Hacking Terminals and Lockpicking hints and tips for Fallout 3

Hacking Terminals and Lockpicking

When hacking a terminal there are groups of symbols highlighted by these: [] or {}. These groups of symbols will either be dud passwords or reset the number of tries you have to guess the password but not reset the password itself. Also after your third fail you can just exit the terminal and retry but this does reset the password. Or you could just save before hacking then when you fail just reload. Also I have found more often than not that the password on the �very easy� terminals is the first word on the left column. I don�t know if it�s the same for �easy� terminals but feel free to try, just don�t blame me if it�s wrong. I haven�t failed a hacking yet thanks to these methods.

Also for lockpicking, when the bobby pin is close to breaking you can just exit and retry the �minigame� and the bobby pin should be in perfect condition. Or you can, as before, just save prior to picking the lock then if you fail you can just reload; I have saved lots of bobby pins using these methods.
