My special roommate ability is that I can do the dishes and wipe surfaces clean after I cook

That works with the wooden chests, but I don't think you can crack open like steel lockboxes and gilded chests and stuff. I could be wrong though. And I'm assuming Knock only works on certain locks under a threshold

For me it's like, if I went thru the trouble of finding a chest or something and then I fail the lockpicking roll, it feels awful. Something in my brain says I can't just walk away from it, it feels insane to me to just leave something like that there

Every day I try and resist this siren call....
