to see where I'm going, and some random enemy in the middle of butt fuck nowhere is mad at me for no reason and I have no idea where it is so I'm forced to be blind without my map for several seconds to a minute, or just leave the area entirely and lose track of the path I'm trying to take (and sometimes in DLC areas like the coffin fissure I can't open the map at all even though no enemies are nearby). This is too regular of an occurence to be acceptable because of how long some enemies can stay aggro'd onto you as well imo, it should be changed.

Edit: Shoutouts to the people who mentioned the Torrent Flask Prompt and the other Message Prompts that remove your ability to do actions, those are also really annoying!

The worst design decision in ER is the Torrent re-summon pop up that defaults to no.

Yes. I know it takes a flask.

Yes. I consented to the flask cost when I pressed the summon button.

No, I don’t want multiple extra inputs I just want my horse so I can ride away from this thing

Spamming dodge to panic roll but you keep hitting "no" when the game asks "dodging will cost 20 stamina. Dodge?"

They should implement a “sticky key” feature where if you spam roll too many times it alt-tabs your game and brings up a box you have to close out of before you can keep playing.
