Those are some more things that bug me to lol!  I am going to add
crafting to my list to :-)

Crafting, ugh.  Yeah that goes on my list too.  I'm not quite as against
it as I mostly don't mind what little of it is in the souls games, and
there's at leas some other game it was kind of fun in. The bad part is
more about the farming part of crafting, which in general isn't too bad
in souls.  I remember absolutely hating it in some other games.

Ugh, crafting. I don't like grinding! I do that enough IRL!

What do you ants do with all the leaves and sticks and dead bodies I
see you hauling around all over the place?  Make a bed or something?
Do you can them for winter?

Troll! You guys buy games but never show any evidence of playing them.
But at least we know how they affect your 'palate.'

 
Oh I play various games, but that is modulo my chronic pain.  Some days
my back hurts to much to sit at the computer and play or go out and I
end up watching a movie or series on the dvd player.
 
Currently doing dailies in Star Trek Online and sporadically playing
Tina Tina's Wonderlands and Torchlight 3.
 
Still not really back up to snuff after the hospital stay.

How is Torchlight 3? I made some progress in one of the earlier, but had
no outside references to consult.

Very much like the previous ones, except with different character
classes.

It's enjoyable enough for me to be playing, although I have no idea
about it's replayability.

Diablo2 is still the gold standard for that - played it on and off for a
decade.  

Would have bought the updated version of D2 except they made it online
only and I have less than zero interest in battle.net (Had to do the
online but playing solo thing for Diablo3 - wait in line to play, lag,
random disconnects, these did NOT improve my solo game play.
Uninstalled D3 after maybe 2 months and never had any desire to
reinstall it, nor any desire to buy anything else they've made since
that cannot be played offline.)
