Is Lockpicking broken?

Post » Mon Jun 04, 2012 1:07 am

Is lockpicking broken now? Whenever I try to pick a lock and the pick breaks it exits the lockpicking screen. Makes hard locks extremely hard since it resets each time. I've only noticed this happening today...

Edit: Gah... This was meant to be in the troubleshooting forum. Got my windows mixed up.

That happened to me a couple times too. It eventually stopped, but for now I would let off on the left anolog stick (or your equivalent) when a lockpick is broken.

I think you are being "detected" while picking the lock and thus the game kicks you out of the interface when the current pick breaks. The only time I have had this happen is when I'm trying to pick a lock and someone KNOWS I'm trying to pick it.

I have certainly picked locks fine since the update today.

Maybe that is it... I was doing the training chests in the Thieves' Guild and wasn't sneaking... I will try again.

Yup. That was the problem. I'm just an idiot. Thanks.
