I think the axe is justified when Owlcat didn't drop the management system. The game would have been far more enjoyable if it was dropped or if was only left as a mini-game that you could ignore completely. Also the game was released in a buggy state where it should have stayed in EA longer.
Auto crusade : ON => 0 management.
Never but never turn auto crusade on. It's a trap option that will mess up your ending at best, and could halt your progress in certain mythic paths at worse. At least for now
