Forcing a Lock?

Post by Vicsun »

I know this is possible, but how? I have tried entering combat mode and then clicking on the closed container, but it just sais: Locked. I know I can do it with explosives but they arn't limitless... So how can I force a lock with a weapon?
Vicsun, I certainly agree with your assertion that you are an unpleasant person. ~Chanak

I don't get your question. Can you elaborate it.

You can pound on a locked object and break it, though that damages whatever weapon you're using. As I recall, you enter attack mode, and go for it.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Al Reyes: How can I "brake" the lock on a door or chest.
fable: I tried that. I enter combat mode and left-click of the door/chest but the PC tries to open it and all I get is a "you cannot open that" message.

So you are trying to open a lock by "force". Now I get it. You go into combat mode in real time perhaps. Hold down the Alt key then left click the door/chest.

You know what, I know a Vicsun at TA's forum. Are you the one?

Well, TA is down again and I don't know when they are going to finish it. :(
