Requiem Shard

It seems to me that, with the changes, the lockpicking timer just sort of ends without any sort of result. I don't get a "you failed to open the lock" or anything similar anymore. And, low-level treasure chests that I could open in an attempt or two are now refusing to budge.

Lockpicking has gone from bad, to worse.

The two perks I purchased mean nothing anymore ( sturdy picks )
If lockpicks just randomly break during the process, those perks need to be removed.

if the process just never makes it to completion ( as it is now ), then it needs to be fixed.

Please just set it back to its original working, except withhold gains until the very end of the pick attempt.
Then every issue is solved. Picks break, the perks work as intended, and players advance in skill.
