... Thats because there are no good puzzles in RPG's or in adventure games. Very rarely have i seen smart, interesting puzzles in old adventures.
Sadly smart, interesting puzzles like the one above are almost never found in adventure games or RPG's.
Now please give me an example of a similarly intelligent puzzle in D:OS. Almost all are either pixel hunts or trial and error puzzles. Both types are horrible and should never ever be done by anyone ever again.
as I've pointed out the obvious, D:OS is RPG, but Portal isn't. so, why ask for higher quality puzzle from D:OS while you find most RPGs have bad puzzles? since when is good puzzle part of RPG genre?
Planescape Torment is the best game I've played and BG2 is my favorite game, both are RPGs, and neither has spectacular puzzles...
one last thing, pixel hunts are plenty in D:OS, but there's no trial and error, there're only clues unnoticed.
