*SPOILERS!!!*



So I just started doing the first assignment of miller Pesheck. He asks me to nab a ring. I "fail" to do that, return to him and enter a dialogue. During that dialogue there are a few questions regarding lockpicking and I don't pick them because there are a few other things I want to ask first...

... and then those options disappear. Did I miss out on a few easy EXP points / training added to my lockpicking stat? I sort of like the idea of early and easy lockpicking boosts and I haven't gone too far beyond that point yet.

Should I reload an earlier save and ask about lockpicking? Do I get some free EXP if I do? Would love to know!

If you ask about lockpicking he gives you 10 lockpicks and lets you try on one of his chests. Nothing unmissable but 10 free lockpicks are a nice head start considering their price.

Later on he'll even teach you about pickpocketing but in that case I believe it is necessary to use the skill in the first place, so you don't want to miss it (if it's even possible to miss it at all).
