But before then,Oblivionhad an entirely different lockpicking mini-game that’s notoriously confusing and hard to understand.
Moving your lockpick with the thumbsticks or the A and D keys changes which tumbler you interact with.
Press the interact button, and your lockpick will push it upward.
Your goal isto set all the tumblers in the upward position.
In addition,breaking a lockpick may cause already-set tumblers to fall, reversing your progress.
The higher your Security level is, the fewer tumblers will fall when you break a lockpick.
The sound ofa ready-to-set tumbler is (allegedly) slightly higher in pitch.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has 60 different trophies related to its main and faction quests.
Heres how to achieve all of them.
Honestly,learning to pick locks inOblivionrequires patience.
I’ve beaten it multiple times and I still sometimes forget.
You’ll be doing a lot of guess-and-check to train either your eyes or your ears.
