I am currently in the Thalmar Embassy and I found a display case with two elven daggers that I would like to replace my two steel daggers with. However, when I attempt to pick the lock it tells me I have no lockpicks. What's the deal with that? I shouldn't have to have lockpicks if I have the Skeleton Key with me. Anyone else run into this problem? This is on the 360 by the way, so I can't use unlock in the console.

Odd. I'd just buy a lockpick if this is the problem. Maybe the reasoning is that you need the tensioner as well as the pick itself.

Nah, it should be automatic. Does it happen with every other lock?

What should be automatic? You still need to PICK locks with the Skeleton Key, it's just unbreakable.

ahh in the game again is it, cheers for putting that in the title [censored].

Yea, I know. I′m talking about the "tensioners" that Revenant515 mentioned.

There's no tensioners. The game guide textbook says it should be able to unlock anything. So maybe a bug? *spoiler* I didn't ever use it though before finishing the quest.

How else am I suppose to get people's attention and find the answer to my problem moron? Besides, it's quite obvious that it's in the game considering all the daedric quests pretty much are. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

for starters...put it in the spoilers forum.

I never tried it without lockpicks. I have no idea.

Well he didn't have to call me whatever was behind that censor. It really isn't such a big spoiler that he feels the need to be a jerk about it.
