I think the Science skill is a bit underrated. I did very well with a 100 science, small guns, and medicine character since those two skills can increase the effectiveness of medical items and allow you to find some real nice stuff, especially in Vegas.
Wow I didn't know about the brackets, braces, ect... All I did to hack was pick the first 3 words, and if I didn't get the right one I would just leave and repeat the process :P
@Linkthe1st Hey, I was just wondering if you could an oblivion character creation guide for you ideal stealth, combat, and magic characters before skyrim comes out
@Linkthe1st for LP's, just highlight the important parts of the story. not to compare you to one of your competitors, but orcidea is doing a fallout 3 "backtrack" and is showing us his gameplay of replaying through the game, but he is only showing highlights. he has shown megaton, sewers, and galaxy news radio. just a thought
Concise, authoritative, and informative, as always. You use relatively simple graphical effects to great advantage, a sign of a truly professional presentation. Your fantastic work, as you are no doubt aware, is very much appreciated!
Can you do a DLC version of unique/strong weapons guide for Fallout: New Vegas, or are you waiting for the Gun Runners’ Arsenal pack and Courier Stash pack to come out before u start?
Wow I never knew about the Parentheses, Brackets, etc. trick, and I'm a fucking Fallout Fanatic I have every Fallout game even the ones from the 90's and all the collectors additions and shit, probably spent about 1 thousand on all my Fallout shit.
I have played both Fallout 3 and NV loads of times from start to finish and I have always been bad at hacking why I always put lockpick to 100 and leave science
@TheLmfaodyl I just have 100% explosives and 100 science and blow up the locks :p and then I also have high capability to use Grenade Launcher and Grenade minigun
wow. I've been playing Fallout 3 since launchday, and have played through NV and FO3 extensively (clocking probably about 1000 hours between them) and I did not know that about the open and close brackets. I've ALWAYS just hacked using words, even when using a hacking oriented character
@Altorin How could you not know about it? The Hacking tips in the beginning tells you that? Doesn't it? Or maybe I am just natural good with games and computers... lol
It should also be noted that you can quit the terminal with 1 try left, and when you reopen the terminal you have the full 4 tries again. Also, a good tip is to look for the most common suffix appearing in the collection (such as "ed," "tion," "ing," etc), because the most common word ending is usually part of the answer, and if you don't get at least the length of the ending correct, then you can rule out all words that end with that set of letters.
its one of the few skills that i always get to full as quick as possible , especially in the point lookout it can make the whole of the mission run so much more smoothly , though i like what they did in new vegas with the brotherhood server routing to catch the virus
Another good tip is using the suffix. ed,ed,ing are usually used by more than one word in the mini-game at a time. if there are more than 1 ing word there try one, if you get 3/X or higher, then there is a good chance that your password is one of those words. That can also help in lowering your chances of failure and the search for more of the symbols.
@ZZenoXX Same here. I opened this video only to hear Link's epic voice and concise explanation of a somewhat confusing game mechanic and was pleasantly rewarded with a very useful hacking tip. Thanks, William!
you are BIG!! It is a very nice experience, though I still don't get it much, I think I'll have to keep shouting ghouls..thanx

Because I'm all about quality over quantity. LPs on the other hand are quantity over quality due to their sheer length.
