Having magical doors in the wall open and something coming out of it only goes so far.
This has happened 2 or 3 times as well.
Two or three times, 2 or 3 times. It's the way half the monster spawn for the first half of the game, it's litteraly 2 or 3 hundred times.
Uhhm no. He said "something coming out and only goes so far"...meaning whatever it was didn't get through the door at you and retreated. There has only been a few instances of this. Can't refer to specific events since I don't like leaving spoilers, especially in a game that relies on the element of surprise.

You seem to have misread. He said: "Having magical doors in the wall open and something coming out of it
only goes so far." As in, the idea works for awhile, then it gets old. "Having things come out of magically opening doors" would've probably been a better phrasing, but I think it was clear enough.
