Hi everyone! My first post in here.
My question is about TDS goldsmith chest lock. I couldn't open it, no matter how hard to try. I wonder, this is a different lock or I have a problem?

Are you picking with keyboard or mouse? Unless it's a bug, you will need to use the mouse moving slowly in wide circles.
If this doesn't sound right, describe exactly what's happening.

It's been a while since I played TDS. But I will try to describe as I remember:
First of all, that lock was absolutely different than others. I started to pick and outer circle started to turn. But not like other locks, it started to turn around its own axis, then slowly disappeared. Same thing to other circles. At last there was just inner circle. But nothing happened. I tried again and again, same thing.
(By the way, it's good to see you jtr7 ;) )

Heh. Yeah, it amused me to see you here to ask this instead of at Eidos, and to have me be the first to respond to you. :thumb:
So the innermost ring did not react. That sounds like a glitch, but maybe someone else has experienced it here. I certainly wouldn't want you to have to start over just to see if it keeps doing it.

Hehe. Yes. Is this fate? Hehehe. :cheeky:
I guess this is a glitch. And what a glitch. I thought it was a different lock because it was goldsmith's chest. But maybe it was really different? ;) When I play TDS again (I don't know when but I will play before Thief IV.) I will try to record and show you. (If it happens again, of course.)
Take care.

Good luck! (Or should I say a bad pun: "Good LOCK!")

This lock gave me some grief too, it's a trick lock which requires you to pick from odd angles which you can't hit with the keyboard. You have to position your picks with the mouse to pick it.

Haha. Thanks. I like it, that was not bad.

I will try. Thanks.
