I am thinking of doing a run with no Rogues most of the time. Is there any good stuff at any locked chests?

Oath-Breaker is in the Deep Roads, so you'd have Varric with you anyway if I recall correctly.  Just boost his cunning to 20 as I think it's a Standard locked chest.

As for rogue gloves, they'd only be of interest to a rogue Hawke, which I doubt would be the case here.

I always annoy myself when I stumble into a trap and automagically hit 'F9' rather than taking the suitable penalty for my recklessness (especially when I was the rogue who should've been proceeding more cautiously).  But the lure of XP is so great… :P

I've still yet to conclude why, upon tearing their pants, the occupants of Kirkwall see fit to seal them inside increasingly-more-complicated-to-unlock chests. Are they embarasssed? Ashamed? Do they fear they'll be stolen by ruthless bands of mercenary tailors? Who knows.

I am more interested, and disturbed, by the fact that Hawke collects the torn pants, even going so far as to loot them off fresh corpses.

I imagine the pants are just  fine until Hawke, in a hoarding frenzy, tears them off the dead body.  Disturbing indeed.

Generally there is nothing special thankfully. Just free xp, a few silvers and rogue specific gear are the highlights.

I downloaded a unlock all chests mod for more coin when a mage or warrior because Varrick thinks it's beneath him to pick locks and Isabella is a clumsy fool.

This. Especially useless if you're using Varric to pick locks. Nobody but Hawke can wear them.

Or what's the other... emptied stained bottles or something like that. I had one in a locked chest with a trap in the front of it. They love their bottles.

picking locks will net a bit of extra cash, but that's about it. rogues can be handy though if you want to be told that there's a trap about 30 seconds after you trigger it

WHAT? Where? The wiki says it's unobtainable in game.

I found a rusty metal spoon in a locked chest. Used it against Meredith on nightmare, only took me 10 seconds to beat her.

To be honest, I was just bored at work ;) It is unobtainable, indeed, AFAIK.

Clearly, there is a rash of pants thefts occurring over the period of several years. The citizens of Kirkwall, fearful of theft of their pants, take steadily more drastic steps to safeguard their pants as the years roll on.

Back on topic, unlocking chests and disarming traps are little experience point nuggets. Passing them by would hamper your leveling speed somewhat.

Possibly the design for Rune of Striking; it's unlikely (but possible) that I missed it otherwise.

Locked chests have all kinds of goodies. If you don't tote around a rogue with at least 40 cunning in Act III, for example, you'll also miss out on things like the 15gp chest which is behind a set of traps that can only be disabled by the aforementioned rogue.

Also, how many epic fights did you do in Act I only to get 80xp, and then open a chest for 100 and two traps for 100 each? Rogues = good damage and free gold and xp. I can't see why you'd want to leave 'em behind. Hell, Varric doesn't even need Dexterity. Give him Cunning and Constitution, with a smattering of Willpower for stamina, and you're good to go.

its not a matter of wether they good or not , just the fact on a second or 3rd run you like to try new characters and try something diffrent.  i agree with your post.

i notice someone mentions a mod to unlock all chests , ill get that.

I dont think its worth worrying about items or gold from chest , not missing much there . Xp is the biggest thing though im not sure how much it would all add up to. If the XP is the problem you could always add some in the console :)

Missing out on opening chests or disarming traps is simply painful, emotionally painful. Does it make sense from a rational standpoint....no. I still cannot stop looting everything I see and being upset if I cannot open a chest full of worthless junk.

BTW, to the poster that mentioned not investing in Varric's dex over cunning...you lose a lot of damage early game as Varric lacks auto crit abilities. I know, I always take Varric to 30 cun by end of act 1 and to 40 during act 2 if Hawke is not a rogue. His damage output (or lack thereof relative to if I had taken dex to 30) is very apparent vs the Rock Wraith which is really the only time I miss the extra damage. Isabella or Rogue Hawke on the other hand do get auto crit abilities so heavy cun investment is okay.
