Terminal Hacking is a lie

[Fleshbits]

Very often I go to hack a terminal and it says 0 likeness to some words to where there simply are no words left that don't contain letters from those that were chosen already.

Anyone else notice this?

You have to watch the order of the letter :
LIKE and KILL only have a likeness of 1 (the I)

do what i do , randomly hit words , and exit when you got 1 choice left
its very time efficient then "pressing duds and likings"

its actually faster to reload then wait out the timer, its a random guessing game and nothing more.

Terminal hacking is fine, this is what you would call an operator failure.

I endorse this as the most effective way to hack in Fallout games.

1.) Slam head into keyboard till correct password is selected.
2.) Rejoice
3.) Repeat

Or get good at logic puzzles, don't guess, and get everything in 3 tries or less.

If you're too braindead or lazy to do a quick logic puzzle, then sure, you can be lame and cheese it instead of spending 30 seconds to crack a simple code.

I think there is a misunderstanding of how this "minigame" works. When it says there is a likeness of 0 that means that there are no letters in the word that are in the correct place.

EX

Guess: Kail Likeness = 0
Guess: Like Likeness = 3
Guess: Lake Likeness = 2
Answer: Bike


Even though Kail had 2 correct letters in it, they are in the wrong place. So it has 0 likeness

The point is its usually faster to speed guess and reload then to actually try to figure it out, especially if even if you do and guess wrong you could wind up wasting more time.

its not a very good or fun , or well explained puzzle system.
