Forum:Lockpick Skill Issues

cool thanks!

I have been playing Fallout 3 for about 2 years now, and have been previously too lazy to get help with a problem. My lockpick skill is at a full 100, but theres an icon next to the number that looks like this (-). I still can't unlock very hard doors, what do I do, and what is dropping my skill level? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milomonster2001 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~ !


 * The problem most likely lies with the armor that you're wearing. The lockpick skill is modified by perception, so if you're wearing an armor that decreases perception then your lockpick skill will suffer. --Anon undefined 07:09, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was wondering what the (+) icons were next to some of my skills, but this helps me. Thanks. Am I right in thinking if something is at 100 and there's a (+) next to it, it doesn't actually affect it since it's already at 100?Jimbo2go 23:13, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * Oh. Oh. Oh. I know, i know. ASK MEEEE!!! Heal yourself of all rads/addictions. Go to your status page of your Pip-boy, on to the screen with your crippled limbs on. Go down to the o bit about effects and look for any negative ones on there. It will tell you all about what your head gear, body outfits, and certain perks (like the defender one you get from desmond in point lookout). It will tell you if you've got any negative effects and what they are there.
