I remember definitely a strong loner RP, liked to pick but still hunt if I wanted. PP I think was for more RP purposes and if someone pissed me off, course I slightly remember being for hire on that area too..... Anyways, any help and info on things that have changed as to picking/hunting. I'm in Brig right now and follower of voln. Any info on how to pick again would be appreciated, I returned for gs3 and the caliper and stuff was kinda new then also

Guild: Get a master to reinvite you; forget the back dues, it will cost you a flat 15000.

To use calipers and make wedges and all that rot, you need to train in lockmastery at the Guild.

You have a decent skill set as is. There are now shield and armor skills so read up on those. I am not going to comment on PP skill, except to say I wouldn't bother. It's a cheap skill, but IMO not worth the bother if you get spotted. If it's part of your RP, keep it.

Unarmed combat from ambush is quite effective; mind you, nothing wrong with whacking a critter over the head with an axe or a falchion. Read up on the unarmed combat system, though; it's rather new. We've had quite a few folks coming back recently and asking for training advice here; go back a few weeks and read the back posts for further information in that regard.

If you aren't in Ice Mule area, drop the survival for now.

The basics of locksmithing haven't changed much. Disarm the box, pick it with the appropriate lockpick. Voila! If you want to be a superior locksmith, start saving up Mental TPs for spells 401-404. Self cast lores are more effective than those from scrolls/imbeds.

You didn't mention if you are in a Society or not; there are 3 of them now. Different Societies use different things to power their benefits. If you are in CoL, you may want to get some Harness Power for mana; if GoS, more physical fitness for stamina.
