Until the end of course when the prosecutor went "I DEMAND TRIAL BY COMBAT" and none of it mattered.

Yeah, I really hated that moment.

It would be fun to see how they justify why Khajiit suddenly went from over a dozen different breeds to just one, though. Maybe Talos thought they were too many?

Even sillier is the justification "all Khajiit in <province x> are of <breed y>", despite the canon that "breed" is not dependant on genes at all, but phases of the moons.

So, no matter where they're born, they should pretty much be all the breeds, unless each provinces for some reason Khajiit are only born under certain moon.

If one particular cycle were preferable over another, then it would make sense for couples to plan their children's births around particular cycles. It's not unheard of for couples to do the same thing during the Year of the Dragon in China, since the dragon is thought to be the 'best' year to be born under.

Anyone else find the lock picking mini game far too easy? I can still do master locks with no skill in lock picking and with only using 3-10 lock picks

Me too. I think Oblivion's was better. You actually had to have a high skill if you didn't want to waste 30-60 lockpicks for master locks.

They had to make it easier because people were complaining.

Oblivion's lockpicking was easy as piss, you can do it with your eyes closed.

Welcome to every action rpg in the last...well it's been a few years at least. I miss stat and chance based hacking/lock-picking...

I disagree. One mistake and you lose your lockpick and possibly have to start all over again. And there's little room to make mistakes.

With a lockpick skill lower than 25 you pretty much sucked at all locks higher than third tier.

Wait what what no, what

The lockpicking minigame is one of the best improvements of Skyrim. There was an ingame ability to make it easier, but it relied majorly on the skill of the player to complete the minigame(And how many picks they can horde, but if you spend 20 on every master-level lock you won't have that much for long). You have three different avenues for completing it depending on the player and how prepared they are.

Granted minigames can suck like the Oblivion speechcraft one, but this one felt better than the Oblivion one so I'm totally cool with it and don't understand the mods for changing it to the Morrowind system.

Hmmm...

Is player's ability is more important in a RPG or the character's ability?

Security skill used to matter you know.

I'm not sure how many Khajiit would be that restrained and foresighted.

I'm not that good and I use enchanted +lockpicking items, but yeah.

I can't fathom why click and let the RNG figure it out would be an improvement for some people, though.

Well, you're not likely to get proper immersion without both.

[Leatra]

Is it immersive to be able to pick every lock while playing as a barbarian who knows nothing about thieving? If you want to have a RP experience with Skyrim, you have to play the game with self-imposed rules.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Oh noes, the game makes me use my brain and not rely on it for every single bit of prompting and hand holding.

Strictly speaking, I think this may be the definition of RP.
