I've got an idea for the problem with the "too linear looting" everyone is complaining about. Also ideas to make the lockpicking perk more interesting. So I would say the hitpoints of safes should to be way higher. the small ones needs to be 10000 and the large ones 30000 and tools should do less dmg on safes (only 10% of the normal Block dmg) so it's needed to use lockpicking. This way no one would stay there for hours and hit them with theyr tools. Then I would change it so safes have better loot in them so it's worth skilling the lockpicking and stay there to try open them. And now the change with lockpicking. The Perk should be changed like this:
Level 1 (Burglar)= You are starting to make a name for yourself. You can pick locks 20% faster and have a 10% lower chance to break lockpicks. There's also a 10% loot bonus when you open them with Lockpicks.
Unlocks to pick small Safe locks and to craft lockpicks.
Level 2 (Lock Smith)= You are now a lock smith and few locks will keep you out. You can pick locks 40% faster and have a 20% lower chance to break lockpicks. There's also a 20% loot bonus when you open them with Lockpicks.
Unlocks to pick large Safe locks.
Level 3 (Safe Cracker)= You are now a world class safe cracker. Pick locks 50% faster and have a 25% lower chance to break lockpicks. There's also a 30% loot bonus when you open them with Lockpicks. Unlocks to pick locked Doors.
This way safes would be more special and the Lockpicking perk is finally useful cause we all know that noone skills this cause we can just hit them until they are open.
