Having to "cheat" by having to farm stuff in order to proceed and

sure I almost finished it but am not going back to try and finish it.

Hard and almost impossible boss fights, or boss fights to begin with!

And now, I have just about had it with Oblivian Remastered.  Do you

Oh - any stupid and hard puzzles in a game which forces me to

Well, I just quit playing Oblivion Remastered.  I am only level 2 and
I see no reason why I should already have a HARD rated lockpicking
puzzle trying to get out of the sewers. I had 30 lockpicks and there
are four tumblers. I get 2 out of the 4 and mess up one and have to
start all over again!

Let's see.  What should I play next....

 I found a way out without the lockpick puzzle.  Not sure I ended up in
the right place.  Forgot about the clarivoyance spell to light the
way.  So I am back at it :-)
 I thought you all would be interested hehe
