    Title: Locked door feedback message should indicate the correct sequence to open a door.

    Details: When the player tries to open a locked door, the following message is displayed:

    This door is locked! You will need to find a key to open it. Use the key on the nearby lock to unlock this door.

    This can be a bit confusing for new players, as the actual way to open a locked door is to use a key on the Key Hole (not a lock).

    The feedback message could possibly be set to something like this (and also probably could specify you need a specific key):

    This door is locked! You will need to find a specific key to open it. Use the key on the nearby key hole to unlock this door.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Go to the location stated below. Click on the door here (when locked), and observe the locked door feedback message. Move mouse over the key hole, note the text key hole comes up over the mouse. See feedback message mention using a key on the lock.

    Also, perhaps the key hole could do that blue glowey thing - at least at low character levels. I remember that being a bit of a puzzle for me on the first few locked doors - "where is the key hole?"

    The blue glowing thing does happen in two of the Battle of scenes. Provided players actually go in there.
