Although there seem to be maybe four types of lock difficulty, I think there are tiers hidden within those types. I can do very hard locks now, but I still hit the occasional near impossible one. I’m picking every chest I find, at night going unlocking every door I see. I’ve been playing it on PS4 a week or so and I’m two levels from maxing lockpicking. Even breaking picks, you get a bit of experience so keep at it.
Even a hundred tries later, I wasn’t picking the very easy locks effectively.īut it does start to just suddenly work better, the higher the skill gets, it suddenly gets easier, less jerky, more smooth and intuitive.
It’s not impossible, it’s meant to be hard to simulate that Henry, a fairly normal bloke, isn’t going to be immediately breaking locks the first few tries.
