Oblivion Lockpicking Sim

Share Collapse

Author Comments

A short fan game based on the lockpicking minigame in the remastered Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.


Nice for getting some practice before wasting 20 lockpicks on a hard difficulty Oblivion lock.


You're a lockpicking specialist who's on a mission to steal an unusually valuable scroll. Pick apart increasingly tricky locks on the way from padlocks to enchanted doors and vaults.

Controls:

  • Left/Right arrow keys to move lockpick
  • Up arrow key to lift tumbler pin
  • Space/Enter to lock tumbler pin in place


Tips and Tricks:

Carefully observe how fast or slow the pins fall when you lift them. Slow pins are easier to lock in and a pin changes speed each time it finishes falling. Being patient for a slower pin can help avoid mistakes.

This is cool.

The Enchanted Gate level made me fail a few times lol, but very fun! I played through all the levels in it!

From what I can tell, this is a pretty solid simulation of the lockpicking minigame from Oblivion. And from my experience, I can tell I'm not gonna be fond of it in Oblivion - getting a feel for the pins was a nightmare for me.

The addition of a basic plotline is a nice touch - really ties the whole experience together.

For people that don't understand/struggle with the Oblivion lockpicking mechanic, this is actually pretty great! I really like that you have the timing lights, as well as tool tips to help out. Nice work!

No joke, this is actually a perfect training opportunity for people who don't exactly know how the Oblivion lock picking system works. Very neat little experience!
