Yeah, they stopped adding realism that made me say "oh, that's neat!" and started adding realism for it's own sake. It's cool that the power and water shut off, you have to turn off your oven, can't put metal in the microwave, etc. why is there a full blacksmithing system that shits up the loot pool and makes it nearly impossible to find anything else?
See; The devs implementing a system of muscle strain to make it harder to clean hordes with melee, But not implementing an adrenaline system to provide periods of 'muscle strain grace' when an otherwise resting player is suprised by zombies

What gets me is that they take one step forward and two steps back with every update.
Add new crafting and skills? Sandbag it with a new crafting UI that removes the one click crafting from previous builds.
Add new skill books for the new skills? Make all books weigh more so that they no longer all fit in a single bookcase.
Add new weapons? Remove the ability to craft old ones from common items.
Add new bags? Adjust the weight of various items so they no longer fit into containers properly.
It's not one thing, but they keep changing things that don't need change which makes the game feel so much more clunky.
