Just show the character typing and some random garbage on the screen and then 'You hacked the terminal!' or 'You failed to hack the terminal!'. Kinda more like the classic games I guess. They should have just made it so you see your character hands/animation doing it for you and failing if the skill is too low while succeeding if the skill is high enough, maybe have some values in between auto fail and auto success so that you will still fail but have a lesser chance depending on how high that value is (of course with fallout 4 model of no skills it would be dependent of perk rank, I guess). I think they should have just made it not be a minigame. Or the many thieves and criminal trespassers that sue their victims?Ĭlick to expand.From all the Bethesda Minigames, I only liked the Oblivion one because it was more realistic.īut I hate minigames that require player's and not character's skill in RPGs. They could be sued as the 'bad influence' that made innocent upstanding little Johnny pick the locks on his dad's gun rack, or pick the locks on his neighbors garage. to not instill the interest in trying to.

They could have easily made a half decent lock pick minigame by just copying their own work from Oblivion, or ~gasp~ trying to do it one better.īut how do you do that without teaching kids to pick locks or more importantly ~for some. (I mentioned this on Bethsoft once, and was told by a mod that she would ask her locksmith friend if that were true.) it is impossible nonsense nobody picks a lock with a screw driver and bobby-pins and the pins don't break like that either. It is a real concern to not appear to 'train' pre-teens playing an M rated game to use anything realistic that is in any way against the law, or at least that can be traced back to the game/studio.

And so in this land of 'I can sue you because I can point my finger at you ~it's obviously YOUR fault, and I want my money!'. Unfortunately the US has become an INSANELY litigious pass-the-buck/it's not my fault/everybody gets a trophy for showing up ~society. I don't think that it's a lack of knowledge, I think that this is yet another case of 'Why we can't have nice things'.
