What game mechanics do you love and hate?
I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.

I feel save points themselves are becoming an increasingly archaic design choice. Just let us save anywhere, especially in a single player game. I think most people are just suspending games without expressly saving most of the time.
It's going to depend on the game. If you're making a game like Resident Evil, half of that game's brilliance is in where it puts its save points.
Totally fair. Particularly in survival horror where saves are explicitly limited to highten tension, that makes sense.
