SuAside said:you dont need to reload your game, just leave the terminal and start over...Jahnri said:As for taking 3 guesses and repeating, dont reload and tell me its easy.
and yes, hacking pisses me off. makes it feel totally fucking worthless.
but lockpicking is even fucking worse... the most irritating loss of time i've ever seen. so i just boost lockpicking to 100% and let the game take it from there.
I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but about five hours into playing I quite literally said "Fuck it" and used the console and "unlock" command on every lock and terminal I found. I hate minigames.

Makatak said:On the surface, it looks more technical than the hacking procedure found in other FPS/RPG games.
In practice, it's just a matter of opening up the terminal several times, taking 3 guesses at a time, repeating, until you get the correct password. And most of the time, the password isn't even directly related to the place you are in or the function of the terminal. So it's not like the player could make a reasonably educated guess at what it is.
Makatak said:I don't understand why some people go out of their way to force-lock or use an /unlock command on locked doors/containers though. The lockpick mini-game isn't hard at all and it certainly doesn't take long to do.

Not sure if anyone else knows about it, but if you look for symbols that are closed bracketed (specifically things like <#$%#>, (HUSTLER), and []), the either remove duds or refill your tries.

What exactly are we supposed to be doing there? I move the bobby pin around a little and then hit force and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. What's the secret to getting it to work all the time?
