Starfield Players Discover Hidden NPC Manipulation Ability to Unlock Safes

Starfield player discovers you can manipulate NPCs to open locked safes after acquiring the manipulation skill from a Ryujin Industries questline mission.

Manipulation skill lets you get NPCs to interact with objects for you, including opening safes, saving you from having to use lockpicks.

Reddit user Sea-Charge-3132 posted about this hidden ability, getting over 6,000 upvotes from players who didn't know about it.

The manipulation skill is easy to miss since the Ryujin Industries questline is optional side content, not part of the main story.

A new Starfield update added a FOV slider and fixed stability issues, with full patch notes on Bethesda's website.
