I was almost exactly 50 hours into the game, having encountered half a dozen of the damn things, before I finally did a quest where the NPC noted that the claw itself has the solution on it. I had just been brute forcing the puzzles because I couldn't find any clues in the surrounding environments.

I bruteforced it until now lol. Thanks XD
I remembered it from one of the videos Bethesda did a while back. :D
Suddenly everything makes sense. Thanks for the info.
i believe at one point it said in the note book with one of the claws that when you hold the claw the answer is in the palm of your hand
yep this is one of few quests i did until now. You get it in first village, its about bandits stealing nothing but golden claw from shop. When you find the bandit leader and get that claw from him, you also find his journal. it was written in it.
Yep, first storyline quest, you can also get it from the first shop. When you get the Golden Claw, the guy have a note on him saying how "When you are holding the claw, the answer is in your palm". Kinda obvious...
you got to zoom in on it
Are you talkin about the golden claw where you use it to open the bear, dragonfly, owl door?
It wasn't hard at all. Sometimes you just need to take your time and "examine things"...
If you're gonna put something in a spoiler tag, you might as well make it a real spoiler.
Well I figured what I posted was obvious enough and didn't want people to see it if they didn't want to.
Sometimes the claw has it, when there is a claw. Sometimes though, you just need to look behind the pillars or around near.
Speaking of these claws, I've done dungeons for multiple claws, but I have no idea where I can use the Coral one. Anyone know?
read the note the evil dude dropped(the one you get out if the spider web). it says "the clue is in the palm"
So many people that get stuck on these parts, has no one seen any of the preview material?
I intentionally didn't.
Same here.
Fortunately, on the first claw quest, I looted a journal from the same guy that had the claw, and when I read that journal, it mentioned how to solve the puzzle.
I..err, hate to be a downer, man, but I figured that out in like, two minutes. If all else fails, check out the Macguffin!
Seriously. Not to mention that there are only 27 possible combinations and it was shown in this pre-release trailer.
