Give us a lock option on deconstruction screen

Berenhir

Zenimax,

all the requests, pleas, appeals and demands can wait.

Please just implement a lock option for items on the deconstruction screen at the crafting station.

I beg you!

I'm so confused right now.

There is a lock option in game so you can't deconstruct items.

I thought you could lock items from the decon window, but I may be wrong on that. Is that what you're begging for?

Wait...there is?

I concur; it's irritating that I have to leave the decon screen, re-locate the thing I want to lock, lock it, then go BACK to deconning when it seems like I should be able to accomplish the same thing with right click -> lock.

Do you mean an unlock option?

And why would you lock gear you want to decon?

@ShadowMage Yeah they added it in a major patch awhile ago. I think Thieves guild or Dark brotherhood? If on PC just right click on the item and select lock. On console it's whatever button would bring up the option list that has "delete item, charge item" etc. bring that menu up (I think it's triangle) and select lock.

Because locking your items in the inventory screen is too difficult?

Ah, cool. So it is a new thing since I left a while ago. Good to know. Been in the unfortunate situation where I've deconned something I'd meant to keep...

No I mean a lock option. An unlock option cant be implemented as you can't see locked stuff anyway.

Example:

I have farmed for new sets for an hour and now have 120 armor and weapon items in my bag. I walk up to the crafting station and decon 115 of them because they have useless traits, are no set items or are from a useless set that doesnt sell (or a combination of those factors).

Why can't I lock those I don't want to deconstruct while deconstructing the others? I always have to scan everything I have beforehand, then lock three items and then go ahead with deconstructing the rest. As I am lazy I usually end up accidentially deconstructing stuff I wanted to keep while rapidly deconstructing those hundreds of items (e.g. when the cursor jumps because the scroll bar on the right disappears etc.).

So requests, pleas, appeals and demands can wait but your begging deserves priority attention.

Joking aside, while it would be nice, since we are not directly accessing our inventory or bank it is probably not an easy code change to bring this about.

You should've already locked it prior to reaching a decon screen because you lock them when you view them. You should lock from inventory not from and Decon screen as the decon screen doesn't show all the details the inventory does.

Yeah, they really need to be able to lock stuff on both the decon and research pages, so that when you see something you want to keep, you can do it right then.

They have the LOCK icon, so another question is why can't we see the locked items and be allowed to UNLOCK them, in addition to what you are asking for. It is just as annoying, especially during decon and research.
