This apple is shit it tastes nothing like a banana.

Loot is there for character progression and reward. When you start a game you're meant to get constant upgrades as it wants to get you hooked and people like being given things. Then when you're more invested in the game the rewards can be more spaced out.

I think a lot of games are a bit too custom happy these days & a bit too open ended and it puts me off playing them.

At a certain point of loot overflow, I usually end up asking myself if I'm ignoring the RP part of the RPG and simply trying to hoard all the things. I have yet to come across a situation where I didn't enjoy the game a lot more when I decided to put some RP into the gaming.

I can't tell you how many times I've booted a game and had this happen:
Me: So, what do I do?
Game: It's a deeply customizable open world
Me: Cool, but what do I do?
Game: You can do anything you want.
Me: I want to win
Game: Does not compute
