[General] All locked doors
They're all over the place. Is there any way to get into them?

Usually, yes. Many locked doors will open at appropriate points in the plot...just be patient and you'll get to see what's inside.Jeffrolicious said:They're all over the place. Is there any way to get into them?
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you meant the house doors. The doors to the sheds or barns or whatever those outbuildings are don't open. And no, Geralt never returns to the Outskirts.Jeffrolicious said:Nah, this is my 3rd time through act 1. I'm talking about all the outside doors next to the houses. Theres probably 20 of them throught the outskirts.Havnt finished the game in awhile though, Geralt never goes back to the Outskirts of Vizima does he?
I think it is enough to deduce that at least some part of a residents establishment should remain a secret? I mean, Geralt, if you think about it, is a complete violator of a person's privacy. He just waltzes in and out of every house, home and cave he finds and loots and pillages it like a Pirate of the Caribbean! He has NO shame, shameless!! ;DI guess it is one way to explain why there are some locked doors... It is so that inhabitant present or gone can have some dignity of storing precious goods from pirates like him; hehePetraSilie said:I think the devs made to keep the game a bit suspenseful. In many cases a locked door indeed has an importance and Geralt has to find out. In some case it's just a mysterious locked door which should keep us to puzzle over it... is it just decoration or does it have a meaning? :hmmm:
Everyone benefits when Geralt kills the monsters in the vicinity -- those in monstrous or human form -- but he only gets paid if he has a contract. I figure his taking a bottle of booze and a hunk of cheese from a house is a "witcher tax," paid for the benefit the residents derive from his keeping them from being killed (and, in the Outskirts, his keeping their daughters from being raped by hoodlums and their little kids from being taken as tribute by Salamandra).56236 said:I mean, Geralt, if you think about it, is a complete violator of a person's privacy.

Or scabbed freak as he mentioned to Gramp's in the swamp.PetraSilie said:Witcher tax? ;D Seems it's a question of interpretation. I don't the impression that the poeple are thankful and welcome him because he disenthralls them from nasty monsters. Far from it, they consider him as scum
I don't think anyone, and I do mean 'anyone', would welcome a stranger to scurry around in their place like that. Even if they let him stay a night, I don't think they would appreciate him ransacking the place in an instant just for his own personal gain. And, you also talk about him helping resident's with problems... he didn't even meet the people and he's in the progress of daylight robbery.Seriously now, no-one would appreciate his thievery even when he saved them from a beast, or saved their daughter from rape (and for what? so he can pleasure himself with her instead?) or saved their children from kidnappers, you name it... no one will fall for his foot-foot nonsense.Witcher's, according to Julian, are supposed to be honourable, decent men who abide by man's law or, in a shortened version, the law of the silver penny. (or was it a dime? :hmmmPetraSilie said:Everyone benefits when Geralt kills the monsters in the vicinity -- those in monstrous or human form -- but he only gets paid if he has a contract.
