Darkwater Docks Locked Door?

[Gelbs]

Near the statue of St. Brendan, there's a locked door I tried lockpicking but the pick broke. Can I somehow open it later on? Curious as to what was inside it. I also broke the winch and had to get Cat to help me into the warehouse.

You need a higher Investigation skill for the picked lock.
You need a higher Strength skill for the winch.
My experience so far is that if you fail at something you cannot try it again.

[Gelbs]

What I thought. Just wanted to check. So I still can get in later on?

[Brother Pedro]

Get in to the shack? No.

[Sir Commandant]

you'll eventually come back to docks at some point in the game try to do it when you're there i personally forgot the shack due to the situation i was dealing with...

[Gelbs]

What's in the shack anyway?

You needed to dump ur CP into investigation at start of game

[Gelbs]

CP? What was in shack?

[ShadyZonks]

some booze to bribe the drunkards to distract the bootleggers

[Gelbs]

Ah. Nothing important then. Bought it instead.

You need to remember that what you are doing are skill checks, much like the CoC pen & paper RPG, which this is based on. In the game, if you failed a check, your DM/GM would not allow you to just keep retrying until you succeeded as that would ruin the fun, and the point of the skill check. you put your CP in to skills, and need to play to your characters strengths as you build him to progress and pass these checks.

How do I get drink to deal with the bootleggers. The barman will not sell me one?

right. some checks go for a success, others go for a failure. then it is normal not to be able to see every single aspect (like closed doors). for this reason the game saves after this checks, so you can't go back. tough but fair.
