this way you could at least be done instantly with all the stupid random locks, which are hidden out of the way, unguarded.Ī) get as close to the lock as possible, focus on it (center the view, don't move/look around) = save the most amount of time on picking (fastest)ī) don't focus on the lock, but allow yourself to better see the surroundings = standard (slowest) picking.Īnything in between can be calculated with an exponential function, ie. and in true Thief fashion you'd have to balance your focus on the lock with the need to look around to check if you can safely continue. With the mod I'm describing you'd always have to take into consideration both time and your surroundings whilie picking, no matter the place or a lock. IMO, unless the lock is guarded by NPCs or in plain sight where a guard or a camera can spot you any time, a lock requiring more than 3s to pick is just disrespectful to the player.

My thinking is with this mod you could at the very least have a chance to lessen this pain of completely halting your tracks, pushing and holding the button until the game gladly lets you continue having fun. it's ok if it's under a 3s per lock, otherwise it's awful and annoying.Īt least in TDS once you master the UI you can pick a lock in no time, but it's not perfect because you can't look around while doing it and you can't leave a lock half picked, go back and finish the rest, you always have to redo it from start. while anything else in these games requires some level of skill, the lockpicking is purely a mindless action of holding a button and waiting. and on top of that as a player you don't even have any way to improve upon it.

picking locks in T1/2 is nothing more than than a time waste. I hate when games waste my time for no reason. I imagine creating a virtual straight line which connects (in 3D) the center of the screen (tip of player's nose sort to speak) with a single point on the keyhole/knob/lock, and the shorter the line is the less time the picking takes. the center of the screen) the less time you waste on picking? Is it possible to script the game so that the closer the lock/dor knob is to the player's face (ie. I have a question about a seemingly simple mod to improve the lockpicking in T1/T2.
