Usually i don't like when you open a secret cache (panels, paintings, etc) but you can't close it back.

I hate when a room has no light switch and it is not possible to switch on/off the light from a lamp. Also, I don't like when there are lighted torches in places like ancient temples, caves, when, they are supposedly abandoned since a looooong time.

I'm sorry to drag this up again, but is there any reason to have un-openable doors, beyond engine limitations? I mean, if there's no real door there, can't it just be a wall? Or whatever.

The simple reason is that non-openable doors make the world seem bigger than it really is.
I also use handle-less doors to signify that a door is just decor and not a real door. A good way to communicate the fact that a particular unfrobbable door is a door that can actually be operated with a switch is to simply carve a small window or opening close to it revealing a room beyond; it's even better if you put some pickable item in plain view as well, such as loot, so players know that there is a way beyond that door and it's not just decoration.

I don't know. I suppose, it depends on the person, but for me fake doors are in general kind of immersion-breaking. I mean, a rather tertiary factor, but still. And you're not going to fool me with the size of the world if I don't believe in its authenticity.

I plan on making the door unfrobble so you know right away it would work but there is a reason why you can't go in there. Also if you sneak there, there may be a nice touch there that you can interact with. Can be loot or story supporting objects ie a water pump that shoots out black sludge near the front door. A readble later might talk about how this came to be, when also talks about what's going on in the city over all. If there is a out of reach door, it will look good like the "false" windows do, but it may be just a texture, not a awful flat (as in low quality) texture. Yay I can has good looking doors so long as it's plotted out well.

That's exactly the same thing with windows.

It's not necessarily just size of the world, but also for realism. If you climb into a bedroom from the outside, and there's no door in the room, it's kind of a glaring thing. You wonder how people normally access the area.

I hate it when you have a loot goal and find the exit but cannot go back to look for a sufficient amount of da lewtz because the way back is BLOCKED! IT IS BLOCKED!!! Looking at you lost crusade and death's turbid veil!!!
