If you kick a door in via kicking the area around the handle, that would cause less force to be needed and thus create less noise. If you bash it in towards the middle, however, the force of your bash/kick would spread throughout the door, causing more force to be needed and more noise to be made.

That's really not what's even being discussed in the thread though- we're talking someone looking around and then the door automagically makes less noise because "Golly gee Homiejoe, you 'dun did a good emote I reckon".

 

Also your scenario is flawed as it would pretty much still make the same amount of noise and I am fairly certain that people have limited ability to control the amount of force to that fine of a level. Breaking down doors is pretty hard and will often take more than one attempt due to the required roll.

I can imagine that if you emoted *looks around then busts open the door*, you'd get the same response from the gm as you would with *busts open the door.* They just want you to make more detailed emotes, and they're not that hard to make. You're bitching about something that isn't worth bitching about. Just do your shitty three word emote and suffer the consequences if you're feeling that lazy.

One medium kick to the lock makes less noise than three strong kicks to the middle of the door. There's also this crazy thing called kicking softer which, surprisingly, affects the amount of force applied to the door.

It's actually a lot easier to break down a door than lotc makes it to be. The 17+ roll is fairly ridiculous.

Longer emotes don't mean better roleplay. For best results, just have an obnoxiously long emote ready to copy and paste whenever you want to break in.
