i know, i know...you larians dont like this subject!..but there are still questions to be answered in my mind!!!

first off all..i wanna buy any upcoming game cause i like the way larian do games! the story, the gameplay, the style and everything..

but if you dont mind may i ask you why lockpick skill, if you dont need it?? ...why why?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
OK i understand i cant use my lockpick skill!!! This cant be a bug!!!
This is like making a 3D game without using 3D graphics..
or making pizza without cheese....you cant miss that!

quest bugs are normal..you can miss some of them debugging, but the lockpick issue really hurts me! im a natural warrior with thiefing skills..i always been so!

the one exciting thing what makes me a RPG and FRP fan was picking chest for treasure!! looking inside things what dont belong to me! doing things what i cant make in real life! (not that i want to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

ok ok i can wait..but i still know that you wont fix the lockpick problem!!!
cause there is no need for lockpick in the game..every locked chest has a key!!

The patch is currently being tested. When we are happy with the results, we will release the file. It can't take that long anymore. And the lockpick skill has been fixed.

Lockpick does not work, and will not open locked chests or doors. As of the 1.45 patch, though, there are only a handful of locked chests that do not have a key.

Any clue when there will be a patch to fix that issue?
That sounds like a major gameplay issue.

The patch that fixes Lockpick is currently being tested, but there has been no mention of a release date. Lack of this skill causes a problem for people wanting to be thief-like, but with few unlockable chests it really doesn't have much of an impact. Presumably when the skill is fixed more chests/doors will be locked, so there will be some benefit for learning it.

I wonder when Larians will release it -- or if they'd release a BETA Patch Version publicly for players to try.

well, personally I believe that releasing a beta-patch is just a new mood - many developers comply to that mood, but since it's still beta, I wouldn't expect too much from that - or even worse Beta always means much less stability - wghich many people seem to "forget".

Usually if the Beta goes well, that could become the next patch, right?

BETA's wont go very well. Not with the amount of obstacles caused by starforce. Larian by now KNOW exactly what those obstacles are, and they can test it better than any of us for stability with starforce.

If it wasnt for that, i am sure that they could have released a "Beta", though i suspect they wouldnt... as i recall most of the fans' complaining were somehow related to the general feel that the game was released while it was still in "Beta" (testing) phase.

I think the waiting will be worthwhile. As we have seen in the past, Larian knows very well how to make brilliant games.

it's great to have keys for the chests,
i would prefer keys to lockpick skill
even though sometimes lockpick skill may come handy
i still believe this is not a major issue
i would choose to be a mage in this game
so lockpick is not that vital a problem <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
