As you attempt to pick the lock, your hand slips, breaking the lockpick. No matter, it happens all the time. You try again. And again. And again. That was your last lockpick – it seems this chest is going to remain locked. Has Oblivion's lockpicking system left you in a situation like this? Maybe you'd have better luck with the system from Skyrim. It seem💖s a deb💮ate about this is raging in the Elder Scrolls community.

Which Lockpicking System Is Better? Skyrim or Oblivion?

It seems not many players have figured out how to properly lockpick in Oblivion Remastered. While there is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a sureshot method to it, it seems 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:many prefer the Skyrim version of the minigame, as it's more intuitive. Over on the Oblivion sꦓu🥂breddit, fans are split between which of the two is easier.

"Seriously, think about it. Think about all the times you spent literally minutes of your life trying to find the clitoಞris of the Master lock in Skyrim. Continuously breaking picks. Exiting and re-entering the lock to hope for a better deadzone," says a post by one player. "This is not a problem in Oblivion. Even on a Very Hard lock, all you have to do is wait for a pin to move slowly."

However, one player pointed out that the game does not explain how it works. "If you don't [know the technique], it's f***ing impossible," said their comment. I know that sounds stupid like "yeah that's the mechanic" but I played a full playthrough of 𒁏the original, and ne🎃ver knew until now, almost 2 decades later."

Another noted, "Do people actually struggle with skyrim/fallout out♉ lockpicking? It's extremely simple to find sweet spots."

Of course, you can negate any of this trouble by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:getting the skeleton key in both games. But if you're going into Oblivion Remastered blind, you're probably going to have 🙈a hard time with those locks.
