Description

With Lockpicking Overhaul, you can instantly unlock and open locked doors and stashes at your Lockpicking skill level, and attempt more difficult locks through the minigame.

Installation

  1. Download the file.
  2. Navigate to wherever you installed the game.
  3. Create a Mods folder in the game's root path. It should be at the same level as Data, Engine, Localization, etc.
  4. Extract the contents of the ZIP file into your Mods folder.
  5. Play the game.

Usage

  • Pick locks as normal.
  • If you have the requisite skill and lockpicks, locked doors and stashes will simply unlock and open.
  • If you encounter a more difficult lock, you can attempt to pick that lock through the minigame.

XP Rewards

In KCD2, the former "Lockpicking" skill is now named "Thievery." Lockpicking rewards stat and skill XP as follows:

  • If your Thievery skill is not capped, you will receive XP according to the formula detailed below.
  • If your Stealth skill is not capped, you will receive XP according to the RPG parameter RPG.LockPickingStealthXP.
  • If your Agility stat is not capped, you will receive XP according to the RPG parameter RPG.LockPickingAgilityXP</code.

Thievery XP Formula

Warhorse developer "Bart" provided me with this XP formula in the days following the release of KCD1. If KCD2 is any different, you probably won't notice.

XP = RPG.LockPickingSuccessXPMulCoef * (lockDiff + 1) / (RPG.LockPickingSuccessXPDivCoef * skillLvl + 1)

Remember Searched

When stashes are opened, they are marked as searched in the UI. Translations have been provided (via Google Translate) for all KCD2 languages.
