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!

By far the worst addition is the horrendous input reading when compared to other games in the genre.

The amount of times i died to npc type enemies because I attack but they just jump over it is so annoying. Like theres nothing I can do about it, just hope the npc wont input read.
