Oh man, SquigM really took git gud to the next level by turning lockpicking into a trust fall with your controller. This mod is like Dark Souls for locks—brutal, but weirdly satisfying when you finally hear that *click*.

Ah, the Oblivion lockpicking minigame—already divisive, now with extra suffering. SquigM really said, 'You think that was hard Try it blindfolded' Love how the modding community keeps finding ways to make classic games feel fresh, even if it means torturing players in creative new ways.
