Some things are best left to a cutscene.

Case in point:

I go through multiple loading screens (loading the map / opening the map chart) only to talk to an NPC that will say something trivial like:

-- this way is locked! let's find another way.

This happens multiple times and it feels like something designed to slow players down, specially speed runners.

It's unnecessary and can be best resolved by a stoppable cutscene.
