Players don't have access to the pause button.
 
You also have a few seconds to decide your action for a six-second long round before you have to wait for the next round.

Would moving the 'spoiler' to the final hall be a big issue? Maybe locking the fisrt door behind the player after a certain time so the spoiler cant be avoided. Just my opinion but it's a bit unrealistic that 'spoiler' is immune all the traps anyway.

In my opinion, you shouldn't look at Bilby's as "too difficult". Appreciate it as a chance to improve your rogue skills, with extremely potent rewards in store if you accomplish even just a few of the objectives. I certainly had a hard time figuring out the quest when I began here, but getting the hang of it is a big step towards playing an effective rogue. Which is the point of the quest in the first place, no?

However, upon reflection, there could stand to be one change. I would drop the Listen and Spot ranks of the spoiler so that lower level rogues could run the quest without major issues. Not every rogue can hit a high enough Hide / Move Silently score to avoid trouble, especially without Bilby's loot -- which is why they're taking the quest to begin with.

I always loved this quest myself. It's challenging and has some wonderful rewards. Overall I found it to be a nice perk for Rogues and a good way to practice your skills with traps, movement, and other things in slow times.

Let me get this straight..... Something in EFU is diffuicult?

Though the mentioned spoiler is pretty much the only thing that makes this quest as difficult as it is.
