Is it Worth Keeping the Skeleton Key in Skyrim?

The Skeleton Key is a powerful artifact in Skyrim that can unlock any lock in the game. However, it comes with a drawback: using it will permanently increase your lockpicking skill by one, making it less challenging to pick locks in the future.

Whether or not to keep the Skeleton Key is a matter of personal preference. If you're a completionist or want to be able to access all areas of the game, it's a valuable tool. However, if you prefer the challenge of lockpicking, or if you don't mind using other methods to bypass locked doors, you may want to consider selling or destroying the Skeleton Key.

Pros of keeping the Skeleton Key:

  • Can unlock any lock in the game.
  • Makes lockpicking easier.
  • Can be used to access areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Cons of keeping the Skeleton Key:

  • Permanently increases lockpicking skill.
  • May reduce the challenge of the game.
