This hacking minigame is incredibly frustrating and unfair. They only give you four attempts to randomly guess the correct password from a pool of around twenty words. It's practically a game of pure chance, relying entirely on RNG, which makes the whole process feel utterly ridiculous and infuriating.
Do Zoomers really not know how computers work?Is it true you don't understand files and folders in Windows?
>>738853616The game never tells you this but there's hidden mechanics where you can click some of the bullshit characters (I think if its in brackets) and it will reset your tries or give you an extra try. If you know this it turns into a pretty good minigame

>>738853616The amount of words is dependent on your int/sci level btw if you see 25 words its because you are a retard

>>738853984Where did you learn this then?
>>738853616lmao fucking retard
>>738853616shitposts aside, that minigame is very poorly designed, it actually gets easier with increase of difficulty, because longer words knock off more letters
>>738854563it's pretty hard to ignore when the cursor suddenly highlights an entire string of characters when you move over a bracketit's not just any bracket however it needs an opening and closing bracket, you move over the opening bracket and it highlights the brackets and every character inside of them[, (, <, or {
>>738853616Just make a habit of saving before you try the hacking mini game. Even with high intelligence on your character they can still be a pain. The xp you get is always worth it though.
>>738854892Is there a way of knowing if it'll refresh your attempts or remove a word?
you just spam the special sequences that get rid of 75% of the dead choices Bethesda are terrible designers
>>738855125No, which is why you should make a few guesses before you hit the brackets for a recharge.
>>738853984>If you know this it turns into a pretty good minigameNo it doesn't. You search for all the special characters first, because most of the time they will remove duds, and then depending on how many you are left with you either get lucky with the tries you have, or you are unlucky and have to reset.
Are there any mods to skip it if you're INT is maxed?
>>738853616This identical post being posted for what must be 3 years now, always cracks me up. Who makes these?
Yeah, but why does the minotaur have its dick out?

>>738853616>`>*click*>"unlock"Get fucked, Todd.
>>738855397you take 3 guesses first. this narrows down the word choices through deduction. plus theres a good chance one of the specials will refill your guesses.
>>738853968The Fallout show brought in a ton of normalfag retards
>>738853616I like that this bait still catches people
>>738853616You don’t understand how it works if you’re having this much trouble with it
>>738853616It's a shit game anyway
>>738853616If you pick a word that has a lot of letters in common with the other words, you can rule out a lot of the words immediately. You also have a choice when it comes to the weird symbol brackets, they can give you more guesses, but they'll probably just eliminate words. You have to decide either to do them before you guess to eliminate wrong words, or do them after and hope for a refresh. Even if you don't do that though, once you have two or three words picked, that's enough for a deduction.The correct answer is roaming. It's the only word that shares 4 letters with farming, but only two with mankind.
>>738853616lots of people don't seem to realize that the numbers correspond to the position of the letters in the word. you'd never choose MANKIND since it only has 3 letters in the same position as FARMING (A, I, N)
