    Legerdemain under World skills category. Gives higher chance for forcing locks not necessarily faster lockpicking.

    Close your eyes and learn to go by the sound, that's what made it the easiest for me.

    Indestructible determination that is incorruptible from the other side a terror to behold annihilation will be unavoidable every broken enemy will know that their opponent had to be invincible. Take a last look around while you're alive I'm an indestructible master of war!!

    Trust me, with a small amount of practice you can do this with your eyes closed. When I first started playing I burned through many a lock pick trying to figure it out.

    Look at the Springs, not the Pins. Springs start to vibrate before the pins do. Spring starts to vibrate, release the button. Win.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I wasn't aware any of us were being "mean" about it? That's not how I read it at least.

    As soon as it starts vibrating, release it, should lock the pin, doesn't matter what order you do them in, takes a little practice then becomes easy.

    ok, everyone has said it and its really true... watch the springs for the wiggle!
    there are only 3 distinct levels to the pins, its either high - medium - low

    & if you invest in the skill line, you can pick a lock or force a lock based on your mood.
    good luck!

    Could always invest in an Xbox controller and switch to Gamepad mode just for picking locks... The vibration is awesome for knowing when to release, way easier than sight or sound.
