My biggest gripe in Nioh 3: forced «exploration»

:nioh3_icon:Nioh 3 - Discussion

In Nioh 2 I could run trough a mission and only kill the enemies on the main path if I wanted. Any missed chest or loot would just be items anyway.

In Nioh 3 any chest or corpse could potentionally contain the best skill in the game or a great martial art. This makes it very difficult for me to ignore any loot. It makes me want to run amrita radar and glue my eyes to the minimap while playing.

The effect of this is that the time spent in combat decreases and the time spent finding a way to jump up on a roof increases. I just want to kill yokai and not vacum the map.

I hope that in NG+ you wont have to loot anything again except for dead yokai
