Re: Key Buffering problem with timed puzzles

Another argument against the "speed challenges". Is that they really detract for the otherwise excelent and tense atmosphere of the game. I'm mean, that to do those challenges, I completetly change my frame of mind, from dungeon exploring, to a sort of piano lesson feeling. I even go as fa...

Re: Key Buffering problem with timed puzzles

But what do many of us get for our trouble. We get people that turn on you and bash you and then tell you that this game isn’t for you.

Re: Key Buffering problem with timed puzzles

Completely agree with the OP. Dexterity and quickness are a growing issue as I move deeper in the dungeon.
