Real-time lockpicking

Post » Sun Dec 16, 2012 7:45 am

Hi, I am looking for a mod which does this or for some feedback about the idea-

I have been thinking that it would be very interesting to have lockpicking as a real-time action instead of a paused mini-game (the thrill of lockpicking a door before that guard comes back! And it would also make the whole lockpicking perk tree more meaningful, because, seriously, who has ever put perk points in there?).

Likewise, I also thought that reading would be more interesting if it happened in real-time instead of pausing everything (for example to wait for magicka to regenerate, in combination to ScenicCarriages mod, etc). Plenty of books I would like to read if only it wouldn't stop everything.

I have a very limited experience with modding, but from my ignorance, it would seem to me that making both lockpicking and reading real-time shouldn't be too difficult since enchanting and alchemy already are real-time. So my question would be for some of you more experienced modders to explain me how difficult this would be, what would imply, etc. Can this be done at all?

Thanks in advance for helping this wannabe newbie out!
