Im playing on xbox and after sitting at the millers and practicing for a while lockpicking has become pretty easy. So much in fact that it kinda feels to easy. So yeah i play with console and controller and have been for a long while.

I was so bad I broke all my picks on the “training chest” lol
Lol. I didnt even know you could break lock picks on the training chest.

Well I did, I may be the only one tho ha! I just can never get it past half a turn for some reason. Even when the sweet spot zone is extremely small
Are you using a controller?
Yes I am using a controller
I play on Xbox one, and have had no problem whatsoever lockpicking. Is it a clunky system, absolutely but it is far from impossible. Just practice on the millers chest until you level up a bit. Currently I can unlock anything but the hardest locks without breaking a single pick. I recommend practice and patience.

I did until i ran out of picks and it wouldn’t even allow me to talk to the miller again
i think the problem is some people might have low visual acuity/spatial iq. you know, these are the same people who can’t measure distance while driving. ultimately i think there might have to be an option to auto pick based on skill level.
based on a mod description, it seems the problem lies in their inability to detect the sweet spot relative to the spinning wheel. they can’t keep track of it once it has started moving. to people who have issues, is this an accurate description of the problem you are experiencing?
I’m not sure where one would get more picks, i never ad an issue finding them. I mainly got mine from bandits. I would imagine he millers would have some. Have you completed the quest for the Miller? I know he won’t talk to you until you do. The quest I’m referring to is the one with the ring btw
I think he would talk to me now, just haven’t gone back to talk to him as I think I did that before the quest. I was only saying I broke all my picks on the practice chest lol
Even though I’ve gotten much better at lock picking compared when I first started and almost level 20 now, still not a fan of how it works in the game. I hoping the tweak their doing to it especially for console players like me works out.
You are not 
Holy sh1t pc f@ggots can be really dumb. They play on their EASY pc controls, think they have “SKILLZ LEL” and and try to come and talk down to console players like they know something. Maybe you dolts could actually try to use the console controls and see for yourselves what we are talking about, but nope, you’ll continue to use your easy “mouse and click” and then think you have “skillz” and tell console players to “git gud”, lol you people are pathetic. The worst part is that i am pc player too but holy sh1t do i hate the PC gaming community; most bunch of toxic fuckers you’ll ever meet in your life i swear. Yes mate, its literally impossible, i was doing the monastery quest were i had to steal the writ from the lockbox which was apparently set to “very easy”, lol as if! You should’ve see it mate :'D, i literally bought 20 lockpicks, and 3 saviour schnapps. Nightfall came and i went to work. Lol imagine this, i spent literally an hour trying to open this thing, in that hour i ended up murdering the german knight grinch, and the young noble and his guard cause they walked in on me. Then after that mess, i seriously broke 19 lockpicks, and BARELY MANAGED to open it the thing on the last lockpick. I freken bolted and got the hell out of there and drank a saviour schnapp cause there was no f-ing way i was going to do that again. Yes lol, this system does need rework!
I play the game at my PS4 and as some people said, it was harder ate the beginning, but got manageable with time and practice.
I believe lock picking is how it should be.

I’m going to wait till fixed, its sort game I would play again once I do get to the end but Its annoying with it so broken on console, amount times I find chest and think I wonder what I would of got, ive even tried to skill itup and still impossible 99% on easy locks, I’m only glad I managed it on the witch quest to move story along on that one.
No there isn’t. you cannot get items inside a locked chest nor open a locked door other than lockpicking it.
i hear ya. my left stick wont go all the way around stops about half way and wont move anymore. you mean i have to lockpick for quest to advance, no frigin way.
In regards to the quest at the start, you can beat up kunesh and take his key. That unlocks both door and chest.
The Miller has picks but his tutorial well that’s the impossible part for me. Can’t get past it. Pickpocketing isn’t bad though it is awkward. Can’t wait till they make the lock picking a bit easier cuz I’m so no enjoying it especially since I can’t get past the tutorial.
