| Deleted User | Come to think of it, the McGyver series could easily be turned into an adventure game.

Taking a stone from your basement, converting it into a "magical weapon" and then using it to break a dreaded object in Darkseed was absolutely nonsense.
Also, the trials at the castle of Eternam were totally weird.

Puzzle SPOILER
*

You need to net a butterfly, which is flapping about above a sleeping Rincewind. It's flying too high for you to reach. So you (wait for it) put a frog in Rincewind's mouth which makes the butterfly fly lower so you can catch it.

| Deleted User | More SPOILERs for Discworld 1:
Rincewind is snoring, which is blowing the butterfly out of your reach. The frog blocks the air flow... Plus it ties everything up nicely, since you (also Rincewind) cough the frog up the next morning, earlier in the game.

I thought the snoring might be preventing it from flying low, but I couldn't for the life of me work out why I had to use a frog. It seemed completely ludicrous and random until you reminded me of the opening scene.
/me makes his peace with Discworld 1.

| Deleted User | Even if things can be clear in hindsight, Discworld I scores high on my most-far-fetched-puzzle-meter. I think it has been the game where I have used a walkthrough the most. The getting the gold buckle from the fishmonger puzzle comes to mind :'(

Oh yeah,THAT one. I solved that one just by trying things at random, and when I hit upon the right solution, never expecting it work, I found myself saying, "Come on, you've got to be kidding!"

The awful cat-and-bouncing-fish thing in Broken Sword 2.
Okay, that's more than one word. But seriously! I was getting so irritated, I wanted to hit the cat with the bloody fish and sort the whole thing out once and for all.
