You don't need to BUY more than, say... 25-50 lockpicks in the entire game... here is why: Since you can save the game at any point... just do a save in front of ANY lock you have to pick. If you start to destroy too many lockpicks, just load your save, and your right back in front of the lock with your full amount. This doesn't take but a few seconds to do either, thanks to fairly quick load times. I still say to carry 25-50, because some of the harder locks will take quite a few tries, and if you only have a few, then you'll be re-loading a lot. Also, you'll pick them up from bandits and such, so even if you use say, 5 or so and "pick" the lock... then you'll be down 5 picks... but should pick those up randomly. So, with this knowledge... find a place to buy them, buy about 50... and then NEVER BUY THEM AGAIN. Depending on your security skill, you don't need to worry about saving in front of very easy, or easy locks usually... but since it litterally only takes a few seconds, you might want to anyway... in case you have a bout of "dumb thumbs" and break a few on those too. Set yourself a goal of say a dozen or so picks for some of the harder locks... and after you break that many trying... just load the save, and try again.remaGloohcSdlO
