Forum Overview :: Fallout III :: My vote is for lockpicking

[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Last"]Hacking a computer takes more brainwork on your part so just by being clever it's like your character has bonus points. Lockpicking relies more on the stats, though, so it's worth spending a bit more on.[/quote] This is extremely YMMV. With some finesse you can pick any lock that the game allows. I hated that the game froze me out of some locks with that artificial minimum number requirement. LET MY SKILLS DO THE TALKING. So soon I had 100 in Lockpicking and 40 in Science (and I carried around a +10 Science labcoat which I donned when I needed to get smarter and hack a 50 terminal). [/quote]
