Yeah, this game has made a profound effect on the human race as a whole.

In fact, just the other day a man was caught on in a cattle pen just south of Dallas, Texas poaching mammoths without a hunting license. I mean come on... it's only $20 for a six month tag at Walmart, but he claims that the local caves didn't provide enough loot to cover the expense.

On a serious note: I can't think of anything in this game that would influence me to try and recreate the experience in real life.

Thats quite sad to be honest... you thinnking the ingame lockpicking mechanics will actually effectively work in real life?

Hello Poohunter,

your family and your neighborhood are all saying "Hello!" They want to let you know that the police and fire department have been called and are on their way. They are working on getting you out. Your Mom says she loves you and your Dad thinks very highly of you! Grandma and grandpa want to get "Skyrim" back and they regret to have given it to you for your birthday. They feel very sorry. They also said they will make up for it and already got you a new game. It is called "Grand Theft Auto".

Have faith, you will be free soon!

Lock picking was better in Fallout 3 / NV. You had much more 'feedback' when picking locks. In Skyrim your lockpicks will break far too easy.

This, though maybe I should try to carry a sweetroll with me at all times, might be a good experience.

Yea... I play on PS3 and I now walk/jog in stop and start stuttering motion.... It's the only way the world looks right...

I remember when the older TES games were out and I started jumping everywhere.

Only if hes wearing the leather bracers of major lockpicking.

Seriously??

I....actually have done this before.

When I first started playing Morrowind I bought a couple of cheap locks to practice on.......

I dress like a barbarian and shout you never should of come here at the postman.

Yes seriously, after a while I even managed to jump on water.

I remember picking some old locks back in the day, but the OP his own house lock, which makes me think of the front door.

Cheap and small padlocks are easy to pick, the tap who open the lock is not an part of the lock cylinder so if you apply the right pressure on the tap you can open it.
However an good cylinder lock probably require some sort of skeleton key.

There's quite a few people who consider lockpicking/lockmaking a hobby or profession. There's some interesting websites about how to pick real locks and the techniques and skills you would need to do it... as well as gimmicks you can make to help. Sounds like fun. But use it ethically.

It's a good skill to have.

I would advise against taking it up as a hobby even if you don't plan on using it for nefarious purposes. It's illegal to even own a set of lockpicks in a lot of places.

It's perfectly legal in most places, and like I said earlier it's a good skill set to have. A lot of people have lock picks and practice regularly, that doesn't make them criminals.

Wait... I think... Hmmm... Ha, you are being clever! :happy:

Yes, I cannot wait until Bethesda implements it - Ethic Lockpicking. Dogs and cats will be able to pick locks then!

I never said it did, I said the law doesn't like it. It does vary from place to place, yes, but it's a stupid thing to get busted for. No harm in telling people to be careful and do their research.

Yes, yes I am.
