And die thinking of what might've been behind that door? We're most likely never gonna return there "some time later" when the skill is high enough. The feeling of "What if" is just too great some times, even though I am well aware that I'd just get some pre-war money I won't need and not some sort of ultra rare item of legend I'd still open that damn safe just to be sure. I find the Explosive Entry mod to be super-realistic and perfect for F3 and its cured me of my console addiction. Additonally, turning the console off entirely can lead to some rather unfortunate incidents like when you get stuck somewhere or some guy bugs up. I hated that on the PS3. The console is handy to have. Explosive Entry is quite legitimate and realistic for those who don't want to dump into lock picking for sure. Gives extra use to explosives. I just mean if you haven't tailored your character to be able to open said locks in some way... just don't cheat. This person needs to engage in some exercises of willpower instead of projecting said problems onto the console. If one can't make that decision for themselves though, I'd say his problems are more complex then cheating in a video game. If you don't want to cheat, don't use the console to cheat, you don't need shock therapy for Fallout 3 ;) ... well, with somewhere around 2500-3000 saves maybe I do...
