📋 About This Mod
Tired to waste your time on mastermind games in an \"action\" game like fallout 3 ? With this mod , hacking terminals is really more easy ! You can choose ONE of these esp : Easier_hacking_5_8 : Terminals will show 5-8 words possibilities instead 5-20 in original game. Lucky_hacking_5 : only 5 words possibilities Action_Boy_hacking : only 1 word possibilities , i don\'t want to waste my time with this ! ( more close than older fallouts ) By the way terminals still need science skill to open. Enjoy ! Cheers, Hereticus.
