About the original idea of the topic, my point of view is that the dislike of some players about the time based puzzles or semiarcade scenes is not related to the impossibility for acomplish them, the majority of that kind of puzzles in Grimrock can be solved in a couple or more tries with some obse...

I never liked at all the Dungeon Hack appoach to randomization. But I ever liked the Diablo System. On Dungeon Hack the Dungeons were just no sense huge maps. No sense empty rooms because of the direct creation of the maze and I had no interest or hope to find something different from a huge map wit...

I ´d like to have the rights to sell a lot of old classics with the proper old package, from infocom to the last examples on the 90.

I am more interested in variety of treasures and chests. Some randomization into that.

Random puzzles? not very interested
randomization of parts into the editor? I like it.

But puzzles is another story. Puzzles must be hand made, otherwise the puzzle should be just "a key fit a door" type of puzzle.

Extreme scriptation kills replayability and extreme random dungeons kill the soul of a story and the quality of the maps.
