Open the safe *spoilers*

[Squee]

Ok so I'm trying to finish up the raiders/new reno quest and I'm supposed to get the holodisk from Mr Bishop's safe but I can't seem to open it. I got 64% in lockpicking and the expanded lockpicks set but when I try to pick the lock it just says "That does nothing". Any clues?

Characters of either sex can sleep with Mrs Bishop any number of times if they meet with her approval, which requires either ST 6 or CH 6; she'll ask you to join her for a drink as you leave conversation. If you refuse you must find a dialogue option to tell her you'll be back, or else she won't talk to you again. If you follow her upstairs and then refuse to sleep with her, you'll need to use Speech to tell her you have an appointment with Jules or she'll call for the guards. After you've slept with her and left conversation, "talk" to her until she mumbles the combination to her safe, then Lockpick it to get the stuff inside. If you have IN 9, you can get an additional goody here. First you must ask her downstairs if she knows anything about the G.E.C.K. or Vault 13 (which means you must not have found them yet) and get her to mention Vault City. In the conversation after you sleep with her you'll then be able to ask her if she is from Vault City, and eventually she lets you have the Pip Boy Lingual Enhancer hidden in her safe (250 xp) which can be used for a permanent +10% to Speech and 500 xp. Neat! Some other pillow talk stuff:

• If you've tried to open Mr Bishop's safe but didn't yet, you can get the combination to that from Mrs Bishop if you ask about Mr Bishop (you'll still have to disarm the trap).

Well you see the problem here is that I cannot lockpick the safe. Got 90% in lockpicks and extended lockpick set but it just says "That does nothing".

Did you actually get the code from her?
Also, I could remember wrong, but the safe doesn't actually need lockpicking, just using it after getting the code. Have you tried that?

Yeap I have. It's really wierd.

Seems like a bug then. You were playing with version 1.02, right? Patch the game, these kind of bugs are very common in any version lower than 1.05.

The version she mumbles while sleeping is from her safe, not from John Bishop's.I had 90% in lockpicking and succeeded lockipicking Bishop's safe in a 2nd try.I disarmed the trap with 48% in Traps.You can't use any lockpick tool on that safe.
