The cop lady that locks herself in the room. The one where you have to convince her to leave town etc. Is there any way into her room. Without hacking the door. Because I didn't want to bother learning hacking in my first play. But was forced too. Especally when I had max strength. I should be able to rip the door off. But the hack door only lets one skill. Which is dumb.
I had a mission like this, I had to get in a room that was locked up tight. I did not have the strength to force it open nor the TEC to "Pick" the door locks. And this corner apartment was WAY up at the top of a tall building so I could not find any Parkour way into the room. Knocking on the door there was no dialog to trick my way in. They just told me to get lost.
I was very pleased to figure out that I was able to use distract enemy quick hack to make the NPC come out to investigate why the equipment next to his room was freaking out! When he opened the door to investigate I charged into the room guns a blazing!
Default hack ? I did not invest any effort into hacking at that time so I assumed this came from Vic at the start of the game? I do not remember...
So It turned out after searching the room very thoroughly there WAS actually a Parkour way in, but it was very difficult to spot that from where I was inside the building at the start of this encounter.
However what this made me realize was there were enough interacting game systems here to skin a cat in ways the DEV did not intend, as well as the various ways the DEV INTENDED you to skin the cats.
I was excited to use this trick again but there was never any other situation where the equipment needed to be hacked was close enough to the door of a mission where the door was locked with people inside. So I am fairly confident this was serendipity not planned by the DEV.
That is one of the big reasons I love games like this rather than the "must be done our way" games before open world. This (many interacting systems so layered on each other that even the DEV will not know everything) is both the magic and the mayhem as it can also be the source of bugs in the game.
