There are points on some chests where if you don’t start moving the cursor the immediately when you press D the lockpick instantly breaks and my timing isn’t that awful so something is kind of obviously weird about the the windows and safe zones. I think in the end whatever way in which the lock pick loses durability has way too many 100% damage events and not enough visual or audio cues to let you know you’re damaging the lock pick. Monastery doors were a good example of that to me. You’ll break a ton and then suddenly do it perfectly. I think the real issue is that the dead zone is way too small especially on harder chests. Though even on computer I feel like it’s very janky it feels like the dead zone will lag behind or get ahead of where it should be which involves you kind of randomly moving your mouse to find it again which causes that weird thing where the cursor keeps blinking in and out of the sweet spot and then the lock unlocks.Īlso I’m not sure if the way the cursor jitters during the minigame is intended or not but it’s definitely weird and kind of distracting. On console it’s tough because it’s just obviously designed to be done with a mouse and you’re not going to get that same kind of control with your thumb stuck. No he’s just trying a lock that is “too difficult” BUT I think there is a real problem with lock picking right now.
