About lock picking

I have opened far more than 100 locks and I am still at 0 lock picking level. How many does it take to level up?

You don't level up skills by doing in this game, you pick perk cards and equip them. Lock picking perks are under Perception.

You never level up the skill by using it; it's all perk based like all other skills. You add additional perk cards to level up. There's also a legendary perk that will let you automatically open locks without going through the lockpick minigame. As well, if you have the legendary perk maxed you don't need to use any regular perk slots at all. Even better, the legendary perk covers both lockpicking and hacking at the same time.

you have to use perk cards there are 3.. what you are suggesting is the idea of fallout 3, NV and 4.. this is a different beast

put 3 points in perception and buy the 3 lockpicking cards to pick all locks. once you hit legendary perks, buy master infiltrator if you want. use 3 points in intelligence to get the 3 hacking cards to hack any terminal.
