How to choose to bash door instead of lockpick it?

BenWah · 01-12-2012, 01:29 AM

Do i have to drop my lockpicks to avoid using them?
It seems they are used automatically if they are anywhere in my inventory.

To conserve lockpicks, I'd like to kick down doors instead of picking them. But having to drop my picks and pick them back up before and after is cumbersome.

Apologies if this is the dumbest question in the history of this forum, which is probably is if I'm missing something obvious LOL

Kick the door where the latch isn't - that doesn't use a pick and kicks instead.

Where isn't the latch? Pic with annotations maybe?

Personally I keep my lockpicks on the items quickbar (whatever its called), and pick them up before opening a door. You don't need to drop them on the ground or anything. Of course you need to configure the game to open doors by moving into them first.

Don't have a pic handy myselt, but if you look at the door you'll notice it's in two sections seperated by a white line when closed? The white line is the latch. Hit the door on the square that doesn't face the latch to kick it instead of pick.

Use WASD not mouse.

You'll find there are lots of things that don't work properly with mouse. (moving around minions, rather than through them is by far the most inconvenient)
