It's been a while since I played either, but I think Gothic might have
edged out Ultima Underworld in the number of interactions.

But UU had weapons degradation, spell crafting (well rune arranging) and
some other things Gothic didn't as I recall.

I guess when the new crop of gamers are diagnosed ADHD and/or ADD and
love "speed runs" developers feel there isn't much point in adding all
this stuff, even in MMOS.  <Sigh>

IE ESO has armor wear (but no weapons wear,) but no matter your skill
you can't repair it, except with special 1-use kits of the appropriate
level.   A master blacksmith that crafted the armor in the first place
has to buy a kit to repair it, or pay some random shopkeeper to do it
(yeah cause it makes so much sense that a cook, woodworker, mage,
travelling merchant, whatever would be better at armor repair than the
person who crafted it in the first place.)
