Hi..I have maxed lock pick a good few levels ago, BUT
until today I was running across locks that I was told I needed 100 (max which I am) to open this lock...and not able to open..the small screen in the left bottom of ur game screen was showing a skill level of 98...which is incorrect. Today I am killin Muties in w/e military training colledge and I opened a safe and I noticed in the little screen my level was now 100. I assumed another bug which had sorted itself out. # mins later i try to open the doors to roosevelt library located at this colledge w/e and I get the same message about needing a skill lv of 100.
This bloody bug w/e it is has stopped me at a number of places as I am no6t allowed to open locks that I in fact have the skill level for.
Anyone know a way of fixing this as its starting to become a tad irritating..I can live with the other crap that happens as in constant crashes, mobs takin no damage etc etc. Brilliant game but badly flawed
Any help will be muchero appreciated

You may have some sort of status effect that is lowering your PE temporarily. When you look at your PipBoy is there a (-) next to Lockpick?

There's a (-) beside all of them actually...however I can hack terminals at 100 nps...its LPick only its effecting...btw we are talking Fallout 3 here....i'm prolly in the wrong forum but too late now..
Cant change it in the config files? if thats even possible.
