lockpicking is fun in-game, but pickpocketing for stealth rogues would be great.

I totally forgot about pickpocketing.

Make a minigame out of it, you need to be ranked in a thieves' guild to be able to do it, and tools, maybe you need Rogue/Mage utility to find the lock before. Why not, I would like it.

As long as its present, I am happy. Node guards reaction to break-ins would be a must too.

I thought more of a PoI or Dungeon kinda setting where you can find secret treasures behind locked doors and chests.

To protect treasures, traps are planned

Locks could be useful only to add lock-picking as an additional way to reach them beside disarming traps.

It's an additional spam filter. It can be a little overzealous at times. I manually cleared your posts earlier

Ultima Online has a whole skill dedicated to picking locked chests for loot. And the tools required are crafted.

Tier and skill would be required the higher you go for difficult chests.

This could also play into treasure hunting, where maps drop in the world and you'd need lockpicking to open the chest after finding the treasure.

Would be pretty awesome imo.

I generally enjoy this in FFXI as well, though for me it's usually about rescuing captured NPCs so they can go home to the town.

I liked that there was a small economy for rogues in WoW to open chests.

I would be all for it. I liked Lockpicking in Dark Project /Thief a lot. I liked it in Elderscrolls : Skyrim as well.
( I know one of the Pictures might not be from those Games. But it serves as an Example. )

@Aszkalon in a way, it's just solving a puzzle to unlock it. Doesn't even have to be mechanical. Seen lots of "magic" locks that required a puzzle to be solved in order to unlock. They'd probably have to set the bar quite low so the plebians do not get discouraged... lol

Maybe just me, but i think of everything from Low to not t~ooooo difficult -difficult, i am down for everything.

Some things became harder for me to do over the Years, i blame the aging-process. But i am confident i can still take on most Puzzles everyday. >:-)

I have also nothing against the Thought of some Players who are really, REALLY horrible at solving Lockpicking Puzzles, having to ask other Players for Help and Assistance.

Because guess what -> i still like the Thought of Ashes of Creation "forcing" People to be more social again and less dickheaded, as it was for Example the Case around 2005 and when WoW didn't even have a single Expansion. 😁
