YOU WANNA HEAR A STORY? OK SO PIC RELATED, PLAYING DISHONORED 2. PRETTY DECENT SO FAR. IF YOU PLAYED IT, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER A DOOR WITH A RIDDLE COMBINATION LOCK. I WALK UP TO IT AND READ THE RIDDLE, THINKING "I'm gonna solve this on my own instead of looking for clues." SO I START WRITING DOWN NOTES FROM THE RIDDLE, PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE GEARS ARE TURNING IN MY BRAIN, DEDUCE A COUPLE THINGS, THEN SAY TO MYSELF "I should back out to see if my character says anything important or look at the door for what format the answer is in." SO I WALK OVER TO IT AND SEE 5 NAMES AND FIVE SYMBOLS. WOW-EE-GOSH-DARN-GOSH, THAT'S 1 MORE SYMBOL THAN I WAS ANTICIPATING NEEDING TO LEARN THE POSITION FOR. I ROTATE IT TIL I SEE THE NEW SYMBOL AND WRITE IT DOWN. THEN I NOTICE THAT ONE OF THE 5 NAMES IS REPEATED, AND DECIDE TO ROTATE THE NAME TO LOOK AT EVERY NAME AND SYMBOL POSSIBLE, AND THEN WORK OUT THE RIDDLE FROM THE INFORMATION I WROTE DOW-
*click* *click* *whirr* *click*
>no
*click* *creak* "now I just have to blah blah"
>NO NO NO
*door opens*
AAAAAGGGGGHHHH
WHAT IS THE SHEER LUCK? SHEER DISAPPOINTMENT? SHEER CHANCES? SHEER ANGER? I WAS SO, SO, SO READY TO SOLVE THIS RIDDLE AND THEN IT JUST, SOMEHOW, BY SHEER COINCIDENCE OPENS FOR ME. I DIDN'T EVEN CONSIDER IT A POSSIBILITY. I GOT AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT SAYS "EUREKA" FOR OPENING THE DOOR. THAT ISN'T A "EUREKA" MOMENT, THAT'S A MOMENT THAT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A SIX YEAR OLD PLAYING WITH A COMBINATION LOCK AND OPENING A SAFE. I WAS GOING TO EXERCISE MY TINY LITTLE BRAIN AND FIGURE OUT THAT RIDDLE BUT NO, NO, NO, IT OPENS WITH LITERALLY NO CHALLENGE, BARELY EVEN 3 TURNS TO FIND THE ONES THAT WEREN'T THERE BEFORE.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
