Sphinx quest ruined my motivation to play(spoilers)

[Nex]

I didn't think one quest could burn me out this much. I searched for the first coin all day yesterday and half of today. I am just beyond burnt out. It has probably been a week in game. Really have no desire to play anymore, which sucks because I was really enjoying the game. Before this I never looked to any guides. Now here I am on map gene searching all the starting areas for potential first tokens. I am just exhausted and have zero desire to play now.

To add to this I unlocked the trickster before I even found the sphinx. Before starting this quest I already had 70 tokens.. FML. I just can't recall that far back.

Mate, you dont even need to complete the riddle, just wait 7 days, it times out, she says oh well and you can do all the other Sphinx stuff without penalty.

Download the mod then that marks it on your map. I understand not wanting to "cheat" but if its totally ruining your experience just do it real quick and move on.

On my second play i wrote down where i found the first seeker token, i could remember on my first play either.

The game in general does everything in it power to make you not want to play the game. The Devs made most of the systems more complicated and harder than they needed to be and even in some cases are selling the solution in the store.

Search in starting area. There are 9 locations. Here is interactive map https://mapgenie.io/dragons-dogma-2/maps/world

Is it really necessarry to do? I did not even plan to do it before I finish the game.
What is the reason to do this quest? Really honest question.

They're pretty cool quests with some pretty cool rewards.

If it gets so bad, I just might. Doubtful, but who knows. I play games for the sense of exploration, so tapping into any guide ruins the reason I play. I suppose I play to max, too, but I enjoy the rewarding nature of finding the stuff alone. :/ I need to rewire my brain. This game was made without care for people like me. Probably designed with hopes peopel would make guides.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't walk everywhere. I think the no option to teleport without costing you an arm and a leg. Or lack of teleportation is just weighing on me. I am completely burnt out of fighting all the same stuff. Normally I 100% these types of games. I 100% dragons dogma 1 and I had half the patience back then. :/

I wonder if I will play again. I am level 45. Trying to search every corner. Good to know I have that option for later.

DD1 was just an overall fun experience. Not sure what happened here. I suppose teleportation limits are the major thing ruining this game.

DD1 had those same limitations. Dark Arisen did add the eternal ferrystone, but that was essentially DLC. If you only ever played the PC version, you're used to being able to travel freely, but the original DD1 had the exact same fast travel as DD2 does. Minus the ox carts.

I run around from the very beginning to the big city looking for it for hours, once i reached the city i instantly remembered that ♥♥♥♥ it was the one on the statue next to the bridge in the city. Hours wasted for my bad memory lol

i just moved on to my next adventure. No biggie for me. I don't understand why they make these sort of riddle mini games anyway. In fact, I dislike them so much that I don't even bother to google the answers. I'd be curious to know the percentage of players that google the answers if I cared.
