Why are doors in video games so annoying?
Take fallout. You're a walking tank with a nuke thrower but you can bust down a 200 year old wood door? Or ES. You're a a battle mage sling fireballs everywhere but you can't blast a door?
No; you have to play find the key or worse play a "mini-game" to try to pick the lock.
The solutions is to give the player options. Shoot/blow the lock off with a suitable penalty of alerting all the NPCs in the area. Instead of a minigame base opening on the character (or party) relevant skill; if you have the prereq it opens if you
don't it doesn't.
