If I can’t open it, don’t make it look like a door I can open.

Walking down a corridor actioning doors I can’t open because sometimes I can is not a valuable use of my time.

True, that game worlds are finite… but, look at Morrowind 2. Its game world was ~63,000sq. MILES. Finite, but it’s still going to take you forever just to get to that next village, without locked doors.

In my own personal opion I too hate locked doors. I’m a Half-Life 2 fan and a fan a valve games in general. Valve seems to LOVE to put in useless locked doors , that no matter what you do, you cant open them. They put a bit in Portal and they over loaded Half-Life 2 with them. I personaly think locked doors are just a game designers way of saying “fuck you I didnt have time to actualy desighn a door that is actualy a part of the game, instead I put a door that youll spend forever trying to figure out were it goes then you finaly figure out you have to figure out a new way! muahaha!” lol..they also like to put bottomless/really deep airvents were you have NO clue were your going becuase its dark as hell and then you end up falling and killing yourself..yeah hate those things too -_-..but i still love half-life to death though. I do agree with alot of people that are posting about half-life 2, i agree that no doors would make the city less…city-like..and if there were more open doors there be more paths..and well half-life and half-life 2 are both in genral just a HUGE maze game espeshly when in comes to crawling through airvents..it takes 45 minuets to figure out the pathways through the airvents..i would rather not spend 5 hours figuring out which way to go(which in some chapters I do have to do some re-thinking on were exactly im going lol)

I’m just waiting for some security door company to buy branding rights on in-game doors (and in many cases windows)

B, a million times B. I dont care how unlikely my shot of survival is i will dodge every attack and headshot the boss a thousand times with my crappy starter pistol if necessary. The freedom attached to exploring worlds on your own, going so far as breaking down doors instead of finding the necessary keys, would be epic. Although there should be some incentive for finding keys, idk the keys are on npcs with kick ass weaponry or some such, exp rewards, etc.

If you are in uncomfortable position and have no money to move out from that point, you will need to receive the business loans. Just because that would aid you emphatically. I get short term loan every single year and feel good just because of that.

Oh how you speak the words of my own heart lol. I so hate those doors that i long so much to get behind but can never achieve my goal.Especially if you need something important and you know it’s behind a locked door so you send hours trying to get behind that one locked door that you can never get behind.Although i do love the picture of the bathroom in megaton.Easy to get into but who wants to get into a bathroom unless it’s silent hill lol

God I hate those things. Frakking invisible walls and locked doors. They should just make a door that was able to open but there’s a cliff after that! Same for invisible wall. So at least we have something to entertain ourselves and remember not to go there.

Jesus, I was just thinking how bad I hate those fuckers yesterday. Defies all fucking logic that I can’t break down a wood door with a grenade launcher. I could take out a fucking building with a grenade launcher!! It’s bullshit. My sentiments exactly, locked door I hate you!!
