Lucents

I just wanna say that there are so many things I enjoyed about Fargrave and Deadlands questing, more than I have in a while.
BUT
The lucents... I don't get the idea behind this mechanic. It's just gibberish. You take the thingy, charge it in the other thingy, unlock in yet another thingy. It's just words and unnecessary forced pseudo complexity without being the slighest challenging.
Am I the only one who cringed at this every time?

    It did seem very clunky with a lot of back and forth rather than actual puzzle.

    Well got to admit, that 6 bells puzzle on Vvardefell Public Dung was better. Lucents mech is very easy, like 5 years old can do it. But imagine how annoying it would be if you'd need to for example charge it with soul like soul gem and you've already killed everything on your way there... Now you got to wait for re-spawn. I think it was not challanging at all but it also wasn't annoying pause in quest. But yup I'd love to have in settings option to change how hard will puzzle be, like in old good Silent Hill. Easy, medium and hard would be enought.

    I think it blows away the "puzzle" also in the storyline where you have to "align the boxes with the runes."

    First I saw no runes, second it didn't matter anyway just keep going you'll "solve" it.

    ESO needs more puzzles like those in the offline Elder Scrolls games, e.g. the Skyrim puzzle in the Mzulft Aedrome Oculory.
