Sorry if I re-spawn this topic, but I played both games recently and it came in mind!  :-[

-Code puzzles (ranging from simple, eg find the code itself, to complicated, ie codify some info you find elsewhere) are very common.
-Opening doors (finding a key, etc) is certainly the most common "puzzle".
-Getting info from NPCs (if you regard that as a puzzle; either through dialogue or doing some quest for the Npc)

You know, for a while I've had an idea for a new take on that old puzzle.
You see, a lot of games have a safe that you character owns, but forgot the password of. And you naturally have to find the password. But what if any password you put in works, because since it's your safe, YOU should know the password. And therefore the first password you put in, the game saves for later use. Perhaps even reusing it when you need to open the safe at a later date.
You could even have a hint like the character saying: "Now what was the password again? Oh yes, now I remember!"
