I have NEVER successfully opened a lock without forcing it. To get the new companion Tanlorin special skill, you have to successfully open a lock, not force it. I finally saw a simple lock there (most of them I saw were intermediate) and was able to open it. Soon as I did, I got the message stating I got the Garland Ring Humming Pick upgrade. Thanks for pointing out this location where I can steal in peace! Of course I will use Pardon Edicts before I leave.
Have they nerfed this location? I just went there with my main (on PC NA) and could only count 2, 3 closed locked boxes. I did a quick logout and back, and again there were only a couple closed boxes there. I did see other characters in the process of lockpicking a box each time I logged in, after which their box disappeared from view. Maybe it's because the place is being heavily lockpicked?
I've still had pretty good luck there. I did run into some competition for the safeboxes this week though. You probably just tried it at the wrong time.
When you start lockpicking you'll see a 'force lock' option at the bottom of your screen. At first the odds of success are very low, but as you level up legerdemain you can increase those odds.
I use the Accurate World Map addon. It is meant to be a more lore-friendly rendition, but also higher resolution and comes with some additional map settings that allow you to customize what is shown or hidden on the world map. www.esoui.com/downloads/info3377-AccurateWorldMap.html

How did you manage to get your world map to look so readable and clean like at 0:43?
