I just restarted and bought picks from the talmberg guy in the prologue. I wanted to see how much the skill effects the ability to unlock.
Well its just as easy as it was for me with 16 skill. So i know its a huge psychological hurdle for people. They haven’t done it so it seems impossible.
Here it my trick. Go to a “very easy” lock. Find the sweet spot (if its not close to the center back out and re-enter until the sweet spot is close to center ring) . This will make it easier visually but not neccessary. Then do NOT worry about trying to rotate in tandem.
Just keep rotating the left stick,
while focusing on keeping the right stick on the sweet spot as it will move with the lock.
So to reiterate, keeping rotating left stick in a circle , this way you don’t really have to think about the details of the left stick! Just focus more on keeping the right stick in the sweet spot and mindlessly rotate left stick
