cowboy lockpick

[kitus]

I had a thought when i was in the sunset sassparilla building today, because all of the doors are wooden you see. so i pulled my .357 from my hip and i shot at the lock, splinters went everywhere, and the game gave me a nice looking bullet hole where the lock used to be.

 

but ofcourse, the door was still locked and i still lacked the skill to pick it.

 

what i'm getting at here is wouldn't it be really nice to be able to shoot the locks open on certain doors? i can imagine a military blast door not opening to the power of a pistol in your hand, but surely the others would be blown wide open.

This sounds great and I'd love to see it in the game.

On a side note, there was a mod for F3 that allowed you to blast locks with explosives.

I was using one named "cherry bomb locks"

The name tells was does that mod. It was pretty good. I didn't use the other door-blasing mod.

On the other hand. Blasting a lock with explosives in "not-real-time" is a bit boring. Shooting a lock would be much more fun. I agree kitus. Maybe a nother thing : You use a c-4 plastic charge, attach it near the lock with some duct tape then get behing something and BOOM. That would be sweet. :rolleyes:

The lock-blasting cheat for FO3 was brilliant, you could set the mod to be really twitchy needing a high explosives skill to open hard doors without destroying the things contained. Timers would malfunction, explosives could fail to open the door and still alert every opponent for miles. Played at that level it was hardly a cheat, while getting the hang of it I destroyed as much as I successfully opened and on one occasion nearly killed a companion!

 

I was really hoping that they would roll it into this game as an alternative to lockpick as it was much fun.

It would be really cool to blast through doors, then again, I haves the majical SKELETON KEY
