Can I use my torch and lockpick now?

Question Title: Can I use my torch and lockpick now?
Category: Dungeons
Question: Will we be seeing any dungeons where lockpick and or lighting provided by players are a necessity anytime soon? Lots of locked doors and chest too. Not just a single locked door. Maybe part of the much needed staff or spear quests. Getting bored of smiting bunnies with my torch and opening doors in subway for travelers.

Answer: Yes and no.

I know letoile always likes putting in locked, but pickable doors into his dungeons, so there is always a slowly trickling number of locked doors into the game.

There will not however be any "dark" dungeons where a torch is required. This is simply because a dark dungeon on one person's system is not on another's. By playing with brightness and gamma settings, a user can effectivly light a dungeon without the help of torches.
