you know, I was scanning some of the other postings on this forum regarding the lockpicking skill, and it seemed like they were talking about needing an actual lockpick item. Is there such a thing? If so, I haven't seen one yet, and that may be why my DK can't do anything...although that's not the reason my DK (yes, he's my leader)gives me, he just says he doesn't have enough skill. I'm already up to lvl 3 lockpick, and still no dice. Can't even pick a barrel. Grr.
I'm beginning to think that some of my priorities in selecting skills was way off. It was kind of frustrating for me, not knowing what all was out there, you know? I only had a few available, and whenever I found a teacher, I just bought whatever looked cool, not realizing that there were more teachers nearby that could teach me more useful stuff that would help me, like weapons skills, and so on.
Oh well, live (and then die a lot and re-load...) and learn, right? In real life you don't get to go back...you just gotta go forward with what you learn from your mistakes. Here's to hitting CTRL-L a lot!!!
Thanks again!
