This may sound like a stupid thread or question here but it's something I was thinking about doing the TG questline again and i'm just curious.
Why is it that delvin claims when you first join the guild is cursed, which only through main quest of the guild we realize it's true, but the dragonborn seems immune to this curse? I mean we go through the small jobs completing 5 sets for certain cities not counting the Khajiit Caravans one. And he claims we're a natural thief and never saw anyone like it. Shouldn't this curse that happened from mercer taking the Skeleton Key also affect us, the player, as well? I mean unless of course the excuse is if we invest is quickly raising our pickpocketing skill up by reverse pickpocketing gold and taking it back, then our chances of successfully completing jobs becomes very slim.
