skill penalty (lockpick)

G

First time out of the vault
yo, it seems sometime during the third mission my main character's lockpick skill has gotten some sort of penalty (i.e. it's in red and is really low), but i don't know why or how to get it back to normal...ideas?
 
You are wearing armour that has a skill penalty, you have taken drugs and are suffering from withdrawal symptoms, you have received damage to either your eyes or arms or perhaps you are concussed.

Armour is easy, take it off.

Addiction to drugs will wear off in time, or just say yes.

Damage can be healed with the doctors bag.

Choose one or all of the above.

does this include stimpacks? only thing this guy has taken is stimpacks. i tried wandering around for a long time, it doesn't seem to be wearing off.

i tried that, he's not injured, and as such it says "has no effect". strike three.

i'm honestly thinking it's some kind of bug, after reading about the lack of QA this game had :(

What version of FOT:BOS are you running?

Have you patched it up to 1.27?

yep, first thing i did before i even started playing the game was patch it. oh well, i already started over.
 
I got the same problem. It seems that the regular lockpick is bugged in that when you equip it, you don't gain any skill, but when unequipped, it removes the skill that was SUPPOSED to be added.

To test this, save the game. Equip and unequip a regular set of lockpicks, checking your lockpicking skill each time. When I did this, I got no skill uprgade, but a downgrade when I unequipped them.

It seems unfixable atm. However, you can still use extended lockpick sets. They work correctly and have enough bonus to lockpick (if you have 2 equipped) it won't matter that you got the penalty previously.
