    If you want to pass a door and have no lock pick and its locked or jammed. Trow something on the door and your party starts to attack the door and the door will be destroyed. Thier weapons will be damaged so give them bad weapons. I passed some doors like that, in the temple in Caradon (the magiced doors) when there was locked.

    And i found something else too. In voridon (or how to spell it) theres a orge who wants to help you to find the stone to the altar. when complete that and you talk to him agin he still wants to follow you to find the stone. so I have him in my party.

    Thats the hard way to smash something, just go into combat mode and hold down Alt, then you can attack doors, chests, etc.

    You can also use bombs, guns, throwing weapons, and spells to brake down doors without damaging your wares. Unless you’re a master of repair then who cares if you damage your stuff.

    My favorite weapon for the job is a time bomb. They allow you to destroy the object/person and nobody cares.

    Yes, but I don't think you can do it to the safe in the Shrouded Hills bank.

    I couldn't destroy the safe of the Wolf Cave. Tough luck.

    Anyway, what's the purpose of this thread, I wonder? Did anyone ask for it?

    There's a safe in Wolf Cave? :eek:mfg:

    He just discovered something and felt we could all benefit from his wisdom and experience.

    Don't bother; it's not there. Make Bun-Bun work and post a screenshot for us.

    Or if you're feeling really adventurous, I found a really cool safe with megaloot in the dungeon of the Ancient Maze, guarded by a very young and very impaled Tim Cain. Go find it, Baal. Shoo.

    Arcanum improved, then?
    And aren't yours four words, actually?

    I FOUND A BUG :). You know the man who gives you the quest to looks what is killing thier rabbits (in canadon)... And in wastes, the city you can buy cure for warewolfes for 2000 and when you give it to the man he will pay your 1000 gold and you gets a fate point. Pick pocket it back and give the cure to him agin, +1000 gold and a point agin.

    Interesting... might come in handy. Burn a fatepoint and get it replaced for an infinite supply of gold. :)

    Shouldn't he run out of money though?

    You may have a point there. But I thought that clitics are words, whether they're bound or free.
    (But I can't say I'm positive about it since I'm not a native speaker.)

    A contraction is considered one word.

    It is not. "That's not Arcanum" consists of FOUR words. "That's" is not a word (look it up in a dictionary, if you don't believe me). "'s" is the contracted form of the verb "to be" (third person singular), but it is - nevertheless - a word. A grammatical analysis of the sentence will give you the same result: FOUR words, not three. :p

    I just have to love you, not for showing that I could be right, but for being so assertive. Forever indebted to you, floyd.

    Grammatical analyses of sentence structure often take into account words that are not there, but implied; that is, ellipses. However, when doing a pointless word count do you include the implied yet missing words? No, you do not, and if you do you're being more anal than I am.

    Contractions such as "that's" are single words, and both of you can kiss my English grammmar nazi ass.
