So this game is very repetition based?

I beat the game without having to repeatedly visit neighborhoods to do tasks and steal more. I just played stealthily and looted whatever I could while visiting a neighborhood for the main story missions.

Also, of course the game is repetition based LOL. It's THIEF SIMULATOR. Not "The Life and Crimes of a Thief: An In-Depth Story of a Crook". The description even explains how this is a sandbox game, so repetition should be expected to at least some degree.

Not really but sometimes you spend crap on crap to early or you dont steal enough on previous jobs, so now and then you have to do a few more to catch up to where you should have been at, im at the ending now and have probably had to do that once. Depends on what you mean by it, if do you have to repeat over and over the same one thing for hours in order to progress then no, do you have to do maybe same house a few times or something sometimes to progress then yes, but hell its fun, so who cares, i go back through stuff even when i dont have to, theres always sumin you missed

It's the going back to the same house time after time that is repetitive, and a bit boring to me. I'd love to be able to tie the residents up, that way i could loot the whole house in one go.... Maybe this game isn't for me:-/

Each neighborhood has multiple homes though? The only reason for you to return to the same home over and over again is if you are failing your missions..

That's what i mean, eg one mission will send you for something from the safe, then another mission will send you to the same house to break the toilet

Just do a bit of freelancing, it will still give you XP.

IIRC, press S to pop the pick down, when the pin gets to the bottom, left click to set it. then press D to move to the next pin and repeat. you'll usually have to hit S a few times to get the pin into the set position.
there should be a practice lock in your shop.

Just steal, That's the game bro and you will finish it over time

So if i cant do lockpicking its still ok to play and advance? I deleted it but i can reinstall

if you enjoyed the game, yeah. just go to your garage and practice, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.....

You get xp just from stealing things and successfully returning home without being caught. You get more xp if it’s something you’ve never stolen before. There are also side missions you can take from the computer from the hire a thug tab, those get some xp and money too. You can take them all and do multiple in a single run, there’s no limit to those other than availability. I just take them all as soon as they pop up and get them done in one go, if it doesn’t fill my inventory.
