Alright, I don't know how many hours I have into Dragon Age, but I have the expansion, and I've bought all the DLC as well (another $35 or so.) I've been enjoying playing my way through as a chaotic good type rogue\assassin\duelist. But a couple of nights ago I finally got back onto the main story line, trying to get the Ashes of Andraste in the lower left hand corner of the world map. I had to go through "the Gauntlet" of tests to get to the Ashes. I enjoyed the riddles from the ghosts. But then I got to the "create a bridge puzzle." I played with it for 20 minutes or so, and got nowhere. I repeatedly dropped characters into oblivion. I understood that I needed to slowly move one character across, so I would need to keep at least one piece solid the whole time for them to stand on... But I firmly believe that you could put me in prison cell with that puzzle and I would starve to death before I figured it out.
It totally broke the flow of the game for me, and I very nearly just uninstalled it, despite my already substantial time investment. But I went online and searched for help, only to find forums full of people ridiculing others for not being able to figure out a puzzle "that an 8 year old could." After taking that ego bashing for a while, I realized the puzzles were different on Xbox and PC. But still, I really don't think I would ever have solved that puzzle and progressed in the main storyline if I hadn't found the solution online.
My point is, please ridicule me for not being able to solve the puzzle. Tell me how you did it in 3 minutes without even using a sheet of paper to write anything down. Thanks.
