Thankfully it has died out, but minigames that add literally nothing to gameplay. Most of the time this was in the form of having to drop all flow of gameplay to play a stupid fucking Pipe Mania game for 5 minutes to hack something. Every bethesda game has lockpicking and hacking, the former being fun for about 10 minutes and the latter I still don’t get what the puzzle even is supposed to be. If I wanted to play these kinds of games, I woulda started up Minesweeper and not a first person shooter. I really hope these minigames where skill checks used to be never make a return.
