Bushido:
i like the hacking minigame now that i know how it works

i used to like the lockpicking minigame more because i thought hacking was moving goal posts or something, but now that i actually have the means to clear it and it's not just Bushido's Brute Force Simulator 2287 it's engaging and usually a welcome change of pace before i get right back to minigunning things

I'm pretty strict on "cheating" mods but all this does is remove the slow and boring guessing aspect of it. Doesn't change anything except the time spent.

I use the "Easy Lockpicking" mod only because the lockpicking ui is non-existent for me.

I'm getting so tired of lockpicking since I've been doing it throughout fallout 3, new vegas, skyrim, and now fallout 4. At this point I just walk away from a lot of locked containers because I don't feel like going through the effort. I'd like a mod that allows instant lockpicking at the cost of 1 bobbypin. We all have like 200 anyway.

you guess the first word. just pick whatever feels right
then, assuming that wasn't the answer, it'll tell you how many letters it has in common with the real password, and you can use that information to make your second pick a lot more likely to be right
after you pick three words (maybe less depending on difficulty? I always play on the easiest difficulty), go around and find all the brackets that have a match, on a single line. it doesn't matter if there's characters between them, as long as you have a ( followed by a ) on a single line, or a [ and a ], or a { and a }, or a < and a >

for example:
|)%.;{[}()>_
has two such strings, {[} and ()

*[[,='<:)!}$
={-:]\;\$VER
does not have any in it

each one of those you find will either remove a word that isn't the password, or refill your tries. removing duds is a lot more common, and a refill isn't guaranteed. but either way, it increases your chances of finding a match
