I've always assumed that an Open Lock spell of some sort would be included in Alteration, but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere yet

I'm extremely keen not to have to perk up on lockpicking, so does anyone know if we'll have the Open spell again?

Thanks!

I hope so.

Perks arent exactly enough that I can afford losing some in lockpicking, i'd rather spend it on a school of magic or something else. (Since I already plan on taking alteration that would be great if It did have a open spell)

I'm hoping for this as well. My build is depending on it.

I'm forgoing leveling up lockpicking, tho if there is no open spell I may have to.

there have been other posts concerning this question.

maybe searching will turn up the answer, I wish I knew, sorry

One guy on the forum was pretty confident in saying that it was in. As in, he assured us he wasn't speculating and had seen it.

Good, however if it isnt it doesnt matter. I'm -pretty sure- some mod would be created for it anyway then. x3
