Is lockpicking explained anywhere? I just intuited it the first time I played this, but now it feels like the arrows are just pointing in random directions and don't correlate at all to which arrow it expects me to press. I've read all the guides and discussions and apparently I'm the only person in the world stupid enough to need it explained to me ;..;

There is a brief optional tutorial for it in chapter 1 right after the first escape, and I believe there is an entry for it in the Help menu (navigate there through the main menu or use the H hot key). The main thing about it is that each time it spins, there are two new arrows it expects you to press, either at the same time or one at a time in any order (if you're using a controller). So if the outer arrow is pointing up and the inner arrow is pointing right, you press the up and right keys.
(There is also a key combination to just skip lockpicking minigames when they show up, but I don't know if that's common knowledge or not)
