Lockpicking

The Stealth skill is a measure of how well you can sneak around people. It allows you to get closer to people without being seen, and increases the time it takes for them to spot you, if at all. It is also tied to the secondary stats of Visibility, Noise, and Conspicuousness. You gain a perk point for the Stealth skill every other Character Level.Stealth has multiple layers (just like your clothing!!!). To begin, crouching will allow you to stay low and out of sight, as well as to muffle your footsteps. Crouching won't help if you're wearing a full set of plate armor, however. It is important to remember the Secondary Stats here. Most notably Visibility, Noise, and Conspicuousness.When in certain locations, one of two icons will appear. For example, in someone's home, a blue icon will appear to notify you that you are trespassing. If the person catches you, they will ask you to leave. If they see you do something you shouldn't do, they will call the guards. If you are in the guard's barracks, or that pretty noblewoman's bedroom again, a red icon will appear. If you are caught in this area, the guards will be called immediately and you will be arrested.Visibility is just how visible you are to people. By staying in the dark, and crouching low, you will be practically invisible. It is important to note that it is suspicious to be crouching around in an open area, so be cautious.Noise is very important, and this is affected by what you wear. Wearing simply cloth attire will not make any noise, but adding in metal components will begin to cause ripples. Additionally, the footwear you choose is very important. A pair of metal greaves is clunky in comparison to a priest's cloth slippers. I'd opt for a pair of Air Jordan 11s in Retro Low (Closing Ceremony) over a pair of overrated Yeezy Boost 350 v2s (Oreo). Also, when picking a lock, failing and breaking the lock generates noise. Or making a dog bark.Conspicuousness is important for the thief who likes to not be sneaky. This has two factors, first it is important to note that you can be hidden in plain sight. For example, wearing a guard's uniform will allow you to get nearly anywhere. (Except that pretty noblewoman's bedroom. Sorry.)Lockpicking is a tricky skill in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It takes a good amount of practice, even though the game does a fair job of explaining it.
