I've recently gained both lockpicking skill levels from Fingers. Now I'm not really sure how to lockpick properly though. At the moment I just randomly hit the cursor keys and I sometimes get lucky. Can anybody show me the correct way on how to do it?
Much appreciated. |

Yes. If you´re short on lockpicks you can save before you start and reload when you know the combination.
When you´ve got a feel for the system unlocking a chest is a matter of seconds.

Gorath is right. I saved before each one I picked, wrote down the combination and reloaded and used it. It helps you increase the skill as well. A little cheat, but more like common sense.

I advice you to keep the combinations of the most important chests on paper.
When I start the game a always first lockpick the chest of the smith in the Old Camp, take the raw steel, make crude swords out of them and sell them of.  |

You have to guess the combination. If you mess up, you have to start over. Simple as that.

Wait a sec. . . Dexterity has nothing to do with how well you pick locks. It's your lockpicking training that's the factor.

I think ServanteS is confused with Gothic II. In Gothic II the dextrity is connected with the lockpicking abilitie.
Don't worry, I've noticed many people who get confused by the Gothic I or II. |
