Comment on Request for CRPGs recs on the current Steam sale
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI just played through it this year for the first time. It was overall very good, but the beginning and end of it are pretty rough. The beginning is tedious unless you’re playing a strength build, and the end is some real point and click adventure game moon logic to find out how to get to the final area and, in some ways, through it, that I would have never figured out without a walkthrough.

The maze puzzle with the electrified floor is some absolute bullshit. I wonder if there's a mod to remove that nonsense?
As for the beginning, I used a mod to skip the Temple of Trials because you're absolutely right, it's such a tedious slog. Yay, executive meddling!

What part of that was executive meddling?

The Temple of Trials is intended to be a tutorial - something the executives insisted they include. The first game's tutorial is in the manual.

I agree that the game should have a tutorial. The problem with the temple trial is that it only caters to one play style, so it’s not a good tutorial. I’d call the first game’s tutorial the cave with a handful of rats.
