I was given W&W as a gift about 6 months ago. I played through the first town, got the hang of the controls & interface & such, & genarally started liking the game a lot. Got into 2nd town, and worked my way to the serpent temple. Here I got so annoyed that I put the game down and haven't touched it for about 5 months. The problem, spefically, was the Prison Puzzle. You know, the one with 6 locked doors and 4 levers? One thing I can't stand is random combination puzzles. No hints earlier in the game as to how to open them, no scroll or map that you have to search for or find to get you through the doors, no ability to apply logic or problem solving. Just 4 levers, and you need to pull random combinations and open the doors. I equate this to handing someone a combination lock and saying "get it open". Not fun, just tedious. And I don't see going to a "walkthrough" to have someone else tell me how to get through it. So I recently decided to give the game another go, but my question is, how many of these "random combination" puzzles can I expect from this point on? If it's a few, I guess I can live with it. If there are many of them, where there is nothing to the puzzle but tediously trying to figure out a random pattern, then I'd like to know now...
