It's sad kind of that a few neat perks are locked up in the Lockpick, Speech and Pickpocket Trees. There are some nice perks in there, but a number of Perk Points have to be burned through to get to the good ones.
Summarises my feelings perfectly as there is no need to use those perks. Some limitations/unlocking system is required. With fallout you had to have set skill to tackle cetrtain lock levels - for example I don't think a starting char with 15 skill should be able to open a master level lock at all.
