I've complete the whole quest line on another character and all I
remember was that he had the Skeleton Key, and as I said, as implemented
in the game it doesn't open any lock automatically - it's just
unbreakable.

It's just lazy writing "We don't want the player in there until we say
so, so the door requires a key" so why not just give him the key instead
of having him supposedly pick it?
In Previous games in the ES series (Daggerfall certainly) the Skeleton
Key would unlock anything - so if it actually functioned like that in
Skyrim that would also be acceptable - but it doesn't as you find out
when you get your hands on it.

It's pickable or it's not, and making it unpickable and then having an
NPC pick it is about as bad and lazy as story writing gets.

None of that explains him behaving like an ADHD Barbarian in combat and
screaming battlecries instead of like a thief who is tying to sneak up
on an enemy.
Sound caries and you'd think the friggen head of the thieves guild would
know that and wouldn't be trying to alert every single thing in the
entire dungeon that we're coming, especially Karliah.

Considering how ineffective he was in combat, realistically someone like
that would NOT be throwing away his stealth combat bonus damage.
It's immersion destroying.

It's like the whole combat routines were written by someone who didn't
understand stealth at all.

I fear for the next ES game if the quality of writing and thought put
into the games is dropping this low.
