I ate shit and got blown up too because I was just wandering around admiring the scenery.
I reloaded, unchained my characters, and slowly snuck through until I noticed all of the traps by taking in my surroundings.
Now, I take much more care wandering through areas and don't just mindlessly press forward. It was a great lesson in restraint and attention.
The game shouldn't have to devolve, you should evolve.
