(Do people really force locks? This is probably the easiest 'lock' minigame in a TES/Fallout game.)8 -
belial5221_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I get most of em unlocked with forcelock,rarely fails,except advanced or master sometimes.And forcelock is good if you jsut running speed farming.I only take time if I know someone is around,so they don't snag my chest.2

LOL! At first I thought you meant the date on the OP, so I scrolled up to see how much of a necropost it was.
And then I realized...I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!1 -

Sure. Just bc it‘s doesn‘t mean it‘s enjoyable.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I used to force locks all the time, but a while back I decided to force the lock only if there's a time-related reason to do it.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!2 -

When I play on Stadia, locks Advanced and Master are downright impossible because of the delay with the pins. Why am I playing on Stadia? Sometimes I don't want to be on the PC, sometimes I'm in bed looking to kill some time before sleep or I'm on the toilet needing to occupy the time.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭If you have the skill to force locks, why wouldn't you?
Because (1) each attempt is guaranteed to break a pick regardless of whether it ends in failure or success, (2) you don't get any experience points for forcing a lock, and (3) some endeavors require picking locks rather than forcing them.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!1 -

Yes because it's a lot faster and I can find chests literally every 20-30 seconds. When you have 5+ stacks of lock picks banked why wouldn't you force?Please support my Quality of Life Suggestions here:

✭It's not just you OP. There is something truly broken with the pickpocketing chance. Just like you attempting to pickpocket an NPC with an 80% chance for success actually fails 4 out of 5 attempts.1 -

✭✭It is curious that your chances of opening a lock appear to be the exact opposite of the percentage chance presented.
I used to think it was just my imagination, but after keeping a record of 200 locks, it does indeed seem to be that the chances of opening it with a force are indeed the opposite way around.
The hardest pop open pretty much immediately, but I can rightly burn up four or five on a simple one, mostly for my own amusement at just how broken the RNG system is in this gameEdited by Integral1900 on 14 August 2021 05:083 -

This! It seems I am way more likely to fail to force a simple lock than an advanced or master one.0 -

Percentages and ratios are not the same statistic. This is a fallacy I see a lot of people falling into.PC-NA | PvP (Gray Host & BGs) | PvE (vTrials & vDGs)1 -

That's why it is usually a bad idea to lay off your entire QA team ...
