Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks need help finding Finnigan's lockpics

i'm playing with the 1.34 pathch...ok, so i got the quest, went to the Town Watch Building and looted the place.....but never found the lockpicks. One of the two tables in the main room had a key in it, which i grabbed, but it did not give me the +20 dex or allow me to pick locks if i dropped my regular lock picks....i'm pretty sure i searched every room in the place. could this be a bug? am i an idiot and searching in the wrong building?

any insight would be appriciated, thanks for you time.

You're sure you checked both tables? Key should be in one; the lockpicks in the other.

If the lockpick are not in either table (should be in the left one, IIRC), try re-installing the patch; that may put them back. Before the 1.32 hotfix they were breakable, but the hotfix would return them to the table. In games started before installing the 1.34 patch, they would disappear if dropped on the ground.

First try deleting all of the files in the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\Dynamic' folder.
This folder is used as a cache for the game. Files are created / copied there from the save game folder when you load, and written / copied from that folder when you save a game. The files will be re-created as required the next time you start Divinity. If there was a corrupt file in that folder, deleting the files should fix the problem.

If that doesn't help, see a reply to Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files.

there was nothing at all in the left table, and i didnt break/lose the picks because i never had them. i'll try your suggestions though. thanks

ok, nothing else was working so i did the little hack thing to get it into the game, which worked fine...the first time i did that and then went back to check the table there was actually another set in the table! i figured having two probably wasnt a good idea though, so i went to finish the quest and then buy them back, but Finnigan didnt seem to want them anymore. later, when i tryed to go back and grab the ones from the table they had disapeared again and i've yet to get them to come back... :-/

hey i just have one question whered you get the quest....i already tried to steal the lockpicks...lol but i havent seen the quest for them...? [color:"purple"] [/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
