Changelog 1. DESCRIPTION: Have you ever played Morrowind and thought \"man, compared to Oblivion, this lockpicking system is much better!\"? Or have you ever played Oblivion and thought \"man, compared to Morrowind, this lockpicking system sucks!\"? Or have you never played Morrowind, but still want a better lockpicking system for Oblivion? Then this mod is for you. It gets rid of the lockpicking minigame and introduces Morrowind\'s realtime lockpicking system to Oblivion. It also features lockpicks of different quality, each with a unique texture. They can be found in loot and for sale at certain vendors, just like the usual lockpicks (which get turned into the lowest quality lockpicks of my mod once they\'re in the player\'s inventory). Unlike the vanilla lockpicks, my new lockpicks won\'t break if you fail to open a lock. Instead, every type of lockpick has an average lifespan of X uses. After every lockpicking attempt, there will be a calculation whether the lockpick breaks or not (and the closer you get to X, the more likely it will be). All of this can be adjusted in the INI file, so that you can reproduce Morrowind\'s system (each lockpick breaks after 25 uses) exactly, or take a completely different approach. The formula for success is exactly the same as in Morrowind, and can be found further below in this readme. Note: This mod is very similar to Zumbs Lockpicking Mod, and is in fact heavily inspired by it. However, there are many things that are done very differently. My aim is to get an even more seamless, immersive and intuitive implementation of the system, and also to offer the possibility to completely recreate Morrowind\'s lockpicking system - while Zumbs Lockpicking Mod is, apart from the realtime aspect, actually not very similar to Morrowind, especially if you look at its inner workings. Another point is that Zumbs Lockpicking Mod has several bugs - not game-breaking or very noticable, but they can be avoided (for example, its crime detection system adds the bounty for lockpicking for each guard that sees you - if two guards see you, you get twice the bounty you\'d normally get etc.). So even if you love Zumbs Lockpicking Mod, you might still want to try this out; especially now that Morrowind Lockpicking is just as (or even more) customizable as Zumbs. 2.
