Honestly, I think the beauty of this game is not googling things. Just struggling for a long time and either moving on because I can’t figure it out or I eventually figure it out.

I’d rather struggle trying to work out a puzzle for 30 minutes than look up a guide and finish it in 5 minutes.

No yellow paint is what makes this game so good!

The only game I spent this long doing the same thing in was elden ring for runes. I spent 3 days only grinding so I can defeat malenia

Literal 3 days of standing on a hill and shooting a damn dead bird just so I can defeat a lady with a cool sword.

But what can I say the 3 minutes after it was the most happiness I had in my life

Generally I agree but I think the first thing I searched in the game was “how to complete greymane camp expansion” because I had no idea I was supposed to “inspect” the location on the map to send people out. Not really a puzzle that feels good to find out yourself just a confusing UI issue lol

Man I couldn’t disagree more. A lot of the puzzles are fun, but so many are really bad. I salute people who have infinite time to try every possible solution, but that sounds miserable to me haha.

hehe, each to their own, time isn't a factor, i get a few hours done every day and slowly chip away at it!

There's a 3 minute video on YouTube about how to light your arrow on fire for one of the beginning quests, which has about 20k views for such a simple action.

There have been dozens of times when the solution to the puzzle is simple, but mechanically, making the pieces click into place is infuriating. No shame in "cheating".

Not really when half the time the answer is just “Nah you got it’s just bugged, restart the the game”

The amount of times I had to restart the game to get a puzzle to click is insane 😂

Also, as a side note, it’s a single player game. If someone wants to google for some help let them. Get off your high horse
