Lockpick bug

[Zombiejager]

Everytime i try to lockpick a chest i get this urge, to find whoever greenlit this minigame and punch him in his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mouth. Is this working as intended, or am i missing something?

Lockpicking is fine. Stick to very easy locks until you've learnt how to do it - without a high skill, even easy locks are difficult to start off with.
Watch a video if you're still not figuring it out.

1. Throw mushrooms in the garbage and start playing games with your mouse
2. Go to Miller's (main quest) and tran lockpicking there a bit
3. Git gud

Just lvl up thievery and use quick finger pots.
Yes the dot is supposed to have a lot of drag and wiggle.

If you hate it so much, just pickpocket (or kill) people for their keys.

I have not seen or heard of a bug with lock picking. Pretty much is working as intended. It is harder than the first game, but you get used to it pretty quick. Plus it gets pretty easy once you get level 30 thievery. The area you have to keep the dot on gets bigger.

Take the perk that lets you gain thievery for selling stolen items. Then break into a armor or weapon shop at night and clean it out. Run to the Devil's Den and sell it (give it) to the inn keeper there. I jumped from mib 20s in stealth and thievery all the way to 30 in one go.

Worked fine.

In the kindest way possible it's probably a skill issue.
