Question about "door bashing"

[Maethius]

Back in the day in the city there was a common skill that sneaksie peoples rarely used on locked doors... but it was often a good option. Did any of you ever "door bash" to enter certain doors that were locked but didn't respond to lock picks? You could do a few overhead blows with your sword and *CRACK!* the door would swing open.

 

Not very ghost-like, but handy! Any chance of this being brought into TDM?

It should be posebel to incorporate in a misson if the author want´s too

I've never been in favour of it, personally. Bashing a door open with a short sword is quite ridiculous to anyone who has ever held a real sword before.

[Nielsen74]

but not impossible or ??? I hav never usede a real sword!

You'd have far better luck using a baseball bat.

You'd have far better luck using a baseball bat.

Or your foot.

[Komag]

Yes, definitely the foot. I've kicked in a couple of locked doors and I can't imagine the waste of time it would have been getting them open with a sword

[demagogue]

On that note, you'll all be happy to know that I ripped a nice "door kicked in" bam! from YouTube that I used in my FM; it's there in the "Sound" folder.

[Diego]

Foot or shoulder to open the door.. but you can use the sword to stratch it, though! Maybe even remove the painting

[swordbreaker]

 

like this?

[Komag]

YES!

[stumpy]

you could use the hilt of a sword to smash the lock, special those with big pomels on the end, the sharp bit you wouldn't use cos you could bend it or make it go blunt, an ax would be better to open a door with or those spikey maces, or maybe a widowmaker would do, you could open a door with a widowmaker, if you could chop someone in half with them (groin up), then that would open a door, but a thief wouldn't carry one around with them, just too big.

Yeah, my point was that even a baseball bat is not very effective for breaking open a door, and it's much better at it than a sword. A sword might very easily cut through wooden boards--if they were stretched horizontally across two sawhorses. But trying to swing a sword at a vertical target with walls surrounding it on all sides is useless--the only thing that will connect is the tip of the sword.

[Maethius]

Kicking would be much cooler... still not exactly stealthy, but perhaps a nice way to get that extra ring for 50 gold that's inside a bonus house all boarded up and keyless. Give up stealth for the perfect loot score.

 

And, yeah, I'm pretty handy with a sword, and couldn't imagine trying to bash a jewelry box open with it, let alone a door!

[Nielsen74]

so all you swordwilding wise guys, are you going to make a doorkicking animation for the mod then? the point is that swordbashing IS possible to incorporate in a misson with TDM as is

[Neb]

Instead of having to bash open doors that don't respond to lockpicks, I'd prefer that mission authors use them sparingly and only when the flow of a mission requires it.

 

If there were bashable doors then there would have to be unbashable door args too. Sounds more trouble than it's worth to me.

 

 

[Nielsen74]

in T2 you can´t bash metal doors! and as TDM is now you´d hav to make a door bashable as the doors by defult can´t be bashde

[Serpentine]

Bashable doors... no thanks :|
