I know one of the major complaints with the design of Skyrim is the puzzles and the simplicity they have usually the key being in front of or above the pillars.
I give you "Of Fjori and Holgeir" to consider. If you don't know what I speak of then there is more the universe has to offer you, adventure on Dude!

I'll say what I usually say. No puzzles are better than easy puzzles.

When the puzzles are all easy, with no challenge or real thought required, it becomes a case of simply going through the motions. And that is never fun.

Indeed, it becomes quite tedious.

The point I am making is that not all puzzles fall into this category. The Majority yes but I have found a few gems in my exploring.

'Of Fjori and Holgeir' wasn't really any more difficult than any other puzzles IMO.

At least it was unique and you had to think of the answer. I have also found two more that where riddles I had to figure out, not overly hard but an attempt at uniqueness that fit the lore.
