You just reminded me of a funny feature I found in Elite Dangerous (space MMO) to prevent combat logging (quitting suddenly during combat like a little b***h): if you press Alt+F4, the game doesn't immediately exit, but shows you a Quit dialog (to main menu or desktop), and there's a lengthy countdown if you're near hostile ships. :)

Doesn't prevent it entirely, but I thought it was pretty crafty.

Colorblind options that let me specifically choose the color of each HUD/UI element. I don't want an overlay for the whole game, I just want to be able to distinguish icons in the UI that might have color-coding too similar for my eyes to perceive at a glance

I can't think of a setting that would universally apply to all games, like I'd be hard pressed to say a setting in Tetris that would apply to Minecraft. Vision and auditory accessibility is probably about it, but those settings would look pretty different I think depending on the game or genre of game.

Ohh, that type of setting.

One option I really appreciated in Uncharted 4 was the ability to restart cutscenes, and I wish it was in every game with cutscenes.

Subtitles. I wish I could have suuttiles for halo, the early games. It's getting better these days, and should be a setting accessible before starting the game (not after the intro movie, I'm looking at you vanilla wow).

I'm not sure about every game but I'd like to see a lot more games do what Rebel Galaxy did and let you set up paths for custom OST. No game dev can license the perfect soundtrack for every player, but it's great to be able to slot in what I feel makes the perfect soundtrack. Some people want their fight scenes to be scored with DMX, some want Burzum, and some want the Cronos Quartet. Let them all find their moment.

As much as Starfield is hated, I like how they did the difficulty settings. Each type of interaction has different settings, the easier the less XP the harder the more XP earned. I like fragmented difficulty settings, not just easy, normal, hard and nightmare fuck myself have no fun.

A remove HUD options. I'd also like it if they put a big warning in the graphics section explaining how higher graphics can affect the game.

I see a lot of people bitching about lag, but if my shit connection and potato PC can run the game on low, I'm pretty sure the complainers need to reduce their expectations, accept that they don't have a top of the line computer anymore and bring down their settings.

Color blind options even for those that aren’t color blind. Sometimes they add a different ui color palette which is fun
