The game needs something that slows down the reactions required just a tad after N attempts.
That's a good idea, because it would reward perseverance.
The only thing I'm not sure about:
- Should the game explicitly tell the player that timed puzzles "slow down" if you try them often enough?
- If not, the player may not even notice the slowdown. Or he might think he's actually getting faster :D

My vote is for a "slow time" box or ring, in the form of a few single use items per dungeon, or single three charge item, so these could be used during a tough timed puzzle or tough battle.

Well, I'm one of the guys that can't manage some of the timed puzzles, notably the longer ones where one needs more than, say 7 or 8 movements/clicks to make it.

Darklord (thanks) has posted hints (spoilers-free) for solving timed puzzles viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2055 and I'm used by now to get the dev console out to slow down the game when I can't manage it otherwise. Is it cheating? Sure it is - but then one could argue that 2x2 strafing or hiding behind doors is cheesy gameplay too. I certainly don't feel bad because of it. :)

OK, So i have read the spoilers posted for the Legend of grimrock master quest ,level 5, deserted hallways. BUT, i am having an issue. Every time i pull the level to que the telaporter the level also drops the wooden door in front of if causing me to do an extra step. I dont know if i am just doing something wrong,not doing something fast enough, or its bugged because i see zero way to actually make this in time because i am forced to do the extra step of opening the wooden door. anyone have this problem?
please help i am going crazy.
did you ever complete this i am seriously stuck right here i have tried like 100 times.

The level of complaining here lately is absolutely ridiculous. If that makes me sound like a fanboy then so be it, I'll be the ultimate fanboy.
I wish to make a complaint about people coming here complaining about people that complain about people who are complaining about too much complaining. I wish this complaint acted on forthwith, or else I will be making a complaint. Thank you.
