Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to use lockpicking skill of my companions? I didnt put a single point in to stealth skill thinking that I simply pick up on the road some rogue type companion and be good with it. The result is that my "roguish" companion has twice as much skill points in lockping then me, but it doesnt seems to be for any use to me. Meaning I cant unlock basically anything I encounter.
