Just went with an extremely simple lockpicking minigame lifted from the Gothic series, where you press left/right in the correct sequence. Got a randomized sequence based on object and map ID numbers, so each lock is the same sequence every time you try. Done with minigames for now, but I plan to make one more for gambling sometime in the future.
This week, I'm gonna do evasion animations and add another couple maps and quests to the first two chapters. Then, I will finally playtest the first 3 chapters myself. Then I'll do a Brigand patch in time for the anniversary in July, then start on Warlord Ch.4.
Complete list of changes:
-New minigame: Lockpicking ("if_minigame3").
-Implemented locking minigame in door and chest scripts.
-Improved Party AI indicator in HUD (only displays when game is paused, top-right corner).
-Improved playing instruments for gratuity (now shows who gives you coins, 50 times/chapter limit).
-Booleans that check if objects are nearby now measure from parent if object is being carried.
-Changed "musicString" command to "minigameString" (also used for lockpicking).
-New "seed" parameter for "minigameString" (random lock based on object ID).
-Unlocking doors now also unlocks any adjacent door (for double doors).
-Temp.par party file is now hidden from import party list.

The Viridi Republic fell quickly and unexpectedly with the mysterious death of the First Man. The great houses spiraled into an orgy of violence, Salvio "the Scorcher" Tevani burning all the crops and dwellings he passed during his exodus from the city of Jadenbury. House Mesali managed to subdue the other noble families and entered into a trembling alliance behind the capital’s walls.
Other warlords have emerged from the smoldering ruins of the republic, and others still wait like vultures on the borderlands: the Bearded Bandits of the Lorntops, the all-female Third Moon Pirates that smuggle the addictive drug known as moonlight across the Southern Sea, the porcine krugen tribes of the Dead Steppes, the quick reptilian troglodytes of the arid eastern badlands, and the expansive slave-trading Izar Empire that spans two continents.
The town of Lockdell is perched atop the cliffs of southwestern Orinia, patiently overlooking the waves. It is here that Salvio the Scorcher is raising a militia to retake Jadenbury from Andresi Mesali. You just so happen to be one of Salvio’s selfless "volunteers".
