First level physics puzzles worth it?

[Lord Vorian]

So I came to an area of the first level where there are a series of bottomless pits. I was able to use a strecher to bridge the gaps and get across. The next two rooms I gather you have to get something to block the door when you open it because it closes too fast. So I built a little ramp with the available objects in the first room, and got through after many attemps. The second door closed even faster and was more difficult, but while I was messing with objects near the door I accidentaly opened my invintory and my game crashed. So now I'm back at the checkpoint.....

TL;DR:
Is there anything cool beyond that area? I don't want to spend the next hour dragging stuff around if I get through all of those doors and it's like "Good job! Now you get to see a room where they wove their baskets. Feel the realism flow through you."

There is some randomized loot at the end and it also allows you to head directly to level 2 without fighting (unless it bugs out and the undead are in the maze section lol). Those are the two benefits of going through that area.

Three benefits - going through the maze area allows you to get paid for a days work if you are extremely observant.

Thank you!

Uugh.
Finally got through the second door after nearly dying to an undead who ambushed me, only to have the game crash while I was trying to build a fulcrum to keep those levers up. I really wanted to enjoy this system .. .. but I think I'll let some one else watch their ladder snap back to it's place after the fourth attempt to place it, while I go play Witcher.

I think they are worth it because they are the most interesting thing in the first four levels. Well, there's a boss on the 4th level (don't think this is such a big spoiler) and that's all.

Is this a bug? O_o I thought this was normal. The undead were passive there, by the way.

What does this mean? Get paid?

Sorry but that item is not important , so I didnt want to spoil and even if you checked every nook high chance you'd not find it.

Well, at least now I know it's an item and not very important. Thanks, I guess.
But for example I found magical helm myself, only from a mention of something
hidden in a note. So I think there's a chance I'd find this item too if I knew there was a reason to search.

Ok, I admit, now I'm curious. :D Made a note for another character walkthrough.
