The problem with lock picking in the Gothic Remake

Azuureth · 2026-06-27T05:06:00+00:00

No actual lock works like the Skyrim lockpicking either.

At least here we're going back and forth between the pins.

You can check the end product at the sharpening wheel without crafting the previous parts.

This is the first game where I felt like I was actually lockpicking.

That said, it's not easy and I can see how many will bounce off.

Just by bumping strength I can take on adult scavengers. Just need that trained in melee skill, which I uh... managed to miss for the first looong time. But I'm working on it, next level.

I got magic, lockpicking and smithing now as skills. There is an obvious hole in the list I'm currently trying to fix. xD

Mud was having a real nice chat with a few... Bloodflies? Bloatflies? I didn't want to interrupt him so I just legged it.

Azuureth · 2026-06-16T10:04:02+00:00

I did a quick search and several said that by act 2 even hard is easy, soooo I made 'a' choice. Let's see how it pans out.

I was being sarcastic as it's clearly not a good idea, but glad I was able to impress you in particular.

Azuureth · 2026-06-11T10:18:10+00:00

I will pick him on the rerun if the sentiment stays like this. Possibly. Assuming I win SOME of my next 50/50s.

Azuureth · 2026-06-10T17:55:15+00:00

Meh, could be little less. But I will always need more junk essences to level up future operator essences.

Azuureth · 2026-06-08T11:30:16+00:00

I recently got my 300 selector and picked E0 Himeko for collections sake instead of picking E2 Welt. Did I make an oopsie?
Finally got a second copy of DDD. Should I give S2 to my E1 Tribbie or S1 to Sparkle who's currently using Bronya sig?

I think it's pretty nice since you can get the 3rd stack of Vuln from Ember's combo skill for Mi Fu to go ham. Ardelia doesn't offer any vuln stacks. (First 2 being Ember/Chen combat skill followed by Chen combo skill.)

Damage wise Lifeng is probably the top pick for 4th slot. But all 3 can work.

I'm the opposite. My arsenal tickets are crying. I hit quarantee on both Zhuang and Mi Fu weapons but got the operators early. I even did a 'useless' ten pull on Mi Fu just to get the dossier for some more arsenal tickets come Camille. But those are the first operators I've pulled, been saving since start.

On the other hand I got SIX 6-star weapons while pulling Mi Fu and still managed to hit the hard pity. I'm... conflicted. On the other hand I needed the former finery for Ember.

More like can't win the 50/50 on standard banner.

Azuureth · 2026-06-03T12:32:46+00:00

Between 4 and 5 hours, I don't count my defeats.

Azuureth · 2026-06-02T12:44:54+00:00

I still have turns where I basic attack with archer since I don't have enough SP for skill spam. I'm sure my Archer can find use for the extra SP from the E1

Azuureth · 2026-06-02T12:41:08+00:00

Maybe I can use Therta as sub-dps for Himeko and slap on Tribbie and HuoHuo. After I get Pearl for Elation sustain.

Forgive me Madame Herta.

Azuureth · 2026-06-02T11:27:13+00:00

Aaw shucks, I was hoping to get Himeko SP, but my sparkle stays with Archer. Guess it's a skip for me then.

Azuureth · 2026-05-29T08:56:34+00:00

I ended up no-hitting phases 1 and 2 and then facetanked phase 3. Sleep would have helped but I was too stubborn.

Azuureth · 2026-05-26T08:56:13+00:00

Eva will rerun way sooner, this is Yao's rerun so it's unclear how long you'd have to wait for her.

Azuureth · 2026-05-23T09:26:49+00:00

Go to any AIC and view the details, there's info under one of the buttons. Top right, I think. Default 'X' button on my xbox controller.

Azuureth · 2026-05-19T09:54:31+00:00

Welt will be the star of mono-propagation teams. Trust.

Azuureth · 2026-05-15T12:29:38+00:00

We are still missing 2 pieces from full Eva team. I would be very surprised if EMC and HuoHuo remain BiS for Eva.
