Lockpicking

[o_O]

Omg Lockpicking in Oblivion is so damn hard, had 40 Lockpicks and they are all gone so fast, any way to go around opening chests, or are they even worth to be picked open?

IIRC you get it at the end of the Thieves Guild questline, or somewhere around there. Unlike Skyrim, you actually get to keep it.

The Thieves Guild is worth doing either way. In Oblivion, it's probably the best questline, tied with the Dark Brotherhood.

You are confusing Skyrim with Oblivion. You have to go to Nocturnal's shrine and do her quest.

You're saying that it's really difficult now. Once you get used to it, you'll end up replacing it like I did.

Or just become handy at Alteration. There are spells that allow for unlocking chests/doors etc

Ty guys and gals for the repplys/tips

Btw one thing ive noticed its that chests contain very few items EX: 1 potion and 5 gold coins... almost doesnt justify time and effort putted in lockpicking.

I just bought the game a couple days ago which is the first time I've played since back in 2006 when it originally came out (on 360). It's such a timeless game and I'm very glad I chose to get it again, but you're 100% right. Lockpicking is much harder than i remember, and it's definitely frustrating to spend a bunch of time (& lockpicks) opening a chest to only find a couple pieces of gold . I don't plan on using any console edits/cheats, but I haven't started the Thieves guild yet so I look forward to that questline & getting my security/sneak skills improved. So hopefully soon I'll be stealing with the best of 'em. Lol

it has 2 speeds, fast and slow, you pick on the slow speed, you break your lock pick at the fast speed

To be honest I agree, I think it was designed with console more in mind, cause I didn't have this much annoyance with it before on ps3
