As I played SE (no mods), I found a couple of "differences" and wondered if others found these, too.

1) Lockpicking seems not as "easy" as it once was. Are others thinking this, or am I just out of practice? For instance, a Novice Lock I can usually start at the top, then use 45 degree increments to either side, I can find the sweet spot easily. Now, if I don't go to in 22.5 degree increments first, I'm snapping lockpicks quite often. I usually don't start 22.5 degree increments until I get to Adept or higher locks.

2) When I enter a new area, there seems to be quite a bit of lag before I can move or do anything.

3) Followers seem to have a limited teleportation ability. As I was running about with Lydia, when going down rock faces or off of edges, if I stayed close enough to her, see "seemed" to teleport to me. If not, she'd go the long way around, like usual.

4) I'm losing a lot of opponent loot as the bodies disappear quickly, or I just can't locate them after a fight. I was attacked by 3 Cultists and by the time I got 2 of them looted, the third was nowhere to be found (I had their body place marked in my head). Another instance had me running all over fighting some bandits and by the time I got back to the first couple, their bodies were gone. I traversed quite a few "cells" in the open (no transitions) throughout that fight.

So, are others experiencing things like these? Or am I losing my mind (what's left of it)?
