Anybody know how to hack computers? I mean I can't even hack the "very easy" ones, how the hell am I supposed to do this? I wanna hack the one in the Super Duper Mart...

Alright, off the top of my head it is like this: there are a bunch of words littered around the screen with random symbols tying them together. You want to pick the correct word. When you select a word, the computer will tell you how many correct letters are in that word. So if the words are

BEETLE
BEATLE
BORGLE
BAGEL

and you choose "BEETLE" and the computer says "5/6 Correct" you know that the answer is "BEATLE" because you can determine blah blah blah also if you look at the symbols and ever notice two closing brackets like (!) or {£$%} or [&&*] or <"£$%&"%$&£"^$&*£$^*£$^*£%^*> highlight the full thing and click it because it will either return one of your lives or remove an incorrect answer off the screen. Basically ANY two brackets that close.  So yeah that is how you hack computers in the game. But it is TEDIOUS as shit and pretty annoying to do.

sare beat me to it but he didn't mention the brackets so there you go

Thats it? Seriously thats it?

I have yet to see a game capitalize on Shadowrun style hacking (Sega version), except for one death match mod for Steam.

Thanks guys the hacking paid off not easy though, btw anybody know what kind of weapons you can make with misc items? Like waht combined with what will make what weapon?

I can't give you the exact LIST OF ITEMS but the best thing I have made out of schematics is the Shishkebab, it is basically a flame thrower sword and I got the schematic when I killed that whiny bitch vampire leader in the sewers.

I didn't even know you could get perks outside of leveling up. I helped some chick in Megaton do research and for one of the things I had to get 200 rads and see her, or 600 rads. I chose 600 rads and got a perk that let me regen crippled body parts anytime I'm at 400+ rads.

Once you finish that quest depending on how many bonus objectives you finished during the quest, you get a "survivor" perk. Depending on the amount you did (3, 6 and 9 I think) you get a different survival perk.

Also, if you convince her to stop writing the book you'll gain the "dream crusher" perk.

Deathclaws are pretty cool creatures, though rather fast and deadly. I encountered one at an Enclave Outpost, and it was being controlled by them.

jesus christ, i beat this game last night and i'm still feeling the disappointment.   i was only level 13 and thought i must have had a ways to go.  the ending felt so thrown together like they were trying to meet a deadline or something and thought hey lets throw in a freakin huge robot that shoots LASERS out of its eyes and hates commies to make things feel ""EPIC"" ​

i'm not a fan of the series so i can't really compare the plots or endings, im just really disappointed because i got all prepped with weapons and supplies and it was just such a letdown, otherwise i was having a blast.  i'll admit i almost immediately started a newgame as a good character with new skills, and the interactions seem more rewarding this way.   i guess i'll stick to exploring all the places and sidequests i missed, but man i haven't been so disappointed with a game in forever.
