Tenderfoot Thahd MrBackAlleySka Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hey all. I have been playing the Exile games for some time now, and had only recentely bought the Avernum games. I noticed one thing, that you can double-rightclick the doors, to close them again. Does this have any use for theft and such? n Exile, you couldn't reclose doors, and theft just had to be far enough away from someone. It seems like if you steal something in a room with a closed door, your chances of being caught would be less, but does this happen? Or is closing doors just to make everything seem more realistic?

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 You have to be seen in order to be caught. If there's no one in the room with you and the door is closed, you can steal at will. Watch out for specials and guardians, though — save first.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Yes, and closing doors can also make the room full of enemies behind said door completely forget about you. It's amazing, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I thought in A1 and A2 at least — and possibly A3 but I don't think I ever tried it — the hostile monsters were able to open doors if they had seen you and if you were within a reasonable distance from them.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Usually they won't notice, but yes, occasionally they will remember how to use the doorknob. I find it most effective to close the door, haste everyone, and run like mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 If they see you, they'll go through doors to get to you. Opening a door isn't an action, though, so if you open one and see a bunch of enemies, immediately closing the door often means they'll still just stand around and wait for you to cast Beast Ceremony and use the combat-wait-attack trick. —Alorael, who believes doors were closable in Exile as well as Avernum. If you look at a door adjacent to a party member (the active one in Exile), the door opens or closes. E1 didn't have openable or closable doors.

Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 In Exile, you can 'Use' doors to close them. Monsters can open unlocked doors to come get you if they've seen you beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I swear in BoE a monster came through an imprenetrable door to get me. I don't remember how or why, but I distinctly remember the door opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember how or why, but I distinctly remember the door opening. It was probably a door with a Can't Enter node placed on it, not a real impenetrable door. Monsters can't open locked doors.
