The one addressed by a thread's title - the existence of cheesy gameplay in the game. Let me elaborate a bit on my first remark. I don't think that the mere existence of cheesy strats ruins the game or makes the whole game "a children's sandbox" or results in "it's over" moment. I think it all ties up into a player wanting reasonable challenge, but at the same time wanting the rules to be forced upon them by a system. Thats why I am more on the side of "if you don't like it - don't do it" argument than "it ruins the experience" argument. Because what really ruins the experience are the mental blockers in players' heads. BTW, a lot of people say that Larian loves cheesy strats, but when I watch PfH I always see the classic "game journalist gameplay" with two people using zero cheesing at all and getting a tough beating. I think the devs behind the game design are not "pro gamers" themselves, thats why they can't satisfy the demand for "fair system" that comes from those who are torn apart between being able to cheese and not wanting to. Those are the few that write those requests on forums etc, while I think the majority just enjoy the system as it is or set self limitations according to their preference. Thats why I pointed out that the issue is not that dramatic, in my opinion.
