Good lord, make a patch for console lock picking! This is ridiculous. Love the game other than that so far, though.
Quick tip : focus on speed, not accuracy. The faster you are, the better chance for success
Meh. I like the lockpicking. Yes, it was very hard at first, but once I 1) got used to it and 2) increased my lockpicking skill a little bit, the easier locks are trivial now. I still struggle with harder locks, but Henry (and I) isn’t a master lockpick (yet), so whatever. I quite like how on console I use both sticks together. Feels very natural (but for sure, its not easy, but nothing is easy in this game!)
Why does everyone expect to be an expert at everything right away? It doesn’t make lore sense for Henry to be an expert at anything besides maybe smithing and why would the player expect to suddenly master a skill themselves? We “release” players have had two days to play, that’s not long enough to get good at something.
