I am enjoying the Oblivion remaster except for one thing: Lockpicking. I was good at the old Oblivion lock picking. There was a clear audio cue, I have good ears I guess, and it was both easy and satisfying. Many found it impossible, but I had the gift.

In the remaster they've removed that audio cue and now there is only the visual motion of the tumblers to react to. I do not have fast eyes, only fast ears as it turns out. I am bad at the new lockpicking. Curse your laziness, anonymous Virtuos programmer who chose to take that shortcut.

That's a weird thing to remove. Seems like a job for the mod community.
