I recently played System Shock 2, which has a hacking stat and some sort of hacking puzzle. I couldn't figure it out and asked for help on the logic. One person said gitgud, but it turns out, it's pure RNG. Fuck that shit. Game has quick saving, so I just save scammed that.

Lmao that sounds pretty rough. Thankfully the fallout one is not RNG and is definitely learnable.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out the logic of the puzzles, so I went looking for walkthroughs and asked on one forum. The gitgud comment was impressive because in hindsight, they had never played the game anyway. You can effect the RNG with the hacking stat, but why present it as a puzzle?
