Which games have the best Lockpicking mechanics?
oblivion, no contest

Is that chain taped to the lock?
The Dark Mod

Holy shit that webm looks terrible, like it's a fucking gif or something.

the character already knows how to fucking pick locks

what gave it away?
the watermark on the top right?
>>318184303
Didn't even see that, I only noticed the framerate. Why the fuck is it a webm now then? Why downgrade it?
>>318184397

original file might have been greater than allowed. So someone converted it.

Oblivion's was pretty good. I used to do this pausing trick when I was younger to do the lockpicking, but I forgot how to do it and actually played the mini game. It was pretty cool, actually. A bit challenging at first, but pretty easy to get the hang of and felt good when you picked a lock without losing any lockpicks.

So, you just downgrade shit because there's a chance it had a larger than allowed filesize? That's fucking retarded you know.
bioshock 1
>>318184719
Who cares, you fucking autist?
>>318184719
what?
what chance?
If the file was too big then it was converted
that's it, no chance
the fuck are you talking about
>>318183459
The lock is so long you can just pull the door handle thing without opening the lock.
The chain doesn't serve a purpose here

It was said they converted it because it might have been greater than allowed. Not because it was greater than allowed. That chance.
>If the file was too big then it was converted
>that's it, no chance
Okay, then why was it converted? How do you know it had a greater filesize?
>>318184719
The fuck are you talking about? It was a gif too big, so he made a webm of it. The quality is the same as the original gif, what downgrade are you talking about
Any game that freezes time while you pick the lock should be invalidated.
Most minigames are stupid as hell, too. I'd rather it just be an automated process that takes a couple seconds while you look over your shoulder for any guards coming by who may spot you.

>The quality is the same as the original gif
It's a webm compressed with the VP8 codec. That's lossy compression. Unlike .gif compression which is lossless. It's not the same, it's lossy.

I never saw why people hated Oblivions lockpicking mechanic.
For me, I really liked how even people with low security skill could still pick any lock, its just was unlikely for you to do because of the way in which the locks actually worked. Skyrim meanwhile you basically had F3/FNV style lockpicking, which forces you out of being able to pick higher locks to make things artificially more difficult.
Saying that, the fact that Bethesda didn't bother adding a different texture for different doors/chests so in essence doors in Chorrol have the same locks as Ayleid tombs made it feel rather stupid. That and the skeleton key made security entirely pointless.

Learn to lockpick. The correct picking method falls at a certain rate and you can do it pretty much regardless of your skill.
>>318184858
I've been trying to find a copy of pipedream ever since I played that in bioshock....
>>318186197
It wasn't a complaint. High security negated the chance of you failing the prongs and having them all reset, as well strengthening your lockpicks.
All I'm saying it's theoretically harder for low security players to pick hard/very hard locks. Even though yes there is a method ( listen to the sound of each prong etc ).
>>318185045
Yeah I get that. But it looks like the last link of the chain is taped to the lock instead of taking the lock through the chain.

Could be welded on.

there's no chance about it
either it was or it wasn't
>because there's a chance it had a larger than allowed filesize?
your previous post implied it was converted before an upload was even attempted
>chance

you're retarded anon

I'm not the one that said might. Might means there's a chance.
>your previous post implied it was converted before an upload was even attempted
How?
You're now implying the it wasn't converted before trying an upload though, which I don't see why you'd think that either.
