Actually even finding the area where the trang arm is entirely exceeded me. I never would have completed that in a million years, I spent hours.

You pull a cord on a catapult and it lets you in the courtyard to the other side of the squasher machine. I can say in all honesty I never would have figured that without a hint.
There are many things like this in games. I dont think of it as negative personally I like it a lot. I give it a shot but if I cant get it I ask for help.
I dont think of this level of difficulty as negative at all. The puzzles in wizardry 8 are difficult. Just the rapax area which I just came through is extremely difficult in and of itself, and all the peices to the puzzles are there in the area.
But if someone sees it as a big negative that they cant figure out all the puzzles in a game by themselves, that it is difficult, then they might not appreciate wizardry 8. Wizardry 8 is set in general at what I would consider high difficulty.
Many of the difficult puzzles you can get wrong and still complete the game. There are a couple that you cannot.

No, I went a long long way into the game before I found the mook. The xray machine doesnt reveal them until you get there lol. I never walked into the cubbyhole. If I at least would have been told in the game, that the mook youre supposed to deliver the letter to is in Arnika, I would have been able to scour it and had a chance at finding it, but without that with the whole world to pick from I dont think I ever would have found it without a hint.... some people may have found them first trip to arnika.
