So not to sound like a total moron, but how does one open that Apprentice level chest in the opening sequence? I've got a Security of 35 and the lockpick is equipped, per hint-box instructions... still won't open. What am I doing wrong?

You may have hit a bug. It doesn't matter, there's only like 20 gold in there, you can get more by snagging everything you find in the building and pawning it off in the tradeshop.

Leave it to me to figure it out mere *MINUTES* after posting this cry for help. Just for the record for anyone else stuck... equip it like you would a weapon, then look at the locked item you want opened. Ready the lockpick so it's visible in your hand (as if it were a dagger or other weapon), then Use it (hit whatever button that normally swings the weapon at the enemy).
Thanks for the post, N-L... I did loot the building... quite a tidy sum of gp once it's all sold.

Well, my fellow MA resident, I just thought you knew that and you just hit a bug and the chest just wouldn't open for some reason. No offense, but I still can't believe you didn't know how to do that

Hey, the game is not all that specific about the lockpicks. I'm sure everybody had a problem with that for awhile. You don't stab chests with lockpicks in any other game. Not his fault.

I think this is yet another good case for pointing out why a decent manual is needed in most games. Or at least some sort of in game tutorial, especially for the basic skills, dammit.
@Naked_Lunch Heya, I see I'm not the only one that tones it down for here.

Actually, when I first played the game I wanted to see if you could attack creatures with the lockpick since you do "stab" with it. Lets just say that the mudcrab didn't take that to well....

That is funny!
Are you having fun picking locks?
I loved picking locks so much, that I literally spent at least 30 hours of game-time of the 300 + I spent playing the game picking locks and stealing stuff. I loved it so much that I decided to play Theif2, then Thief3 because it was so fun picking locks, that I needed an entire game devoted to this!
Great news is that lock-picking is getting overhauled to be more like Thief. A guy who worked on Thief2 is on Bethsoft's dev team now!

I did get occasionally something like a bug when I casted the spells " erkash 100% open lock": what happened was I saw some purple circles on top of the box but it did not open. Did anybody see the same thing?
When I enchanted a belt with 100% open lock/door, it works prefectly. |
