Yeah, there was a discussion about this in at least one other thread - I totally agree, and had some of the same ideas. At this point I'm just going to wait and see how Larian deals with the whole Repair mechanic in future updates - I have a feeling there are enough suggestions on the forums to make them want to do something about it (along with the whole "lockpicking vs. simply fireballing every door/chest" issue).
