For a game focused on realism, new movies on netflix I have no idea why you can’t just bash locked 123 movies chests open with your axe or mace. movies Or even just pick up a box and bring it to a lockpicker. This minigame seems badly thought out.
With practice it’s not that hard to open locks with a controller at least for me, maces and axes would defeat the purpose of lockpicking in the game and realistically in some occasions would alert everyone in a small radius because smashing locks with a mace would be loud. There is no lockpickers in the game but the millers could probably do it.
