2. Create Your Own Bonfire - Dark Souls III
Above all else, the Dark Souls games are renowned for their tough-as-nails difficulty, and so there's no more wondrous sight than that of a bonfire in the distance, serving as a checkpoint for players to rest up and prep for the fight ahead.
The placement of these bonfires is crucial to maintaining a balanced difficulty, but during development of Dark Souls III, FromSoftware originally planned to allow players to create their own bespoke bonfires.
A player who dug into an alpha copy of the game found that they could sacrifice certain enemies to create bonfires, allowing players to decide for themselves when they needed to take a breather.
It's easy to imagine that many Souls purists would've objected to such a feature, but at the same time, it also might've made the game a tad more accessible and less intimidating to newcomers.
