Do you have to do the Shar Temple stuff to finish the game?

Puzzles bore me, l like the combat, but not puzzles.

[PaloG]

Yes, it's tied to main story progression

[✙205🍉🐆→]

yes

[WeirdWizardDave]

Yes but each can be partially or fully circumvented with creative use of spells, scrolls or potions. Better to look at them as less puzzles and more challenges.

[Federok]

its like two simple puzzles, suck it up, and i say this someone who also doesnt like puzzles.

[kuh]

no, kill the demon for 1 gem, use the platform and use knock to open the door.

Game doesn't have much combat. Most dungeons are empty spaces with 1 or 2 encounters.

Surprised you're not board with the entire game.

I got bored with most of the game honestly. Limited combat, an abundance of story, and limited sand in the box tends to do that for me.

That's pretty cool that they'd let you do that.

Actually kind of am in some ways because the pace is so slow if you search and unlock everything, but the character interaction and story line along with various possible outcomes keeping me going so far.

Really? that sound like my kind of solution if I can even figure that out lol.

I might give up on the game here. Did the self-same trial and got disarmed by my mirror image, only to find my two legendary weapons had not dropped to the ground, but disappeared entirely after I had finished the fight. Funny enough, the same crappy clone fight is where I gave up on Divinity Original Sin 2 as well.

Really that didn't come to me as a surprise, it's not a duplication machine lol

While this obviously stings I'd take it as just part of the story of your playthrough. It adds interest and uniqueness, there are plenty of weapons available, you probably would have switched out anyway before too long. This way your character has an interesting story attached to an otherwise fairly mundane fight.

Accepting and rolling with losses and setbacks can really enhance a game like this.

Yeah an RPG with a story, who cares about that right?

Apparently a lot of people, however that doesn't mean that I have to be one of them.

edit:
To clarify. I have nothing against the story, but feel that the game being limited in combat, crafting, gathering, cooking, bathing, etc, really put most of the focus on the story. Good if you are a story focused player, but not so good if you seek activities beyond that.
