Quest The Skeleton Key

[Jeff the DragonBorn]

Ok so I've got the Skeleton Key and am supposed to return it to complete the Thieves Guild Quest.

BUT I like having it so much that I put off returning it.

I don't wan't to give it up ( that's What She Said hahaha)

So Can someone please enlighten me, do I get to keep it after I finish the quest?

Kind of a spoiler here but having the Skeleton Key is just fab! ( as Austin Powers would say.)

Sadly, you don't. But you get a daily choice of three ninja powers when the questline is complete, which I find to be worth the skeleton key.
Picking locks isn't that hard, just keep a bunch of picks with you.

And yes, that is what she said

Thanks for the info. I think I will keep it a while longer till my lockpick skill goes higher. I'm at 89 now I think

Keep it for a while, and use it on master locks. Then once you feel like you've leveled up lockpicking enough, go and return it for one of the three nightingale powers. Just an fyi, you can switch powers as much as you want, you just need to wait a day before a new power becomes accessible.
