Well...SIR!?! Has anyone figured a way to tell time in-game? (As opposed to trial and error of attempting to open a door..) I'm trying to get into the bankers house for a second time in order to fullfill a side-quest of sorts, [SPOILER]'impressing some putty with the key to rob the bank'[/SPOILER] but he has been caged in his bank for ages and his door can not be picked apparently. I've been checking every time I return to Arx from other areas for about half of the game to no avail. Any hints/suggestions?

Time seems to be a scripted event, based on how far you are in the plot. Stores seem to be closed when the devs want to force you to talk to the king.

Thanks, I was able to pick the lock under the bless-spell, with around 80% lockpick skill. Time being scripted and non-respawning store supplies aside this game is fantastic.
