This occured just after before completing the quest "That Lucky Old Sun" I believe the point at which the bug occured was just before I decided what I should give power too, mainly because I wanted to see what the laser looked like when you decide to fire it... but I then reloaded.

At this point when I went to access the terminal, there was a short freeze. I was however able to back out into the main game (pressing circle). I then went back into the terminal and selected Full Coverage (the one where you give power to everyone).

However... ever since then, whenever I go to lockpick ANY door the following happens.

As you can see, the game loads up the lockpick screen, as evidenced by the scredriver just on the right, turning the stick or doing any of the normal commands proves it's working as the correct SFX plays.

However, call me crazy... but I don't think a blacked out monitor screen should appear in front of the lock? Because that makes unlocking not very easy, despite it being a VERY EASY lock to open?

Whilst it's possible to unlock the door (amazingly I did it). what I struggle to comprehend is how this will affect future lockpick actions? Oh wait... it'll make it impossible since you need to see where you've got the bobby pin... yes thats right.

And no... reloading did not help.

Of course, we all know that the likehood of this glitch getting fixed is what? probably less than the percentage of the odds of me forcing that lock open in the screenshot... would that be a safe bet?

Edit: If there is only one saving grace. The bug does not cross over/infect previous save files. I can still see the lockpick in save files prior to this issue, but based on when my last save was, I'm pretty certain this has occured to to the odd freeze when I attempted to use the terminal in the power plant.

It would only get fixed if everybody had the issue, but a lot of bugs get missed by a lot of people due to luck.
