AxeAlot Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 In a recent Youtube interview by DTOID , we find out that the lockpicking in Skyrim will be VERY close to that of Fallout 3's lockpicking, rather than the Oblivion style. I just wanted to know what you guys thought about this and which style of lockpicking you prefer.....Fallout or Oblivion. INTERVIEW -----> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlockecole Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Fallout's was way to easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micalov Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I HATED the oblivion lock picking and sucked at it :P Prefer the fallout style tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arredamaal Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hmm, I'm fine with Fallout's so long as the number of lockpicks isn't as absurdly high. (Or have a pick breaking reset the 'sweet spot'.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxeAlot Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Personally I have never played Fallout so I haven't experienced it before, hopefully it won't be too hard to get used to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreekillX1Alpha Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I preferred Oblivion because its the closest to the real thing (minus the sophisticated tumblers used today); as for fallout's, it was way too easy, I'd like it to be hard, that makes it worth while as a skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you're right about it being hard but its definately worth while as a skill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfey86 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Fallouts. Oblivions was easy as hell, and the fact that you could pick any lock regardless of your skill level was dumb. Hopefully you won't be able to do that in the new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimembrain Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 strange .. I thought oblivion's was easier .. fallout 3 you HAD to have the skill level to try and pick the lock and even then the pick had to be perfectly set or you broke it with the slightest twist .. With Oblivion I could pick master level locks at level one .. I had the sounds and movements memorized perfectly... Both systems were good to me .. Oblivion's relied on YOUR skill and not your character's which isn't exactly an RPG thing but was fun if you were like me and got the system figured out .. Fallout 3's was more like an RPG should be and character based .. Maybe a nice mix of both styles would work best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
