Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Lockpicking

I distinctly remember opening chests without needing lockpicks a few months ago, but i could be wrong.
In any event, it is a pointless mechanic that adds nothing of value to the game.
Sure, it is not hard getting lockpicks, but it is also not fun or challenging. It is make work for the sake of make work.
