Thanks for the help Bluerose
It was really appreciated.
Celia, I agree giving solutions right off the bat defeats the purpose of the puzzle, but how do you define "right off the bat"? I spent hours on the L R puzzle and could not find the solution. On the others, I would try every combination I could think of. When frustration sets in, I would go onto something else, but finding the solutions were always in the back of my mind. If I happen to think of a new approach, I would run back and try it. I reached a point where I wanted to proceed with the game, but the unresolved puzzles affected my overall feeling towards the game.
I was under the impression that if you find yourself stuck on any part of game listed on Aldorlea you could ask for the solution. If someone has one to offer they can post it as a "Spoiler". Is this not so? Not sure what you mean about complaining about the activities of other forum members. If I Offended anyone, you have my sincere apology.
We all have our own style of playing. When I buy into a game my goal is find all the goodies,do all the side quests and get yourself and your team (if you have one) as skilled and strong as possible. I'm not one that likes to leave unresolved parts of a game. Had I bypassed the hard puzzles, I would have missed out on 2 Stats. The extra Stats added to the 8 Dexterity that I already had gives me access to the Trial of Gile
