I do have a beef with this too. I bought a perk called throwing knives and... there are no “throwing” knives! You throw your regular knife and you can’t pick it up again. You lose the knife.

I remember that moment. I turned to my girlfriend and said "Whelp, guess we're not playing a stealth build".

You have to combine crafting with stealth.

Throwing rare quality knives you create yourself (they're cheap to make) does a holy shitton of damage if your appropriate stealth levels are high.

Wouldn't that mean going through the inventory system every time I want to throw more than a knife or two? That seems irrationally clunky. Like making someone use a menu for cut and paste.

Crafting is in a really fucked up place, its true... you can only craft a single item at a time, which is strange because eventually you can craft consumables (grenades, autodoc items, etc.).

I should be able to input a number of knives I want to craft, hit the craft button, and boom, I have 20 knives.

Ammo clips too. Now every 10 minutes I have to stop so I can hold the A button for 2-3 seconds for each of the about a dozen clips I need. It's super boring.
