Into the abyss - "cheating" on many puzzles

[villacco]

Has someelse noticed how easy it is, to take a connector out of puzzle 7 (stylite) via jumping over the wall on the left side after solving the puzzle? Is that intentional?

I used the connector for solving many other puzzles. (puzzle 8 and 9 and the green dream in puzzle 9 - for example)

I don't think it's intentional; and if i "solve" other puzzles that way i wouldn't be satisfied. Before i start acting that way i prefer to watch a solution video.
In TTP1 it was indeed necessary to take out items out of the puzzles to get stars and trigger secrets, but in TTP2 (Main-Game and DLC) this concept is not applied.

you'd be surprised how easy it is to get a cube out, and by having that you can finish the Abyss in 5 minutes skipping the solving of the puzzles. (Finish as in only doing the needed number of puzzles story want)

That's how Talos Principle 1 was. Easy to get things over the wall. It's intentional.

Pretty sure that's not intentional in the Abyss. The green dream is Color Theory can be obtained without any outside connector, took me a while to figure it out though.

That one took me quite a while. Got suck as heck in the second room
Funny you had to kind of solve it twice to get the 'story'

I liked that a lot about TTP1
Escpecially all the stars, which are not great in TTP2

For the stars in part 2 "Isle of the Blessed" I used a lot of connectors from the megastructure as well.
Eventually I saw that I did not need them.
