So, there you are in your first dungeon with an Adept or Expert level lock - move on. YASH requires lockpick perks to be able to pick a lock. I will deal with the simpler issue first - lockpicking.
YASH changes some mechanics, but much lighter than Requiem. YASH is all about skills, with skills causing huge scaling of damage and protection and effect, with perks supplementing skills. Another question would be the difference between guides - for people who have played both, do you like the Reqtified guide or YASH guide? There seem to be a couple differences such as complete crafting overhaul etc.
Which, imois good for balance as NPCs don't use perks. I've been trying to find the differences between them, but there aren't really that much that I can find. Please re-enable javascript to access full functionality.
